  • Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket
    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below.

  • Wrecclesham Sport
    18. WRECCLESHAM SPORT. It is perhaps surprising that a small village like Wrecclesham should so consistently provide and nurture a range of high performers and in a number of sports. The Farnham Wall of fame in South Street provides recognition for four top sports performers, all internationals, who have lived and developed their talents in the village. In comparison the performance of the Wrecclesham village teams is somewhat modest. However the opportunity they provide for local young people is important. Sporting achievement in Wrecclesham dates back to the 18/19th Century. It was then more or less confined to cricket. There were very few other sports identified as present in the village at this time. It must be remembered that the main occupation of the male members of the community was in agriculture. The men were hard working and probably had little time or energy for recreation. If anything the women worked even harder in the homes and with the children and there were few creature comforts. No electricity, no television, radio, central heating or motor cars. Water had to be gathered from wells or streams and the overall health of the population was generally as poor as their wealth. One thing of which there was no shortage was public houses; there were five in the Street,1 and three more on the fringe of the village. The men clearly spent a lot of time, and what little money they earned in these hostelries. Many of the publicans were also farmers and they were said to have often paid their workers in liquid form.
