  • The Authors Xi
    THE AUTHORS XI The Authors are one of the world’s oldest wandering cricket teams and many eminent writers and cricketers have played for them. An offshoot of the Authors’ Club, they played regular matches at Lord’s against the Actors, Artists, Jockeys and Publishers until 1912. Arthur Conan Doyle and PG Wodehouse turned out regularly for the side, even opening the batting together. AA Milne was the best fielder, JM Barrie probably the worst and EW Hornung somewhere in between. The one-time England captain and Prisoner of Zenda star C Aubrey Smith led the Actors, and went on to found the Hollywood Cricket Club with Boris Karloff. Wodehouse was the club’s first secretary. In the 1950s, the Authors played regular matches at Vincent Square against the Publishers. Alec Waugh and Edmund Blunden were joined by Test legends, including Len Hutton, Douglas Jardine and Denis Compton. In 2012, a century after their last match at Lord’s, the Authors took the field again. They revived the traditional games against the Actors and Publishers and faced other opposition, including the Lords and Commons at Sir Paul Getty’s beautiful Wormsley ground, the Gaieties at Lord’s (covered by Radio 4’s Front Row) and a Wisden XI in Victorian garb to celebrate the 150th edition of the Almanack. That winter, the Authors toured India, playing at Bombay Gymkhana, the venue for England’s first Test on the subcontinent, and opening the Jaipur literary festival with a spectacular match against a Rajasthan Royals XI. The captains rode out for the toss on camels and the Authors made the front page of the world’s largest newspaper, The Times of India, the next day.

  • 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.

INTRODUCTION “When I set my easel up on the boundary edge for the 1st Ashes Test, the boyhood excitement and memories came flooding back. The atmosphere was already building, and it was still only 8 o’clock on the first morning. The players hadn’t even started warming up yet! When they eventually did, I have to admit, I felt like getting my tracksuit on again and joining in, as there is nothing that gets my blood pumping more than a contest against the old enemy, nothing! As the morning went on and the spectators arrived, the atmosphere built to such a degree that you could have cut it with a chainsaw. It was electric, and I couldn’t wait for it to get started. To me, every single delivery in an Ashes Series feels like an event and is so crucial but the first ball in particular of an Ashes Test is always a special moment.

The Jardines originally hailed from France and came over to Britain with William the Conqueror and the Normans in 1066. The chief branch of the family settled in Dumfriesshire in south-west Scotland in the 14th century and engaged in many a bloody skirmish over disputed territory with their English rivals across the Border. According to the Scottish writer Alex Massie, the Border bred hard men, quick to resort to violence and slow to forget. ‘The Jardine family motto, “Cave Adsum”, means “Beware, I am here.” It is a statement of fact, a warning and a threat. It seems appropriate for the author of Bodyline’s greatest hour.’1 In the 19th century the Jardine clan began to migrate to different parts of the world. Douglas Jardine was distantly related to William Jardine who co-founded Jardine-Matheson, the Hong Kong-based trading company in 1832, and to Frank and Alec Jardine, the Cape York pioneers who established a cattle station on the north-east peninsula of Australia in the 1860s.
