Peter Rimington, Rob Sellars, Matt Schmidt, Peter Strelan, Ev Krieg, Daniel Barker, Troy Pincin Peter Rimington played 110 games for the Club prior to the 1992 season. Peter was a major contributor to the development of the club off-field in the 1980’s and early 90’s. Currently 7th on the all times runs made with 2,776, Peter played a valued role in the ‘old days’ of the Club. Rob Sellars played for the former Old Collegians Cricket Club and the reformed club since 1999. Rob was a driving force about re-establishing the club after nearly a 10 year break, and took on the role of President for 5 seasons. Rob’s leadership was inspirational, and he was a significant driver of ensuring close ties with the College, and attracting many players to play for the club. Known as ‘the Claw’ for his outstanding record as one of the clubs greatest slips fieldsman. Recognising his significant contributions in ensuring today’s thriving club, the prestigious ‘Clubman of the year’ award is named in Rob’s honour. Matt Schmidt’s contribution to the development of the club is without peer and its success today would not have been possible without his involvement. His leadership on the executive for 13 years (including 8 years as President) has included the promotion of the club on so many levels, including the securing of sponsorship and grants, fundraising efforts and the recruitment of Club Coaches. His untiring efforts to ensure a bright and enduring future for the club should be appreciated by all players. A competitive player on field- Matt has played 127 A grade games and is currently the 3rd leading wicket taker for the club (322) and has made over 2,800 runs. A two time A grade premiership player his happy manner and friendliness has given the club a positive outlook. Peter Strelan has played for both the former Old Collegians Cricket Club and the reformed club of the past fifteen years. He was instrumental in helping to bring about the club as we know it today. Not only has he made a significant contribution behind the scenes but has taken on a mentoring role for many players. His leadership as the captain of various sides for seven seasons and the manner in which he has conducted this role has made a major impact on the way we play our cricket. A true club stalwart- playing the 8th most number of games for our Club, currently 5th on the list of all time runs scored with 2,881 runs, and claiming 120 wickets. Peter has played a significant role with the Club on and off field. Ev Krieg has been the longest serving player of the Club having played in every season. He has played the most games (258), made the most runs (5508), and taken the most wickets (421). Ev has always made himself available to play for the Club, no matter what the grade or the situation. His desire is unquestionable – Ev never gives up. He always expects to win, he believes that every ball he bowls can get a wicket, and every shot he takes he can “send it”. An outstanding attitude for the Club. Daniel Barker has now served 16 continuous years on the executive committee. He has served as the Vice President and Treasurer, but has done so much more off field to ensure the everyday workings of the Club continue. Daniel has always portrayed an attitude of “Club first, everyone else second, himself last”. He constantly puts the Club’s priorities in front of his own, to ensure success and development of the Club. Daniel has also been the most recognised A grade wicketkeeper batsman at the Club for some time, with the Club’s most number of catches (235). He shows his strong commitment through training and playing, with the 4th highest number of games played for the Club (190), including A-grade games record holder (149). Troy Pincin has been a long term committed player since the club reformed in 1999. It didn’t take him long to become the treasurer and secure the club’s future financially with many major fundraising efforts. He continued the Treasurer role for 9 years, and has now served 15 years on the executive committee. Troy is always the first to put his hand up to cook a barbeque, and the most commonly found buying someone else a drink. He continues to show a strong commitment to playing every game, now the 2nd highest number of games played for the club (201). Troy builds positive club spirit in the way he leads others on and off the field. President’s Report 2018/19 As we look at our season past, we surely have seen major improvements. It has been a two year journey with our club coaches Ben Beazley and Olly Janaway. Finals have been one of our four goals, and finals we got. Two semi finals and one grand final is a good achievement. We know there’s more to come if we can keep our playing group together. I know many of our A grade are determined to give next season another shot, and with our two biggest rivals gone up to A2, we might be in with our best shot. A big thanks to our coaches who have made Thursday night trainings fun, and made sure we have trained with intensity and purpose. I’m sure most players felt that they have improved, and have been supported by our coaches. Certainly those that committed to playing and training got the most out of their season. This season we were lucky enough to welcome a number of talented new players. It was great to welcome Will Nimmo-Jones as he finished Year 12, and also see Toby Costi make his A grade debut in his first full season. Current year 12 Luke Bastiras also joined us from Concordia and it’s great to see his enthusiasm. We were also fortunate that two new locals to Highgate decided to find their local club. Richard Livingston and Joel Hill made a big impact to our C grade side, with Richard averaging over 100 with the bat.

  • From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
    From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands.

  • Around the Societies
    The newsletter of the Council of Cricket Societies CCS Editorial address: [email protected] Autumn News 34a Chawn Hill, Stourbridge DY9 7JB 2016 The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the Council or any individual cricket society Backspin Magazine The fate of Backspin is still to be determined, though it looks very much as if issue 12 will be the last. This is a great pity as previous issues were chock full, cover to cover, with items of cricket interest of yesteryear, which, ironically, may be one of the reasons for its demise. I offer the following observations. The retro title was launched in 2013 as the sister publication to Backpass, which was founded in 2007. Both titles were published by a small group of enthusiasts, which has now dwindled to just the founder. Backspin is probably unique in that it carries absolutely no advertising, which is crucial for survival. The editor told me that he has to pay a crippling £10k just to put the title on the shelves of WH Smith. Probably one of the biggest causes of failure was that the obvious target market of older cricket followers is largely unaware of the magazine’s existence. I would have thought a mailshot plus a complimentary copy should have been sent to all cricket societies – perhaps it was. Did any society ever receive any mailshots? To quote John Simons, the editor of The Cricket Society News Bulletin, “Backspin packs far more interest in a single issue than in a year’s worth of the competition.” The potentially farewell issue #12 was planned to appear in June (originally May), and actually arrived in July! If you go to Smith’s you’ll have to hunt for it in the larger branches.

  • 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.

The MCC library fact sheets for each of the first three days of this match will highlight one of those contests. Today's sheet reviews the Third Test of the 1980/81 series. Standing: P.E. McEwan, J.G. Wright, J.G. Bracewell, E.J. Chatfield, G.B. Troup, S.L. Boock, M.C. Snedden, W.L. Lees, B.A. Edgar, I.D.S. Smith. Seated: R.J. Hadlee, M.G. Burgess, I.N. Taylor (manager), G.P. Howarth (captain), J.M. Parker, B.L. Cairns, J.V. Coney. The 1980/81 team Unlike the inaugural Test tour in 1973/74, all leading New Zealand players, with the notable exception of Glenn Turner, were available and the selectors chose a squad of proven international players rather than a more even blend of experience and youthful promise. Lance Cairns, Jeremy Coney, Richard Hadlee and John Parker had toured Australia seven years earlier, while nine other members of the party had appeared in a total of 125 Tests between them. Only John Bracewell, Ian Smith and Martin Snedden could be seen as possible investments for the future. Bracewell’s younger brother, Brendon, who was playing club cricket in Perth at the time, was added to the squad immediately before the first Test as a replacement for left-arm paceman Gary Troup, who had not recovered from a side injury sustained early in the tour.

    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.149 - Black Caps Win by Innings & 49 Runs England 58 & 320 New Zealand 427/8 dec. – Not the Light, nor the pitch, nor the ball!! New Zealand departing Eden Park having just dismissed England for 320 to win by an innings and 49 runs! Sensational – never has your Editor, in 65 years of watching Test cricket, seen New Zealand be so dominant throughout a game. To have England 8/23 before drinks, in the 1st session, on the 1st Day was beyond all belief. Our record 26 was in jeopardy but that England managed to scrape to 58 was of no consequence. Trent Boult and Tim Southee – utterly brilliant, no need for sugar or sandpaper! Kane Williamson, superb innings and backed by an equally superb knock from Henry Nicholls. Magnificent fielding – one will never see better catches than the two taken by Williamson – to dismiss Broad in the 1st innings and Bairstow on the 2nd. He lead the side with distinction, managed his attack very shrewdly, and, on the last day, used Astle and Wagner to very good effect. Day/Night Tests – excellent, but a disappointing turnout from the Auckland public – sensational cricket being played, some of England’s greats on show: Cook, Root, Anderson, Broad (who took his 400th wicket), and our own brilliant Black Caps.
