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.

  • England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1
    England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1. Balls per Over: 8 Playing Hours: 6 days x 5 hr Captains: AL Hassett (Aus), FR Brown (Eng) England’s second post-war visit produced a curiously flat series, which had some parallels with the equivalent tour after World War One. Once again, Australia won 4-1 after securing the Ashes at the first opportunity; the one defeat was Australia’s first for over twelve years. And then there was Bedser, whose superb fast-medium bowling, like Tate’s in 1924, was still unable to swing the result. Unlike 1924, though, there was a general dominaton of ball over bat, and the response of the bat, especially from England, was too often a sort of paralysed defence which would become commonplace in the 1950s. With Bradman retired and Miller mellowing, Australian batting fireworks were also in short supply. Harvey was consistent, but couldn't find top gear. The series was played in good spirit, thanks largely to the easy-going natures of captains “Puck” Hassett and the suave Freddie Brown, but public response to one of the lowest-scoring series of the century was judged to be disappointing. For the third series in a row, Brisbane weather dictated terms in the opening match. Storms prevented play on the second day, and rendered the pitch unsuitable for play until well into the third. One wonders how suitable it was thereafter, as 20 wickets fell in less than four hours. England saved the follow-on, but if anything their bowlers were then too successful, encouraging Hassett’s extraordinary declaration at 7 for 32, and casting England back into the gluepot.

  • St George District Cricket Club Was Founded As a Subdistrict Club in 1911 Under the Auspices of the NSW Cricket Association, the President of St George DCC Being Mr J
    St George District Cricket Club was founded as a subdistrict club in 1911 under the auspices of the NSW Cricket Association, the President of St George DCC being Mr J. Lister. Hurstville Oval at that time was not an enclosed ground - despite persistent pressure on the Council. The original area of Hurstville Park (of seven acres) was bought from the McMahon Estate in the early years of the century, and vested in the council. The ground was fenced, planted and developed by cricket lovers over a period of several years - and in 1911 famous Australian left-hander Warren Bardsley brought an invitation X1 to Hurstville Oval to play the St. George district team, on the official opening day. St George began playing in First Grade in 1921 and then competed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade competitions. They also entered teams in Shires competition in 1926 and continued to play teams in that competition from 1926 to 1947 and again from 1965 to 1968. A 4th grade team had begun to play in 1934 and has continued to the present with a break from 1940 to 1948. With the introduction of 5th grade in 1969 there was no further participation in the Shires competition. Currently, St George DCC Inc fields teams in the 1st to 5th grade competitions, the Poidevin-Gray Shield (Under 21), the A.W.Green Shield (Under 16) and the 1st Grade Limited Overs competition. St George’s best known player is of course Sir Donald Bradman who came to the club in 1926 and later stayed at the Rockdale home of then club secretary Mr F.
