    BASIL DOLIVEIRA: CRICKET AND CONTROVERSY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Peter Oborne | 288 pages | 07 Apr 2005 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9780751534887 | English | London, United Kingdom Basil DOliveira: Cricket and Controversy PDF Book The speech and its theme had been widely anticipated in South Africa, but the frank tone of Macmillan's delivery surprised many. We tell the story of that fight and the impact it had on the country and the players, both black and white, who were caught up in it. Lanark Kinross and Western Perthshire. D'Oliveira was aware of the political discussions surrounding him during , and the pressure on him was intensified by the scrutiny of his supporters and opponents in England and South Africa. Only few visitors noticed, and even fewer cared, that there was something wrong. Order by newest oldest recommendations. Because of more rewards players were defaulting their commitments to their National boards and were playing for Packer. His example was followed by the England batsman and clergyman David Sheppard , who declined to tour South Africa, refused to play the team in , and spoke out publicly against the policies of the South African government despite efforts by the MCC to silence him. Nothing was scored on the ball. While the general public were baffled that a man who just scored a century against Australia could be left out of the team, the English cricketing press were divided on the decision. As Carlos stressed patiently while we sat at my kitchen table in May , the badge worn on the podium by the two Americans and Peter Norman, the white Australian m silver medalist, celebrated the Olympic Project for Human Rights.

Reverse sweeps make me shudder; KP’s attacks (when batting, that is) made me bewail the lack of a basic straight-bat technique and David Warner just makes me think – slogger! And so on. However, Brendon McCullum is another matter entirely. Watching New Zealand lose early wickets in their second Test against Australia and seeing the talented Kane Williamson inching to just three runs in over sixty deliveries was a painful experience until the world turned upside down. Having been beaten comprehensively by his first ball, Brendon McCullum sliced the next ball over the slips for four and then began to construct something of true wonder. With most bowlers going for barely one an over, Mitchell Marsh entered the attack and jaw-droppingly, saw his first over go for twenty one runs.

    VW 15 Numbered

    No 15, July 8th 2020. The Virtual Wisdener The Newsletter of the Wisden Collectors’ Club hope that readers find the two main arcles in this edion of the VW of interest. I was unsure as to whether I or not to take up space with the 1970 Journal but when I started to read through Tony Lewis’s thoughts on the 1970 season it became an easy choice to make. The full journal will feature in the Virtual Wisdener’s to follow but I will admit that one of the main reasons for re-prin1ng it in full was the reminder that although each years’ Wisden can give us a review of the previous year, it can never really detail - nor does it try - the unfolding season. Reading Lewis’s thoughts on the ‘pro’ and ‘an?’ South AfriCan tour fac?ons and despite thinking that I knew that the tour was CanCelled ‘late’ - it was remarkable to learn that the actual tour was CanCelled well into the English season and the replacement ‘Tests’ against a Rest of The World side, were very has?ly arranged. Could suCh a tour be arranged so quiCkly today? August the 1st is s?ll the day for domes?C CriCket to resume, but nothing really has Changed in the past week apart from the Coun?es agreeing to have both the forms of the game played upon the restart. Without boringly going over the ground from the last VW, in a week, they have deCided one thing and now they are going to disCuss the detail.

    386 – January 2020

    HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 386 – JANUARY 2020 MEETINGS Wednesday 15 January 2020 - Meeting The Society is delighted to welcome CLAIRE TAYLOR and KEITH WALMSLEY to this evening’s meeting. Claire Taylor was a formidable presence in women’s international cricket in the first decade of the current century. She gained a permanent place in the game’s history when she became the first woman to be nominated as one of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Year in 2009. She was in very distinguished company. The other four were James Anderson, Dale Benkenstein, Mark Boucher and Neil McKenzie. She gained recognition for her splendid feats in international cricket in 2008. In February, she scored 79 and 64 not out as England Women beat Australia Women in a one-off Test at Bowral, only their fourth Test victory in Australia. In the ensuing summer, she played a key role as England Women won all nine of their one-day internationals. The editor of Wisden, Scyld Berry, wrote: “…there is no element of political correctness or publicity-seeking about her selection. The best cricketers in the country should be recognised, irrespective of gender. Taylor has been chosen on merit, for being pre-eminent in her form of the game”. She emphasised her standing when England were victorious in both the World Cup in Australia in the Spring of 2009, and the inaugural World Twenty 20 tournament in the following summer. Already the world’s number one batsman in the rankings, she was the leading run scorer and Player of the Tournament in both competitions.

    D J Goddard's Cricketing Memories

    D J Goddard’s Cricketing Memories This account of my cricketing memories was written primarily for my son, Chris, whilst he was in Australia from 2004 -2006 and has been added to since as further recollections occur. Much of its contents will be familiar to him, but there will be a few reminiscences that are new to him. The Early Days I cannot recall what attracted me to cricket as a sport, but one of the early influences may have been the 1950 West Indies tour of England. At that time the West Indies team was very much a mixture of white settlers and black indigenous players and the captain of the West Indies was one John Goddard which may have contributed to my interest. I can recall listening to that Test series on the wireless and trying to score the match ball by ball from the commentary and being intrigued when the commentator referred to their black players as ‘coloured’ and wondering what colour they were! Another influence was that the family home was in Roseburn Drive, close to Roseburn Park, one of the public parks that had a cricket square and hosted mid-week evening cricket matches between ‘works’ sides such as Corinthians, Maccabbi, London Road, Newington, St Mary’s, Meadowbank and DAFS. As local lads we often helped to fish balls out of the Water of Leith from boundary hits. My brother, George is four years older and he too was into cricket at an early age. He was a Kent supporter and Colin Cowdrey was his childhood hero.

    MCC, English Complicity and the D'oliveira Affair

    MCC, English Complicity and The D’Oliveira Affair – The Elusiveness of Truth “I come down on the side of honesty, a good honest piece of bungling by good honest men.”1 Thus did Ted Dexter, sometime England captain and one-time prospective Tory MP, famously characterise the most important selection meeting in sporting history. More recently, in the Sunday Telegraph, the political columnist Kevin Myers delivered much the same verdict, except that he described the original omission of Basil D’Oliveira from the MCC party to tour South Africa in the winter of 1968-69 as “cretinous”2. And not simply because D’Oliveira’s century and priceless final-day wicket had just helped England win the final Test to square the Ashes series. In 2003, Observer Sports Monthly named his non-selection among its “Ten Worst Sporting Decisions”. But were they all too generous? History tells us D’Oliveira was summoned as a replacement for the supposedly injured Tom Cartwright three weeks after that selection meeting, whereupon Prime Minister John Vorster denounced the party as “the team of the Anti-Apartheid Movement” and MCC cancelled the tour, fuelling the sports boycott that ultimately did so much to bring down the most despicable regime of modern times. Not for nothing would Nelson Mandela convey his hearfelt thanks to “Dolly”. It is remarkable that no film producer has yet sought to bring this classic political espionage thriller to the screen – the chief protagonists of which will be on the screen behind me. Even more than Bodyline, this is assuredly the cricketing tale that demands to be filmed.
