    OUR IMPACT 2018/2019 ENHANCING LIVES THROUGH CRICKET Thank You From Our Chairman The last eighteen months – from April 2018 when we launched our Friends fundraising scheme, to the summer of 2019 when we saw, for the first time, Hub cricketers take on MCC teams across the UK – have been momentous for the MCC Foundation. We ran 50 Hubs over 2018/19 and will expand to 54 in 2019/20; we held our first Activation Day during a Test Match at Lord’s, raising our profile amongst English and Irish fans; we broke the world record for the longest indoor cricket match; and we funded a totally new cricket league for state- educated secondary school students in Westminster. This year has also seen more people than ever before join our community of supporters. Your generosity and enthusiasm has enabled us to be more ambitious in our remit, and build sustainable plans for the future. I would particularly like to thank our Benefactors, whose generosity has totally transformed the impact we are able to make. Looking to the future, we will focus on ensuring our Hubs target areas of greatest need and, in addition to continuing to provide opportunities for people across the UK, we want to deliver projects overseas. I hope that, in reading this, you will be proud of the good work we have achieved together. With best wishes, Phillip Hodson The Hubs provided 2,6002,600 HOURSHOURS of coaching & match play The MCC Foundation Cricket Hubs 2018/19 has been another successful year for our cricket 81% of participants said the Hub Hubs, and we are delighted to be in a position to expand improved their tactical and enhance the programme next year.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • 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.

  • Class, Gender and the Context of Early Cricket
    Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies Vol. 35 No. 2 (2012) View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE ‘Scorn Eunuch Sports’: Class, Gender and theprovided Context by MURAL - Maynooth University Research Archive Library of Early Cricketjecs_498 223..237 CONRAD BRUNSTRÖM andTANYA M. CASSIDY Abstract: The under-theorised eighteenth-century game of cricket represents a far more fluid and paradoxical site of enquiry than the exhaustively politicised discussions of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century versions of the sport. Eighteenth-century cricket represents a way of describing the performance of gender within a context of patriotic self-imagining. Poems and paintings describing cricketers of both sexes illustrate how ideas of masculinity and femininity can be celebrated and challenged at the same time. The extent to which cricket (as it is steadily organised and coded) functions as a ‘heroic’ pastime says much about the centrality of sport in general within the national consciousness. Keywords: cricket, sociology, gender, class, mock-heroic, leisure, consumption, identity Cricket’s early institutionalisation is contemporary with celebratory affirmations of its status as both a peculiarly English game and as a peculiarly masculinised one, a game to be contrasted with the more sedentary feminised pursuits of a continental (specifically French) aristocracy. Political analyses of sport are generally configured by describing the dynamics of class, race and gender which define the culture and assumptions of sporting endeavour. At the same time, gentility, ethnicity, masculinity and femininity are all variously staged, promoted and threatened by the celebration of sport. The assertive masculinity of the game of cricket coincides, meanwhile, with its popularity among women, both as a polite pastime and as a popular spectacle.

  • CROYDON HOCKEYERS CRICKET CLUB 1967 – 1998 a Trip Down Memory Lane
    CROYDON HOCKEYERS CRICKET CLUB 1967 – 1998 A trip down memory lane Introduction I have been on the RDCA Executive for the past 14 years and during that time have come to see and read publications documenting a club’s history to date and/or milestones. It got me thinking that should the old Hockeyers cricket club scorebooks be lost, that part of our club history would disappear in time. Some four years ago, Brian Gobbi and Bill Stafford did some research into Tommy Derham’s statistics and that became the catalyst for me to commence writing the history of the club. It became a bit of a target to coincide the production of a book with a reunion to be held during the fiftieth season since the cricket club was first formed. The Hockeyers story started in 1967 and, having joined the club in 1973, I was privy to a lot of Hockeyers history and thereafter the subsequent progress of the merged entity. Hockeyers had a 25 year reunion back in 1992 and a lot of statistical information was extracted for that event. Many thanks for their efforts go to Doug Ford, Brett Haines, Wayne Burgess, and others I have not mentioned, who compiled that senior detail. That information became the cornerstone of what appears in the book and I then used various resources to expand on that and introduce additional elements to the story. Although the scorebooks for the first four seasons cannot be located, the retention thereafter has been pretty good, with only the odd one missing, and that has assisted the exercise greatly.
