  • 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.

  • The Coming of Nelson and the Ending of Apartheid Cricket: Gatting’S Rebels in South Africa, 1990
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Johannesburg Institutional Repository The Coming of Nelson and the ending of apartheid cricket: Gatting’s rebels in South Africa, 1990 1990 is a pivotal year in South African history. The liberation movements were unbanned and Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison. These developments were to have a major impact on cricket in the country. An English rebel cricket team led by Mike Gatting was touring the country. The newly constituted National Sports Congress (NSC), which had the support of the African National Congress (ANC) was at the forefront of mass protests against the tour. For once Ali Bacher and his White apartheid cricket body were on the backfoot. But suddenly the NSC, despite massive protests against the tour, agreed to negotiate the end of the tour and call off protests. One of the central reasons for this was that the NSC leadership was informed that Mandela was to be released and that the NSC had to contribute to an environment of ‘stability’. These moves and countermoves were to accelerate the drive to cricket unity and see South African cricket participate in the 1992 World Cup, even before apartheid had officially ended. This article returns to those heady days and seeks to examine the mass protests against the tour and show how the broader political environment contributed to the ending of protests and the return to the international fold before the coming of one person-one vote with negative consequences for the game. The article is entitled ‘Nelson’ because in some cricket countries, such as South Africa, the score of 111 heightens expectations that a wicket could fall.

  • 6 a Taste for More
    6 A TASTE FOR MORE Leaving Sabina Park after the game against Zimbabwe the boys were enjoying their first taste of big time cricket – and we wanted more. The twenty-minute bus ride back to the hotel saw Ireland’s Call sung several times and I gave my customary loud rendition of Aru Cha Cha. Arriving back at the team hotel and I continued what had developed into a routine of shaking hands with our security man, Big D, and he would reply ‘Respect, One love’. Sky Sports, RTÉ, Newstalk and a huge sub-continental press contingent were there: ‘Can you guys win this group?’, ‘Is this a flash in the pan?’, ‘What’s next for Ireland?’, ‘Will the team party hard tonight?’ Once it was over I sat down just in time to watch the highlights of the Zimbabwe game. While I had been involved in televised games before it was very strange watching myself on the replay, possibly because of the amount of camera time that I was given. It made an impression on me and from then on I was more cautious about my on-field behaviour. That night, JB and I had a couple of beers watching the highlights of our game again, as well as those of Sri Lanka v Bermuda. Poor Bermuda were given a lesson, losing by 243 runs. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara had gone to town on their attack, while the Sri Lankan bowlers looked like they were playing against club cricketers. It wasn’t a great advertisement for the so-called ‘minnows’.
