  • Issue 40: Summer 2009/10
    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • Sporting Legends: Imran Khan
    SPORTING LEGENDS: IMRAN KHAN SPORT: CRICKET COMPETITIVE ERA: 1971 - 1992 Imran Khan (Mohammad Imran Khan Niazi; born November 25, 1952), was a Pakistani cricketer (1971-1992) and captain of the Pakistani cricket team. He is currently a member of the National Assembly, the lower house of the Pakistani parliament. Imran is a Pashtun/Afghan of the Niazi clan. Imran went to school in Lahore and then attended the Royal Grammar School Worcester and Keble College, Oxford where he was also Captain of the Oxford University Cricket team in 1974. He comes from a cricketing family, with two of his cousins Javed Burki and Majid Khan also having played test cricket for Pakistan. Imran is seen as one of the finest ever all-rounders, along with Garfield Sobers, Kapil Dev, Ian Botham and Richard Hadlee. He was one of the fastest bowlers of the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s and in the later half of his career, one of the best batsmen in the Pakistan team. More significantly, as a captain, he transformed the Pakistan team, otherwise notorious for infighting and "choking" in close matches into one of the best sides in the world. Imran made his Test debut against England at Birmingham in 1971 at the age of 18. His performance was unimpressive as his wayward medium pace bowling proved short of what was required at that level. By the end of the series, the senior cricketers in the team had written him off as a test-standard cricketer. SPORTING LEGENDS: IMRAN KHAN Khan’s graceful bowling action was highly effective.

  • Cricket Has Changed
    ricket has changed substantially over the last 35 years, explains former C Essex star and England international Derek Pringle. ‘When I played for Essex in the 1980s, we were a coach-free zone, Edgy but now players can’t move for coaches, which makes it a more prescriptive environment in which to develop,’ Derek says. Undoubtedly the 1980s was an era in which Derek came of age. A member of the successful Essex sides for 15 years in the 1980s and Stuff early 1990s alongside Graham Gooch, Mark Waugh, Nasser In his first published memoir, legendary Essex and Hussain, John Lever and Neil Foster, he helped Essex to victory England Test cricketer Derek Pringle asks why cricket in the County Championship five in the 1980s was very different to the game today times as well as playing in 30 Tests, 44 One Day Internationals and two World Cups for England. His first ever memoir,Pushing the Boundaries – Cricket in the Eighties recalls those glory days. ‘Playing for Essex was fun-filled and successful,’ Derek says, ‘but it was a freakish coming together of personalities and excellence that doesn’t happen that often, so I feel blessed that I played for the county when I did.’ It is this experience that fills the pages of Derek’s book. Seen through the lens of his 20-year post-cricket career as a journalist, he recalls life as a professional player in a decade when the game was dominated by larger-than-life characters, whose exploits were front-page news. In the England Test side, he lined up alongside David Gower, Allan Lamb and Phil Edmonds, and was quickly dubbed the new Ian Botham, although the original was still playing in the same team.
