Surmise that he once played cricket for England. That might give you some idea of the grandeur of Sir Charles Aubrey Smith, knighted in 1944, having “played every part except Princess Flavia” in “The Prisoner of Zenda.” Had he not pre-dated Henry Grierson, Sir Aubrey, the most famous Engish actor in Hollywood, would have been an obvious choice as President of the Forty Club. I was reminded of his unique career last year when circumstances forced One hundred years ago the first Triangular Test tournament between me to spend a lot of time watching television. I was hooked one day England, South Africa and Australia was played in England in weather by the film of A.E.W. Mason’s classic tale of military courage, “The Four worse than of 2012. England won the series and was a spectator and Feathers.” The sometime England captain played the part of General financial failure. Well, 2012 was pretty awful as regards weather and we Burroughs with relish and absolutely no subtlety! No doubt there was had to cancel 45% of our fixtures. However, the Club is in a healthy state more guile in his bowling - because of his circular run up he was known as as can be seen elsewhere in this Handbook which covers the games ‘round the corner’ Smith - and he was certainly a brave batsman. played in the UK and abroad, where we won the Triangular tournament against the Danes and the Dutch in La Manga. Also the Golf Society is an Charles Aubrey Smith captained Sussex, Shaw and Shrewsbury’s England expanding and integral part of the Club with 366 members. team to Australia in 1887/8 and the first England team to play Tests in South Africa. It was in retirement as the Grand Old Man amongst the We are very keen to recruit more young playing members and, as you may large population of British actors in Hollywood that he made his greatest know, we have dropped our age qualification to 35 (and even younger in contribution to cricket. He was the leading light of the Hollywood Cricket special cases). If you know any likely candidates, please let the Secretary Club and David Rayvern Allen’s biography, “Sir Aubrey,” handsomely know. We have a lot of fixtures and we need a lot of players. In the AGM republished by the bookseller J.W. McKenzie in 2005, offers vivid evidence in November we saw the retirement of Barrie Hunter as Chairman. He of the manner in which his grand and kindly leadership revived the club. has made an outstanding contribution to the Club. As those of you who sit on committees will know, they and the organisations they serve are not always free from politics and minor squabbles. The Forty Club is no exception and it is largely due to the ability of Barrie to overcome these in a friendly but firm fashion that the Club continues to function in the way it does. However, no one man makes up a club and it is only through the huge contributions made by our Secretary Barry Aitken, the Executive Committee and all those involved with the matches (not forgetting Brian Scovell who puts this Handbook together) that we are able to maintain our reputation and standing as a major cricket club. We now have 2,371 members but we only have emails for 1230 of these. I know we are all getting older but I cannot believe that 50% of our members do not have an email address. It helps us enormously to have an email for our members so please send yours, if you haven’t already done so, to [email protected]. I hope you enjoy the Handbook and let’s hope for a hot cricketing summer in 2013. From our Editor: We are reliably informed that a majority of Charles Fry writes: "Aubrey Smith is in the centre with the stick, our 1,300 members who are said not to be on online ARE online. with Errol Flynn on his right.

Providing good practice, assessing risk and ensuring a safe cricket environment are key aspects of coaching and it is vital that players are provided with a developmental, safe and fun experience. These guidelines are published by the ECB to promote appropriate best practice, standards and safety both indoors and outdoors in practice and matches at all levels of the game. It is appreciated that even if the guidelines are followed exhaustively, this will not prevent all injuries. Cricket is an intrinsically dangerous game and the elimination of all risk is not possible. Accidents will always happen. Participants in the game accept the risk individually and/or through their parents if minors.

  • Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket
    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below. Date Opponents Venue In Out Minutes Score Jun 1992 Pakistan Lord’s 40-1 73-2 58 12 Jan 1993 India Calcutta 87-5 163 AO 183 28 Mar 1994 West Indies Georgetown 253-5 281-7 86 8 Mar 1994 West Indies Trinidad 26-5 27-6 6 0 Jul 1994 South Africa Lord’s 136-6 59 6* Aug 1996 Pakistan Oval 273-6 283-7 27 5 Jul 1998 South Africa Nottingham 199-4 244-5 102 23 Aug 1998 South Africa Leeds 200-4 206-5 21 4 Nov 2000 Pakistan Lahore 391-6 468-8 148 31 Nov 2000 Pakistan Faisalabad 105-2 203-4 209 33 Ian Salisbury’s NWM Appearances in Test matches Salisbury had only one failure as a Test match nightwatchman; joining his fellow rabbits in Curtly Ambrose’s headlights in the rout for 46 in Trinidad.

  • 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.

The commercial areas are doing OK but it has got tougher, there is obviously an element in business of people holding back a little until they find out more about what is going to happen and how the economy is going to run, are interest rates going to change etc. That is very important to us as an awful lot of money that is spent here is personal money and with savings rates not being what we would like them to be that is not helping. Overall we are in decent shape. We had the most phenomenal function in The Point on Saturday night for a leading family in the area, an 80th birthday party and the cabaret was Kylie Minogue and Ronan Keating. The event went absolutely brilliantly. It’s the largest private function since The Point opened. Manchester United are with us again this season so those numbers are up again. As far as cricket is concerned (not here but the way cricket is going) I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions the concern that everybody has with Test Match attendances. The Pakistan Test Match here turned out to be very good but it was a hard sell. Correspondingly the T20 that is coming up next week has had phenomenal attraction and is a sell out and should be a very good game.

  • Review Mike Marqusee, Anyone but England, Cricket and The
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. REVIEW Mike Marqusee, Anyone But England, Cricket and the National Malaise, Verso, London, 1994 Vishnu Padayachee Regular readers of Transformation may wonder why the editorial collective agreed to the publication of a review of a book on English cricket. Some explanation may therefore be in order. We have over the years carried virtually nothing about the appropriation of sport in the larger process of South Africa's social and political transition, a subject which would be entirely consistent with the journal's editorial focus and policy. Gerry Mare's review of Albert Grundlingh et al's "Beyond the Tryline: Rugby and South African Society' {Transformation 27, 1995), is an exception. But this 'silence' on the subject of sport and politics still does not explain why we are reviewing a book on English cricket, by a 'deracinated Marxist of American Jewish (pi 1)' extraction. There are at least two answers to this. The first relates to Marqusee's overall project, that of trying to understand the relationship between cricket and society in England, especially in a period in which the game has been undergoing far-reaching transformation. The issues he raises and the conclusions he reaches in this regard are very relevant to recent South African experience, into which can be added the further complexities of cricket transformation in a era of rapid political and societal change.
