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.

The Carbiner “For Sport and for Good Fellowship”
The Carbiner “For sport and for good fellowship” EDITION NUMBER 17 – 16 NOV 2017 In This Edition....... CCHK – CRICKET SIXES LUNCHEON THE CARBINE CLUB OF HONG KONG – CRICKET SIXES On October 27th 2017, The Carbine Club of Hong Kong members and guests were treated to the wit and mirth of former England test fast bowler Gladstone Small and former Australian test captain Kim Hughes on the eve of the return of the Hong Kong World Cricket Sixes. Mark Winstanley, Gladstone Small, Kim Hughes & John Ridley . CARBINER 17 - 2017 Gladstone Small hails from Barbados. His original interest in cricket was on account of his grandfather’s near obsession with the great England players of that day in the Fifties and early Sixties. Gladstone played for Surrey, also 17 Tests and 53 ODI’s for England. He is generally regarded as one of the most popular and self-effacing characters in cricketing circles. He particularly extolled the virtues of Sir Richard Hadlee as the greatest fast bowler he had had the privilege of seeing in action. Reminiscing on his early county playing days, Gladstone opened the bowling with recollections of being pranked and needing a passport for a tour match in Scotland. He regaled the Hyatt Regency crowd with memories of watching the ’82 MCG test, before playing in the ’86 tour with Mike Gatting. His recollection of the carnage of the Brisbane test preparation had the guests in stitches of laughter, before he concluded with the sheer joy of taking a 5-for alongside Sir Ian Botham at the MCG Boxing Day test.

Is Australian Cricket Racist?
Is Australian cricket racist? What they said… ‘There wasn’t a match I wasn’t racially abused in when I went out to bat’ John McGuire, an Indigenous player who is second in the all-time run-scoring list for the first-grade competition in Western Australia ‘We have to be vigilant against any comments, against any actions, even though it’s conducted by only a very small minority of people’ New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian warning cricket fans against making racially abusive comments The issue at a glance On January 9. 2021, on day three of the India vs Australia test match being played on the Sydney Cricket Ground, India captain Ajinkya Rahane and other senior players spoke to the umpires at the end of play. It was subsequently revealed that they were alleging racist abuse from some sections of the crowd. On January 10, play was stopped for eight minutes following claims of more alleged abuse. At least six fans were removed from their seats for allegedly making racist comments after Mohammed Siraj ran in from the fine-leg boundary, alerting teammates before umpires passed on the message to security and police. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jan/10/india-report-alleged-racist-abuse-from-scg- crowd-during-third-test A subsequent enquiry confirmed that racial abuse had occurred; however, the six spectators who had been escorted from the stadium were not the perpetrators. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12200065/cricket-australia-confirms-india- players-were-racially-abused-in-sydney-six-fans-cleared The incident has provoked significant discussion regarding the extent of racism in Australian cricket.

NEWSLETTER No. 233 - JANUARY 2003
NEWSLETTER No. 233 - JANUARY 2003 MEETINGS 8 JANUARY 2003 - MEETING The Society is very pleased to welcome the REVEREND MALCOLM LORIMER to this evening’s meeting. He is a Methodist Minister in Sale and Chaplain to Lancashire County Cricket Club. He is one of cricket’s greatest and most hardworking enthusiasts. He has edited the Lancashire Yearbook since 1987, and also presided over the Benefit Brochures for John Abrahams, Mike Watkinson and Graham Lloyd. For a number of years he was also Lancashire’s Honorary Librarian. He has written books for the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians on Lancashire Cricketers, Lancashire Cricket Grounds and Cyril Washbrook. He stepped down as Chairman of the ACS last year after a ten-year tenure, during which time its affairs were established on a more secure footing, and the range of its publications, and, importantly, its influence on the game in general, extended. He is also a collector of cricket memorabilia. Latterly, he edited and compiled “Glory Lightly Worn – A Tribute to Brian Statham” (pub. The Parrs Wood Press), which was greeted with extremely positive reviews. The biographical notes in that book reveal that he was actually born in Yorkshire but attributes his love of Lancashire to “the power of conversion!” He is interested in links between cricket and Christianity. His other pastimes include the theatre and crime novels. As far as the editor can recall, the only other member of the clergy to address the Society was Andrew Wingfield-Digby (Sept. 1990). Mike Vockins, the former secretary and Chief Executive of Worcestershire CCC also spoke to the Society in November 1983, though at the time of his address he had still to be ordained.

305 – January 2011
THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 305 – JANUARY 2011 Wednesday 12 January 2011 – Meeting As celebrated in the 2011 edition of the Hampshire Handbook, this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the County winning their first Championship. It was an exciting three-horse race with Yorkshire, Middlesex and Hampshire all topping the table at some stage. Notwithstanding an equally riveting Ashes series that summer, the race for the crown received extensive coverage in the newspapers. Several column inches were also consumed on tonight‟s speaker. PETER PARFITT enjoyed a marvellous season, eventually scoring over 2000 runs, including eight centuries, and there was continual speculation on whether the England selectors would award him a Test cap. In the event he had to await until the ensuing winter tour of Pakistan and India to make his Test debut, against India at Eden Gardens, Calcutta. After three quiet Tests – two in India and one in Pakistan – he made an accomplished 111 in 293 minutes in the final Test of a long tour in Karachi, sharing a fourth wicket partnership of 188 with his captain, Ted Dexter (205). On his return home, he dominated the Pakistani attack, scoring three centuries as England‟s bowlers inflicted a four- nil drubbing. Only rain at Trent Bridge prevented a whitewash. Peter Parfitt seemed to have the world at his feet. He was an automatic choice for the tour of Australia and New Zealand in the following winter. Though making a fluent 80 in the first Test at Brisbane and top-scoring with 28 in the second innings batting debacle at Sydney, he endured a difficult time due to injury and being shuttled up and down the order in state games.
