Neil Harvey's eyes grow wistful as he gazes from his seat in the Tavern Stand upon the venerated playing arena he first visited as a callow year- old, more than seven decades earlier, in the company of greatness. Harvey, who turns 91 in October, is the last surviving member of arguably the most revered Australia men's cricket team to tour England — Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 Bradman's 'Invincibles' who spent almost five months in the UK during and played 31 first-class matches, losing none of them. There is much that stirs Harvey's heart as he walks through the heavy cast-iron Grace Gates and along the narrow bitumen roadway that leads directly to the rust- red pavilion. So much has changed since he first made that walk in the shadow of World War Two — the grandstands that flank the heritage-protected main building, the media centre that hovers above the Nursery End like a Bond villain's lair, the LED-lit advertising screens that obliterate the quaint white wooden perimeter fence. But there are many less tangible elements of the Lord's experience that remain unchanged for the man regarded among the premier left-handers to have batted Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 Australia, and whose solitary match as Test skipper was at Lord's in Lord's was largely full during Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 compelling first session on Friday, but the sun did not make an appearance and, eventually, rain won the day. It had been an even bleaker scene on Wednesday, when wet weather prevented so much as a coin toss, but amid the damp Harvey found a corner of the ground — to which he's made so many pilgrimages — that had been previously unexplored. As testament to his standing, even in a setting so steeped in pomp as Lord's, Harvey and his son, Robert, were invited to lunch within the sanctum of the Marylebone Cricket Club committee room. It's the annexure to the famed Long Room, and the place where members of the Royal Family are entertained on the occasions they visit their local cricket ground. Harvey undertook four Ashes tours to England — in, and — but his most treasured memories derive from the first campaign, one that has served as the yardstick for every team to have departed Australia on an Ashes quest since Bradman retired at Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 series' end. Partly, Harvey's fondness stems from his youthful inexperience and the eye-opening effect of leaving Melbourne's inner-city tenements, where he had been born at the height of the Great Depression, for days in post-war Britain. He also harbours strong recollections of his one and only tour with Bradman who turned 40 Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 that series and therefore became a father figure to the precociously talented but unworldly teenager who had arrived in Test cricket during the previous Australia summer. Indeed, he had featured in 10 of the 14 first-class fixtures Bradman's team contested ahead of that second Test and struggled in his initial innings on England pitches, failing to reach 25 in his first six hits. So the worried youngster sought feedback from his skipper and the pre-eminent player to have graced a cricket field, albeit observing the convoluted protocols of the time. It's not Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 the more open communication channels that have evolved since Harvey played his final Test, against England at the SCG inand retired with runs at an average of He laments the encroachment of boundary ropes at the Test venues where he once played, noting that one Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 the eccentricities of Lord's is the sharp slope in front of the pavilion which often prevented a well-hit stroke making it all the way to the fence. And then there's the inversely exponential growth in the dimension of cricket bats which, in tandem with the preponderance of flat, lifeless pitches the world over, has tilted the game's balance too heavily against bowlers, in Harvey's opinion. While the comparisons between Don Bradman and Steve Smith are understandable, given they stand first and second on the list of averages for all Test batters to have played 20 matches or more, Harvey sees them as spurious. So unrecognisable are elements of cricket from when he was sneaking glimpses of Bradman from the players' balcony or — as was the case when Australia successfully chased an unthinkable in the fourth innings at Headingley in — in the middle with him, Harvey won't even entertain the suggestion of shared traits between the pair. However, Harvey doubts he will be sat in the stands, or in the comfortable confines of the Committee Room, when Australia most likely with Smith in their number next return to Lord's for an Ashes Test four years from now.

Harvey said Steve Smith showed "a lot of resolve" in his comeback Test against England. The year-old-said it will be his last visit to the famous venue where he captained Invincible: Still Standing v. 12, for the only time in his career, in the second Ashes Test in An attacking left-handed batsman and a brilliant fielder, Harvey made against India at the MCG as a year- old, in just his second Test, in Soon after that innings, Harvey was selected for the Ashes tour in a team that's still considered Australia's greatest ever to tour England. In their 34 matches on tour, the Australian's did not lose a game — a feat which saw them dubbed The Invincibles. Every Australian player on that tour wanted to share the crease with Sir Donald Bradman. Harvey only got a couple of opportunities to do so, but said batting with The Don was like "living the dream". Steve Smith's recent innings of and in his comeback to Test cricket at Edgbaston have led some to compare his exploits to those of Bradman. He's come out and he's pleased everybody and maybe even a few Poms," Harvey quipped. Harvey hinted that Smith wouldn't have been out of place in Australian Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 during his era. You take the cricket bats today, I think they're unfair, they're too much in favour of the batsmen. Harvey finished his Test career with 6, runs at an average of He made Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 centuries and 24 fifties and was named in the Australian Cricket Board's team of the century in For all of his achievements, Harvey's career was defined by being the youngest member of the Invincibles. I was Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 and the next youngest was 26 — they just treated me like I was one of them and gave me all the help I could possibly have. It brought a smile to Harvey's face when he saw four left-handed batsmen in Australia's top six for the first Test on the current Ashes tour. And when it comes to the result of the second Test, Harvey provides the sort of prediction one would expect from an Invincible. News Home.

  • 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.
