    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.

    Issue 40: Summer 2009/10

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. 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. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010. THE EDITORS Treasures from the Collections The day Don Bradman met his match in Frank Thorn On Saturday, February 25, 1939 a large crowd gathered in the Melbourne District competition throughout the at the Adelaide Oval for the second day’s play in the fi nal 1930s, during which time he captured 266 wickets at 20.20. Sheffi eld Shield match of the season, between South Despite his impressive club record, he played only seven Australia and Victoria. The fans came more in anticipation games for Victoria, in which he captured 24 wickets at an of witnessing the setting of a world record than in support average of 26.83. Remarkably, the two matches in which of the home side, which began the game one point ahead he dismissed Bradman were his only Shield appearances, of its opponent on the Shield table.

    Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At

    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

    Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

    ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE Victor Trumper, The Oval, 1902 “Trumper will always remain for your true Australian the greatest batsman that ever lived… Trumper’s winged batsmanship was seen in the Golden Age of cricket, at his finest, master of some of the greatest bowlers the game has known. When he played for Australia, Clem Hill, Monty Noble, Syd Gregory and Warwick Armstrong were batsmen with him. Splendid as the cricket of these men might be, day after day, whenever Trumper got out the light seemed to go for a while from an Australian innings. The eagle is gone and now-crows and daws. We make an artist’s immortality by thinking upon and loving his work, Trumper was an artist cricketer; let him live again in the mouths of men whenever Test matches are in action. Since he accomplished some of his greatest innings in this land, English cricket owes much to his ghost…” “The Summer Game”, Sir Neville Cardus, 1929. He was Australia’s greatest batsman of the “Golden Age of Cricket” and like Sir Donald Bradman during the Great Depression years, a national hero to Australians during a time of severe economic hardship at the close of the Nineteenth century. He died tragically at the age of just 37 years in 1915, while his homeland was locked in deadly conflict at Gallipoli and the Western front. All Australia mourned. Some of his greatest accolades came from English writers. Below, a poignant entry in the death registers of New South Wales for 1915, recording the death of Victor Trumper, from “chronic parenchymatous nephritis” and “uraemic convulsions”.

    The newsletter of the Council of Cricket Societies CCS Editorial address: [email protected] Autumn News 34a Chawn Hill, Stourbridge DY9 7JB 2016 The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the Council or any individual cricket society Backspin Magazine The fate of Backspin is still to be determined, though it looks very much as if issue 12 will be the last. This is a great pity as previous issues were chock full, cover to cover, with items of cricket interest of yesteryear, which, ironically, may be one of the reasons for its demise. I offer the following observations. The retro title was launched in 2013 as the sister publication to Backpass, which was founded in 2007. Both titles were published by a small group of enthusiasts, which has now dwindled to just the founder. Backspin is probably unique in that it carries absolutely no advertising, which is crucial for survival. The editor told me that he has to pay a crippling £10k just to put the title on the shelves of WH Smith. Probably one of the biggest causes of failure was that the obvious target market of older cricket followers is largely unaware of the magazine’s existence. I would have thought a mailshot plus a complimentary copy should have been sent to all cricket societies – perhaps it was. Did any society ever receive any mailshots? To quote John Simons, the editor of The Cricket Society News Bulletin, “Backspin packs far more interest in a single issue than in a year’s worth of the competition.” The potentially farewell issue #12 was planned to appear in June (originally May), and actually arrived in July! If you go to Smith’s you’ll have to hunt for it in the larger branches.

    Society and Foundation NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2019 Message from the Headmaster, Giles Tollit

    Society and Foundation NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2019 Message from the Headmaster, Giles Tollit As we end the school year, I am delighted to share with you all the good news from Horris Hill, and there is plenty of it. As ever, academic results have been excellent and once again all our Leavers passed to their target schools: entry to these schools is ever more competitive and our results in Scholarship, Common Entrance and Winchester Entrance papers are outstanding. As well as an academic Exhibition to Winchester, one boy was awarded a Music Exhibition and three earned Sports Scholarships. Horris Hill has always encouraged boys to develop all aspects of their potential and I am delighted that the sport is at a high level here, as well as our traditional strengths in the classroom and in the Music school. Having ex-England player Nick Compton coaching the 1st XI cricketers this season was an added boost! I am delighted to announce that the fundraising target for the new theatre has been reached and that work has now started in its construction. By Summer 2020, Horris Hill boys, and, we very much hope, members of the local community, will be on stage in a state-of-the-art resource for this fundamental area of education. The other big development is that in September we welcome twenty boys into the Lower School, which is for boys aged 4 to 8. Those of you who recall the Greenhill Pre-Prep will know that these year groups are not completely new to Horris Hill, but the Lower School will be boys-only and its opening represents an important evolution for the school.

Reverse sweeps make me shudder; KP’s attacks (when batting, that is) made me bewail the lack of a basic straight-bat technique and David Warner just makes me think – slogger! And so on. However, Brendon McCullum is another matter entirely. Watching New Zealand lose early wickets in their second Test against Australia and seeing the talented Kane Williamson inching to just three runs in over sixty deliveries was a painful experience until the world turned upside down. Having been beaten comprehensively by his first ball, Brendon McCullum sliced the next ball over the slips for four and then began to construct something of true wonder. With most bowlers going for barely one an over, Mitchell Marsh entered the attack and jaw-droppingly, saw his first over go for twenty one runs.

    The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero by Gayle Rogers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire July 2017 ABSTRACT The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero The Munich Air Disaster claimed the lives of 23 people in a plane crash in Munich in 1958. It is a significant event within modern England’s cultural history as a number of Manchester United footballers, known as the Busby Babes were amongst the dead. The players who died have continued to be extensively commemorated, especially Duncan Edwards. This research considers the commemorative activity associated with Edwards since his death and was initiated when the researcher pondered the extensive commemorative activity by strangers that she encountered at the family grave of her cousin Edwards. The commemoration of the Disaster and of Edwards has been persistent and various with new acts of commemoration continuing conspicuously even after fifty years since the event. Such unique activity particularly demonstrated at Edwards’ grave was considered worthy of further investigation to ascertain why such activity was occurring at such a volume. Although general historical and biographical accounts of the Disaster and Edwards are apparent, specific research concerning the commemoration of the event was not evident. The researcher set out to identify who the commemorators were, why they were undertaking dedicatory acts and what those acts manifest as.
  • A History of Cricket at Sherborne School

    A History of Cricket at Sherborne School

    A HISTORY OF CRICKET AT SHERBORNE SCHOOL D.F. GIBBS * * * F OREWORD I find this an extremely interesting history of cricket at the School. T he c r u cial thi ng i s that, over the last forty years, cricket is the one game w h ere stand ards have dropped. The reasons are not hard to find. Firstly. until t h e fifties, all boys played cricket; the season in schools lasted three month s; H ouse matches went on for a whole week, if necessary, to get a finish. The m a jority of members of the staff had played cricket and !IO could help in some capacity. All this has changed in the last twenty or so years; perhaps sixty boys over the age of sixteen play cricket, while others are involved with tennis or athletics. Because of 'A' levels, the season is not much more than five weeks and pressure of work means that less time in the week c a n be spent on the cric ket fi eld. In addition, m a ny m e n1bers of t he sta ff hav e n eve r played c r icket and so there tend s to b e a s hortage of coaches . In the thir ties , many outstanding cricketers f rom Oxford and Cambridge went to teach at Public Schools; now such men go and play County cricket. In spite of all this, enthusiasm survives and standar ds are being maintained even if at a lower level than before. Boys who "loathe cricket" do not play, and so cannot h a ve an influence on those who lov e the game; and so it is fair to say that c ricket in the Sc hool is in a very healthy state.
