Dave’s iconic photo of Newclose in May Newclose member 2019 (at the top of this page) featured in a two-page spread in The Cricketer magazine last July. Adrian Brewer’s charitable efforts in Newclose Cricket Club prospers thanks to contributions like this – and we’ll feature more of our the Ivory Coast unsung heroes in the coming months. 1 Who would have thought that, by 2020, no less than 31 Test Match cricketers would have played at Newclose County Cricket Ground? Stars such as Stuart Broad, Fidel Edwards, Ryan Harris, Ajinkya Rahane and Mohammed Yousef - to choose five from different parts of the cricketing world. Our benefactor, the late Brian Gardener, would have dearly loved to see all these in action. All 31 are listed on these two pages and, in the coming months, we’ll add the International Ladies, the ODI and T20 players who have appeared on our magnificent ground. The England Test Match players (17 of them) are: Tim Ambrose Jake Ball Stuart Broad Mason Crane Liam Dawson James Vince James Foster Phillip DeFreitas Ben Duckett John Emburey James Foster Jason Gallian Stuart Broad Ed Giddens Ben Duckett Graeme Hick Devon Malcolm Matthew Maynard Boyd Rankin Shaun Udal James Vince Jake Ball More details are at: www.newclose.org/cricket John Emburey Liam Dawson Devon Malcolm 2 Not surprisingly the England Test Match cricketers outnumber the ‘Overseas’ players – but not by very much: 17 to 14. Of the countries represented by these 14, Australia heads the list – including these four members of the 2015 Ashes squad. © IW County Press Mitchell Peter Chris Ryan Marsh Nevill Rogers Harris Travis Head Ajinkya Rahane Excluding the photograph at the top of this page (of the four Australians), all the others are the work of Newclose Cricket Club member, Dave Reynolds, and his copyright to them is hereby acknowledged.

Wednesday 8th July sees the First Test between England and the West Indies at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton. No news yet on our 9th August fixture – but it is not looking good. As far as all other organised cricket is concerned, amateur or professional, we await the outcome of discussions between the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Government. SINCE THE JUNE NEWSLETTER WAS PUBLISHED, A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH NEWCLOSE CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY SUPPORTING GOOD CAUSES - AT HOME AND ABROAD Tania Price has been a terrific support to Newclose in recent years. Before lockdown she helped her mother Nikki Price, Newclose’s General Manager, with hospitality events as well as advertising the ground as a venue for functions. In more recent times she has been an important volunteer, updating the Newclose website and adding the details of Newclose News to the site each month. TANIA RECENTLY SPENT 12 HOURS IN THE NEWCLOSE PAVILION HULA-HOOPING TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LOCAL CHARITIES “I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all the support everyone has given me for my 12-hour hula-hoop challenge! I'm pleased to say I completed it and recovered quickly! It raised a total of £1,720 which was donated to the Isle of Wight NHS and the Mountbatten Hospice which is amazing and much more than my original target! There is still time to donate at: https://givepenny.com/taniaprice_challenge100_100_target But thank you once again to everyone for your generous donations and support; I couldn't have done it without you all”. In late May Andy Butler set up a net on the Newclose square and Jayden Frankling has been organising group nets for members of the Isle of Wight Cricket Board’s Disability squad every Saturday. The photo (below, left) shows Jayden practising with one of the squad’s coaches, Neil Westhorpe. Everyone at Newclose hopes that, come August, the Disability squad will be able to play a competitive match at the ground. This is very important given the Newclose Charity’s objectives include the words: “provision for the playing of cricket by disabled persons”. Adrian Brewer is a Newclose Cricket Club member who runs an Island-based charity dedicated to helping parts of the world affected by poverty, famine and the lack of clean water. As we go to press, he has a loaded container about to be shipped to the Ivory Coast in West Africa with a range of goods to make people’s lives better. Those items include a considerable amount of cricket equipment which was stored in the Newclose pavilion and which was surplus to the needs of the Isle of Wight Cricket Board. Along with hockey and badminton kit, it will mean that the youngsters in Bouaflé in the Ivory Coast will have the chance to play sports other than soccer, which is their dominant sporting activity.

The Australians amassed a massive 303-run innings lead in blistering heat and then reduced the battle-weary tourists to 93 for four at the close with a day to play. Compounding England’s woes was a finger injury for skipper Joe Root, his team’s last major hope of staving off a 4-0 series rout today’s final day of the Test. Root was unbeaten on 42 at the close with Jonny Bairstow not out 17.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

  • 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.
