    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 315 - FEBRUARY 2012 MEETINGS Wednesday 8 February 2012 – Meeting The Society welcomes Amol Rajan to this evening’s meeting.

He studied English at Downing College, Cambridge, where he joined a distinguished list of editors of Varsity, the student newspaper. He joined The Independent as a news reporter in 2007, and was subsequently Sports News Correspondent, before eventually progressing to Deputy Comment Editor. He now works as an adviser to Evgeny Lebedev, owner of The Independent titles and the London Evening Standard. His week includes writing on cricket, politics and restaurants. He is a trustee of Prospex, a charity for young people in Islington. He is probably best known in the cricket world as the author of Twirleymen – The Unlikely History of Cricket’s Greatest Spin Bowlers. Wednesday 11 January 2012 – Report The good-sized audience who attended the January meeting enjoyed an informative and enlightening discourse on the life of a Premier League referee and first-class umpire in the company of Martin Bodenham. He started with his football career at the top level, which extended over twenty years and 800 matches. He is still involved in the sport. A level 3 coach, he looks after a group of referees who officiate semi-professional matches. He is also a member of the Key Match Incident (KMI) panel (KMIs being 2nd yellow cards and penalties or not) for all matches from the Conference to the Premier League.
