  • Arthur Morris by TONY STEPHENS Aug
    A legend and a gentleman - Arthur Morris By TONY STEPHENS Aug. 24, 2015, 9:37 p.m. Arthur Morris 1922-2015 ARTHUR Morris didn’t mind being overshadowed by Don Bradman; sometimes he even enjoyed it. Occasionally asked what he was doing when Bradman, in his last Test innings, was famously bowled for a duck, Morris would say he was at The Oval, London, in 1948. Doing what? ‘‘Playing. I was up the other end.’’ How did Arthur go? ‘‘I managed 196.’’ Morris died on Saturday. He managed to help that Australian team, called The Invincibles, to win that Test and the series, 4-0. In the previous Test, at Leeds, Morris managed 182 in a 301-run partnership with Bradman, helping Australia to chase 404 runs for victory in 345 minutes. He had helped Bradman, then troubled by Denis Compton’s bowling, by hitting the Englishman out of the attack. The partnership brought the then highest winning fourth-innings Test score. Morris hit three centuries and three more fifties in the 1948 Tests, to top the averages with 87; Bradman’s average was 72.57. Wisden named Morris one of the ‘‘cricketers of the year’’. Neville Cardus wrote: ‘‘Morris played pedigree cricket; blue-blood aristocracy.’’ And: ‘‘Morris was once more beyond praise – masterful, stylish, imperturbable, sure in defence, quick and handsome in stroke play. His batting is true to himself, charming and good mannered but reliant and thoughtful.’’ Other distinguished English cricket writers shared Cardus’ admiration. E.W. Swanton wrote: ‘‘Few more charming men have played for Australia and I cannot name one who was more popular with his opponents.’’ John Arlott said of Morris: ‘‘One of the best-liked cricketers of all time – charming, philosophical and relaxed.’’ Captain Bradman said: ‘‘He wasn’t always straight in defence.

West Indies 1960-61 Summer Tour PRELUDE TO THE 1960 - 61 WEST INDIES TOUR Fifty years ago, international cricket had a much different formula. Five-day Tests were the only vehicle for competition - one-day play was not yet even a figment of commercial imagination. There was no television in Australia, radio and newspapers providing the only media coverage. Overseas teams toured in every second season, on average, with interest focused on the Sheffield Shield competition in between times. Thus opportunities for seeing leading overseas players in action were limited. England and Australia ruled unchallenged as the leading Test nations and series between the two, for the right to hold the mythical Ashes, were regarded as the ultimate contest. Fixtures with the other Test-playing nations of the day - South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan - were considered of secondary importance and they were granted only occasional tours. Apart from England (three series), only West Indies and South Africa (one series each) played Tests in Australia during the 1950s.

  • Steve O'shaughnessy
    STEVE O’SHAUGHNESSY Steve was born in Bury in 1961 and played 1st Class cricket for Lancashire and Worcestershire. He also played Minor Counties cricket for Cumberland. In his 1st class career he scored 3720 runs at an average of 24 with 5 centuries and took 114 wickets at an average of 36 with 4 for 66 his best bowling analysis. In one day cricket he scored 2999 runs and took 115 wickets. Prior to his 1st class career Steve represented Young England on tour in the West Indies and at home against India. Steve made his debut for Lancashire in 1980 in a John Player Sunday League match versus Warwickshire and three days later his 1st class debut at The Parks against Oxford University. Here he made 50 not out and took 2 catches in an emphatic win. From 1981 to 1987 he was a regular in the Lancashire side. In 1983 he made his first century – 100 not out versus Yorkshire – but 1984 was to be his most successful season with the bat. He passed 1000 runs for the season and scored three hundreds – the highest being 159 not out against Somerset at Bath. An unusual incident occurred on the last day of the 1983 season. Lancashire were playing Leicestershire and rain delayed the start by a day and a half. On the final day, facing David Gower (0‐102) and James Whittaker (0‐ 87), Steve and Graeme Fowler both scored centuries. Fowler in 46 mins but Steve’s was in 35 mins!! This won him the Walter Lawrence Trophy for the fastest century of the season and also was equal to Percy Fender’s all time record set in 1920.
