    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 356 – OCTOBER 2016 ANNUAL DINNER An application form for the Society’s Annual Dinner, to be held at the Ageas Bowl on Wednesday 7th December (starting at 7pm), is enclosed with this Newsletter. Would members please complete and return the form, with cheque, to Susanne Marlow by Friday 18 November. The speaker will be Jim Troughton, the former Warwickshire captain and England One-Day International player, and a member of the well-known theatrical family. MEETINGS Wednesday 26 October 2016 – Meeting This evening’s speaker is Sean Ervine, Hampshire beneficiary in 2016, to whom the Society extends a very warm welcome. He celebrated his benefit season in style by scoring 1000 runs in a season for the first time: 1090 runs at the impressive average of 57.36. His aggregate would have been even higher had he not missed four matches through injury. He enjoyed a glorious end to the season. In the last four Championship matches he struck 513 runs at the almost Bradmanesque average of 85.50. He began the sequence with a century in each innings (103 and 106) at Taunton, followed it with 80 against Yorkshire at The Ageas Bowl and then 158 at The Oval. He finished with 50 and 16 versus Durham at home. He had earlier made 123 Yorkshire at Headingley and 93 at Chester-le-Street. He has always been the most watchable of batsmen. He seemingly has time to spare and is a very clean striker of the ball, with shots all round the wicket.

When the Exiles were formed in June 1971, the first newsletter was three type-written pages of A4 sent to members in August of that year. Nigel Dean has reviewed all the issues and the bulk of this 100th issue is given over to Nigel’s wonderful, evocative synthesis of highlights from numbers one to ninety-nine. Ron Lev has cast his mind back to the early days of the Exiles and Outside-edge to tell us of the many characters involved in producing our much-loved publication. Our former Editors, Mark Brunt and Howard Allen, reflect on their involvement and Chris Bell adds his appreciation. Roger Gibbons has written another of his wonderful articles, this time bringing to our attention the splendid GCCC Museum and Learning Centre. Ruth Sharville has produced an ingenious ditty for our amusement and, as ever, Tony Hickey has delivered some of his remarkable photographs to enliven this issue.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down.

  • Essex Eagles Vs Sussex Sharks Royal London One-Day Cup the Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford Tuesday 30Th April 2019
    Essex Eagles vs Sussex Sharks Royal London One-Day Cup The Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford Tuesday 30th April 2019 Will Beer brilliantly shattered his best score for Sussex Sharks to hand his side a nervy one wicket win over Essex Eagles in Royal London One-Day Cup at Chelmsford. Leg-spinner Beer arrived at the crease on 94 for six before he produced a superb 75 in a three-figure stand with Laurie Evans. The pair's 121-run partnership was Sussex's highest for the seventh wicket in one-day cricket, beating Ian Gould and Garth le Roux's 33-year-old record. Recalled to the side after missing out on Sussex's win at Lord's on Saturday, Beer's previous best was an unbeaten 45 against Durham in 2014 as he helped the Sharks on their way to an incredible win. The gutsy victory was secured when No.10 and No.11s Danny Briggs and Mir Hamza scored the required seven off the last over with a ball to spare to send Sussex to their fourth victory in five outings. On his 28th birthday, Briggs finished unbeaten on 37 from 26 balls, also a career-best in the format. Earlier, Essex had won the toss and elected to bat on the same pitch on which they beat Hampshire on two days previous. Sir Alastair Cook and Varun Chopra, who returned from a quad injury, put on Essex’s best opening stand in the competition so far as they reached 73 without loss. Chopra was given a life on 15 when he was dropped at first slip by Phil Salt but failed to scored a third successive format century when he was lbw to a booming George Garton in-swinger.
