  • 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.

EUDINE BARRITEAU Final Report of the Review Panel on the Governance of Cricket October 2015 __________________________________________________________________________________ A. Overview This final Report of the CARICOM Cricket Review Panel is the outcome of three months of consultation, interviews, deliberations, and meetings by a five member panel of CARICOM citizens appointed by the Prime Ministerial Committee on the Governance of West Indies Cricket. The composition of the panel, its terms of reference and the list of interviewees are presented in Appendices I - III. The main mandate of the Panel was to review the administrative and governance structure of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and submit its recommendation through the CARICOM Secretary-General to the Chairman of the Cricket Governance Committee, Dr. the Right Honourable Keith Mitchell, Prime Minister of Grenada. This is the Panel’s submission. B. Introduction: The Existing Governance Structure Caribbean societies and the West Indies game of cricket have changed drastically since the origins of the latter in its organized, competitive form in the British colonial Caribbean, in the mid to late nineteenth century. In the twenty-first century, the game of cricket is now embedded in the global, corporate world of business. Caribbean people continue to experience excitement or despair about what happens on every field of play, to agonize about the fortunes, successes, failures or foibles of the West Indies teams; but Caribbean cricket is far more than the public’s support and consumption of West Indies cricket.

    14 Established 1961 Sports Wednesday, July 22, 2020 Photo of the day Toronto Wolfpack withdraw from 2020 Super League LONDON: Toronto Wolfpack announced on Monday they were withdrawing from Super League for the rest of the 2020 season due to financial problems. The Canadian side have been playing in English rugby league’s top flight for the first time after winning promotion from the Championship. Just hours after the Toronto announcement, Super League chiefs revealed there would be no relegation from the top-flight in the 2020 campaign. “There will be no relegation from the 11-team Betfred Super League in 2020, for reasons of integrity, player welfare and also to protect the solvency of clubs,” an RFL statement said. “The Betfred Championship and League 1 seasons will not resume in 2020. “These clubs will be invited to play in a competition this autumn, with a theme of celebrating the sport’s 125th anniversary - and with a prize pot of £250,000, thanks in part to financial support from the Betfred Super League clubs. “There will be no automatic promotion to the Betfred Super League from this competition.” Wolfpack, who have dual-code star Sonny Bill Williams in their squad, had been due to resume the season against Hull Kingston Rovers on August 2 and their move drew a strongly word- ed joint statement from Super League and the Rugby Football League. The league’s only transatlantic club cited “overwhelming financial challenges” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic for the decision to temporarily withdraw from the competition. “Toronto Wolfpack can confirm that the club has informed both Super League Europe (SLE) and the Rugby Football League (RFL) that the team will not be restarting the campaign as scheduled on August 2nd,” the club said in a statement.

The CWI are immensely proud that one of our number should be recognised thus and doubly so that Robin filled the role with such dignity and commitment. It turned out to be both a tremendously successful year on the pitch and a historic one off it, and we are fortunate that a man with a trained eye and stylish pen was there to witness it all — and share it with us.
