VW 15 Numbered No 15, July 8th 2020. The Virtual Wisdener The Newsletter of the Wisden Collectors’ Club hope that readers find the two main arcles in this edion of the VW of interest. I was unsure as to whether I or not to take up space with the 1970 Journal but when I started to read through Tony Lewis’s thoughts on the 1970 season it became an easy choice to make. The full journal will feature in the Virtual Wisdener’s to follow but I will admit that one of the main reasons for re-prin1ng it in full was the reminder that although each years’ Wisden can give us a review of the previous year, it can never really detail - nor does it try - the unfolding season. Reading Lewis’s thoughts on the ‘pro’ and ‘an?’ South AfriCan tour fac?ons and despite thinking that I knew that the tour was CanCelled ‘late’ - it was remarkable to learn that the actual tour was CanCelled well into the English season and the replacement ‘Tests’ against a Rest of The World side, were very has?ly arranged. Could suCh a tour be arranged so quiCkly today? August the 1st is s?ll the day for domes?C CriCket to resume, but nothing really has Changed in the past week apart from the Coun?es agreeing to have both the forms of the game played upon the restart. Without boringly going over the ground from the last VW, in a week, they have deCided one thing and now they are going to disCuss the detail. I have to ask…seriously, I have to ask…there is no CriCket, there is nothing happening, so what else are the Coun?es doing to fill the weeks? What else is oCCupying the day for those who need to make a deCision? Surely, all this Could have been done over a full day of Chang on Zoom!!! It is baffling, it is truly baffling. There is s?ll no defini?ve format in place, whiCh again is just too stupid to acCept. The England v West Indies Test will, if no more rain, begin at 2pm. Am I looking forward to it? I don't know. I must admit that there was a sense of things returning to normal when I heard ‘start delayed by rain.’ Maybe if I watCh the first session, maybe if I watCh it for the CriCket and try and put to the back of my mind the lack of speCtators or maybe if I just be thankful that there is CriCket. There has actually been more CriCket news as the Test approached. Apparently England opener Dom Sibley lost 12kgs a[er realising he needed to: Ben Stokes will Captain England in Root’s absenCe, and Brian Lara tells us all that the West Indies need to win the Test in four days beCause they wont last five. Rive?ng stuff! I am desperate to hear Sibley’s diet, that is surely a book for the future. Wouldn’t it be ironiC if he was out for 12! I men?oned last week that wearing my Wisdenworld hat I have started to view ColleC?ons onCe again. All with the CorreCt protoCols and all respeC_ul of the guidelines. By the middle of next week all the stoCk gathered should be on the website and again, as promised at the outbreak of Covid-19, the 20% off sale will Con?nue. Three of the four furmedges did a shopping trip for the first ?me sinCe January and we even had lunCh out. The purpose of the shopping trip was simple. Lorraine and Abbey (Fashion iCons both) were given the task by me of Choosing Clothes that they thought I would look good in. I know what you are all thinking, ‘you look good anyway Bill’ or ‘You fool.’ Well, it was fun. Forget the Clothes for a minute - the actual experienCe was nowhere near as daun?ng as I imagined. The shops were Clean and all adhered to the guidelines. It was wonderful to see them open and the staff in the place we went for a late lunCh Could not have been more helpful. The Clothes..well, giving myself over to two of my favourite people (Libby was otherwise engaged) was a great idea. I am now looking at least six months younger and Lorraine took great joy this morning in removing various items from my ‘old' wardrobe that I will not see again. One thing I did buy whilst shopping was the latest edi?on of The CriCketer magazine. I have to admit that a[er moving away from it a few years ago, the latest edi?on is Quiz really good.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 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. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller Starts to Look at the Most Controversial Form of Dismissal
    Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller starts to look at the most controversial form of dismissal Of the 40 wickets that fell in the match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan at Cheltenham that ended on 1st August 2010 as many as 18 of the victims were dismissed lbw. Was this, I wondered, a possible world record? Asking Philip Bailey to interrogate the files of Cricket Archive, I discovered that it was not: back in 1953/54 a match between Patiala and Delhi had seen 19 batsmen lose their wickets in this way. However, until the start of the 2010 season the record in English first-class cricket had stood at 17, but, barely credibly, Cheltenham had provided the third instance of a match with 18 lbws in the course of the summer. Gloucestershire had already been involved in one of these, against Sussex at Bristol, while the third occasion was the Sussex-Middlesex match at Hove. Was this startling statistic for 2010 an indication that leg before decisions are more freely given nowadays? It seemed to correlate with an impression that modern technology has given umpires a better feel for when a ball is likely to hit the wicket and that the days when batsmen could push forward and feel safe were now over. I determined to dig deeper and examine trends over time. This article confines itself to matches played in the County Championship since World War I. I propose looking at Tests in a future issue. The table below shows how the incidence of lbw dismissals has fluctuated over time.

    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.
