No.35 January 2015 SASCA News #35 This Issue President’s Report & SASCA News Calendar: Future Events For the record: Match reports & Recent Events SASCA Merchandise Who’s who: Meet SASCA Members Now & then: Milestones, Memories and Moments Contacts The Back Pages; Letter to the editor; *********************************************************************************************** President’s Report Hi All, Trust that all of you have had a Happy and Safe Christmas time with your family and that Father Christmas did the right thing by you. We were quiet as half my family were in Canada enjoying [?] a Christmas day of 26 below. This Christmas coming will be an exciting experience for us as we hope to be in Mumbai for a wedding the day before Christmas. See what happens. Now that we are in the New Year I am sure that you have found an oval or something to work off the kilos. Roy will be able to advise us on the virtues of having a sweat track just outside his back door. We have had some proposals over the holiday period regarding the National Championships and as these become clearer I shall put this information out to you. For future planning we need to start to gather numbers for the Hobart Nationals so please give it some thought. The dates are from the 15th to the 20th November. Play will be on the Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The Meet and Greet will be on the Sunday and the Presentation Dinner on the Friday. I can assure you that the organisers will have learnt from Melbourne and those who went to Launceston will testify as to the excellent quality of organisation. I am sure that you are looking forward to restarting the programme and enjoying the events to come. Keep fit and see you soon; take care. Namaste Chris Tobin SASCA News SA Seniors Cricket January 2015 1 Next Committee Meeting: The Committee meets again on Monday the 2nd February 2015 at 7.00pm at the Royal Hotel, Kent Town and at 6.00pm for a meal ************************************************************************* Feedback from Melbourne Nationals George Healey reports that he enjoyed compiling the thoughts of those who participated in the feedback. George advises that our feedback to Victoria, suggestions for future Australian Championships and recommendations for the conduct/selection of our teams seem to be the three areas of interest. Doug Turbill, Chris Tobin and George have now met and considered the information and Chris has circulated their first position to the committee for discussion at the next meeting. ************************************************************************* Mid-week Cricket: anyone interested? YES We have 14 names of potential mid week players, which probably means we could have a game. More names would be appreciated. Jim Curtis is going to ask about pitch availability at Marion. If anyone else has access or knowledge of other ovals please let me know. Colin Paech informed me Tuesday may be the better day for groundsmen preparing wickets. George Healey If you are interested in playing mid-week cricket and have not yet put your name down, please advise George Healey [email protected] ******************************************************** SASCA News Thanks again to the members who have contributed to this issue: Kevin Shepley, George Healey, Chris Tobin, Don Tanner, Michael Willson, Bob Wilton, John McTier for his photos, and Brian Kerin for the first letter to the editor, and the members appearing in the Who’s Who pages. This month, for the first time, we introduce two ‘youngsters’ in Who’s Who. SACA Members who have been to the Adelaide Oval recently may have noticed the larger than life-size photograph of 4 South Australian players of the late 1890’s at the rear of the Members’ Stand, southern end. Who were the four players? (Answer: see page 7 & find a 5 question quiz about the 4 players). SASCA News SA Seniors Cricket January 2015 2 The Calendar.

O/60 & O/70 details tbc November 2015 Nationals at Hobart SASCA tour of NZ February 2014. The touring party leaves early February for what promises to be a great tour on and off the field. The first destination and scene of the two opening matches is Auckland. The third game is in Rotorua, which is all well and good apart from the problem that the touring party has to get from Auckland to the Rotorua ground having played the day before in Auckland. Rotorua is well over 200 kms from Auckland. The communication regarding the problem between George H and his Rotorua counterpart, Graeme, gives an idea of what the tour promises. Graeme’s advice went something like this: “Auckland to Rotorua is about an hour and a half. If your team is disciplined you can leave Auckland at 7:30am and be here ready to play at 10 - 10:30. If you leave at 9 we will still have lots of time. If you leave later we can shorten the game. In any event get here for the cold beers after the game.” Good luck to the team. Enjoy the tour. Return safely. Help Sought The ATCA is looking to update some historic stats and is asking for some help in identifying the first names of the following players. If you could help please forward the relevant information to [email protected] I Clift (West Lakes) Merv Kowald (Elizabeth Districts) D Marshall (Old Collegians) David Lee (RCP) J Pink (Sturt) R Austin (Rosewater) D Page (Ferryden Park) J Heap (TTG) T Davis (ANI) D Sladden (Old Collegians) M Howie (Edwardstown) SASCA News SA Seniors Cricket January 2015 3 For the Record. Recent results and events Match reports December 2014 SASCA 2014/15 Zone Competition Round 3 December 7 For the Second time this season all four teams competed at Marion but on this occasion both matches commenced in the afternoon after the monthly Marion market had packed up. Pitches were good and the weather was conducive to good cricket. The results were good for the competition – the two teams which lost at Marion on the season’s opening day won on this occasion meaning that at the half way mark of the Zone season all 4 teams are in contention for the finals: East and Fleurieu have 2 wins each and North and South West have a win apiece. Fleurieu v North. Marion Main Oval North 7/142 G. Quinn 34 ret, C. Tobin 25, M. Willson 20 K. Shepley 2/12 Defeated by Fleurieu 5/143 G. Bilney 31 ret, P. Ifould 30 ret, G. Fielke 28, G. Clifford 22 n.o. G. Quinn 2/17, R. Regej 2/24 North won the toss, elected to batted and made 7/142 off the allotted 40 overs. Chris Tobin and Michael Willson opened the batting and were kept in check by some good bowling by Stuart Shepley and Jock Wheaton. However they did punish the odd loose ball. Michael was out eventually for 20 lofting a catch to mid-off of fStuart. Chris was out lbw for a well-compiled 27 when first change bowler Craig Martin came on. Greg Quinn and Graeme Madden posed a threat to the coastal visitors but found it hard to quicken the scoring rate against some very tight bowling from Craig, Rob Colwell and Kevin Shepley. Graeme in attempting to break the shackles holed out at mid on where Trevor Connor took a well-judged catch. Greg eventually retired on 34 and whilst it was a very good knock he didn’t get them at the speed he is accustomed to. Tom Paris retired on 12 and Robert Regej was 17 not out at the end. It was a competitive total at 142 but maybe not enough against Fleurieu’s batting. Fleurieu openers Graeme Fielke and Gary Bilney started slowly and were watchful against some tidy bowling from Quinn and Ian Herbert but once they were settled they went on with it. Fielke was out for 28 caught in slips off Regej and for the second match in a row Bilney retired when passing 30. When Kevin Shepley and Craig Martin went cheaply, North were right back in the game., Eden and Regej bowling well. Then Stuart Shepley 14 and Peter Ifould retiring on 30 swung the game back in Fleurieu’s favour. Rob Colwell batted steady for 11 at one end whilst newcomer Graham Clifford of 5 balls hit 4 fours and six to wrap up the game with eight overs to spare. East v South West Marion Oval No. 2 East 91 Field 3/16, J. White 2/13 defeated by South West 4 for 98 SASCA News SA Seniors Cricket January 2015 4 G. Stagg 35 ret, G. Field 23. On the basis of performances to date the last game of the first half of the Zone competition looked to be one-sided: an unbeaten East playing a winless South-West, but the current holders were determined to turn the season around and made a number of changes.

  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • 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.

    JACK MARSH HISTORY LECTURE 2015 Written and delivered by Gideon Haigh Sydney Cricket Ground Wednesday 21 January 2015 JackHISTORY Marsh LECTURE “When he came he (2 opened the windows of the mind to a new vision of what batting could be” How Victor Trumper Changed Cricket Forever (1) My title, which seems to combine Aldous Huxley’s doors (1) Feline tribute: Gideon with his cat ‘Trumper’ of perception with Dusty Springfield’s windmills of your mind, is actually from a rather less exotic source, Johnnie Moyes. The journalist and broadcaster Moyes may be unique in tightness of affiliation with both Victor Trumper and Donald Bradman: he was an opponent of the former, a biographer of the latter, a friend and idolator of both. He also links the man in whose name tonight’s inaugural lecture has been endowed. Six-year-old Moyes first met Trumper one summer evening in December 1900 when his father, a schoolteacher, invited the visiting New South Wales team to their home in Adelaide. In The Changing Face of Cricket, Moyes recalled that he was at first less taken by Trumper than by his teammate Jack Marsh: “I do not remember now whether I had seen a coloured man, but certainly I hadn’t seen one who was playing first-class (2) Iconic image: the photo that began the Trumper legend cricket, and Marsh fascinated me. What a grand bowler he must have been!” It was only a few weeks later that Trumper and Marsh participated in the Federation Sports Carnival, finishing first and second in the competition for throwing a cricket ball here.
