County Cricket: Sundry Extras COUNTY CRICKET: SUNDRY EXTRAS David Jeater Many cricketers who have made a small contribution to the outcomes of County Championship cricket have special achievements to their names in other fields. Often, of course, they have had other, more worthwhile things to do with their lives. Perhaps we can think of them as the ‘Sundry Extras’ of county cricket. D.J. 31 March 2017 County Cricket: Sundry Extras, by David Jeater. Published by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians 1 The list below seeks to recognise the achievements of more than a thousand such cricketers in many areas of public life including fields administrative, commercial, cultural, judicial, military, political, professional and sporting. It covers cricketers with United Kingdom residency who played in fewer than 100 matches in the ‘official’ County Championship between the start of the 1890 season and the end of the 2016 season, who no longer play high-level cricket, and who fall into one or more of the categories listed in the paragraph below. They have: [a] played for England in a Test match; [b] been identified as cricketer of the year by Wisden, or as a young cricketer of the season by the Cricket Writers’ Club; [c] been appointed a county captain in the Championship for more than one season; [d] an exceptional individual achievement to their name in Championship cricket; [e] held an important administrative position at national level in cricket; [f] played at national or international level in another sport; [g] umpired in 100 or more Championship matches; [h] other achievements in the public eye, including UK civilian or military honours; [i] been a director of a well-known business; [j] died while on active service. The details provided for each player derive from a wide range of sources and comprise, where appropriate: [1] surname, forenames and well-used nicknames; [2] date and place of birth; [3] secondary schools and higher education institutions attended; [4] details of UK residence; [5] playing methods, as batsman, bowler and fielder; [6] details of counties represented in the Championship, seasons played, and playing status; [7] career record in the Championship, comprising matches played, runs scored and average, wickets taken and average, catches and stumpings made; [8] highest Championship score; [9] best innings bowling return in the Championship; [10] other cricket achievements, including Test appearances and Championship matches umpired; [11] major cricket or sports awards received; [12] close relatives who played Championship cricket; [13] achievements at national or international level in other sports; [14] other achievements in the public eye, including civilian and military honours; [15] an apposite comment or quotation; [16] date and place of death. Further details about the entries can be seen in a note at the end of the list on page 130. The list is an attempt at a comprehensive register of those meeting the qualifications set out above. The author would welcome additions to the list, and information leading to corrections to the existing entries, at [email protected]. He hopes that the list informs and entertains.

  • Below Are Details of the Boys' 1 XI Cricket 1938 to 1969. Complete
    Below are details of the Boys’ 1st XI Cricket 1938 to 1969. Complete teams’ names are available from 1949 onwards. Information regarding early photographs in this section is somewhat sketchy. As with the other sports featured in this archive, the number preceding the pupil name is the school registration number of that particular pupil. If the number does not appear then that is either because there is no surviving school report in school detailing that pupil’s activities or the activity is not recorded on their report. The only other information we have therefore is from the school magazine, Roesian. Words in italics are drawn directly from Roesian.

We had a team composed mostly of hard hitters with a few cautious batsmen to steady them in a crisis. The matches were, therefore, all the more exciting and there were few drawn games. While the younger members of the team were inclined to be rather venturous, their enthusiasm augurs well for our success in the coming season.’ ‘The Old Boys’ played the School 1st XI at cricket on 23rd June 1938.

  • 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.

I have lived to the age of seventy-one (hence the title of this work), and until some six months ago the writing of my reminiscences never occurred to me. Indeed had it not been for the fact of my meeting with an old friend—almost accidentally the ensuing pages would never have been written. Like most cricketers, I have unfortunately kept comparatively few records of my long career. Luckily I am possessed of an excellent memory, and with this and the aid of many an old volume kindly lent to me by various gentlemen I have been able to complete my somewhat difficult task. I have given a short sketch of the state of the national game at the time of my birth; how I learnt both batting and bowling when a boy ; have described my connection with Clarke’s old All England Eleven, and afterwards with the United; Vlii PREFACE. my visit with the first team to America in 1859; with Stephenson’s team to Australia in 1861, and with Parr’s more famous one in 1863; have given an account of my seven years’ residence in the Antipodes, and the close of my career after my return to England in 1871.
