I was unsure as to whether I or not to take up space with the 1970 Journal but when I started to read through Tony Lewis’s thoughts on the 1970 season it became an easy choice to make. The full journal will feature in the Virtual Wisdener’s to follow but I will admit that one of the main reasons for re-prin1ng it in full was the reminder that although each years’ Wisden can give us a review of the previous year, it can never really detail - nor does it try - the unfolding season. Reading Lewis’s thoughts on the ‘pro’ and ‘an?’ South AfriCan tour fac?ons and despite thinking that I knew that the tour was CanCelled ‘late’ - it was remarkable to learn that the actual tour was CanCelled well into the English season and the replacement ‘Tests’ against a Rest of The World side, were very has?ly arranged.

  • 352 – March 2016 (1)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 352 – March 2016 (1) MEETINGS Wednesday 2 March 2016 The Society is delighted to welcome this evening’s speaker, DAVID STEELE. This is his second visit to the Society. Just over 20 years ago, on 6th December 1995, he addressed the Society at their 20th Anniversary Annual Buffet Supper at The Ringway Hotel, Basingstoke. He will, of course, always be remembered for his great season of 1975 when he made one of the meritorious of all test debut series against Australia, at the age of 33. After losing the first test at Edgbaston comprehensively, the selectors replaced Mike Denness as captain. His successor was Tony Greig. He promptly canvassed the county captains for their comments on which batsmen could counter the fearsome fast bowling duo of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson. One name that kept recurring was David Steele. Our speaker therefore made his test debut in the second test at Lord’s. After getting lost on his way to the middle via the gents toilet (he had never been in the home dressing room before), and with England teetering on the brink once more, he calmly crafted 50, sharing a sixth wicket stand of 96 with his captain. With his grey hair and spectacles (no helmets in those days), the writer Clive Taylor memorably coined the phrase “bank clerk goes to war”. He made an assured 45 in the second innings. In the next test at Headingley, he made 73 and 92, before finishing with 36 and 66 at The Oval.
