Young Israel Joffe uses a magnifying glass to carefully scrutinise the tips of a lulav (palm branch) to ensure it’s the best possible specimen he can use for Succot this year. Each of the Arbah Minim (four species) are subject to such scrutiny by observant members of the community who seek the straightest lulav, the most perfect etrog, and the freshest hadass and aravah in the name of hiddur mitzvah (beautifying the mitzvah).

    8. Resurrection

    8. RESURRECTION 1901— 1905 Grass grew in the streets of Johannesburg when the British entered at the end of May 1900 and it continued growing for a considerable time. Contrary to general expectation, the War did not end when Pretoria was occupied immediately afterwards nor when all the main towns and communications were controlled by the British Army. South Africa was full of troops and displaced persons and apart from the coast where business boomed, the economy had come to a standstill. In Johannesburg, the mines, saved from destruction by inspired Boer intervention, stood idle and flooded while commandos rode about the land maintaining a state of paralytic instability. Slowly the inhabitants were allowed to return to the strangely silent city—without newspapers, without service of any kind, without supplies and strictly under Martial Law. Only those citizens capable of assisting the reanimation of the town and the Reef were allowed to return and the remaining refugees loudly lamented their continued banishment. For more than a year, Johannesburg led a twilight life. Then Milner, newly appointed Governor of the Transvaal, came to live there with his entourage of young energetic men and the town slowly revived. A Town Council with Lionel Curtis as clerk replaced military control. A newspaper, the Johannesburg Gazette, was started. Shops began to open and civilian life resumed. On the 5th July 1901, there gathered at the Rand Club (which had remained open throughout) a little Wanderers coterie—Harold Strange who took the chair, Llewellyn Andersson, W. T. Graham and Frank Hilner who acted as secretary and kept minutes in a beautiful neat hand.

    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club.

The googly turns past a clueless blade and crashes into the stumps. Adams does his characteristic celebratory flip, the head ducking, the body contorted into a ball, the feet flying through the air before landing on the other side, every such celebration sending palpitations through the South African team management, selectors and physios. Who on earth sends in Venkatesh Prasad as a nightwatchman anyway? An average of 4.87 from eight Tests. Why not the far more capable Anil Kumble or Javagal Srinath? On the other hand, it has been a curiously intelligent move by Hansie Cronje. With his batsmen, primarily Lance Klusener, creaming the Indian bowlers, he and Bob Woolmer probably had a lot of time to work things out. Batting at the fag-end of the day, with that tottering top order, a nightwatchman was always on the cards. Perhaps they had a plan for each one of them. Unfortunately, we can no longer ask them. But that is a different story. Prasad could probably have missed a few from the faster men and survived, too poor a batsman to get a touch to Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock. Adams was the right choice.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, driven by the public school ideology of muscular Christianity, participation in team sports, principally football and cricket, came to be viewed by social commentators as a central characteristic of the ideal English man. The ideology of muscular Christianity then spread throughout the rest of Britain and its Empire via schools and imperial institutions such as the army and civil service. By the end of the century the practice of sport was central to the conception of the manly imperial Briton. At the same time subjects of British rule began to participate in British sports in increasing numbers, leading to a public debate on their ability to embody imperial manliness.

    Kent County Cricketers a to Z

    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.

  • A Systematic Review of the Batting Backlift Technique in Cricket

    A Systematic Review of the Batting Backlift Technique in Cricket

    Journal of Human Kinetics volume 75/2020, 207-223 DOI: 10.2478/hukin-2020-0026 207 Section III – Sports Training A Systematic Review of the Batting Backlift Technique in Cricket by Habib Noorbhai1 There has been an extensive amount of research into the batting elements of cricket. However, there is limited research specifically on the batting backlift technique (BBT). Therefore, this review aims to provide an understanding and consensus of the BBT in cricket at varied skilled levels. A PRISMA flow chart revealed 38 studies that were reviewed (both coaching and scientific literature), which reported on the backlift in cricket. The databases searched were PubMed, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library and Sabinet. This review shows that the lateral batting backlift technique (LBBT) is a likely contributing factor to successful batsmanship at all levels of cricket ability (junior, adolescent, semi-professional, professional, international and former elite/successful cricketers). It was also found that coaching a LBBT to young batsmen may be challenging to teach, and therefore, further coaching models should be developed to assist cricket coaches. As much as a LBBT may be a contributing factor for success, there is still a need to answer a number of questions through further in-depth biomechanical investigations and through interventions that are more meticulous. A way forward for further research in this area of cricket batting is documented at the end of the review. Key words: biomechanics, performance analysis, coaching, batters, cricketers.
