  • GROWTH EXPECTED During This Time, Fingall Said They Will IF All Goes Well, the Barbados Throughout the Year
    Established October 1895 Barbados wins Wellness Destination of the Year PAGE 2 Thursday January 30, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive Stadium to close for track repair By Corey Greaves WORK on the track at the National Stadium is expected to begin from this Saturday, forcing the closure of the stadium until February 11. This was revealed by Chairman of the National Sports Council (NSC), MacDonald Fingall, during a media briefing at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex yesterday. It follows an interview which Minister of Sports, John King, had recently, regarding the same closure of the track and the relocation of school sports for some schools. The Mondo track at the National Stadium was laid in 2013 and Fingall said that representatives from the company are coming in to do remedial work on the track. “They have sent in the equipment and tools that are necessary and we got that cleared. We knew it was coming, but because of how things can be with Customs in terms of clearing stuff, we didn’t want to do anything until we got it cleared.” Now that the equipment and tools have been cleared, Fingall said that everything seems to be in place and the Mondo representatives have strict orders in terms of what the NSC needs and they have met all of those things. The Mondo team is expected to arrive tomorrow, Friday, and the stadium will have to be closed while they work. They have said it will take seven days and then some time for it to cure. “So I would say in ten days we will be ready to roll again,” said Fingall, who also mentioned they have alerted the Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, Cleviston Haynes, in a press conference at the Bank yesterday to give a review schools that had been booked during of Barbados’ economic performance for 2019.

  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Biographies of Leading DHS Cricketers Jack Siedle
    Biographies of leading DHS cricketers Jack Siedle Ivan Julian "Jack" Siedle (11 January 1903 – 24 August 1982) was a South African cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1927–28 to 1935–36. Family background and personal life Born on 11 January 1903 in Berea, Durban, Natal, Siedle was the youngest son of Otto Siedle, who was born in Woolwich, London of southern German stock and who trained as a watchmaker, subsequently emigrating to Durban where he became prominent in the shipping business and public affairs. Otto Siedle's wife Mary became deputy mayor of Durban. Jack's older brother Karl Siedle played first-class cricket for Natal before the First World War, in which he was killed; his sister Perla Siedle Gibson became a well-known singer and a symbol of her country during the Second World War. Siedle married Lesley Maud McPherson on 14 March 1931, with his cricket colleague Eric Dalton as best man. Their son, John Siedle (1932–2008), played a few first-class cricket matches for Natal and Western Province in the mid- 1950s. Early cricket career A right-hander who played for Natal for 15 seasons from 1922–23 to 1936–37, Jack Siedle bowled occasionally and kept wicket just as infrequently, but his chief value to South Africa was as an opening batsman. He had had no great success when he was picked, in the 1923–24 season, for the match that was the trial for the 1924 tour to England and the 56 he scored in his second innings there was his highest score to that point, as well as the top score for his side, but he was not picked for the tour.
