    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.

  • Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990)
    Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990) Pakistan hosted the West Indies in 1986-87. Expecting a gruelling Test series, Imran Khan wanted known fighters in his team. Zulqarnain had kept wicket in Pakistan’s previous Test series against Sri Lanka and in the following One Day International (ODI) tournaments. Anil Dilpat was wicketkeeper in the first of two three-day tour games and in an ODI against the West Indies in October 1986. For the second three-day game, just a week before the opening Test, Imran brought in Saleem Yousuf and retained him for the series. Afterwards Imran felt his choice was vindicated: “In Salim Yousuf, Pakistan had found a courageous player and one who could handle a crisis.” When Pakistan toured the West Indies later in 1987-88, Saleem, despite a broken nose from being hit in the face in the first innings, came in at No. 9 in the second and played a vital innings of 28, adding 51 runs, to help set West Indies a testing score at Bridgetown. Wasim Akram considered Saleem “not the tidiest keeper, but he’s one of the bravest batsman I’ve ever seen.” Saleem Yousuf contributed much to Pakistan’s rise to the summit in Test cricket from 1986. Successes against West Indies, and series wins over India, England (twice), Australia and New Zealand meant that when Pakistan and the West Indies met in late 1990 the series was regarded as the unofficial world championship. Saleem played only in the first Test in that 1990 series, finishing his Test career by helping Pakistan take the lead.

  • Testing Circumstances
    Testing Circumstances “By this time New Zealand were almost certain of victory, Hastings and Yuile having taken their side from a precarious 39 for 3 to 113”: Jamaica Daily Gleaner Brian Yuile, New Zealand v West Indies, Second Test, Wellington, March 1969 The West Indies’ Antipodean tour of 1968-69 began in December with a victory in the First Test at Brisbane. Two months later the tourists left Australia in shock having been beaten three Tests to one. Unused to setbacks, the press unleashed much criticism against the captain, Garry Sobers. Clive Lloyd thought Sobers had spent too much time on golf courses instead of in the nets looking after his team, but also considered the manager ought to have arranged training schedules and team meetings. Charlie Griffith felt the series was lost not because the West Indies were outclassed but because they dropped vital chances1. Sobers agreed, reckoning 34 catches were spilled in the series, by the end of which he was desperately trying to hide butter-fingers in the field. Thus, the West Indies arrived in New Zealand for three Tests seeming to Tony Cozier to “have neither the heart nor the energy for the tight month-long tour.” Clive Lloyd remembered “everyone was completely fed up and just going through the motions.” They were spurred out of lethargy in the First Test by a bold declaration. On the final morning the New Zealand captain, Graham Dowling, set the West Indies 345 runs to win, giving both sides a chance of victory. Finding their enthusiasm, the West Indies raced to an exciting five-wicket victory.
