About SS Bajwa Memorial Message Y DREAM TURNED INTO REALITY when we started 1st SS Bajwa Memorial MGolf Tournament in the year 2006 in the fond memory of my uncle Late SS BAJWA. We, Kang Brothers, owe him our life as we were taught all virtues of life. It is all because of our uncle that we could withstand all odds to be successful in the United States of America way back in nineties. And by God’s grace we are withstanding all odds in the trucking industry and progressing year after year, what could be reason other than the values our uncle inoculated in us, and of course his blessings. Late SS Bajwa was a keen sportsman and played Cricket at state level. Befitting our uncle, the Memorial GolfT ournament was the best proposition, and here we are in the 3rd SS Bajwa Memorial Golf Tournament to be held on 12th July 2008 at Industry Hills Golf Club, City of Industry.

  • Clive Hubert Lloyd 69Th Birthday
    Belated Happy Birthday To Clive Hubert Lloyd By Dmitri Allicock Born August 31, 1944, Queenstown, Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana now Guyana, was a former Guyana and West Indies cricketer. In 1971 he was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year. He captained the West Indies between 1974 and 1985 and oversaw their rise to become the dominant Test-playing nation, a position that was only relinquished in the latter half of the 1990s. He is one of the most successful Test captains of all time with a record of 74 test captaincy and 36 wins. During his captaincy the side had a run of 27 matches without defeat, which included 11 wins in succession Viv Richards acted as captain for one of the 27 matches, against Australia at Port of Spain in 1983–84). He was the first West Indian player to earn 100 international caps. Lloyd captained the West Indies in three World Cups, winning the 1975 with Lloyd scoring a century in the finals while losing the 1983 final to India. Lloyd was a tall, powerful middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler. In his youth he was also a strong cover point fielder. He wore his famous thick trademark glasses as a result of being poked in the eye with a ruler which occurred at 12 as he attempted to break up a fight at school. At 6'5" with stooped shoulders, a large well manicured moustache Clive Lloyd was the crucial ingredient in the rise of West Indian cricket. A cousin of Lance Gibbs, he was a hard hitting batsman and one of the most successful captains in history.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Viv Simply the Best by Stephen Richards Why Everybody Wanted to Be ‘King of Cool’ Viv Richards
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Viv Simply The Best by Stephen Richards Why everybody wanted to be ‘King of Cool’ Viv Richards. For the West Indian great, little seemed to faze him. He’d hook a bouncer off the nose on his helmetless head so easily bowlers would wish they’d never got out of bed. He’d chew his gum, adjust the chain around his neck and settle his broad shoulders over his hefty bat before looking past the umpire at the next fool to try his luck. If I’m honest, Viv was my man crush. Watching him swagger, chew and never flinch was genuine cricket porn. I imagined him at a bar, resting on his elbow, a rum punch in one hand as a crowd of beauties were swatted away as if they were Derek Pringle half volleys. The bloke, I imagined, could pull at will – again, ask a Pringle long hop. I’m not the only lad that gazed in awe at a man that should have been the enemy. As a young English kid, hoping my team would win, Richards ensured they didn’t. But he was the man I pretended to be when I stood in front of a mirror and made clicking noises as the hapless Pringle was sent to all corners of the bedroom. In school matches there was little point trying to emulate the coolest of Caribbean cricketers. A skinny little white kid with an upturned collar and buttons undone to his navel would have been a laughing stock. You can’t be calypso cool if you desperately want to fit in.

  • The Detachment of West Indies Cricket from the Nationalist Scaffold
    11 HILARY MCD. BECKLES The detachment of West Indies cricket from the nationalist scaffold West Indian people have made their greatest single cultural investment in cricket. This commitment of effort and emotion profoundly shaped the mindscape of citizens, and led to the allocation of scarce fi nancial resources that enabled physical infrastructures to dominate the landscape of each territory. As a deeply rooted historical process it has had several implications for critical aspects of anti-colonialism and the nation- building project. 1 While the enormity of this enterprise is generally grasped, there are import- ant aspects that often elude general attention. Two such aspects are the his- toric depth and ethnic participation of the process. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the zenith of the slavery period, masters and slaves were passionate participants in the game, and made separate preparations for its future. By the 1830s, when the regional slave system collapsed in the face of intense human-rights pressures, cricket was well on its way to becoming the fi rst expression of Caribbean popular culture. 2 This experience in cultural development is often narrated without specifi c reference to its fundamental multi-ethnic nature. While colonial white elites imported and domesticated the game, branding it for respectability with the ‘whites only’ tag, equally important was its appropriation by disenfranchised blacks who propelled its development as a site of racial and class contest. By the mid nineteenth century cricket had spilled out from these narrow social confi nes and found fertile ground in the larger communities of the emerging white and coloured middle classes, and the black labouring poor.3 This institutional transformation was associated with the smashing of entrenched social barriers that had hindered racial mobility for over a hun- dred years.

  • It's 40 Years Since World Series Cricket Changed Everything, From
    The towering figure of Tony Greig. It’s 40 years since World Series Cricket changed everything, from the way the game was played to the way it was televised – the way, in fact, sport was televised. It introduced coloured apparel, lights, day-night Tests and one-dayers – the list is endless. People look back now with fondness at the WSC revolt, suggested at first by Dennis Lillee, instigated by some of the world’s best players, funded by Kerry Packer. Two of our interviewees, Clive Rice and Tony Greig, are now sadly departed, but our intrepid correspondent, CRISPIN ANDREWS, had long-ago managed to get their thoughts on the Packer revolution. He managed to track down many of the other protagonists recently. Here are their memories of one of the biggest upheavals ever witnessed in world sport.

    An Unforgettable Summer The 1960-61 Australia-West Indies Series A 40th Anniversary Tribute Alf Batchelder Ray Webster Ken Williams © The Melbourne Cricket Club Library Published by the MCC Library Melbourne Cricket Ground Yarra Park, East Melbourne 3002 First Published 2000 ISBN 0 9578074 2 2 Printed by: Buscombe Vicprint Designed by: George Petrou Design An Unforgettable Summer The 1960-61 Australia-West Indies Series A 40th Anniversary Tribute Alf Batchelder Ray Webster Ken Williams MCC Library Volunteers LIBRARY 2000 The centre of attention: Wes Hall walks out for a pre-match practice session. West Indies 1960-61 Summer Tour PRELUDE TO THE 1960 - 61 WEST INDIES TOUR Fifty years ago, international cricket had a much different formula. Five-day Tests were the only vehicle for competition - one-day play was not yet even a figment of commercial imagination. There was no television in Australia, radio and newspapers providing the only media coverage. Overseas teams toured in every second season, on average, with interest focused on the Sheffield Shield competition in between times. Thus opportunities for seeing leading overseas players in action were limited. England and Australia ruled unchallenged as the leading Test nations and series between the two, for the right to hold the mythical Ashes, were regarded as the ultimate contest. Fixtures with the other Test-playing nations of the day - South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan - were considered of secondary importance and they were granted only occasional tours. Apart from England (three series), only West Indies and South Africa (one series each) played Tests in Australia during the 1950s.
