TIM CURTIS Tim made his debut for Worcestershire against Sri Lanka in 1979. This was his only appearance for that year. University studies at Durham and Cambridge limited his opportunities but after gaining a ‘blue’ at Cambridge in 1983 he became a regular in the County side. He opened the innings and scored runs on a regular basis. His consistency at the top of the order was eventually rewarded with 2 Tests against the touring West Indies in 1988. The following season he played in 3 Tests against the Australians. Unfortunately he could not reproduce his county form in any of the matches. It was during these two years that Tim played an important part in Worcestershire winning the County Championship. He averaged over 40 in both seasons and played his part in many match-winning partnerships. During his career he had many high scoring partnerships, particularly with Graeme Hick, e.g. 264 v Somerset; 193 v Leicester; 258 v Middlesex and 232 v Surrey. In 1991 he took over the captaincy from Phil Neale. During his reign the Refuge Cup was won at Old Trafford and the Nat West Trophy at Lords in 1994. By scoring 248 v Somerset at Worcester he achieved the highest ever score by a Worcestershire captain. The press often criticised his one day batting but his partnerships with Ian Botham and Tom Moody were responsible for some fine starts. At the end of his career he had shared 33 century partnerships in the Sunday League – a figure only equalled by Graham Gooch. In total he scored over 20000 First Class runs at an average of over 40; scoring 43 hundreds and 103 fifties. Not bad for a player who supposedly played ‘across the line’ too often! After leaving Worcester he took up a teaching post at his old school – Worcester Royal Grammar. .

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.

Stourbridge Cricket Society www.sdcs.councilcricketsocieties.com A Member of the Council of Cricket Societies Autumn 2010 From the Chair With autumn just around the corner and the final cricket fixtures fast approaching, may I welcome you all back; members, new members and potential new members to what we, your Committee, believe will be a full and very int eresting winter of cricket evenings. Terry has once again prepared a programme for us which I believe will be a little bit special and will certainly maintain our high standards, encouraging int eresting debate amongst us all. This has been a season when England have won a World Trophy, two Test series, two One- day series and a Twenty 20 series as I write, yet it has been a sorry mess of a summer tarnished by scandal, an unfathomable fixture list and dwindling crowds. Thrown into the mix are overseas players dropping into county sides for a few games and moving on – what are the ECB playing at? The two Division County Championship system seems to be working well. Warwickshire’s new building wo rk should be complete by the middle of next year and what a magnificent pavilion that will be, lets hope they remain in Division One. Worcestershire without doubt have improved and are now starting to win games compared with the position they found thems elves in last year. The introduction of young players owes a lot to the belief and hard work of Steve Rhodes and others behind the scenes. Clubs locally seem to lack consistency, relying too often on overseas players.
