Snedden delighted with success of Under-19 World Cup

Lynn McConnell

February 5, 2002

New Zealand Cricket boss Martin Snedden has been delighted with the way the ICC Under-19 World Cup has worked out.

It is the first big tournament run since he became chief executive of NZC last year, although staff members were involved in the running of the CricInfo Women's World Cup in 2000.

"It has been terrific. All the feedback has been great and the organisation has been spot on.

"I know the ICC representatives here have been over the moon about the efficiency of the operation.

"Tim Murdoch and Catherine Campbell have gone a great job of organisation while Karl Johnson and his team have done an amazing job on the grounds at Lincoln for the tournament.

"And reports from Auckland and Dunedin where preliminary rounds were played have also been terrific.

"It has just gone perfectly, touch wood. It has exceeded my expectations. I knew our people were good, but I am very pleased with how this has gone," he said.

All it needs now is for fine weather for the last three days of the event, tomorrow, Friday for the Plate Championship final and Saturday for the World Cup final.

The High Performance Centre which includes New Zealand's cricket academy has stood up well under the pressures and scrutinies of overseas teams.

"It is an excellent facility," Snedden said.

"We are under-taking a major review of it over the next few months. It has been going for a five-year period and we want to see what we can do better," he said.
