  • 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.

From Ithe day I joined the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s elite panel in 2008, two years after I stood in my first international at the Oval, I trained for every game, and in particular Test matches, in pretty much the same way and certainly with a bit more professionalism than when I played for England back in the 1980s when warm-ups usually consisted of a few laps of the outfield and some stretches with the physio Bernard Thomas, who was the equivalent of a modern-day strength and conditioning coach back then. Two days before the game started, I would go down to the ground, dump my gear in the umpires’ 17 GUNNER: MY LIFE IN CRICKET room, wander over to the nets and stand at one end during each team’s practice and just observe. When you think about it, it’s an obvious thing to do. The international game moves so quickly these days that when I began a new series in a different country there were invariably bowlers and batsmen who I had not come across before.

  • Has the Response to Australian Test Cricketers' Ball- Tampering Been an Over-Reaction?
    Has the response to Australian test cricketers' ball- tampering been an over-reaction? What they said... 'Our cricketers are role models and cricket is synonymous with fair play. How can our team be engaged in cheating like this? It beggars belief' Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull 'The jump to hysteria is something that has elevated the offence beyond what they actually did...' Former Australian test cricket fast bowler, Shane Warne The issue at a glance On Saturday, March 24, 2018, Australian opener, Cameron Bancroft, was caught by South African cameramen tampering with the ball during the third day of the third test between South Africa and Australia. Later that day, team captain, Steven Smith, and Bancroft gave interviews stating that attempts had been made to alter the ball using tape. On March 25, the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, condemned the Australian cricketers' actions. March 26: Cricket Australia (CA) officials travelled to South Africa to investigate. March 27: Smith, Bancroft and vice-captain, David Warner, were sent home from the tour. CA stated they were the only individuals who knew of the plan to alter the condition of the ball. March 28: CA handed Smith and Warner one-year bans from international and domestic cricket. Bancroft was suspended for nine months, while Warner will not be considered for any leadership roles in future. James Sutherland, CEO of CA, stated that the team coach, Darren Lehmann, knew nothing of the plan. It was confirmed Bancroft used sandpaper and not tape, as they had initially claimed, on the ball. March 29: Lehmann confirmed he will resign from his post after the fourth Test.
