  • Gloucestershire Vs Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast – South Group the Bristol County Ground, Bristol Sunday 4Th August Delray Rawl
    Gloucestershire vs Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast – South Group The Bristol County Ground, Bristol Sunday 4th August Delray Rawlins hit a superb unbeaten 35 as Sussex Sharks secured a three-wicket victory over Gloucestershire at the Bristol County Ground with two balls remaining. Gloucestershire players protested in vain when they incurred a six-run penalty for a slow over-rate, leaving the visitors to score seven off the final over. Rawlins then kept his cool to knock off the winning runs, finishing with five fours and a six from a 17-ball innings which ultimately proved decisive. Ian Cockbain had earlier scored 61 not out, sharing in stands of 67 and 38 with James Bracey and Benny Howell for the third and sixth wickets respectively as the hosts raised 159-6 after being put in. Having successfully chased to beat South Group leaders Kent by nine wickets in their previous outing, Sussex again elected to field first. That looked a good decision once new-ball bowlers Ollie Robinson and Reece Topley accounted for openers Miles Hammond and Michael Klinger in quick time as Gloucestershire's top-order again fell short of expectations. Gloucestershire enjoyed a much-needed stroke of luck when James Bracey was dropped at cover point on one by Rashid Khan off the bowling of Chris Jordan. He certainly made good his escape, posting 30 from 26 balls and staging a restorative stand of 67 in 9.1 overs with Cockbain for the third wicket. Sussex deployed spinners Khan and Danny Briggs in tandem in an attempt to stem the flow of runs, a ploy which accounted for Bracey and the dangerous Ryan Higgins and caused Gloucestershire to lose crucial momentum during the middle overs.

  • SCHOOLS REVIEW 2015 by Douglas Henderson Wicket-Keepers Get A
    SCHOOLS REVIEW 2015 by Douglas Henderson Wicket-keepers get a pretty raw deal as there are no statistics to show their keeping skills. However, when a wicket-keeper has far more more stumpings than catches, that really is something. George Lavelle, of Merchant Taylors’, Crosby, was still only in Year 10 but after three years in the XI he has taken 40 stumpings to 32 catches. He was captain of Lancashire Under-15s (champion county) and has won several awards. He would probably also have scored 1000 runs had he not being playing for his club on several Saturdays. Clearly a name to watch. Not many cricketers read the Laws of the game. The Spirit of Cricket is admittedly only a pre-amble rather than part of the actual Laws; in a woolly sense it is (part of the Laws) because Law 42 says that The responsibility lies with the captains for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit and traditions of the game, as described in The Preamble – The Spirit of Cricket, as well as within the Laws. Anyway, the Spirit of the Game describes it as “cheating” or “sharp practice” to seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side (my emphasis). Many people, admittedly of an older generation, can’t bear watching schools cricket any more because of the nonsense that nowadays goes with it: ludicrous noise, clapping, shouting, everybody called Buddy or Fella, wides applauded with cries of “well bowled”, catches greeted as if you’ve just won the football World Cup etc etc.

When the Exiles were formed in June 1971, the first newsletter was three type-written pages of A4 sent to members in August of that year. Nigel Dean has reviewed all the issues and the bulk of this 100th issue is given over to Nigel’s wonderful, evocative synthesis of highlights from numbers one to ninety-nine. Ron Lev has cast his mind back to the early days of the Exiles and Outside-edge to tell us of the many characters involved in producing our much-loved publication. Our former Editors, Mark Brunt and Howard Allen, reflect on their involvement and Chris Bell adds his appreciation. Roger Gibbons has written another of his wonderful articles, this time bringing to our attention the splendid GCCC Museum and Learning Centre.

  • Outside-Edge Issue 104 Autumn 2019
    Outside-edge Issue 104 Autumn 2019 The magazine of the Gloucestershire Exiles News and views on and about Gloucestershire County Cricket Club Congratulations all round Welcome to the Autumn 2019 issue of Outside-edge Editorial A remarkable season for cricket with headlines on the front pages for the first time in many years. The game hasn’t enjoyed such a high profile since Botham’s summer in 1981. The World Cup was a resounding success with exciting games and colourful, packed crowds all the way to the incredible conclusion at Lord’s. As we know only too well, 50-over cricket can provide great entertainment with games swinging to and fro but there has been little to match the drama of the last few overs of the final. An England victory in such a manner has been a significant boost for our game. If that wasn’t enough, there was more nail-biting cricket to follow in the Ashes series. The England cricket squad could be forgiven for focussing their attentions on the one-day format and did seem to have problems in transferring skills to five day test matches but they did muster themselves for some memorable performances. What a character Ben Stokes is! His off-field misdemeanours may be reprehensible (past ‘bad boys’ rarely ran the risk of having their behaviour caught on camera, of course!) but he is a remarkable cricketer. I was lucky enough to be in Cape Town to watch his splendid innings of 250 but even this was eclipsed by his superhuman efforts this summer.

You will find the following files: • Video and audio files of Ollie Pope’s interview • Images via (Getty pooled photography) DOWNLOAD HERE Please credit - England and Wales Cricket Board. Day Three Match Report Scorecard England's final preparations for the long-awaited return of Test cricket were boosted on and off the field on Friday, with Sam Curran testing negative for Covid-19 and a handful of key batsmen spending important time at the crease. Curran's all-clear was perhaps the most important development of the day, removing the need for a fresh examination of the much-discussed 'bio-secure bubble' at the Ageas Bowl ahead of Wednesday's #raisethebat series opener against the West Indies. The all-rounder emerged from self-isolation in his hotel room to take in the final session of a drawn internal clash between Team Stokes and Team Buttler, during which five of England's likeliest top six enjoyed valuable workouts. The game finished with Stokes' side 157 for four in a nominal chase of 255 – the final equation having only been set up by Jos Buttler's second declaration. Now it is over to the selectors to fill in the blanks, with a 22-man squad due to be named on Saturday morning, cutting eight names from the original training group of 30.
