With the current talk of “four-day Test matches”, traditionalists like myself will be hoping that this does not eventuate. Let us think of our English colleagues for once – they would have been deprived of a Test match win over South Africa which occurred recently only on Day 5. It is again the turn of President Alan McCarthy to present the regular President/Vice-President column. In this case, some readers will be interested to read Alan’s comments on an article taken from Playing the Game and which was published in the December issue. In this issue, I am pleased to be able to bring readers the “Daily Diary” from Tony Medina, following his CV/New Zealand exchange visit to the Canterbury Region. Many thanks to Tony for the detailed text which makes interesting reading, and which is aided by his excellent pictures. Also, please note the front-cover picture for this issue, which Tony has included specifically for the benefit of his “New Zealand friends”! My own article entitled “What About Spinners?” was prompted partly by the performance of a young spinner in a recent Premier match but also by comments in the press by Shane Warne concerning Nathan Lyon’s position in the team for the Sydney Test. How wrong did Lyon’s 10 wickets for the match prove these comments to be! Most readers will know Eric Kelly’s ability as a Teacher and CV Mentor, but few will be aware of his recent role as a Tutor for young people seeking to gain a driving licence through the L2P programme which is now happening in the City of Moreland. This article has been brought to my attention and I acknowledge the Moreland Leader for the text and associated image. Some readers may have watched the BBL match in Launceston recently, during which the players left the field following some most fierce weather conditions, not rain initially, but lightning. Many thanks to Phil Gillespie who was on-field to observe this lightning display and for giving us his thoughts on the match. At about this time last year we were pleased to welcome Luke Uthenwoldt to the CV Panel from SACUSA. Another South Australian, Tony Trist, has joined our ranks, having recently moved to Victoria. Many will know Tony from his participation in recent Crockett Shield matches but others will be interested to read his “bio” which he has kindly sent me to publish in this issue. Again, thanks to John Collins for his ongoing “Wisdom” column. May I repeat the invitation for any reader to contribute to this column. Any wise comments are worth repeating so please submit them, together with their source. Macca’s Book Review column this month, with again thanks to Alan McCarthy, features the recent publication of the story of the Dam Busters in the book entitled “Chastise” by Max Hastings. Yet again I invite any other book reader to write and submit a review of something you have read recently. I can assure you your review will be published. Future items of interest to VCAUSA members are listed in the ongoing calendar on the back page and may I particularly draw your attention to the notice concerning the annual Melbourne University CC Business Breakfast on page 14. Trevor Finlayson Volume 26 Number 5 2019-2020 Page 4 … AND THE PRESIDENT – PRESIDENTIAL MUSINGS Happy New Year to all members of the VCAUSA and their families and to all readers of Law 43. We hope that you have rested over the festive season and are ready for warmer weather which is likely from January to March. The Second Test finished just in time to avoid a 40+ day and DRS continues to be a subject of consternation amongst cricket watchers and commentators. Many of our umpiring and scoring colleagues will be in action at the National Cricket Inclusion Championships at Geelong in January - a perfect opportunity to hone skills and contribute to the development of blind, deaf and intellectually disabled cricketers from all over Australia. Others will be on duty at Youth Premier League matches through January and we wish you good weather and excellent cricket. The December issue of Law 43 contained an article titled ‘CA IS DISINGENUOUS AND ITS SYSTEM SEXIST’. The article did not include the name of the author but was taken from the on- line newsletter Playing the Game, published by Martin Betts, an umpire from the Tasmania Cricket Umpires and Scorers’ Association and interested readers can find a link to the newsletter from the TCAUSA website. Playing the Game reproduces news articles about umpiring and scoring from all over the world. The article about the punishment handed to WBBL player Emily Smith was written by journalist Gideon Haigh, who has written about business and cricket for newspapers around the world and is a published author. He is also a player and Life Member of the South Yarra Cricket Club in the Mercantile Cricket Association. The article originally appeared in The Australian on 1st December, 2019. To gain further insight into the issues surrounding Cricket Australia’s handling of this matter readers might like to investigate the following news articles - Chris Rowbottam – ABC News - 19 November, 2019 Sarah Keoghan - Sydney Morning Herald - 28 November, 2019 Kevin Roberts (Cricket Australia) - Daily Telegraph – 30 November, 2019. Cricket Victoria recently announced that Nick Frampton will replace Jason Leonard-Scott as the Umpiring Development and Education Manager. We wish Nick all the best in his new role and thank Jason for his support of the VCAUSA over the past two years. Alan McCarthy ----------------------------------------------------- Volume 26 Number 5 2019-2020 Page 5 2019/20 NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE – CANTERBURY REGION Arrival – Friday, 13 December, 2019 I arrived safely and was met at Christchurch Airport by Jim Henderson, the President of the Canterbury Region Cricket Umpires’ Association (CRCUA). We headed directly to the 24Seven Inn in Christchurch itself and it is very, very nice and very new. I settled in and unpacked, then I awaited 6:00 pm, that’s when Day 2 of the Trans-Tasman Day/Night Test in Perth began, local time. I enjoyed a light evening meal with a glass of red then it was a reasonably early night for me as it will be a big weekend, I can’t wait for the action to begin. Day One – Saturday, 14 December, 2019 Christchurch Metropolitan Premier Grade Men’s Game between Easts Christchurch Shirley CC (ECSCC) vs Sydenham CC (SCC) at Burwood Park #1. It’s Day 2 of this fixture and I am collected by and umpiring with Matthew Hill, whom I had met and umpired with on his own exchange to Melbourne last January, an excellent umpire and great fellow. As it happens it will be an early start today, making up 15 minutes lost from last week and then it’s 100 overs for the day with 17 of those to be bowled in the last hour. Day 1 action had seen SCC trail ECSCC on the first innings and batting again, 0/17 overnight and trailing by 102 runs with all 10 wickets in hand.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 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.

  • Entire Catalogue Auction
    Page:3 May 19, 2019 Introduction Welcome to our first auction of Coins, Banknotes, Sporting Memorabilia & Collectables for 2019. If you have suitable material which you would like to consign for future such auctions, please contact us for an appointment. The highlight of this auction is undoubtedly the fabulous Phar Lap & Horse Racing collection assembled by Dario Dicarla of Melbourne featuring not only a pair Phar Lap’s horse-shoes Torsten Weller and his bridle as well as a selection of Race Books (notably including the very rare Cox Plate [email protected] 1930 & 1931 & Melbourne Cup 1929, 1930 & 1931 books), but also a range of other fascinating material, well-complemented by selected items from other vendors. This is preceded by a strong section of Cricket material featuring the extensive collection of Don Bradman memorabilia formed by Don Moyes. Other notable items include the first Sheffield Shield gold winner’s medal from 1892 won by Jack Worrall (who not only captained Victoria in cricket, but was also the very first Australian Rules football coach), as well as the earliest known Tasmanian cricket cap. Gary Watson [email protected] There is an excellent Football section to kick off the new season with items from nearly every club, including badges, jumpers, photographs, posters, and of course a selection of cigarette & trade cards. The Olympics offering is extensive, highlighted by a 1928 Australian Olympic Team ‘Baggy Green’ cap, and with a substantial 1956 Melbourne Games section. Under ‘Australiana’ you will find a wonderful Sydney Harbour Bridge collection with items ranging from kitsch to historic being offered substantially intact, and from a little further afield comes a volume of 1870s Fiji Times newspapers.

    Doc 4.3 Doc 4.5 Wednesday, 24 December 2014 TRANSCRIPT: DANIEL ANDREWS DOORSTOP JUNCTION OVAL, ST KILDA Subjects: Junction Oval redevelopment, Tatts decision, state security, Christmas message, Black Saturday class action Speakers: Daniel Andrews, Tony Dodemaide (Cricket Victoria) E&OE DANIEL ANDREWS: Well, it’s great to be back at the Junction Oval to make what I think is a very significant announcement about Labor fully delivering on the commitment we made to Victorian cricket, and to both elite and community sport and to this local area. This is a fantastic facility, but one that can be so much better, and that’s why just prior to the election Labor committed to a $25-million contribution to the $40-million upgrade of this Junction Oval – both protecting the past, so upgrading these two heritage grandstands, but then building first-class facilities for first-class cricket. There’s also a number of different community elements to this. It’s about making sure that every Victorian can participate in cricket both at a community level and then progress through to that elite competition that our state and this city is so famous for. I want to congratulate Tony Dodemaide and all the team from Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia as well, and all the partners. This has been, from start all the way through to today – the announcement that I’m about to make – such a well-argued case. This project stacks up, it’s fantastic for cricket both at an elite and a community level, but it’s also great for footy because getting on with this project means that the MCG will be available for blockbuster AFL games from Round One of each and every season, and that’s what everyone wants to see happen.
