IN MEMORIAM (Eng.)

Anil Kumar "Sunny" Sood [sunny]

FCA is sad to announce the untimely death of ex-Finnish National team player Anil Kumar Sood, alias Sunny. Sunny sadly passed away on the morning of 15th January, 2010. He is survived by his wife and two children.
 
Sunny, as he was popularly known, represented Finland from 2000-2005. He was a hard hitting middle-order batsman and a very economical slow-medium bowler. His best batting performance was against Croatia in 2000 when he top scored with 64 runs. His best bowling performance was against Luxembourg in 2003, when he conceded only 4 runs in his 5 overs while taking 3 wickets.

He also captained Helsinki Cricket Club with distinction for many years employing his own brand of attacking and fun cricket, winning the Finnish league on numerous occasions. 

FCA shares the grief and the loss with his loved ones. 

RIP “Sunny” and long may we all cherish your memory both on and off the cricket field.

Kerava NCG work phase #1 completed

Despite the wet weather conditions in the last 2 weeks, work is almost completed on phase 1 of the Kerava National Cricket Ground project. All the main parts of this first phase before winter have now been completed, except for the seeding of the outfield grass. Seeding has now been moved to April 2010, due to the inclement weather conditions. Most importantly of all, the underground preparation work went very well, with over 2 kilometres of irrigation piping now imbedded under the outfield. The key 30 metres of pitch foundations have also been laid and will settle over the winter before the new Notts wicket is laid in the spring.
