SUNDRY EXTRAS Second Edition Many Cricketers Who Have Made A COUNTY CRICKET: SUNDRY EXTRAS Second Edition Many cricketers who have made a small contribution to the outcomes of County Championship cricket have special achievements to their names in other fields. Often, of course, they have had other, more ‘worthwhile’ things to do with their lives. Perhaps we can think of them as the ‘Sundry Extras’ of county cricket. David Jeater 1 INTRODUCTION Many cricketers who have made a small contribution to the outcomes of County Championship cricket have special achievements to their names in other fields. Often, of course, they have had other, more ‘worthwhile’ things to do with their lives. Perhaps we can think of them as the ‘Sundry Extras’ of county cricket. The register below, a second edition of this little enterprise, seeks to recognise the achievements of 1,085 such cricketers in many areas of public life, including fields administrative, commercial, cultural, judicial, military, political, professional and sporting. This new version includes material kindly provided by respondents to the first version and material derived from various publications issued in the last couple of years. It covers cricketers with United Kingdom residency who played in fewer than 100 matches in the ‘official’ County Championship between the start of the 1890 season and the end of the 2016 season, who no longer play high-level cricket, and who fall into one or more of the categories listed in the paragraph below. They have: (a) played for England in a Test match; (b) been identified as cricketer of the year by Wisden, or as a young cricketer of the season by the Cricket Writers’ Club; (c) been appointed a county captain in the Championship for more than one season; (d) an exceptional individual achievement to their name in Championship cricket; (e) held an important administrative position at national level in cricket; (f) played at national or international level in another sport; (g) umpired in 100 or more Championship matches; (h) other achievements in the public eye, including UK civilian or military honours; (i) been a director of a well-known business; (j) died while on active service. The details provided for each player derive from a wide range of sources and comprise, where appropriate: (1) surname, forenames and well-used nicknames; (2) date and place of birth; (3) secondary schools and higher education institutions attended; (4) details of UK residence; (5) playing methods, as batsman, bowler and fielder; (6) details of counties represented in the Championship, seasons played, and playing status; (7) career record in the Championship, comprising matches played, runs scored and average, wickets taken and average, catches and stumpings made; (8) highest Championship score; (9) best innings bowling return in the Championship; 2 (10) other cricket achievements, including Test appearances and Championship matches umpired; (11) major cricket or sports awards received; (12) close relatives who played Championship cricket; (13) achievements at national or international level in other sports; (14) other achievements in the public eye, including civilian and military honours; (15) an apposite comment or quotation; (16) date and place of death. Further details about the entries can be seen in notes at the end of the register. The register is an attempt at a comprehensive list of those meeting the qualifications set out above. The compiler hopes that it informs and entertains. As with the first edition, he would welcome additions to the list, and information leading to corrections to the existing entries, at [email protected]. 3 REGISTER OF PLAYERS ABELL, George Edmond Brackenbury b 22.vi.1904 Worcester: ed Marlborough C; Oxford U: right-hand middle- or lower-order batsman; occ bowler; wicketkeeper: Worcestershire 1923-1926, 1928, 1935, 1939, a, for many years a civil servant in India, his appearances in chsp cricket were intermittent: cr 33 matches; 1,204 runs, av 23.60; none for 4; 41 ct, 12 st: hs 131 v Somerset, Wells, 1935: later, private secretary to last two viceroys of India; director Bank of England, Portals Holdings (paper mfg); Civil Service Commissioner: appointed OBE 1943, CIE 1946, KCIE (knighted) 1947 all for public services in India: ‘the capacity of taking every form of work and play in his stride’: d 11.i.1989 Ramsbury, Wiltshire.

  • 1895 a Landmark in Cricket History
    Thursday 28 February, page 4: CRICKET The annual meeting of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club was held at the George Hotel, Nottingham, yesterday, when Mr W E Denison presided over a very large number of members. In the report and accounts there was small measure for gratification. Insignificant “gates” were the rule all through last summer, and the only three-figure sum taken at any one match was £253 in the case of Notts v Surrey. There was a loss on the year’s working and the sum due to the bankers had risen from £4,628 to £4,845. This year’s programme was announced, the matches being with Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Middlesex, Gloucestershire, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire, the last-mentioned taking the place of Somerset. Flowers will receive as a benefit the proceeds of Lancashire v Notts. The report and accounts were adopted. Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck was elected president for the year, with the Mayor of Nottingham as vice-president, while Mr W E Denison, Captain Tomasson and Mr J A Dixon were elected on to the committee. It was stated that every effort would be used to increase the membership of the club; while Mr Denison, in addressing the meeting, said that he thought the popularity of other sports had something to do with the decrease in attendances; it was not wholly the fault of the slow cricket with which Nottingham had been charged. 1 Friday 12 April, page 8: THE COMING CRICKET SEASON Two important changes will make the season of 1895 a landmark in cricket history.

    Report on WICB Umpires’ and Referees’Sub- Committee Meeting, held in Antigua Friday September 30, 2011. On Friday September 30, 2011 umpire Patrick Whyte and I Cecil Fletcher represented WICUA at the WICB Umpires and Referees Sub Committee Meeting. The meeting was held in the Board Room at WICB Headquarters in Antigua. Prayer: Prayer was offered by Mr. Lennox John Member. Chairman: The meeting was chaired by Dr. Allen Sammy, WICB Member. Attendance: Others attending were, Mr.Roland Holder, WICB Senior Project Manager, Mr.Rawle Lewis Project Manager, Mr.Tony Howard WICB Director of Cricket and Mr. Adrian Griffith, Senior match Referee. The meeting commenced at about 10.45 am and concluded about 4.33pm. A minute silence was observed for persons who were associated with the fraternity and who have passed away recently. Page 2 I was given the opportunity to introduce myself. During my introduction I made mention of the invaluable support that WICB has given to WICUA over the years. I referred to the thinking of the master and servant syndrome, I told the meeting that WICB was a good master. I made it clear that whatever assistance we may seek from the WICB we intend to earn it, so that we are not seen as ‘beggars’ if you may. That programmes, achievements, frank and meaningful deliberations will be brought to the fore. In response, the chairman, who was quite articulate and effective in his management of the meeting, he said among other things, that the master and servant era has been viewed as colonial. He sees both entities as partners.

  • In the Early Years, All Matters Pertaining to Cricket Umpiring
    THE WEST INDIES CRICKET UMPIRES’ASSOCIATION 1962 – 2012 – VIVIAN JOHNSON & JOHNNY GAYLE INTRODUCTION In the early years, all matters pertaining to cricket umpiring throughout the Caribbean were dealt with by the governing body of West Indies Cricket, the West Indies Cricket Board of Control through it various territorial affiliates. As the years passed, it became evident that a need existed for the establishment of a body whereby affairs of an umpiring nature would be properly addressed, which would ensure the development of umpiring, create a harmonious relationship among all participants of the game, promote the dignity of the office of umpiring, and generally to advocate in the interest of umpires. In order to accomplish these objectives, various territorial associations were established throughout the Caribbean. In 1946, Jamaica took the initiative with the blessing of the Jamaica Cricket Board of Control and formed the Jamaica Cricket Umpires’ Association, under the Presidency of Norman A.D. Tappin – J.P., Chartered Accountant, making the organization the second oldest umpiring Association in the world, surpassed only by the Victoria Association in Australia. This was followed by the formation of the Barbados Association in the early 1950’s, the Guyana Association and the Trinidad & Tobago Umpires Council in 1953. Interestingly, the British to whom the world is indebted for the invention of such a noble game did not form its Association of Cricket Umpires until March 1953. But there was no regional Association in existence in the West Indies which would bond the various organizations and their members together, and so broaden their input in the overall development of cricket as it relates to umpiring.

  • 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.
