Show Summary That of course gave them the idea of touring England, the Parsi Khabar mother country of the game with which they had fallen in love is a with. Wadias.Inc Enterprise The first two teams from India, therefore, to leave the shores in 1886 and in 1888 to tour England consisted of only Parsi players. The one in 1886 was led by one Dhanjishaw H. Patel, an Flights to underhand bowler, and also in the team were three Parsis — Pestonji Dinshaw Dastur, Dinshaw D. Khambatta and Burorji P. Vancouver Balla — from Karachi. Fly to Vancouver, Their tour was a huge failure for the fact that they were not Canada and Get trained and experienced to play against the English bowlers Our Guaranteed and batsmen. In 28 matches on the tour, they lost 19, drew eight and won only once against the Normanhurst team. Lowest Fare. What is important of course is that this team played two very important matches, one against MCC at Lord’s which they lost by an innings and 224 runs and in which W.G. Grace took 11 for 44 runs and scored 63 before being caught by Balla, the Karachi cricketer. I suppose Dastur, Balla and Khambatta remain the only Karachiites to have played against Grace. The other important match that they played was at Great Windsor Park against the grandson of Queen Victoria Prince Christian Victor in which his brother Prince Albert also played. Not forgetting of course the match against Lord Sheffield XI in which Alfred Shaw, the man who bowled the first ball in Test cricket in 1877 against Australia also played. Dastur of Karachi, whose highest score on tour was 89 against North Riding at Middlesborough in Yorkshire, also had the honour of leading the batting averages of the tour. Keen as I was to trace these Karachi men who pioneered Karachi cricket I managed to discover through Iqbal Umar, a former president of Karachi Gymkhana, the 79-year-old grandson of Khanbahadur Pestonji Dastur only a few months ago. Darius Dastur, the grandson, was delighted when I told him of his grandfather’s achievements which he did not seem to know. He moaned the fact that he did not even have his picture in the family. When I told him that I have it in my collection, he was over the moon; even more happy when I presented him the group photo of the 1886 Parsis in England. Balla’s and Khambatta’s families sadly still remain untraced. In 1926, Dastur’s son Manek Dastur also played at Karachi Gymkhana against Arthur Gilligan’s MCC team scoring 32 and 38 for Parsis and Muslims and 1 and 61 for All Karachi before he died in a motorcycle accident at Macleod Road (now I.I. Chundrigar Road) trying to avoid a Makrani pedestrian. As cricket established its roots, India produced great Parsi cricketers like Polly Umrigar, Nari Contractor and Farukh Engineer, Rusi Surti to name a few. Karachi Parsi Institute (KPI) formed in 1893 could also boast fine cricketers one of which Rusi Dinshaw toured India with Pakistan team in 1952 but did not play in Tests. A.H. Mehta was even on the staff of Lancashire at Old Trafford but failed to qualify as their main player. Jamshed Khudadad Irani played for India. Other fine Karachi cricketers were S.K. Irani, S.R. Mavalvala, Rusi and Homi Mobed the nephew of Minochehr Mobed who was one of the umpires with Daud Khan when Pakistan beat MCC in 1951 in an unofficial Test at Karachi Gymkhana by four wickets to gain Test status. Minochehr Mobed had played in the Sind Pentangular in 1919 and his nephew had toured England with Pakistan Eaglets. Not forgetting the services of Bomi Khambatta, Jagus and Jamshed Markar, the diplomat and cricket commentator who as ambassador, high commissioner and Pakistan envoy to UNO excelled in his job. Let us therefore pay them a huge tribute for their contribution and wish them a ‘Happy Nauroz’. ► Live Cricket ► Pakistan Cricket ← Zarathushtra: The Bombay High Court: Go Amar Chitra Katha by income criteria for Edition for Children house allotment to Parsis → Comments Community 1 Login Recommend 3 Sort by Newest Join the discussion… Scdave65 • 3 years ago Dearest Dinkoo thnx for sharing......and how can we forget AFST TALYARKHAN...the Eminent Commentrator who used to give Commentry NON­ STOP and only one and used to write in Times of India too.....Poly Umrigar..Nari Contractor....Rusi Surti.....Hoshi Amroliwalla...I have seen ALL these Playing and meet personally AFST in Brabourne stadium...and last GR8..Anandji Dossa..the Ever Ready Reckoner of Cricket.......GBU jsk Long live PARSI...Long Live Gujarat....Long Live Bharat.......

  • 'Gilligan's Island?': the Club Cricket Conference, Amateurism and The
    ‘Gilligan’s Island?’: The Club Cricket Conference, Amateurism and the Evening Standard in Post-War Britain. Introduction Amateurism in sport and political and civil society was a firmly established ideology, or ‘ethos’, which informed British culture and identity prior to the outbreak of World War Two, although this concept was frequently challenged prior to 1939 – especially in sport. The Labour Party’s landslide electoral victory of that year (and the 1942 Beveridge Report before it) contributed towards ‘amateurism’, in all aspects of British society, being questioned, and, if necessary, replaced by a new breed of professionalism. Innovations such as the National Health Service, the Welfare State and a policy of nationalization, attempted to alter the cultural, economic and political foundations of English society. However, as Ross Mc Kibbin has argued, these innovations did not essentially affect the structure of English society, especially with regard to those social groups who controlled a variety of political, civil and cultural organizations. ‘Cricket – like a number of sports [at a national level] – was administered, and its ethos established, by self-electing, all-male associations recruited overwhelmingly from the upper and upper middle classes’. 1 Norman Baker notes how the committees of organizations, such as the MCC, managed to maintain their pre-war influence and the inherent ethos of amateurism that informed it.2 It was clear at the national level, where traditionalist administrators held the majority of key positions, that if change was to happen at all, it was going to be a drawn out process influenced by exterior social changes rather than pro-active decision making from within.

Sandy first played for the Club as a Junior Martlet, then as a Martlet and has served the Club as Match Manager, Committee member, Chairman and Vice President. 450 friends and relations attended his Memorial Service held at St Swithun’s in East Grinstead – a great testament to what he meant to so many people. Anyone who regularly played cricket with Sandy The Committee has decided to replicate our Ross will have a special memory not only where successful venture into Twenty20 cricket and at the and when they heard the news of his death, but same time to create an annual memorial to Sandy. also of the last time they saw him. The intention is to include some of his favourite Clubs: Free Foresters, Cryptics, Haileybury In my case it coincides exactly with that of Andrew Hermits and, of course, the Martlets, competing for Short of the Jesters C.C, and another of the vast the Sandy Ross Cup.
