  • 356 – October 2016
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 356 – OCTOBER 2016 ANNUAL DINNER An application form for the Society’s Annual Dinner, to be held at the Ageas Bowl on Wednesday 7th December (starting at 7pm), is enclosed with this Newsletter. Would members please complete and return the form, with cheque, to Susanne Marlow by Friday 18 November. The speaker will be Jim Troughton, the former Warwickshire captain and England One-Day International player, and a member of the well-known theatrical family. MEETINGS Wednesday 26 October 2016 – Meeting This evening’s speaker is Sean Ervine, Hampshire beneficiary in 2016, to whom the Society extends a very warm welcome. He celebrated his benefit season in style by scoring 1000 runs in a season for the first time: 1090 runs at the impressive average of 57.36. His aggregate would have been even higher had he not missed four matches through injury. He enjoyed a glorious end to the season. In the last four Championship matches he struck 513 runs at the almost Bradmanesque average of 85.50. He began the sequence with a century in each innings (103 and 106) at Taunton, followed it with 80 against Yorkshire at The Ageas Bowl and then 158 at The Oval. He finished with 50 and 16 versus Durham at home. He had earlier made 123 Yorkshire at Headingley and 93 at Chester-le-Street. He has always been the most watchable of batsmen. He seemingly has time to spare and is a very clean striker of the ball, with shots all round the wicket.

Our speaker has also written articles for cricket magazines and books on Hedley Verity and Len Hutton in the Famous Cricketers series of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. Wednesday 19 September 2012 – Report Those who attended Nigel Gray’s address at the Ageas Bowl were treated to an absorbing and most enjoyable evening. He talked about how and why the pitches at Hampshire’s headquarters were allocated for the matches played there. It transpired, perhaps not surprisingly, that the catalyst was provided by Sky television. They had already asked which pitches (there are 20 across the square) would be used for next year’s three international matches (two LOIs and a T20). The information was needed for Sky’s forward planning of tv cameras, including the subsidiary cameras around the ground. It also determined ticket /seat numbering and location of sightscreens.
