P13 2 Layout 1 Established 1961 13 Sports Monday, December 4, 2017 Marsh, Paine repay Australia’s selectors with key partnership Paine’s return at the age of 32 was even more extraordinary ADELAIDE: Shaun Marsh and Tim Paine repaid the faith shown in them by Australia’s selectors and silenced their critics at least for a while as they combined for a key partner- ship in the second Ashes Test against England yesterday. The duo’s recall for the first two Tests of the series was greeted with reactions ranging from bemusement to outright abuse, with for- mer Test spinner Stuart MacGill dubbing the selectors “morons masquerading as mentors”. The selection panel, however, may be for- given for feeling a sense of vindication after Marsh scored an unbeaten 126, while Paine chipped in with a timely 57. “I haven’t thought about all the incidental noise about my selec- tion for the team,” said Marsh. “Six months ago I wasn’t sure whether I’d be back here. I’d always dreamt of getting back in. I’ve just tried to come in and feel nice and relaxed. I’ve felt good about my game the last three or four months.” SCOREBOARD Marsh and Paine came together with the match delicately balanced with Australia on ADELAIDE, Australia: Scoreboard at the close on day two in the second Ashes Test between Australia 209 for five in their first innings on the second and England in Adelaide yesterday: day at Adelaide Oval.

This is his second visit to the Society, the first being in February 2001 when he spoke on the errant 19th century Surrey wicket-keeper Edward Pooley.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 260 - JANUARY 2006
    NEWSLETTER No. 260 - JANUARY 2006 Wednesday 11 January – Meeting The Society is very pleased to welcome Kevan James to this evening’s meeting. Because of his personality and approachability he was undoubtedly one of the most popular men to play for Hampshire in recent years. Since retiring from the game in 1999 he has pursued a successful career as a sports journalist on BBC Radio Solent. Many will have last seen him conducting interviews with Hampshire’s C & G Final winning team on their lap of honour at the end of the match. Our speaker achieved cricketing immortality on two days in June 1996 when in Hampshire’s match against the Indian tourists, he became the first, and so far only, man in cricket history to take four wickets in successive deliveries and then make a century. The start of the tourists’ innings on the first morning gave no indication of the startling events which were to unfold in mid-afternoon. Ajay Jadeja and Vikram Rathore tore into the Hampshire bowlers before lunch. They had put on 192 in three hours before Kevan James induced Jadeja (91) to edge to Matthew Keech at slip. The momentous four wickets in four balls started when Rathore (95) was smartly stumped by Adie Aymes down the legside; Sachin Tendulkar was then caught off bat and pad at short-leg by Jason Laney. The disappointment of the crowd in seeing the young genius’ dismissal was audible. However, a ball later they were cheering as Rahul Dravid shuffled forward to be trapped leg-before. The emotional roller-coastal of an over continued.
