  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate
    ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE Victor Trumper, The Oval, 1902 “Trumper will always remain for your true Australian the greatest batsman that ever lived… Trumper’s winged batsmanship was seen in the Golden Age of cricket, at his finest, master of some of the greatest bowlers the game has known. When he played for Australia, Clem Hill, Monty Noble, Syd Gregory and Warwick Armstrong were batsmen with him. Splendid as the cricket of these men might be, day after day, whenever Trumper got out the light seemed to go for a while from an Australian innings. The eagle is gone and now-crows and daws. We make an artist’s immortality by thinking upon and loving his work, Trumper was an artist cricketer; let him live again in the mouths of men whenever Test matches are in action. Since he accomplished some of his greatest innings in this land, English cricket owes much to his ghost…” “The Summer Game”, Sir Neville Cardus, 1929. He was Australia’s greatest batsman of the “Golden Age of Cricket” and like Sir Donald Bradman during the Great Depression years, a national hero to Australians during a time of severe economic hardship at the close of the Nineteenth century. He died tragically at the age of just 37 years in 1915, while his homeland was locked in deadly conflict at Gallipoli and the Western front. All Australia mourned. Some of his greatest accolades came from English writers. Below, a poignant entry in the death registers of New South Wales for 1915, recording the death of Victor Trumper, from “chronic parenchymatous nephritis” and “uraemic convulsions”.

  • The Value of Don Bradman: Additional Revenue in Australian Ashes Tests
    Economic Papers Vol23 No. 4 December 2004 pp. 369-385 THE VALUE OF DON BRADMAN: ADDITIONAL REVENUE IN AUSTRALIAN ASHES TESTS JULIAN BLACKHAM AND BRUCE CHAPMAN* One way to understand the value of sporting ‘superstars’ is to examine the effect they have on match attendances and revenue. Arguabb, the most famous sports star in Australia was Sir Donald Bradman, whose batting average has far exceeded that of any cricket player. This paper examines the value of Don Bradman by estimating an empirical model of the effect of Bradman on cricket match attendances for Ashes Test matches in Australia. The attendance effect-f over 7,000 additional people each day on which he battedis then used to derive an estimate of the effect on revenue. We find that Bradman generated considerable additional revenue, though the range of the estimates is very large. The Australian Cricket Board, as the monopoly supplier of cricket, was able to obtain all the extra proceeds. Keywords: Consumer economics, Monopoly, Wages and compensation, Professional labour markets and occupations JEL Codes: D12, D42,53,544 “As far as Australian crowds were concerned, the real objective was Bradman . [In 1936-19371 it was discovered as a fact that if Bradman was dismissed cheaply in the morning, the expected receipts in the afternoon fell by some 2,000 pounds” Rosenwater (1978 p. 252). Respectively Visitor and Professor, Economics Program, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University. We are grateful to Jim Chapman for data collection, Alastair Fischer and Robert Maloney for input into a similar earlier exercise, and to the late Sir Donald Bradman for feedback.

  • Victor Trumper (1877-1915)
    VICTOR TRUMPER (1877-1915) 88. THE BELDAM PHOTOGRAVURE This photogravure by George Beldam was published by the Swan Electric Engraving Company in 1905 but is based on a photograph taken at The Oval during the 1902 tour. It is surely the ultimate iconic image in cricket, rivaling even the face and beard of WG Grace. This is a fine example, printed on thick art paper with generous margins (image size 38cm x 30cm), framed and glazed in a period vintage frame and signed clearly by Trumper. The photogravure process was the pinnacle of techniques for fine art reproduction of a photograph. £1400 31 1 VICTOR TRUMPER’S LAST BAT Victor Trumper is arguably the most magical name in the history of Australian cricket. Even Bradman does not attract the awe and reverence reserved for the man who Archie MacLaren described in these words: “Myself, I was considered out of a good stable. They talked of my grand manner. Well, compared to Victor, I was an honest selling plater in the company of a Derby thoroughbred.” This Ashes year of 2015 sees not only a new breed of dashing Australian batsmen visit our cricket fields but also marks the hundredth anniversary since Trumper died at the heartrendingly early age of 37. Why was Trumper idolized so much at the time and why is he still remembered with such affection to this day? His batting, of course, was the core but it was not the weight of runs or size of his average that instilled such passions. Without being too trite, it was simply “the way he played the game”.

  • Jack Marsh Was Documented in the Book, “How Many More Are Coming ? the Short Life of Jack Marsh” by Max Bonnell
    Jac k Marsh (c.187 4 - 1916) NS W Cricketer (1900/0 1 - 1902/03) • Born into the Bundjalung people at Yulgilbar on the Clarence River in northern NSW. • Made his first impression in the sporting arena as a world class sprinter, following his brother Larry to the Sydney athletics tracks in 1893, and later winning races in Queensland and Victoria as a sprinter and hurdler. He covered 100 yards in 9.8 seconds which was equal to the world record, and therefore became the fastest man in Australia at the time. • While demonstrating his boomerang skills at La Perouse in Sydney, Marsh was spotted by cricket officials and was persuaded to take up the sport. • Began playing cricket in a competition based around Moore Park, representing South Sydney as a right-arm fast bowler of extreme pace, despite standing only 5 foot 7 inches (170cm). Following its merger with Paddington, Marsh played for the Sydney Cricket Club. • Gained prominence when he played for a Colts XV against the NSW state team in a trial match in November 1900. Marsh took the wickets of Test players Victor Trumper (for 1 run), Frank Iredale, Monty Noble and Syd Gregory, as well as future Test player Bert Hopkins, all on the first day. • He made his first class debut in December 1900 when he was selected for the NSW team to play South Australia at Adelaide Oval. In a high scoring match, he took 5/181, all clean bowled. However, almost from the beginning of his cricket career, his bowling action was a source of controversy.

  • The Cricketers of Hampstead Hockey Club the First 20 Years; 1894 to 1914
    THE CRICKETERS OF Hampstead and HAMPSTEAD Westminster Hockey Club HOCKEY CLUB The Men of the Eyre Arms and the first 20 years 1894 to 1914 The Cricketers of Hampstead Hockey Club The first 20 years; 1894 to 1914 The Cricketers of Hampstead Hockey Club The first 20 years; 1894 to 1914 Written and Produced for Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club 2015 by Ian Smith The Cricketers of Hampstead Hockey Club The first 20 years; 1894 to 1914 Note This account is an attempt to throw light, predominantly from a cricketing perspective, on the circumstances in which Hampstead Hockey Club evolved and the key individuals who oversaw its transformation from a hockey-playing section of Hampstead Cricket Club into a leading hockey club in England within a little more than a decade. It is certainly not intended as a record of the first twenty years of the club, as that has been covered more skilfully by club historian, Colin Greenhalgh. More is known of some of these individuals than others. The contents may therefore appear out of balance. Much is taken up with the exploits of Andrew Stoddart but without apology, as his was a remarkable sporting record that has remained virtually unparalleled and was a life that, like several of his sporting contemporaries, ended in tragic circumstances. His story was itself recorded in part in his own albums of cuttings that were thought to be preparatory to a memoir. That never materialised but the contents were taken up by his biographer, David Frith, who felt compelled to write because “here was a wonderful cricketer who has been piteously neglected by historians”.
