A FRESII School Year turns our thoughts naturally both to the past and to the future, to what we have done or failed to do and to what we can do and mean to do ; and the thoughtful recollection of the past is indispensable to the successtul carrying out of our resolutions for the future. Bacon says a faculty of wi&e interrogation is half a knowledge, and most assuredly our own failures and successes are facts the right questioning of which will always prove invaluable. \Ve cannot do better than remind those who bring to this year's work the recollection of success of the saying of one of our great Englishmen, that "success is like the meal which the traveller enjoys upon his way, but the purpose of which is to strengthen him for his future journey." Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that all School work is only a means to an encl, and not an encl in itself: a boy leaves School the richer not by what he bas clone while there, but by the powers of clc>ing and thinking he takes away with him. Most boys, after they leave School, will never need to open a School book again as far as the facts contained in them are concerned : it is not what a boy can understand of the contents of a book that will serve him in the future, but just so much as he has made part of himself, the abiding recollection of facts rightly grouped, and the habits of method and experiment which have resulted from his work. In saying this we do not mean for a moment to underrate what has been done in the late Examinations by the boys who have so well sustained the fame of the Grammar School. \Ve would only warn them not to think so much of past victories as of future achievements, and at the same time say a Word of encouragement to those who have been disappointed. Examinations are confessedly an imperfect test of ahility and acquirements ; we cannot pretend by a score of papers to form anything like that complete estimate of a boy which a score of years may still leave doubtful : yet a test we must ha\'e, and all that can be clone is to make that test as fair as possible. Many familiar faces will be missed this quarter ; we need hardly say they take every good wish with them from those who are left : if, with good wishes We may couple a word of advi~e, it would be this-" See that your polished arms be primed with care." Your favourite gun or bat or racquet has its place where clamp and rust will not spoil, why then let what you have gained at School slip from you for want of use. Not that we should expect to see You spending the Saturday half-holiday over a Latin Grammar or an Algebra; ~tis rather the habits of work than the subject matter that will be valuable 111 the hours that must be devoted to bread-winning. For years you have had to be punctual in rising; each day's work has been portioned out and has had \ 2 to be done to the day ; in every department of work or amusement you have had to act as one of a body, and have hacl to respect the rights of others. Why should these invaluable habits of punctuality, regular method, and corporate action be allowed to fall into disuse ? Rather let them be treasured as the harvest garnered in the years of School life. And in that time, alas! too short, which a man has to himself; in 'which most of us have to crowd a.ll our attempts to clevelope our intellectual powers, to satisfy our artistic impulses, or to attend to duties outside our daily work, duties as members of families, as citizens, as men ; it is all important that the lessons of a good education should not be forgotten. A knowledge of the lessons that all history teaches helps to make a man a wise citizen, tolerant of the opinions of others, and able to distinguish true from false prosperity, while an accurate knowledge of his own tongue added to the reasoning powers so thoroughly developed by mathematics will keep him proof against any specious juggling with words and enable him to unmask self-interest in the thousand and one disguises which it assumes in a young country. While wishing success to all old boys, we should be very ungrateful if we did not recognise the School's indebtedness to them for all that they have done in keeping up the tone of the School, in maintaining discipline and forwarding the interests of all kinds of sport. The new boys, we trust, have found by this time that they have come among boys who are proud of their School, and who will expect them to take an active interest in all that concerns it, whether Examination list or Cricket score. Finally, let old and new together resolve that, what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, whether it be in class, on committees, or in the cricket and football field. Work has to be done and may as well be done pleasantly. Let them get a few clean sheets on Saturday and see if it is not so. PRIZE LIST.-CHRISTMAS, 1885. Knox Prizes :-1. Thompson i. 2. McClelland i.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

  • 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.

  • Analysing the Factors Affecting Runs Scored by Batsmen in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 6s, (2020), pp. 3064 – 3073 ` Analysing the Factors Affecting Runs Scored by Batsmen in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 Siddhartho Das Symbiosis Institute of Business Management Pune; Symbiosis International (Deemed University) Pune [email protected] Abstract The ICC T20 World Cup[3] is an international tournament organised by the International Cricket Council. It is played among 16 teams. The top 10 teams are selected based on their ICC International T20 rankings up until a given deadline. The remaining teams are determined by a qualifying tournament, which is held just prior to the tournament. It comprises of associate nations. Most of these 6 teams have not been given Test match status. Up until now, the tournament has been held every two years. However, the next edition will take place in 2020. It will be hosted by Australia. For the first time, it will be held after a gap of four years. The tournament has been played 6 times so far. Only the West Indies, the current champions, has won the tournament multiple times. The first ever T20 World Cup took place in South Africa in 2007. It was won by India, who emerged victorious in a closely contested final against their arch rivals, Pakistan. This set the tone for further editions of this tournament and international T20 cricket in general. England were the hosts of the 2009 edition and it was won by Pakistan. The third edition took place in 2010 and was won by England. The fourth edition, held in 2012, was won by The West Indies.

  • Advances in Cricket in the 21St Century: Science, Performance and Technology
    African Journal for Physical, Health Education, Recreation and Dance (AJPHERD) Volume 21(4:2), December 2015, pp. 1310-1320. Advances in cricket in the 21st century: Science, performance and technology M.H. NOORBHAI1 AND T.D. NOAKES2 1Department of Sport Management, Faculty of Business, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town, South Africa; E-mail: [email protected] 2Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, South Africa (Received: 01 July 2015; Revision Accepted: 29 October 2015) Abstract Cricket has a known history spanning from the 16thcentury till present, with international matches having been played since 1844. The game of cricket arrived in Australia as early as colonisation began in 1788. Cricketers started playing on turf wickets in the late 1800’s but the dimensions only became available later for both the boundary and pitch. As the years evolved, performances, batting, cricket gear, equipment, technology, playing surfaces and the three formats of the game gradually adapted to the laws of cricket. In addition, cricket bats were adapted to the playing conditions and the evolving laws of cricket. In modern cricket, the bats are bigger and stronger than those used in the earlier eras. Boundaries are also currently smaller which provides batsmen with an added advantage of scoring runs easily and at a rapid rate. Considerable research has also shown the range of evolvements in the cricket sciences. As the demand of players’ contracts increase, the commitment and performance levels from players also increase which might also place players at an increased risk for injury.
