We are already seeing the success of this with several very promising players now being involved in Div 1 teams. We are also lucky to have the services of several younger youth players who make themselves available to play in the senior club over the Dec/Jan period each year and really enjoying it. Some are in their third season and still playing youth cricket. The turnout for recent youth prize giving was large and showed us the talent that was coming through the club with the support from both the parents and the clubs. Exciting times ahead. Losing the experienced Lane Tutty to injury, and with career moves outside Christchurch for Braden Gardner and Matt Mc Call, this would normally dent any side. However, with the Sydenham Club’s focus on depth and stepping up new players, Taylor Irie, Carl Hopper and Jamie Hunt have all slotted into the Premier Team seamlessly. Taylor in fact is starting to take real ownership of the number four batting slot after playing two fine innings in our win over OBC just before Christmas.

SOCT uses a 50' x 40' court (Figure 1) or approximately a USCA full court divided in half. The four corner wickets are measured in 10' from each boundary. The two center wickets are measured 10' from the center stake. The interior width of each wicket should be no more than 3 3/a inches. There are six wickets, one stake, four corner posts or flags, and four balls. Each player needs a mallet; mallets can be shared. Tt is possible to play on an ordinary lawn with an inexpensive croquet set. The typical USCA competition game is played with higher-quality equipment on the flattest lawn with the shortest grass available (resembling a grass carpet, golf putting green or lawn bowling green). Look for a croquet set that has sturdy rectangular wickets, mallets sized for adults (about three feet high), and heavy, solid balls. A 9-wicket croquet set can be modified for 6-wicket games. ~►n Outline of the Game. Unified Golf Croquet is played between teams: blue and black balls versus red and yellow balls.

  • “What Would an Athenian Have Thought of the Day's Play?”: C.L.R. James's Early Cricket Writings for the Manchester Guard
    “What would an Athenian have thought of the day’s play?”: C.L.R. James’s early cricket writings for The Manchester Guardian Christian Høgsbjerg* University College London Institute of the Americas, UK *Email: [email protected] In April 1933 the young Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside the famous critic Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian, writing nearly 140 brief reports for the newspaper over the next three seasons. Cardus’s appointment of a newly-arrived British colonial subject like James to such a prestigious post remains quite remarkable. James’s job meant he travelled widely for the first time across England reporting on county clashes, and he began to develop his distinctive philosophy on the game. This article offers the first critical excavation of James’s cricket writing in these early years and thereby examines the future author of Beyond a Boundary’s first engagement with “English cricket” as a popular dimension of imperial metropolitan culture. It argues that James’s political radicalization towards militant anti-colonialist and anti-capitalist activism in Britain during this critical period found expression in his cricket writing. Keywords: C.L.R. James; Beyond a Boundary; Cricket; the Caribbean; Neville Cardus; The Manchester Guardian. In April 1933 the young black Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. According to Paul Buhle (1993), James’s authorized biographer, this made James “the first West Indian, the first man of colour, to serve as cricket reporter for the Guardian” (42), and indeed possibly the first black professional sports reporter in British history.

CUMULATIVE SCORE • Use one stroke to cross off each incident of runs scored. • When more than one run is scored and the total is taken onto the next row of the cumulator this should be indicated as shown below.

    Intramural Sports Tape Ball Cricket Rules 2015-2016 NC State University Recreation uses a modified version of the Laws of Cricket as established by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). The rules listed below represent the most important aspects of the game with which to be familiar. Rule I: Terminology Defined Bails – One of the (2) small pieces of wood that lie on top of the stumps to form the wicket Batsman – (2) batsmen are required to be on the field for the batting side at all times. If (2) batsmen cannot be fielded, the innings is declared over. One batsman is denoted the striking batsman while the other is declared the non-striking batsman. These titles will be shared between the (2) batsmen on the pitch, depending on which one is being bowled to currently and which is just running. a) Striking Batsman – The batsman that is facing the bowler and making contact with the ball. b) Non-Striking Batsman – The batsman that is on the same side of the pitch as the bowler and does not make contact with the ball. Bowler – The player on the fielding side who bowls to the batsman. Bowlers may only change fielding positions in between overs. No bowler may bowl more than (3) overs in an innings. Bowling Crease – The white line marked at each end of the pitch through the wicket and ending at the return creases. Destroyed Ball – A ball that has become unfit for play as declared by the umpires at any time during a match Extra Run – A run not attributed to any batsman that is applied to a team’s total runs Grounded – The physical touching of a batsman or his bat to the area of the pitch behind but not including the popping crease Illegal Delivery/Ball – A ‘No Ball’ will always be considered an illegal delivery Innings – One player's or one team's turn to bat (or bowl).

  • Basics of Cricket Scoring
    The basics of scoring the cricket scorebook Generally our members know exactly how to keep track of the batman’s score and how to tick off the runs as the game progresses, but fewer of us know how to keep track the bowler’s scores or what needs to be entered into the book after each over. It isn’t rocket science… all it requires is a little concentration, a bit of help from a team mate who can confirm a signal or number of runs made and a proper understanding of ‘the cricket scoring symbols’ Inexperienced scorers often get the NO BALL and WIDE symbols mixed up but remembering which is which is quite easy if you liken the WIDE symbol to the umpires signal for a WIDE – standing arms out to the side in the shape of a cross. So far, so good. However, it gets a little more complicated when a combination of elements are added to the run of events: The ‘circle’ symbol as above indicates NO BALL. But if the batsman hits the ball and scores singles, a boundary 4 or boundary 6 off the delivery, then the runs are marked inside the ‘circle’. In practice it is easier to write down the number then ‘encircle’ it. These are batsman’s runs and the NO BALL itself is a NO BALL extra. More often you might see a NO BALL delivery elude the wicket keeper and the batsmen run byes or the ball runs to the boundary for 4 byes. In this case each bye taken is marked with a ‘dot’.

  • MSO 9 Wicket Rules & Etiquette (Final)
    MARYLAND SENIOR OLYMPICS RULES FOR 9 WICKET CROQUET 1 INTRODUCTION The Maryland Senior Olympics uses selected rules for 9 Wicket Croquet published by the United States Croquet Association (USCA). Games are played at Ginger Cove (GC), 4000 River Crescent Drive, Annapolis, MD, and at the West River Wickets’ (WRW) facility at 120 Owensville Rd, Owensville, MD. The Ginger Cove courts include one full-size (100 x 50 feet) and one three-quarter-size that are artificial turf. The three WRW courts include two natural grass courts (one manicured and one backyard type) and a sand court. The tournament employs Waterford doubles. In Waterford doubles the tournament director assigns a different partner in each game until the semifinals and finals are reached. Those individual players with the best win-loss record will be placed in a ladder for the playoffs. The Tournament Director will divide players into two age groups (approximately 50 to 70 years and over 70 years, depending upon the number of contestants); each group will compete only against opponents of similar age. Mallets will be provided anyone not possessing one. Personal mallets may be used. OBJECT OF THE GAME The object of the game is to advance the balls through the course by hitting them with a mallet, scoring a point for each wicket and stake made in the correct order and direction. The winner is the first side to score the 14 wicket points and 2 stake points for each of its balls, or the team with the most points when the time limit is reached. At the beginning of a turn the player (called the "striker") has one shot.

    UNITED STATES CROQUET ASSOCIATION (USCA) Copyright 2013.6 United States Croquet Association. All Rights Reserved The United States Croquet Association has created this special edition of the Rules of 9 Wicket Croquet for newcomers to the game or for anyone, young or old, who wants to play the traditional backyard sport Americans have enjoyed for over 140 years. The game of croquet (pronounced "crow-KAY") is a tradition of backyard recreation in America, as well as a sport that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Whether you are a novice who plays the occasional friendly game or a determined competitor who gives opponents no quarter, you need to know the rules and have them handy for reference during a game. This special edition of the rules was prepared by the sport's governing body, the United States Croquet Association (USCA), as a guide for informal backyard play. The following rules are suggested for use in play, as it is the purpose of the USCA to standardize one set of rules. Some interesting "options" are also listed below, which may make the game more challenging. Those playing in a game can always create their own rules and variations; however, any variation to be used must be announced before the start of the game. The major change to the 2013 USCA 9 Wicket Rules is that a ball is "Out of Bounds" when more than 50% has crossed the inside edge of the court boundary (not just any part of the ball).
