  • Monday 18 July, Page 13: GENTLEMEN V PLAYERS
    Wednesday 4 January, page 8: “WISDEN” AND THE L.-B.-W. RULE Cricketers have long learned to look to “Wisden” for something more than a mere dry return of the year’s work, and this winter they are treated to a very full discussion on one of cricket’s most debatable rules – the law as to leg before wicket. Not since the spirited controversy carried on in the columns of The Times on the following on “incident” in the University match at Lord’s in 1896 has there been such an authoritative discussion as is now presented to us in “Wisden.” It will be remembered that Mr E V Bligh proposed to amend the l-b-w rule to – “Or if, standing in the direct line between the two wickets, with any part of his person he stops the ball, which, in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s wicket would have hit the striker’s wicket – leg before wicket.” With considerable enterprise, the editor of “Wisden” sought the opinion of leading cricketers on the subject, and he has secured a wonderful harvest of interesting matter. Perhaps the abuse of the pads has called for some slight change in this particular law of the game, which might be so modified that an umpire should be able to place a wider construction on its lettering than he can do at present. Robert Thoms, the veteran Middlesex professional, lays it down that “The bat ought to play the ball that is about to hit the wicket, and in a spirit of fairness, if the bowler, by extra spin or break back, can beat the batsman, it seems but right that he should have the benefit of his skill .

    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.

  • 100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’
    1 Introduction Welcome to our second edition of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. I hope that you find it useful. You will find a range of walks suitable for exercise during the ‘lockdown’. They range in distance from 4 kms to 24 kms and most are on good, waymarked paths. Each starts and finishes at The Poppy and Pint – a well-known landmark and conveniently close to where I live! From the Poppy and Pint, you will need to either make your way to The Hook by the River Trent via Mona Road, or to the Grantham Canal, via Rutland Road, where most of the walks ensue. Of course, you don’t really have to start or finish at the Poppy and Pint. However, when it’s open again, James, the manager, will be very pleased to accommodate you and is happy for you to park in the car park if you call in after your walk! You will see that we have not quite reached the one hundred mark for the number of walks from Lady Bay! However, I hope you’ll agree that there are a surprisingly high number of quality walks that start from right on our doorstep. Thanks so much for your support and interest. I hope to see you in The Poppy when this is all over to compare notes and share ideas for mountain walking, which is what I am more used to. Happy Rambling from Lady Bay and be sure to stay in touch! Best wishes, Trevor Riddiough 2 Route-finding You should be able to follow the clues to get you around each route without a map.

  • Community & Development Team Report
    Community & Development Team Report - 2015 As the sun sets on yet another amazing and record breaking year at Trent Bridge, and before it becomes a distant memory, I wanted to reflect on some of the great achievements within the Nottinghamshire Cricket Board. Whilst we would like to deny it, team sports and cricket participation continues to decline. We have to be bold and brazen as we move forward, embracing the new whilst protecting the traditions and values that make recreational cricket the game we love. As a team, we are responding to this challenging and changing environment by working with our leagues, clubs and partners to make sure cricket continues to be the sport of choice in our county. We are supporting our leagues with ‘Get The Game On’, a new ECB campaign emphasising that every game matters and £39,000 has been distributed to 28 clubs across the county to assist with this initiative. We are communicating with our current and lapsed players, which has resulted in leagues changing start times, finish times, and establishing consistency around rules and regulations. Whilst there is still much work to do, the level of collaboration between leagues, officials and clubs is encouraging. Ongoing and open dialogue with our clubs and partners is key; we have invested in a new Website for the NCB, and appointed a part time Communications and Marketing Officer. Twenty-six cricket clubs, meanwhile, achieved Clubmark re-accreditation in 2015 and seven are working towards being newly accredited. Fifty-three Clubs registered for NatWest Cricket Force. Our volunteer workforce for the Investec Ashes, meanwhile, reached a record number of 135 volunteers, some general and some entertainers.
