Tt is possible to play on an ordinary lawn with an inexpensive croquet set. The typical USCA competition game is played with higher-quality equipment on the flattest lawn with the shortest grass available (resembling a grass carpet, golf putting green or lawn bowling green). Look for a croquet set that has sturdy rectangular wickets, mallets sized for adults (about three feet high), and heavy, solid balls. A 9-wicket croquet set can be modified for 6-wicket games. ~►n Outline of the Game. Unified Golf Croquet is played between teams: blue and black balls versus red and yellow balls.

  • “What Would an Athenian Have Thought of the Day's Play?”: C.L.R. James's Early Cricket Writings for the Manchester Guard
    “What would an Athenian have thought of the day’s play?”: C.L.R. James’s early cricket writings for The Manchester Guardian Christian Høgsbjerg* University College London Institute of the Americas, UK *Email: [email protected] In April 1933 the young Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside the famous critic Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian, writing nearly 140 brief reports for the newspaper over the next three seasons. Cardus’s appointment of a newly-arrived British colonial subject like James to such a prestigious post remains quite remarkable. James’s job meant he travelled widely for the first time across England reporting on county clashes, and he began to develop his distinctive philosophy on the game. This article offers the first critical excavation of James’s cricket writing in these early years and thereby examines the future author of Beyond a Boundary’s first engagement with “English cricket” as a popular dimension of imperial metropolitan culture. It argues that James’s political radicalization towards militant anti-colonialist and anti-capitalist activism in Britain during this critical period found expression in his cricket writing. Keywords: C.L.R. James; Beyond a Boundary; Cricket; the Caribbean; Neville Cardus; The Manchester Guardian. In April 1933 the young black Trinidadian writer C.L.R. James started work alongside Neville Cardus as a cricket correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. According to Paul Buhle (1993), James’s authorized biographer, this made James “the first West Indian, the first man of colour, to serve as cricket reporter for the Guardian” (42), and indeed possibly the first black professional sports reporter in British history.

CUMULATIVE SCORE • Use one stroke to cross off each incident of runs scored. • When more than one run is scored and the total is taken onto the next row of the cumulator this should be indicated as shown below. Cumulative Run Tally 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 END OF OVER SCORE • At the end of each over enter the total score, number of wickets fallen and bowler number.
