The tone, which starts out light and self- deprecating—the curse of many a book about English cricket and minority enthusiasms among the English in general—deepens, as we gain some insight into what it took to be a professional cricketer in a time when English cricket was woefully run and still dominated by notions of amateurism that weren't fit for purpose against much tougher opposition.

  • The Authors Xi
    THE AUTHORS XI The Authors are one of the world’s oldest wandering cricket teams and many eminent writers and cricketers have played for them. An offshoot of the Authors’ Club, they played regular matches at Lord’s against the Actors, Artists, Jockeys and Publishers until 1912. Arthur Conan Doyle and PG Wodehouse turned out regularly for the side, even opening the batting together. AA Milne was the best fielder, JM Barrie probably the worst and EW Hornung somewhere in between. The one-time England captain and Prisoner of Zenda star C Aubrey Smith led the Actors, and went on to found the Hollywood Cricket Club with Boris Karloff. Wodehouse was the club’s first secretary. In the 1950s, the Authors played regular matches at Vincent Square against the Publishers. Alec Waugh and Edmund Blunden were joined by Test legends, including Len Hutton, Douglas Jardine and Denis Compton. In 2012, a century after their last match at Lord’s, the Authors took the field again. They revived the traditional games against the Actors and Publishers and faced other opposition, including the Lords and Commons at Sir Paul Getty’s beautiful Wormsley ground, the Gaieties at Lord’s (covered by Radio 4’s Front Row) and a Wisden XI in Victorian garb to celebrate the 150th edition of the Almanack. That winter, the Authors toured India, playing at Bombay Gymkhana, the venue for England’s first Test on the subcontinent, and opening the Jaipur literary festival with a spectacular match against a Rajasthan Royals XI. The captains rode out for the toss on camels and the Authors made the front page of the world’s largest newspaper, The Times of India, the next day.

    T.N.E.B.ENGINEERS’ SANGAM SALUTES THE CRICKETING GENIOUS SACHIN TENDULKAR FOR HIS FABULOUS CONTRIBUTION TO THE GAME OF CRICKET. WE PRAY FOR THE GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS TO THE GENIOUS AND HIS FAMILY. CONGRATULATIONS FOR MANY MORE SUCCESS AND RECORDS. A life in brief Born: 24 April 1973, Mumbai, India. Family: Married Anjali in 1995, paediatrician and daughter of a Gujarati industrialist. They have two children, Sara and Arjun. Education: Attended Sharadashram Vidyamandir High School in Mumbai. Has been a professional cricketer from the age of 15. Career: Scored a century on his first-class debut for Bombay – at 15 the youngest Indian ever to do so. At 16, in 1989, he made his Test debut against Pakistan, the third- youngest player to play Test cricket. More than 20 years on the statistics abound. Tendulkar's 166 Test matches put him second on the all-time list, two behind Australia's Steve Waugh. Last month he became the first batsman to pass 13,000 Test runs. His 47 Test centuries are a record. (Australia's Ricky Ponting his next on the list with 39.) In one-day internationals he has scored more runs than anybody – 17,598. At 37, there is no talk of retirement and he plans to play in next year's World Cup. Sachin Tendulkar Records, Sachin Tendulkar World Records, Sachins ODI And Test Records. Test Cricket Game Appearances: On his Test debut, Sachin Tendulkar was the third youngest debutant (16y 205d). Mushtaq Mohammad (15y 124d) and Aaqib Javed (16y 189d) debuted in Test matches younger than Tendulkar.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

  • 285 - November 2008
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 285 - NOVEMBER 2008 Wednesday 12 November 2008 – Meeting This year’s beneficiary, JOHN CRAWLEY, makes a welcome return to the Society this evening. His first visit was in October 2005 when members enjoyed a most pleasant evening in his company. John Crawley has endeared himself to Hampshire supporters during his seven years with the County. He has reinforced his penchant for making high scores by being the only batsman in the County’s history to record two triple centuries, both at the expense of the Nottinghamshire bowlers. He made 301 not out at Trent Bridge in 2005 and then followed it up with an unbeaten 311 at The Rose Bowl a year later. Virtually all Hampshire supporters felt it was a great pity that Shane Warne declared when our speaker was tantalisingly close to Dick More’s record 316 for the County. When he last spoke to us he felt that the former innings was the best crafted and that, in respect of the latter, the emphasis had to be on winning the match, which Hampshire duly did. Moreover, he made 272 on his Hampshire debut at Canterbury in 2002; he has therefore recorded three of the six highest innings for the County. All three innings are the highest made for Hampshire in the last 70 years – a phenomenal achievement. He might even have made a triple century in the latter innings but was unluckily run out at the non-striker’s end when a Shaun Udal drive was deflected on to the stumps by Min Patel.

Reverse sweeps make me shudder; KP’s attacks (when batting, that is) made me bewail the lack of a basic straight-bat technique and David Warner just makes me think – slogger! And so on. However, Brendon McCullum is another matter entirely. Watching New Zealand lose early wickets in their second Test against Australia and seeing the talented Kane Williamson inching to just three runs in over sixty deliveries was a painful experience until the world turned upside down. Having been beaten comprehensively by his first ball, Brendon McCullum sliced the next ball over the slips for four and then began to construct something of true wonder. With most bowlers going for barely one an over, Mitchell Marsh entered the attack and jaw-droppingly, saw his first over go for twenty one runs.

INTRODUCTION “When I set my easel up on the boundary edge for the 1st Ashes Test, the boyhood excitement and memories came flooding back. The atmosphere was already building, and it was still only 8 o’clock on the first morning. The players hadn’t even started warming up yet! When they eventually did, I have to admit, I felt like getting my tracksuit on again and joining in, as there is nothing that gets my blood pumping more than a contest against the old enemy, nothing! As the morning went on and the spectators arrived, the atmosphere built to such a degree that you could have cut it with a chainsaw. It was electric, and I couldn’t wait for it to get started. To me, every single delivery in an Ashes Series feels like an event and is so crucial but the first ball in particular of an Ashes Test is always a special moment.
