Today’s match marks the 150th anniversary of the Clifton v. Sherborne match. Clifton’s cricket pitch stands proudly in the middle of the Close whose ‘breathless hush’ was made famous by Old Cliftonian Sir Henry Newbolt. On a lighter note it is also the place where another famous Old Cliftonian, John Cleese, first entertained the spectators with his ‘silly walks’ to and around the boundary. Cleese was, incidentally, a fine cricketer. Although mindful of those who have gone before, today’s game will be contested by pupils whose minds will be focused on the present: let us hope for a great game played in the right spirit. Enjoy the day: enjoy reminiscing about the games you played in and enjoy one another’s company. Mr M. J. Moore MA Head of College and Head Master of The Upper School 4 Every schoolboy cricketer who steps on to the Close at Clifton can count himself fortunate and Sherborne is particularly honoured to be invited to play in this historic 150th anniversary match to celebrate the first-ever fixture between our two schools. Our team will doubtless be thankful that the 5 am departure from Sherborne that was necessary in the 19th century no longer applies today! These early starts for the away sides, however, were fully justified with a series of closely fought fixtures beginning with a tie in the inaugural match itself. Sherborne’s own ground, the Upper, has allowed us to nurture the talents of many fine players over the last 150 years. We are lucky to number two England captains among them, Arthur Carr and David Sheppard. It is an irony that neither captained the Sherborne XI in their time at school. David Sheppard (later Bishop of Liverpool) will surely forever retain the unique record of scoring a match-winning test century against Australia at the MCG on a Thursday and preaching to a packed Melbourne Cathedral on the Sunday. In modern times, another Shirburnian, Jimmy Adams of Hampshire has proved himself one of the most consistent batsman and finest captains on the county circuit. I am sure that those playing today will continue the traditions of excellent cricket and true sportsmanship of those who have gone before them. I wish the very best of luck to both teams.

That is the first sure use of the term, and it takes us back to the reign of the boy king, Edward VI. It is unlikely that Edward knew about ‘creckett’ let alone played it, but from his regality descends the contest we celebrate and renew today. For on 13 May 1550, while Derrick was perfecting his reverse sweep on a Surrey field, the Great Seal of Edward VI was affixed to the foundation charter of Sherborne School. Because Dorset was then in the Diocese of Bristol, the making of statutes was entrusted to Bishop Bush of Bristol, who held the land at Abbots Leigh where Cliftonians now play a game they call ‘cricket’. First image of Sherborne cricketers: Bell Court c. 1845 (detail) Playing on The first schools cricket match was between Westminster and Eton in July 1796. The Etonians received a metaphorical thrashing on the field, and an actual one next day from their Head Master, who had prohibited the event. Eton and Harrow began their famous encounters in 1805, on Thomas Lord’s original ground. This also was arranged by the boys, and only possible because of the relatively short distances involved.

The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

We tell the story of that fight and the impact it had on the country and the players, both black and white, who were caught up in it. Lanark Kinross and Western Perthshire. D'Oliveira was aware of the political discussions surrounding him during , and the pressure on him was intensified by the scrutiny of his supporters and opponents in England and South Africa. Only few visitors noticed, and even fewer cared, that there was something wrong. Order by newest oldest recommendations. Because of more rewards players were defaulting their commitments to their National boards and were playing for Packer. His example was followed by the England batsman and clergyman David Sheppard , who declined to tour South Africa, refused to play the team in , and spoke out publicly against the policies of the South African government despite efforts by the MCC to silence him. Nothing was scored on the ball. While the general public were baffled that a man who just scored a century against Australia could be left out of the team, the English cricketing press were divided on the decision. As Carlos stressed patiently while we sat at my kitchen table in May , the badge worn on the podium by the two Americans and Peter Norman, the white Australian m silver medalist, celebrated the Olympic Project for Human Rights.

  • 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.

What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.
