    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.

  • Glynde and Beddingham CC V Streethouse, Npower Village Knockout Final, Lord's Cricket Ground, Monday 14 September 2009
    Glynde and Beddingham Cricket Club v Streethouse Npower Village Knockout Final Lord’s Cricket Ground, Monday 14 September 2009 The day starts with a walk to Glynde station to begin my journey to Lords but, of course, this particular journey started long before this day. It is difficult to know exactly where. Perhaps when George Tuppen, shepherd on the Home Farm at Glynde, and Bill ‘Scrappy’ Freeman, son of the village gamekeeper and later clerk to the parish council, clerk to the overseers of the poor and secretary of the Glynde Working Mens’ Club, began the modern village cricket team when they were no more than boys nearly 125 years ago. Or perhaps for me, as a small boy, when I watched my father Bob play for Glynde as he had watched his father Tom when he was captain of the Glynde team that won the Cuckmere Valley League in 1927. Or, more likely and relevant to this day, the year that Roger Martin, son of the Glynde stationmaster, first joined the club as a teenager over half a century ago, progressed to be secretary, groundsman and chairman and carried the club tirelessly and selflessly until it arrived at this day of days. Or maybe it was all down to the rabbits. Glynde now have two pitches, next to the small river that runs to the south of the ground and is the boundary between the ancient parishes of Glynde and Beddingham, but when most of the current team started playing as juniors there was still only the main ground and the nets stood next to the garage where the roller is housed.
