  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 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. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

I have added the titles of those hooks of which I know, but do not possess copies: these I have distinguished with an asterisk (*) in the hope that I may hear of copies of them for sale or exchange. I have endeavoured as far as possible—and with much success —to discover and record the names of the authors of anonymous books and pamphlets and of the editors of the ephemeral School Magazines, but I have felt bound, in printing this Bibliography, in many cases to respect their anonymity. There are, however, many anonymous authors still to be identified, and I shall gratefully receive any information on this or other subjects by way of addenda to or corrigenda of the Bibliography.

  • Newlands Cricket Ground and the Roots of Apartheid in South African Cricket
    15 ANDRE ODENDAAL Cricket and representations of beauty: Newlands Cricket Ground and the roots of apartheid in South African cricket In January 2010, England played South Africa in the traditional New Year’s Test at Newlands in Cape Town. Former England captain Michael Atherton led his story in the London Sunday Times with an ode to the beauty of the stadium: A new year of Test cricket dawns for England at one of the most stunning venues in the world game. Newlands was shimmering on Friday morning under the shadow of Table Mountain, Cape Town’s defi ning feature, as both sets of players prepared for the pivotal Test of the series.1 England captain Andrew Strauss was equally respectful of the venue and throughout the match the media framed the ground as ‘picture perfect’. The Times from Johannesburg, its front page dominated by a colour photograph of Newlands, dubbed it the ‘Field of Dreams’. Even the Canon Chancellor of Blackburn Cathedral, Chris Chivers, joined in the reifi cation of this space. In a thoughtful article in the Cape Times , he mused on how epic battles on the sports fi eld mirror the real-life struggles against fear, failure and pain that every individual is engaged in. Newlands was his starting point: ‘nothing beats a Test match played at Newlands, beneath one of the most spectacular mountains in the world.’ Furthermore, watching a game here provides a perfect setting for under- standing deeper things about life, for ‘aesthetics – as the Ancient Greeks knew only too well – sets the stage for contests which are often of the most epic proportion’.2 Newlands and the mountain that towers over it have been lyricised for over 120 years in this way.

The painting clearly shows all 11 Kent players who took part in that match, as well as two Lancashire batsmen and one of the two umpires officiating that day. It shows flags flying and marquees crowded with spectators, as well as the bell tower of Canterbury Cathedral in the distance. Most importantly, at least to the man who commissioned it and to the members of the committee of the Kent County Cricket Club that paid for it, it shows that season’s champion county in action at the height of their powers. It shows them showing off their skills among the large friendly crowds who flocked to Canterbury for Cricket Week, the oldest and most fashionable cricket festival of them all. As The Times leader writer put it a few years later in 1919, 9 Stories of Cricket’s Finest Painting after the long bleak years of the First World War, ‘Originally the property of Kent alone, the Week is now the property of all who love the game.’ Canterbury Cricket Week is still, well over a century after the picture was painted, the oldest continuing cricket festival on the planet.

The match marks the 100th anniversary of the first meeting here between Clifton and Tonbridge on July 27/28 1914. The contest between the two schools continued to be played at Lord’s until 1968, after which date the fixture moved around various cricket festivals until 1995. Clifton won that first game in 1914, by nine wickets; Tonbridge won the last game in 1995 by ten wickets, so there is all to play for today. You will find the full and fascinating history of the fixture later on in this programme. Of course we cannot and must not forget that the military conflict that was about to unfold took the lives of half of the players in that first match; seven from Clifton and four from Tonbridge.
