    After the War Another Win Followed

    CHAPTER 3 Carlton were in a good position against Fitzroy when rain halted proceedings. Carlton closed at 3/202, with O’Keeffe scoring 96 not out, Stan Hastings 37 and Sutherland 35. Fitzroy had lost 1/32 when rain stopped play. After the War Another win followed. Carlton scored 173 and 1/47, with Stan Hastings making 70 not out, and they dismissed Northcote for 126, with Syd Hastings taking 4/10 and Truman 3/41. Enthusiasm for the game in 1919-20 was sparked off by the return of the Australian A.I.F. But the next game saw Collingwood on top. They made 156 and 7/147, Syd Hastings team, in which Carl Willis and Allie Lampard were Victorian representatives. But there was taking 6/37. Carlton lost 5/39 and their innings ended for 80, Sutherland being top scorer with regret at the Club at the death of Billy Dedman (whose father was one of the founders) and 28. Charley Bowes. Bill Stewart, Lyle Downes and Horrie Clover were chosen as Club Represen- tatives in teams sent to the country. All three became famous as footballers. Although not as Despite this failure Carlton reached the semi-finals, when Collingwood were again the successful as formerly, the first eleven had six wins and five losses. Lyle Downes had a great opposition, but it proved to be a debacle. Collingwood lost 2/268 on the first day, and went on season, with scores of 109 not out, 67 and 73. Stewart made 99 not out and 50, Clover 85 not to make a colossal score of 591.

    Australia V. West Indies Boxing Day Test

    AUSTRALIA V. WEST INDIES DECEMBER 28, 2015 BOXING DAY TEST FACT SHEET - DAY 3 LIBRARY Beginning with the inaugural Test match in March 1877, 107 Tests have been staged at the MCG. One Test, in 1970/71, was abandoned without a ball bowled and is not counted in the records. Fourteen of the matches have involved West Indies, Australia winning 10 of those contests, West Indies three, with the other drawn. The other sides to play Tests at the MCG are England (55), India (12), South Africa (12), Pakistan (9), New Zealand (3) and Sri Lanka (2). Only Lord's Cricket Ground (130) has hosted more Test matches than the MCG. As Lord's currently has two Test matches per summer (it hosted three in 2010), it will extend its lead as the MCG has not hosted two Test matches in the same season since 1981/82. Of the 114 Tests between Australia and West Indies to date, Australia has won 57, West Indies 32, one has been tied and the remaining 24 drawn. The current Test is Australia's 785th and West Indies’ 512th. Of its 784 Tests to date, Australia has won 369 (47.06 per cent), lost 208 (26.53 per cent) and tied two. The remaining 205 have been drawn. The fact sheets for today's game will review the inaugural five-Test series between the two countries, the first match beginning at Adelaide Oval on 18 December 1930, 85 years ago, almost to the day. A summary of each match will appear during the course of this game.

    MURRAY HEDGCOCK Murray Hedgcock (Pronounced Hedge-Coe

    MURRAY HEDGCOCK Murray Hedgcock (pronounced Hedge-coe) is a day older than Brian Close - whatever that proves – and was born in South Melbourne, whose cricket club has fielded a string of famous players, from Jack Blackham, Warwick Armstrong, Bill Woodfull and Clarrie Grimmett, to Ian Johnson, Lindsay Hassett and Ian Redpath. He grew up in Victorian country towns, worked briefly in a bank on leaving school, and then became a journalist. He came to London in 1953 in hope of seeing Hassett’s team in action, but the cash ran out: he had just twenty-five shillings left when he got a job on the Crystal Palace Advertiser. A bonus was a Press pass to The Oval, which he used as often as possible. Back in Australia, he joined Rupert Murdoch’s News Limited in Adelaide in 1960, was posted to the group’s London bureau in 1966, and was bureau chief from 1976 to early retirement in 1991. He wrote periodically on cricket for the national daily, The Australian, and contributed to cricket publications, including Wisden and The Cricketer. Settling in London on retirement in 1991, he continues to work as a consultant for the Murdoch group. In 1997 he edited a study of P.G.Wodehouse’s love of cricket - Wodehouse at the Wicket – long out of print, but published again this year in paperback. An MCC member for forty years, despite long residence in London, and holding UK as well as Australian nationality, he remains a loyal Australian, and barracks for his native land in every Ashes series.

    St. George’s School Windsor Castle Association CHRONICLE 2018 Welcome to another edition of the Chronicle. You may well be reading this on the school’s website: this allows us to manage our carbon footprint and direct more of the society’s funds to School ventures. We hope that in the future we will be able to populate the Association section of the website with more and more items from and for the archive. Do please get in touch with copies of any photographs or memorabilia from your time at the school, particularly if you were a pupil of the school before 1996. The Chronicle serves two important functions: first, it acts as a document of record that publicizes the rules of the Association and minutes of its AGM; secondly, it aims to keep members in touch one with another. It is in this second area that it is entirely dependent on its members: the more that is contributed the more valuable it will become to its members. Please do send your news either by the tradition method of postcards or on e-mail to [email protected] . If you know of any news about another former pupil do please let us know; we positively encourage parents to sneak on their children! Obituaries I have first to announce the obituaries and notifications that I have received.

    2012 150Th Celebrations “The Winds of Change” – CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS 1962 –

    150th Anniversary Edition 1 862 – 2012 the Cliftonmagazine For Cliftonians, past and present 2012 Special features: 150th Celebrations avid Jones, outgoing OC President, rightly observes that in the last Contents edition of The Clifton Magazine no mention was made of the generous Dloan that the OC Society made available to the College so that it could Editorial 1 buy out Clerical Medical and build a platform for the future development 150th Celebrations 2 and success of the Sports Ground at Beggar’s Bush. This was another example of how the College has benefited from OC support over the past The Cliftonian 31 hundred years or so. The free CD that accompanies this year’s celebration Salvete/Valete 32 edition of the magazine is once again the result of OC Society generosity and grateful thanks go to the Society, and the Chairman of the OC Executive Commem 36 Committee, Nick Tolchard, for making this all possible. Art 39 In 1962, Clifton marked its Centenary with a huge concert in the Colston Hall, bringing out an LP of the event; in 1987, to mark 125 years, the Choir Chapel Notes 42 produced a CD. The latter is once again featured this year and the Directors Music 44 of Music in both schools, James Hills and David Pafford, are to be thanked and congratulated for producing such a fine record of Clifton choral music – Literary / Activities 47 Arthur Peppin and Douglas Fox would have approved! CCF 53 Remembrance Sunday is well served with the Pre’s version of Parry’s Drama 59 I was Glad (1) and the Upper School’s Libera Me (2) from Fauré’s Requiem, both choirs coming together to sing I Vow to Thee (10).

    Day 4 Fact Sheet

    AUSTRALIA V. WEST INDIES DECEMBER 29, 2015 BOXING DAY TEST FACT SHEET - DAY 4 LIBRARY Beginning with the inaugural Test match in March 1877, 107 Tests have been staged at the MCG. One Test, in 1970/71, was abandoned without a ball bowled and is not counted in the records. Fourteen of the matches have involved West Indies, Australia winning 10 of those contests, West Indies three, with the other drawn. The other sides to play Tests at the MCG are England (55), India (12), South Africa (12), Pakistan (9), New Zealand (3) and Sri Lanka (2). Only Lord's Cricket Ground (130) has hosted more Test matches than the MCG. As Lord's currently has two Test matches per summer (it hosted three in 2010), it will extend its lead as the MCG has not hosted two Test matches in the same season since 1981/82. Of the 114 Tests between Australia and West Indies to date, Australia has won 56, West Indies 32, one has been tied and the remaining 24 drawn. The current Test is Australia's 785th and West Indies’ 512th. Of its 784 Tests to date, Australia has won 362 (46.95 per cent), lost 205 (26.59 per cent) and tied two. The remaining 202 have been drawn. The fact sheets for today's game will review the inaugural five-Test series between the two countries, the first match beginning at Adelaide Oval on 18 December 1930, 85 years ago, almost to the day. A summary of each match will appear during the course of this game.
