As he tucked his pads under his arm and picked up his bat, the rest of the players were already making their way to the change room at the back of the ivy-covered Members Stand. The Sheffield Shield season was beginning that week in Brisbane. Queensland would play New South Wales. Like a slow thaw following winter, cricket’s arrival heralded the approach of summer. Chappell felt compelled to make some sort of speech on the eve of the season. Despite his prowess with words he wasn’t much for the ‘rah rah’ stuff. He believed bowlers bowled and batsmen batted. If they needed motivation from speeches then there might be something wrong. When he spoke it was direct and honest which is why his mind was being tugged in two directions: what 20170814_3204 Chappells last stand_TXT.indd 1 15/8/17 10:42 am he wanted to say to the team that might set the tone for the year, and what he really thought of their chances.

  • The Great War, 1914-18 Biographies of the Fallen
    IRISH CRICKET AND THE GREAT WAR, 1914-18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FALLEN BY PAT BRACKEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH 7 NOVEMBER 2018 Irish Cricket and the Great War 1914-1918 Biographies of The Fallen The Great War had a great impact on the cricket community of Ireland. From the early days of the war until almost a year to the day after Armistice Day, there were fatalities, all of whom had some cricket heritage, either in their youth or just prior to the outbreak of the war. Based on a review of the contemporary press, Great War histories, war memorials, cricket books, journals and websites there were 289 men who died during or shortly after the war or as a result of injuries received, and one, Frank Browning who died during the 1916 Easter Rising, though he was heavily involved in organising the Sporting Pals in Dublin. These men came from all walks of life, from communities all over Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. For all but four of the fifty-two months which the war lasted, from August 1914 to November 1918, one or more men died who had a cricket connection in Ireland or abroad. The worst day in terms of losses from a cricketing perspective was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, when eighteen men lost their lives. It is no coincidence to find that the next day which suffered the most losses, 9 September 1916, at the start of the Battle of Ginchy when six men died.

    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.

  • After the War Another Win Followed
    CHAPTER 3 Carlton were in a good position against Fitzroy when rain halted proceedings. Carlton closed at 3/202, with O’Keeffe scoring 96 not out, Stan Hastings 37 and Sutherland 35. Fitzroy had lost 1/32 when rain stopped play. After the War Another win followed. Carlton scored 173 and 1/47, with Stan Hastings making 70 not out, and they dismissed Northcote for 126, with Syd Hastings taking 4/10 and Truman 3/41. Enthusiasm for the game in 1919-20 was sparked off by the return of the Australian A.I.F. But the next game saw Collingwood on top. They made 156 and 7/147, Syd Hastings team, in which Carl Willis and Allie Lampard were Victorian representatives. But there was taking 6/37. Carlton lost 5/39 and their innings ended for 80, Sutherland being top scorer with regret at the Club at the death of Billy Dedman (whose father was one of the founders) and 28. Charley Bowes. Bill Stewart, Lyle Downes and Horrie Clover were chosen as Club Represen- tatives in teams sent to the country. All three became famous as footballers. Although not as Despite this failure Carlton reached the semi-finals, when Collingwood were again the successful as formerly, the first eleven had six wins and five losses. Lyle Downes had a great opposition, but it proved to be a debacle. Collingwood lost 2/268 on the first day, and went on season, with scores of 109 not out, 67 and 73. Stewart made 99 not out and 50, Clover 85 not to make a colossal score of 591.
