Scoresheet NEWSLETTER of the AUSTRALIAN CRICKET SOCIETY INC scoresheet NEWSLETTER OF THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET SOCIETY INC. www.australiancricketsociety.com.au Volume 41 / Number 3 / WINTER 2020 Patron: Ricky Ponting AO ONE IN A MILLION e all remember Mike Rose with love and affection. His passing has affected so many – especially everyone at the Australian Cricket Society Wwhere he has been such a good friend to so many for years. Mike attended all our functions, was a friend to everyone and at events, ‘doubled’ as our merchandising officer. Approaching one annual dinner, featuring our patron Ricky Ponting, I asked him to run our table of goodies and gave him a sheet of paper outlining what was there, the ties, the CDs, back issues of Pavilion – and their prices. Telling me the type was too small, Mike – ever ingenuous – borrowed a whiteboard and a marker and soon had arrows going in crazy directions everywhere, a little like a family tree, except not as neat. He might have had a drink this night, too. ‘How did the sales go Mike?’ I asked afterwards. ‘Didn’t sell a #@%ing razoo Master.’ Afterwards Mike was meandering out into the foyer (he was the non-driver that night) and looked back to see Maree, the love of his life, calmly walking out with none other than Ricky, the guest of honour and the best since Bradman WITH ONE OF HIS ‘@#$%, Maree... do ya know oo you’re with? HEROES: Mike and Jimmy Stynes ‘Hey mate,‘ he said to Ricky. ‘That gorgeous girl there... she’s wid me!’ CRICKET UMPIRE: Mike Turning to Maree, Ricky asked: ‘Do you know that fella?’ during his first XI debut ‘Never seen him before in my life.’ match last November Mike loved the Dees and had followed them up to Darwin for a game. Post- match he went off to get some drinks and Jimmy Stynes, the-then MFC president was looking for a vacant seat and asked Maree if he may sit down. ‘Sure,’ she said. Mike returned with some cold ones, saw Jimmy and almost dropped the tray. ‘@#$%, Maree, do ya know who you’re sittin’ with? Mike loved footy and music almost as much as the cricket. He umpired many of our games, including a match in mid-March in Echuca, just weeks before his passing. He achieved one of his ambitions in 2019 when umpiring his first-ever Premier Firsts fixture in November. His considerable ‘CV’ included 161 games, through all the grades at Cricket Victoria. Well played Mike, you were one in a million mate. – KP • Mike William Rose died on April 20, he was 67. There will be a celebration of his life at the Melbourne Bowls Club at a date to be announced. We wish all our ACS members, families & friends all the very best in these very trying times. May we all meet again soon.

The Queen’s Speech had just been delivered and I was thinking about the contributions of all the Royals, especially Queen Elizabeth and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh and what a fine life he too had led. The Duke was quite a cricketer and a regular at grounds like Arundel Castle in the ‘50s. He’d often lead his Duke of Edinburgh’s XI in 50-over friendlies, bat in the first five and bowl some offies in mid-innings. It was while reading about the Duke and the games he’d played and sponsored at Arundel – so often the launching point for Australian tours – that I came across this little gem, which I simply had to share. It’s from the little-known Cricket at the Castle by Sir Michael Marshall, published in 1995. It was April 1964 and the Queen Mother was presented to both the visiting Aussies and the Duke of Norfolk’s XI, which was a virtual Test team in itself. Bob Gray, a fine, underrated cricket writer from The Australian began his piece about the Queen Mum and her delightful manner as a prelude to his match report: ‘(Neil) Hawke distinguished himself by becoming the first bowler ever at Arundel – and probably anywhere else – to take the first CRICKET LOVER: HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, a regular three wickets of the innings while seated at Arundel in the ‘50s. in a deck chair,’ he said. ‘The man on the CRICKET AT THE CASTLE: 100 Years of Cricket at loudspeaker was in error and it was really Arundel Castle, Sir Michael Marshall, $25 including (Grahame) Corling bowling from the far end.’ post from cricketbooks.com.au 2 / scoresheet Volume 41 / Number 3 / WINTER 2020 3 The President’s Piesse HIDDEN GEMS II: The Albert Ground 1966.

As he tucked his pads under his arm and picked up his bat, the rest of the players were already making their way to the change room at the back of the ivy-covered Members Stand. The Sheffield Shield season was beginning that week in Brisbane. Queensland would play New South Wales. Like a slow thaw following winter, cricket’s arrival heralded the approach of summer. Chappell felt compelled to make some sort of speech on the eve of the season. Despite his prowess with words he wasn’t much for the ‘rah rah’ stuff. He believed bowlers bowled and batsmen batted. If they needed motivation from speeches then there might be something wrong. When he spoke it was direct and honest which is why his mind was being tugged in two directions: what 20170814_3204 Chappells last stand_TXT.indd 1 15/8/17 10:42 am he wanted to say to the team that might set the tone for the year, and what he really thought of their chances.

  • Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12Th 'B' Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher
    ON Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12th ‘B’ Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher – Rajender Sir http://www.facebook.com/nitinkumarnik Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School No. 3 INTRODUCTION Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
