The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller Starts to Look at the Most Controversial Form of Dismissal
Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller starts to look at the most controversial form of dismissal Of the 40 wickets that fell in the match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan at Cheltenham that ended on 1st August 2010 as many as 18 of the victims were dismissed lbw. Was this, I wondered, a possible world record? Asking Philip Bailey to interrogate the files of Cricket Archive, I discovered that it was not: back in 1953/54 a match between Patiala and Delhi had seen 19 batsmen lose their wickets in this way. However, until the start of the 2010 season the record in English first-class cricket had stood at 17, but, barely credibly, Cheltenham had provided the third instance of a match with 18 lbws in the course of the summer. Gloucestershire had already been involved in one of these, against Sussex at Bristol, while the third occasion was the Sussex-Middlesex match at Hove. Was this startling statistic for 2010 an indication that leg before decisions are more freely given nowadays? It seemed to correlate with an impression that modern technology has given umpires a better feel for when a ball is likely to hit the wicket and that the days when batsmen could push forward and feel safe were now over. I determined to dig deeper and examine trends over time. This article confines itself to matches played in the County Championship since World War I. I propose looking at Tests in a future issue. The table below shows how the incidence of lbw dismissals has fluctuated over time.

Something to Look out for –
Something to look out for – Thousands of visitors are drawn to the village of Eyam by the poignant story of the plague and the sacrifices made by the villagers to halt the spread of the deadly disease. The former tailors cottage where it first broke out; the family graves of the victims; the Parish Church of St. Lawrence; the tomb of Catherine Mompesson, wife of the Rector who led the villagers in their brave fight against the plague; all of these are a must for the visitor to see. Many people miss another grave in the churchyard, which is of special note to the followers of cricket and those in search of unusual tombstones, that of a former sporting hero, Harry Bagshawe, who was the Dickie Bird of his day. Harry, christened Henry, Bagshaw was born at Foolow on September 1st 1859 and died at Crowden, near Glossop on 31st January 1927 aged 67. He first came to the attention of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1880, when he played for the Colts team, making his first-class debut in 1887. He is described as being a free-hitting batsman of well above the average; a medium paced bowler and hard working fielder in the slips. Batting left handed, but in other departments of the game he was right-handed. He became a stalwart of the team in the 1890's when he formed a successful opening partnership with L.G.Wright. In his career with Derbyshire he played in 123 matches, scoring 5413 runs at an average of 26.28, with a highest score of 127 not out against Yorkshire in 1895.

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.
