[email protected] DSM Produce the Feethams Flyer for Darlington CC 2 Three of the Best from the Sub Continent at Feethams Ajay Jadeja—Rajastan, Darlington and India An exuberant batsman, and an incorrigible charmer off the field, Ajay Jadeja entered international cricket with an infectious effervescence that won hearts and matches - but left behind an eerie trail of bookmaker connections and unan- swered questions. A protégé of Kapil Dev, Jadeja's natural athleticism, ener- getic running between wickets, audacious big-hitting and winning smile were made for the floodlit age. His bustling, street-smart batsman ship in the middle and closing overs swung many one-dayers India's way, none more emphatically than the 1996 World Cup quarter-final against Pakistan, when he blasted 45 off 25 balls. But his obvious vulnerability against genuine pace and swing restricted his Test appearances to 15, and his career was halted in December 2000 by a five-year ban following damaging, though inconclusive, findings in a CBI inquiry on match-fixing. While Jadeja contested the ban, he found an even more glam- orous vocation meanwhile: acting. In November 2004 his plea seeking permis- sion to play international cricket was dismissed by the Delhi High Court after no one ap- peared on his behalf when the petition was taken up for hearing. However, a Division Bench subsequently permitted him to play domestic cricket and Jadeja returned to Delhi, where he was made captain. In September 2005 he took on a double role as captain and coach of Rajasthan. He also dabbles in cricket commentary. Ajay the father of the current Jadeja in the Indian squad played one season in 1994 for Darlington as overseas pro. He had the ability top bat for long periods and also bowl both seam and offspin. Ajay (right) pictured with Pakistani International Wasim Akram (left) Masood Anwar last league champion pro for Darlington “Mas” was professional for Darlington for two seasons. He also went to Stockton and Hartlepool after us. An orthodox left arm spinner and batsman, he played one Test for Pakistan He was the last Pro to help us to a league title back in 1990 Two centuries and 5 fifties for Darlington with the bat and 156 league wickets in two seasons are an amazing stat. For half the season in 1991 he was injured and ill with malaria but came back that season to take 8– wickets! Mas is still involved with cricket and is on facebook and twitter if anyone wants to keep in touch. World Class Leg Spinner—Mushtaq Ahmed at Feethams! A bubbly, chubby leg spinner with googlies aplenty, Mushtaq Ahmed is styled on his hero Abdul Qadir, whom he succeeded in the team. He is a match winner with a full house of legspin variations. At his best he is not far behind Shane Warne, but he does not get the in-drift and rip that makes Warne unique and he gets less bounce because of a lower arm. He is a compact though not especially competent batsman who fends too gingerly to hint at permanency at the crease. Mushtaq has also suffered the vagaries of the Pakistan system. But his enthusi- asm remains undimmed, despite being out of the team since a poor run of form in 2000-01. Some of his most memorable performances have been away from home, in England and Australia, and he played a key role in propelling Imran's Tigers to World Cup glory, memorably snaring Graeme Hick with one of his googlies. In 2003 he became the first bowler in five years to take 100 wickets in the English season, a return which was instrumental in guiding Sussex to the “Mushy” Mushtaq Ahmed first Championship title in their history, a feat he and they repeated in 2006 and the legendary leg spin the following season. However, he put his future with the county at risk by sign- bowler and a pro at ing with the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League. Persistent knee trouble forced Feethams. him to retire from first-class cricket towards the end of the 2008 season and he Although now a strictly was quickly snapped up by the ECB as England's spin-bowling coach. “Mushy” religious Muslim he en- played as replacement pro for Masood Anwar in 1991 at Darlington.

Still England bowling coach 3 Simon Davis—Another Darlington Test Playing Professional Simon Peter Davis (born 8 November 1959, Brighton, Victoria) is a former Austra- lian cricketer who played in one Test match and 39 ODIs from 1986 to 1988. Davis played Minor Counties cricket for Durham in 1982 and 1983, once taking 7-32 for them in the Nat West Trophy one day competition. Davis made his debut for Victoria in 1983–84. He impressed as an economical medium-fast in-swing bowler and, after the Australian team lost several players to theSouth African rebel tours, was called into the Australian one-day team for the 1985– 86 World Series Cup, taking 2 for 30 on debut against New Zealand. Davis had a superb series, finishing with 18 wick- ets (second only to Kapil Dev with 20) at an aver- age of 16.61, the best in the series, conceding 2.93 runs per over. He excelled in the finals against India taking 3 for 10 in the first final in Sydney when defending just 170 and 1 for 23 from 10 overs in the second final in Melbourne. Davis played his only Test at the Basin Re- serve in Wellington, New Zealand in February 1986, bowling 25 overs, taking 0 for 70 and scoring a duck in his only innings. Legends From Feethams—Simon Davis, Prahran, Darlington, Victoria, Durham CCC and Aus- Davis's economical reputation was damaged when during the Benson & Hedges Challenge in Perth in Janu- ary 1987, England all-rounder Ian Botham hit him for 26 runs in an over. Davis regained his place in the Aus- tralian One-day team midway through the 1986–87 World Series Cup and played 15 more One-day matches for Australia, ending his career in the Bicentennial One-day match in Melbourne in February 1988. He was regarded as a poor batsman and his First-class run tally of 98 is exceeded by his First-class wicket tally of 124. For Darlington he was professional in 1982 and 1983 and lodged with James Dobson’s granddad and also with Jimmy Robinson. A popular Aussie, the first antipodean to pro for us.

Simon was followed by Andy Scott, even quicker paceman who has since sadly died after committing suicide in Australia and William Johnson a left arm seamer and another Aussie teacher. As of 2006, Simon teaches Mathematics at the Sunshine Coast Grammar School in Queensland 4 For Our Youngsters—Did You Know This About Your Club? 43 players have represented Durham County Cricket Club but only three of them have been since the county became first class in 1992. They were Andy Fothergill (1982-1994), Rob Lawrence(1995) and Nicky Hatch(2001) We have employed some great pros at Feethams, some have played for English counties, some first class around the world. Several have actually been Test Match players. Pakistan - Masood Anwar, Mushtaq Ahmed (now the England spin bowl- ing coach) , Tariq Aziz, India - Abey Kuruvilla, Ajay Jadeja (the father of the Jadeja currently in the Indian team) Australia - Simon Davis and Bangladesh - Rajin Saleh.

  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 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. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media.
