  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the idiom, "this just isn't cricket," refers to something awry or dishonorable.' The expression derives from the strict code of sportsmanship that gave cricket the badge of being the "gentlemen's sport." However, stemming from the increasingly immense popularity of Indian cricket throughout the last century, sports betting-an illegal pastime under India's gambling laws-has also become a huge industry. 2 Because punters3 often wager enormous sums of money, corruption within the sport of cricket, in the forms of match-fixing and spot- fixing,4 has become increasingly problematic.5 In response to this corruption, many Indians advocate for the legalization of gambling, including sports betting, arguing that legalization would remove the incentive to bet on the black market * Erin Gardner Schenk (J.D., 2014, University of Denver; B.B.A., 2005, University of Oklahoma) is grateful for the endowment of the Honorable Leonard v.B.

  • England and Wales Cricket Board Anti-Discrimination
    ENGLAND AND WALES CRICKET BOARD ANTI-DISCRIMINATION CODE INTRODUCTION The England and Wales Cricket Board (the ECB) is responsible for the governance of cricket in England and Wales. This ECB Anti-Discrimination Code (the Code) is part of the ECB’s continuing efforts to maintain the integrity, diversity and inclusivity of cricket. The ECB aims to create an environment within cricket in England and Wales in which no individual, group or organisation experiences discrimination or acts in a discriminatory manner on the basis of a Protected Characteristic (as defined in the Equality Act 2020 from time to time – which at the time of writing are age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation). This Code therefore sets out discriminatory behaviour which, when carried out by a participant who is required to comply with it, will be a breach of the Code and may be sanctioned accordingly. All Participants (as defined below) agree by virtue of their involvement in cricket in England and Wales to be bound by this Code and submit to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the relevant body which applies to them. All County Cricket Boards, First Class Counties, the National Counties, leagues, clubs and other organisations under the jurisdiction of the ECB or its Members must adopt and enforce the Code. Participants who are party to an ECB agreement and/or in receipt of ECB funding may be obliged, as a condition of those agreements or funding, to comply with or adopt the Code and/or enforce the provisions of the Code through their own processes.

  • Sussex Cricket Interim Strategic
    Over the last 12 months there have been announcements of some significant changes to the landscape of English cricket, which will have consequential impact on Sussex Cricket. The most significant change has been the launching by the ECB of the new ‘hundred’ ball per team competition based on 8 ‘city’ franchises, which will start in 2020. This followed a new broadcast deal agreed with Sky and the BBC for all English international and domestic cricket for the period 2020 to 2024. The Board of Directors of Sussex Cricket Limited has been working closely with the ECB over the past year to ensure that the 18 First Class Counties are protected going forward and that there is not the creation of 8 super counties on the back of the new competition. A new County Partnership Agreement (CPA) is being negotiated, which will govern the relationship between the ECB and the counties in respect of both the professional (performance) and recreational (community) aspects, for the period 2020 to 2024. There is also a cross game working party looking at the structure of the domestic season to try to find a better solution for the County Championship. Keith Greenfield, our Director of Cricket has been invited onto this group. The intention is to devise a new season structure, which protects the long-term future of the County Championship as well as the County T20 Blast competition and the One Day Cup. This is not an easy process to fit in with the new competition and all of the international cricket matches, which are vital to future revenues for the development of cricket.
