When the political ideal of each New Zealand party is to be just like the other, when governments can scheme with Oppositions not to bring up contro­ versial issues for fear of embarrassment, when party leaders can plead lack of education as a Receives worthy qualification for governing, and when standards of thought and debate are set by the level of small talk at a Ju-Nat social — occasions which seem to be the leading events in the Knighthood political calendar — it is easy to justify a blind eye on the grounds of intellectual integrity and Among those honoured by then retire to a wistful reading, in the '‘Herald,” of the latest news from Turkey or Japan. the Queen last month was the To become involved in politics in New Zealand is to attempt rive considerable satisfaction from Pro-Chancellor of the Univer­ the hopelessness of their cause,. sity of Auckland, Sir Douglas to swim, naked, through a mill-pond of thick, green slime.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down.

XI batted second and suffered a first innings deficitof 64 runs in favour of the Natal XI even though Richard Dumbrill had scored a sparkling 114 in a partnership of 127 with Lee Irvine. One the second day, the Old Boys team were then set a target of 188 runs to make in 150 minutes to win the match. The D.H.S.O.B. XI managed the runs in just 107 minutes, winning the game by three wickets. Goddard, Gamsy, Richards and Irvine would later play for SA against Australia in 1970 and so the D.H.S.O.B. XI of 1966 contained FIVE Springboks, ( Goddard; Hugh Tayfield; Griffin; Dumbrill and Wesley) and three others Gamsy, Irvine and Richard Swere later to become Springboks (making EIGHT in all). And Arthur Tayfield had been 12th Man for South Africa. There were three men in the DHS Old Boys Team who were wicket keepers at a high level: Gamsy, Irvine and Kaplan.

As with other areas of sport, Monash has encouraged elite cricketers as well as those wishing to participate for exercise, recreation and socialising. We believe that sport plays a special role in the broad educational and developmental experience at university and cricket has played a central role in this philosophy. Monash has been blessed with wonderful facilities at its Clayton Campus and engagement with the community outside Monash University has been facilitated by using these facilities to bring other teams and members of the general community on to the Campus. There have been many changes to the structure of cricket at Monash. The amalgamation of Monash University with the Chisholm Institute of Technology and with the Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education in the 1990s broadened its scope.

  • Biographies of Leading DHS Cricketers Jack Siedle
    Biographies of Leading DHS Cricketers Jack Siedle Ivan Julian "Jack" Siedle (11 January 1903 ‐ 24 August 1982) was a South African cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1927‐28 to 1935‐36. Family background and personal life Born on 11 January 1903 in Berea, Durban, Natal, Siedle was the youngest son of Otto Siedle, who was born in Woolwich, London of southern German stock and who trained as a watchmaker, subsequently emigrating to Durban where he became prominent in the shipping business and public affairs. Otto Siedle's wife Mary became deputy mayor of Durban. Jack's older brother Karl Siedle played first‐class cricket for Natal before the First World War, in which he was killed; his sister Perla Siedle Gibson became a well‐known singer and a symbol of her country during the Second World War. Siedle married Lesley Maud McPherson on 14 March 1931, with his cricket colleague Eric Dalton as best man. Their son, John Siedle (1932‐2008), played a few first‐class cricket matches for Natal and Western Province in the mid‐ 1950s. Early cricket career A right‐hander who played for Natal for 15 seasons from 1922‐23 to 1936‐37, Jack Siedle bowled occasionally and kept wicket just as infrequently, but his chief value to South Africa was as an opening batsman. He had had no great success when he was picked, in the 1923‐24 season, for the match that was the trial for the 1924 tour to England and the 56 he scored in his second innings there was his highest score to that point, as well as the top score for his side, but he was not picked for the tour.
