    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’.

    NEWSLETTER – February 2013

    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 324 – FEBRUARY 2013 KEN CHAPMAN Members will be sad to learn that Ken Chapman died in January. Ken was one of the five founder members of the Society in 1975. He served as Chairman for a number of years and was the Society’s longest standing committee member. The address at his funeral referred to him being a true gentleman and a gentle man. It was the most apt of descriptions. Ken’s quiet and kind personality endeared him to all whom he met. His thoughtfulness and generosity were exemplified at committee meetings at May’s Bounty when he always greeted his colleagues at the door and offered them a drink. His wise counsel in the conduct of the Society’s affairs was much valued. The large turn out at his funeral was telling testimony to a life of public and voluntary service. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held at Test Valley Golf Club prior to the next meeting on Wednesday 6 March 2013. The AGM will start at 7pm. Any resolutions and nominations for office on the Committee, duly proposed and seconded, should be submitted to our Chairman, Susanne Marlow, by Monday 25 February 2013. The speaker after the AGM will be Cally Barlow, wife of the great South African all-rounder, Eddie Barlow. Cally comes highly recommended by other Societies. Long standing members will recall Eddie’s passionate address to the Society on South Africa’s then isolation in sport in September 1986.

    A Social History of the Cricket Tours to New Zealand in the 1930S

    Confirming Tradition: Confirming Change – A Social History of the Cricket Tours to New Zealand in the 1930s Owen Mann Programmes of the cricket tours to New Zealand in the 1930, courtesy of the New Zealand Cricket Museum. A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2011 i Abstract This study examines the eight tours to New Zealand by visiting cricketing teams between 1930 and 1939. There were four tours made by the Marylebone Cricket Club along with inaugural visits by the West Indies, South Africa, an England Women's XI, and lastly the Julien Cahn XI. These tours were major events for contemporaries, attracting large crowds and much attention in the press. They are a focus for an examination of New Zealand’s relations with other parts of the world, specifically other parts of the Empire. The tours were major sporting events, but also prompted wider popular and public discussion of nationhood, race, gender and the role of sport in society and the Empire. For the New Zealand public in the 1930s, cricket was a game that connected them with their British and imperial heritage during a period of uncertainty. For the cricket community of New Zealand the tours were massive undertakings due to the substantial financial commitment required and poor results, but the tours continued because of the strong associations and core beliefs that cricket nurtured and because of a love of the game. Though these tours contained few moments of on-field achievement for the hosts they say much about how New Zealanders of that decade viewed themselves and others.
