The England & Wales Cricket Board has announced that it will be doubling its investment in Chance to Shine, the cricket charity that was founded in 2005 to address the decline of the sport in state schools.Following a decade of pioneering work in the grassroots game, during which time more than 3 million schoolchildren have been introduced to cricket, the ECB yesterday announced that, from October 2017, at least ￡2.5m will be donated annually to Chance to Shine, with a further ￡500,000 to be made available for matched funding.According to Luke Swanson, Chance to Shines chief executive, the extra investment will targeted on primary schools, with the aim of reaching an additional 200,000 children a year. This places the charity right at the heart of the ECBs game-wide strategy, as spelt out through their framework, Cricket Unleashed, to inspire more people, especially families, to get involved with cricket.When we work in primary schools, we have the opportunity to introduce the game to every child irrespective of background, gender or parental involvement, said Swanson. In a primary school, cricket has the chance to reach the whole community, and give kids of all backgrounds the chance to play together.Matt Dwyer, the ECBs director of participation and growth, said that the timing of the announcement was designed to maximise the opportunity that the sport has in the coming years to reconnect the sport with its public. With the Champions Trophy and Womens World Cup coming up on home soil next year, followed by the mens World Cup and the Ashes in 2019, the drive to attract new players and supporters begins now.It is not just about seeing cricket survive, its about seeing cricket thrive for generations, he said. As a game we are very much focused on inspiring that next generation, and taking cricket to classrooms and playgrounds across the country.We believe cricket is uniquely placed to enrich the lives of young people, whether that be through the development of nine of the 10 fundamental movements skills, the fact that we are the only sport that incorporates our values into the official rules of the game, or the fact that cricket can deliver so many in-class curriculum outcomes.Cricket has the ability to inspire kids in our communities in a way like no other and we will do that together with Chance to Shine.The funding boost was announced by Colin Graves, the ECB chairman, during Chance to Shines annual awards dinner at Lords on Wednesday evening, following a coaching session at St Mary and St Peters Primary School in south-west London, attended by the England batsman, Sam Billings.Every career starts at the bottom level so its fundamental that these kids get the chance to play many sports, especially cricket, said Billings. In many schools around the country its football dominated, cricket is not on the curriculum.Certainly in Bangladesh with England we had this conversation. I think its about a 50/50 split in terms of who went to state and independent schools, and club cricket plays a massive role too in getting that relationship right. Club cricket was a great benefit to me growing up but again, it starts with the schools.
Gianluigi Buffon Italy Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.

Federico Marchetti Italy Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.England will face a high-pressure showdown with Scotland if they succumb to unbeaten New Zealand in Fridays World Cup clash in Wellington, says Mark Butcher. Eoin Morgans men, who lost to Australia by 111 runs in their opening Group A game, face another tough encounter when they take on the Black Caps, who overcame Scotland by three wickets on Tuesday to make it two wins from two games. Opener Moeen Ali says England must up their skill level against the co-hosts and former batsman Butcher told Sky Sports World Cup that a second defeat would be tough to recover from. New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum says his side will have to play extremely well against England Having played so poorly against Australia in the first game, all be it that nobody expected England to turn Australia over at the MCG, you then go along and play one of the other favourites in the competition, New Zealand, and you are 0 & 2 if you lose that one, he said.Suddenly the Scotland game - something that you would walk through - ends up being something that you really have to concentrate hard on.At the moment, the way that some of the England players are going in terms of their form, youd imagine that the nerves would be ramped up to very close to 100 per cent. So its not going to be straightforward for them.I do think that New Zealand gave Scotland an enormous opportunity in terms of the way that they batted; I think that Brendon McCullum will be disappointed with the lack of professionalism in that run-chase, even if they were trying to get it done as quickly as possible to boost their net run-rate. Marcus North and Charles Colville enter The Zone to assess Englands performance against Australia at the Cricket World Cup But even so, to allow the opposition captain to stand there and say we ran them close will be disappointing; they didn’t really - I think that’s pushing it a little bit too far.dddddddddddd New Zealand allowed Scotland to feel as though they got close. The game was a very one-sided affair.After taking on England, co-hosts New Zealand face Australia in Auckland on February 28 before ending their Group campaign with matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh on March 7 and March 13 respectively.Butcher says that the Black Caps, who play all of their games on home turf, will be out to prove a point on Friday.New Zealand will be looking forward to playing England; most teams - the former colonies, if you like - enjoy playing against England whenever, wherever.In a home World Cup and, given the sort of form theyve been in over the last six to 12 months, New Zealand will be desperately looking forward to that England game. They will not be as profligate when it comes to their turn to win a game against England as they were against Scotland.New Zealand took a firm grip against Scotland thanks to a devastating new ball burst from Trent Boult and Tim Southee that reduced Preston Mommsen’s side to 12-4.Boult (2-21) found prodigious movement to trap Calum Macleod and Hamish Gardiner for golden ducks - but Butcher believes theres no reason why Englands new-ball attack cant wreak similar havoc.Jimmy Anderson is the most effective bowler with the new white ball in the first 10 overs of the game, he said.He could very easily do to New Zealand what Trent Boult has just done to Scotland. Those deliveries could have got any batsman out.If you get the ball full enough and its swinging, you have the chance of making in-roads in a match.You can lose a match in the first 10 overs by batting poorly, so England will look at New Zealands performance and say these guys threw it away, let’s make them do it again.Watch England take on New Zealand from 12.30am this Friday morning on Sky Sports World Cup.
