Darlington Building Society NORTH YORKSHIRE and SOUTH DURHAM ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Founded 1892 APRIL 2020 Darlington Building Society NYSD NORTH YORKSHIRE AND SOUTH DURHAM NEWSLETTER ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Founded 1892 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? At the NYSD League Management Committee meeting held on the 31st October 1914 the decision was taken that no cricket would be played for the duration of the First World War. The League record books subsequently record- ed that there was ‘no competition during the Great War—1915, 1916, 1917, 1918.’ Cricket was played, albeit on a reduced basis, during the Second World War, so the emer- Inside this issue: gence of Coronavirus in 2020 is likely to cause the most significant disruption to the NYSD Coronavirus has been a game changer, but cricket calendar for more than a hundred years.

It is sad that this special season is likely to be severely affected by the current crisis but DBS CEO Andrew Craddock comment- ed recently: ‘Despite the extraordinary circumstances, I am keen to support our local community and hopefully when we come out the other side we can get some cricket going and rekindle our partnership’. PagePage 2 2 Darlington Building Society NORTH YORKSHIRE AND SOUTH DURHAM ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Founded 1892 GOUGHIE GETS IT RIGHT ICC Elite Panel Umpire and NYSD Hall of Famer Michael Gough (Junior) added another prestigious string to his ever growing bow recently. The 8 times PCA Umpire of the Year has the highest percentage of DRS referred upheld decisions in Test cricket since 2017—his accuracy average a staggering 95.1% - some way ahead of second- placed Kumar Dharmasena with 78.7 %. There is an argument that his percent- age is so high because his decisions aren't reviewed as often as others — but that simply reinforces his standing as it suggest his original decisions are also spot on. Not bad lad! MEANWHILE, IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC To New Zealand via Australia, Samoa and a Pacific Games Gold medal, former NYSD player Ian West has just been awarded the Club Coach of the Year Award by Auckland Cricket—a prestigious award handed out annually in Premier cricket in NZ. His award recognized the outstanding success of Parnell Cricket Club, where he is Head Coach, in winning the Hedley Howarth Two- Day championship as well as appearances in the two white ball competition finals. The NZ domestic season ended two weeks early because of corona- virus, but with Parnell already well clear after 7 wins from their 7 two -day matches the title was locked in. The club success added to success for the Auckland Aces where Ian also coaches—they won the Ford Trophy, the national 50-over first- class competition. NORTH EAST CLUB PLAYER OF THE YEAR—AGAIN! An outstanding 2019 season from Richmondshire skipper Gary Pratt earned him the accolade of being adjudicated the North East Club Player of the Year for the second time in his career—he also won in 2013. A total of 1151 clubs runs, plus 51 wickets, placed him head and shoulders above the other contenders, and he also scored almost 600 runs for Cumberland in Minor Coun- ties competitions at an average of 58. Gary nudged NEPL Player of the Year Karl Turner of Hetton Lyons (775 runs and 31 wickets) into second place. (Two former Barney pros, it must be playing at altitude!). The presentation of the award, which is sponsored by Darlington Building Society, was made by Peter Bowler, the former Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Somerset player at the Durham Youth Trust dinner at the Emirates ICG in early March.

They are being revealed every afternoon in the release of the latest number of deaths from Covid 19. And there are more, thousands and thousands more, still to come. In that context the delay to the start of the cricket season, which will possibly become a total cancellation, barely counts as a minor annoyance. Still, this is alien territory. For more than half a century the anticipation of the season and then its arrival and unfolding have been staples of my life. As doubtless they have for many of you. It is strange to do without. Though I should mention that not everyone involved with the game is necessarily crestfallen. My one per- mitted piece of exercise under government regulations (that is one thing that has definitely improved since, as I consider it an obliga- tion, I now exercise daily rather than, say, annually) inevitably takes me past the Barney cricket ground five minutes away. There, most days, is Steve Dixon, Barney’s inestimable head groundsman. In ten years Steve has turned what might have been brand- ed a cabbage patch, were that not a grave insult to growers of brassica oleracea everywhere, into a wonderful square and outfield. He takes his work seriously but there was a definite smile playing round his lips the other day. Happy in his work? Yes. Pleased with the way surface was looking and feeling? Indubitably. But there was something else. Steve, and he may not be alone among his blessed fraternity, was purring. No cricketers are going to come along any time soon and bugger up what he has so lovingly prepared by actually playing. This interruption to the natural order has allowed pause for reflection. The years have been clamouring for attention. In the early days in the Swaledale village of Reeth, where my mum and dad ran a hotel, cricket largely meant playing on the green. Some of you may recall the Fourth Test between England and Australia at Old Trafford in 1964. It is generally deemed to be one of the most boring ever played. Not in our house it wasn’t. Australia made 656-8 dec and England replied with 611 all out, leaving time for one over in the third innings. Five days and 594 overs of cricket and at no point beyond lunch on the first day was anything other than a draw possible. We – my brothers and I - recreated England’s innings on the green with a cork ball, a bat bequeathed by a hotel guest and beer crates from the old man’s bar across the road for stumps. It went like this: England had lost an early wicket, which in our game was me. Our lad, the elder brother who was 12 at the time, send- ing the beer crate cartwheeling. He then batted for almost two days, combining if I recall rightly both Ken Barrington (256) and Ted Dexter (174) while our other lad, younger brother who was 8, and I bowled 594 overs. It was never welcome to hear my mum calling us in for tea that August summer. Usually, we would have happily stayed on that lovely green all night, batting and bowling and bowling and batting. But on that second evening it was a blessing. Two of us bolted across the green, leaving the undefeated batsman, who had struck in the region of 52 fours, stranded. And called it a draw. All dressed up and nowhere to go! Page 4 Darlington Building Society NORTH YORKSHIRE AND SOUTH DURHAM ECB PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE Pre-season with our CEO Other than getting the players together for perhaps the first time for several months, I have never been totally convinced of the benefits of too much pre-season preparation. The nearer the match phase the better. I suppose this approach was formed over the experience of many, varied March/Aprils and would have been totally different 50 years ago as I anticipated what would transpire to be my last season as a recreational player. Normanby Hall was the club and after a few Tuesday evenings at the nets at Longland’s College the light nights gave a chance to test the handiwork of Wilf Atkinson, the legend of a groundsman and no mean leg-spinner as his record will confirm.

From Ithe day I joined the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s elite panel in 2008, two years after I stood in my first international at the Oval, I trained for every game, and in particular Test matches, in pretty much the same way and certainly with a bit more professionalism than when I played for England back in the 1980s when warm-ups usually consisted of a few laps of the outfield and some stretches with the physio Bernard Thomas, who was the equivalent of a modern-day strength and conditioning coach back then. Two days before the game started, I would go down to the ground, dump my gear in the umpires’ 17 GUNNER: MY LIFE IN CRICKET room, wander over to the nets and stand at one end during each team’s practice and just observe. When you think about it, it’s an obvious thing to do. The international game moves so quickly these days that when I began a new series in a different country there were invariably bowlers and batsmen who I had not come across before.
