  • NEWSLETTER No. 265 - SEPTEMBER 2006
    NEWSLETTER No. 265 - SEPTEMBER 2006 27 September 2006 – Meeting In time honoured fashion, the Society extends a very warm welcome to the Hampshire Beneficiary at their September meeting. TONY MIDDLETON has been with the County for some 20 years, first as a player and then in various coaching roles. He is now the County’s Academy Director. His well produced Benefit Brochure gives an informed account of his career and his contribution to Hampshire cricket since his retirement as a player. The publication gives a reminder that he is Hampshire-born, in Winchester on 1 February 1964, and that he progressed through the Hampshire schools and colts system, before making his debut in 1984. However, it was not until Chris Smith’s sudden departure in 1991, that he forged a regular first-team place. Such was the strength of Hampshire’s batting at the time – perhaps the best in their history – that in the previous year, he scored a century on four occasions, as well as a 90, only to be left out when one of Hampshire’s stellar cast returned to the side. He did, though, record a thousand runs. However, Tony Middleton cemented his place by dampening the fires of Waqar Younis in the Nat. West Trophy triumph at Lord’s with a well constructed 75, keeping Hampshire in touch with the run rate as they chased Surrey’s total. In the following year, in bowler-friendly conditions in the Benson and Hedges Final, he and Paul Terry stole runs from under the noses of Kent’s fielders to establish a momentum which was then enhanced by the later stroke players.

Yet, as Brubaker (2005: 10) notes, ‘Sophisticated discussions are sensitive to the heterogeneity of diaspora; but they are not always sensitive to the heterogeneity of nation- states.’ Consequently, this chapter examines both the role of cricket in changing conceptions of Englishness in contemporary times, and the multifaceted nature of those who identify with this nation. Sport, of course, does not exist in a vacuum and the ways in which English people more generally express their identity appear to have undergone rapid and overt change in recent years. Indeed feelings of English national identity were perhaps stronger at the end of the twentieth century than they had ever previously been (Kumar 2003a).
