  • 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.

  • It's 40 Years Since World Series Cricket Changed Everything, From
    The towering figure of Tony Greig. It’s 40 years since World Series Cricket changed everything, from the way the game was played to the way it was televised – the way, in fact, sport was televised. It introduced coloured apparel, lights, day-night Tests and one-dayers – the list is endless. People look back now with fondness at the WSC revolt, suggested at first by Dennis Lillee, instigated by some of the world’s best players, funded by Kerry Packer. Two of our interviewees, Clive Rice and Tony Greig, are now sadly departed, but our intrepid correspondent, CRISPIN ANDREWS, had long-ago managed to get their thoughts on the Packer revolution. He managed to track down many of the other protagonists recently. Here are their memories of one of the biggest upheavals ever witnessed in world sport.

    An Unforgettable Summer The 1960-61 Australia-West Indies Series A 40th Anniversary Tribute Alf Batchelder Ray Webster Ken Williams © The Melbourne Cricket Club Library Published by the MCC Library Melbourne Cricket Ground Yarra Park, East Melbourne 3002 First Published 2000 ISBN 0 9578074 2 2 Printed by: Buscombe Vicprint Designed by: George Petrou Design An Unforgettable Summer The 1960-61 Australia-West Indies Series A 40th Anniversary Tribute Alf Batchelder Ray Webster Ken Williams MCC Library Volunteers LIBRARY 2000 The centre of attention: Wes Hall walks out for a pre-match practice session. West Indies 1960-61 Summer Tour PRELUDE TO THE 1960 - 61 WEST INDIES TOUR Fifty years ago, international cricket had a much different formula. Five-day Tests were the only vehicle for competition - one-day play was not yet even a figment of commercial imagination. There was no television in Australia, radio and newspapers providing the only media coverage. Overseas teams toured in every second season, on average, with interest focused on the Sheffield Shield competition in between times. Thus opportunities for seeing leading overseas players in action were limited. England and Australia ruled unchallenged as the leading Test nations and series between the two, for the right to hold the mythical Ashes, were regarded as the ultimate contest. Fixtures with the other Test-playing nations of the day - South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan - were considered of secondary importance and they were granted only occasional tours. Apart from England (three series), only West Indies and South Africa (one series each) played Tests in Australia during the 1950s.

  • 333 – February 2014
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 333 – FEBRUARY 2014 Wednesday 5 February 2014 – Meeting Members will have fond recollections of this evening’s speaker, Andy Murtagh. They will remember his shoulder length hair, droopy moustache and a smile which was never far away. Whether batting, bowling or fielding he conveyed a sense of fun and enjoyment. There was not a more enthusiastic cricketer. His stay with Hampshire was brief but in those five years between 1973 and 1977, he played a part-time but crucial role in Hampshire winning the County Championship in 1973 and the John Player League two years later. ANDREW JOSEPH MURTAGH was born in Dublin on 6 May 1949. He received his education at St. Joseph’s College, Beulah Hill, London, before attending Southampton University to read English. Primarily a right-handed batsman, who later developed his right-arm medium-paced bowling, he first played for Surrey 2nd XI in 1967 and 1968, before making his Hampshire 2nd XI debut in 1969. He became one of the 13 players to appear for the county in their championship year of 1973. He made a notable debut at Hove, in mid- January, top-scoring with 47 in the first innings and an undefeated 37 not out in the second. The latter was a backs-to-the-wall effort as he and Peter Sainsbury (18 not out) batted through the last ninety minutes to secure a draw against the pace of John Snow and the spin of Uday Joshi and Mike Buss.
