  • The Eye of Istar a Romance of the Land of No Return
    The Eye of Istar A Romance of the Land of No Return By William Le Queux The Eye Of Istar A Romance Of The Land Of No Return Prologue. Thrice hath the Fast of Ramadan come and gone since the Granter of Requests last allowed my eyes to behold the well-remembered landscape, scarcely visible in the pale light of dawn. Hills, covered with tall feathery palms, rose abruptly from the barren, sun-scorched plain, and, at their foot, stood the dazzlingly-white city of Omdurman, the impregnable and mysterious headquarters of Mahdiism, while beyond, like a silver ribbon winding through the marshes, the Nile glided, half veiled by its thin white cloud of morning vapours. Within the walled and strongly-guarded city was a scene, strange and fantastic. The air, heavy with war rumours, was rent by the deafening strokes of enormous brazen tam-tams, mingling with the loud shouts of dark-faced Jalins, half-naked negro fanatics of the Kunjara and the Dinka, armed cap à pie, ready for battle at a moment’s notice. The excitement, which had increased daily for many months, had risen to fever heat. Throughout the short, hot night, the great nahas—those huge brass war drums of the Khalifa Abdullah, Ruler of the Soudan—had been beaten by relays of perspiring negro slaves, glittering with beads and trinkets, the indescribable monotonous rhythm causing the wildly-excited populace to cry, “Nakelkum!” and “Naklulkum!” as, in the fresh, cool hour, when the Wolf’s Tail—the first brushes of grey light which appear as forerunners of dawn—showed in the heavens, they seized guns, spears and shields, and rushing from their houses across the great square of Abu Anga they congregated in the wide, open space near the Tree of Hadra, where the Raya Zerga, or dreaded black standard of the Khalifa, hung ominous and motionless in the morning air.

  • Wisden History
    David Dunstan, "Wisden History" David Dunstan WISDEN HISTORY. Captain Cook and cricket caps. The review of the National Museum of Australia, with its heartfelt yearning for the return of great-white-bloke stories, makes for rather vexing reading ..." Great-white-bloke history is bunk. We can do better. The Age 18 July 2003, Ann McGrath, director of the Australian Centre for Indigenous History at the ANU. Retired banker and horse breeder paid $425,000 for Donald Bradman's 1948 baggy green cap. On loan for public display, the cap is to do a tour of duty through Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney for the 2003104 summer Test series. Source: Museum bags taxing piece of hi story The Australian 10 September 2003. As if the oval were the wide world, we wait squinting with the gulls through the soft, suntan haze at the distant, lazy middle where the ball is bowled, blocked. Soon Steve Waugh in the baggy green will make the news with a lift of the red ball up over the barmy army into the cloudless blue. Today success is all but guaranteed by the sweep and crack of cricket history, the triumphant Aussie book of Wisden. 1 When Steve and team step on to the hallowed ground wearing the traditional baggy green, they walk beside the legends of Chappell, Miller and Bradman and together they warm the stands, the bars and every last esky on the hill with the promise of still more glory. 58 Volume 31, number 1, May 2004 Such is the passion of the times, beyond the oval, across the nation, our libraries and museums have been refurbished in tribute to the wonder of the willow.

  • Cricket Australia
    Cricket: Cricket Australia ‘The long term future of the game is dependent upon embracing all people irrespective of their age, gender, race, religion or ability’.1 Much more than a game ricket is very much a world game. The International Cricket Council was founded in 1909 by Australia, England and South Africa. These three founding members have Cbeen joined by seven further full members, 32 associate members and 54 affiliate members. The game now boasts 96 member countries from all parts of the globe. Cricket has been an important part of the Australian way of life for over a century. It is part of our national psyche and firmly entrenched in Australian culture. Famous players like Sir Donald Bradman and Steve Waugh are idolised and some of the great Test Matches – such as the infamous Bodyline series – have become important moments in our nation’s brief history. Cricket is our nation’s main summer sport in terms of participants, spectators and media coverage. However, it is sometimes seen as an exclusive game, one reserved for certain groups in Australian society. Cricket Australia is adamant this is not the case and wants to change this perception. Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) James Sutherland said: “Cricket is a genuinely national sport and for that to continue into the future, we must ensure it remains a game for all Australians to access, to participate and to be involved in”.2 Cricket Australia Cricket Australia is the governing body of the game in Australia. It is made up of six member associations: Cricket New South Wales; Queensland Cricket; South Australian Cricket Association; Tasmanian Cricket Association; Cricket Victoria; and Western Australian Cricket Association.

    From Flock to Baggy Green From Flock to Baggy Green Gideon Haigh Imprint to go here n team photographs from his era, Joe Darling is invariably near the centre, unsmiling earnestness Iaccentuated by a horseshoe moustache, blazer tight across his broad shoulders. He appears a man not to be trifled with – indeed, his physical strength was a byword, his nickname ‘Paddy’ in token of his resemblance to the heavyweight boxer Paddy Slavin. He looks, in fact, a leader, which is what he was: a brave captain Australia in twenty-one of his thirty- four Tests, a distinguished parliamentarian, and also a woolgrower. His lingering contribution to Australian cricket, indeed, might be felt a combination of the professional, the political and the pastoral. It was on his watch that Australian cricketers first wore the woollen caps and blazers of green and gold in which, as cricket writer Ray Robinson put it, they would be ‘harder to repel than the Spanish Armada.’ 1 Gideon Haigh From Flock to Baggy Green to the nation which they would belong to on their return home’; George Reid spoke of unity ‘with tears in his eyes’. Australian cricket teams over the preceding twenty-one years had played in all colours of the rainbow; something fresh was wanted. The cricketers’ new sage green and gold headgear, manufactured in pure wool and bullion thread by the Collins Street outfitters Louis Potts and Edmund Wilkinson, bore ‘Advance Australia’ on the motto scroll, beneath a prototype coat of arms in informal use for around half a century featuring four panels representing colonial prosperity: a ship (immigration), a pick and shovel (mining), a sheaf (wheat) and a sheep (wool).

Estimate AUD$40,000‐60,000 An impressive collection of sporting memorabilia will be auctioned by Sotheby’s Australia on 7 April 2018 in Sydney. Consigned from the private collection of actor, film producer, director and musician, Russell Crowe, the collection comprises many significant items of Australian and international sporting history from baseball, boxing, cricket, rugby, swimming and tennis. Consisting of 227 items, the Russell Crowe: The Art of Divorce sale is estimated at AUD$2.6 million to AUD$3.7 million and will be held at Carriageworks, Sydney. 1 | Sotheby’s Australia is a trade mark used under licence from Sotheby’s.

Investing heavily into his beloved rugby league team, South Sydney Rabbitohs, he took them all the way to an NRL premiership win in 2014 and World Club Champions in 2015, and restored the Grand Old Club to its former glory breaking a 43 year championship drought. Crowe’s other great passion is test cricket. With two cousins, Jeff Crowe and Martin Crowe, both captaining the New Zealand national side, Russell Crowe has stated, ‘for a long time cricket was the family business.’ After serving in World War 1, Bert Oldfield made his first‐class cricket debut in 1919 playing for Australia in England.

  • Michael Fahey and Mike Coward, the Baggy Green
    Reviews 1 1 1 Michael Fahey and Mike Coward, The Baggy Green: The Pride, Passion and History of Australia’s Sporting Icon, The Cricket Publishing Company, West Pennant Hills, 2008, pp. xii + 131, hb, $38.50. A little while ago, I mentioned to a friend who has little interest in cricket or any other sport for that matter, that I was reviewing a book on Australian cricket’s baggy green cap. He replied, ‘Why on earth would anybody go to the trouble to write a book on a cap?’. This short review is the answer to his retort. Thankfully, for the cricket loving public, one of Australia’s leading cricket journalists, Mike Coward, and one of this country’s leading sports memorabilia experts, Michael Fahey, have teamed up to write this beautifully produced book on the iconic Australian cricket cap. Yet, to be frank, this particular item of headwear isjust one of the many accessories of the modern Australian cricketer. The authors have produced an easily readable and accessible account of the transformation that has occurred to the Australian cricket cap over many decades. Issues that are addressed include past and present players’ views of the baggy green, its development, the modern importance of the cap under recent captains Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh, collectors of caps, the value of caps and the controversies that arise when caps come up for auction. The authors have undertaken extraordinary research when addressing these issues, and this is one of the strengths of the book. For this reviewer, however, one of the most enlightening aspects within this account is the insights that Australian Test players, both past and present, have given the authors, particularly since their views succinctly illustrate the change in players’ attitudes towards this accessory over time.
