There is no getting away from the fact that for those of us who are not the target market for the book one pleasure is in criticising the selection. I suppose this might be one area where the periodic table approach does help to deflect any criticism on the point, but I still found myself wondering why names like Tom Graveney, Colin Cowdrey, Peter May, Ted Dexter, Ken Barrington, Neil Harvey and Alan Davidson were missing. On the other hand, because of the way Stern sets about his task, there are a number of men whose achievements with bat and ball could never justify their place amongst the finest to have played the game, but who fit well within the framework Stern has chosen; men like Mohammad Nabi, Bernard Bosanquet, Colin Bland, Mike Brearley and Hansie Cronje.

  • 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.

Mr Gatting played for England from 1977 to 1995 and captained the National side from 1986 to 1988 in 23 Test matches. Nickname: Gatt Gatt the Bat Batting: Right-handed Bowling: Right-arm medium What is the toughest part of being a professional cricketer? Once you reach the top you have to really struggle to stay there because so many people would love to be in your position so you have to work harder than anyone else. I think that it’s important to remember that there is always someone out there who is willing to work harder than you to be where you are, and so if you want to remain at the top, you have to use this to push you to train harder and always try to improve. It’s also really important that no matter how good you How did you feel when you were are, there is always someone out there representing your country? who is better than you, and so you must never become complacent.

  • 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.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 275 - 0CT0BER 2007
    NEWSLETTER No. 275 - 0CT0BER 2007 DEREK SHACKLETON “If a bowler can bowl straight, make the batsman play, he’s doing the job to the best of his ability” Shack on Friday 1 September 1961. Derek Shackleton was one of those rare cricketers who became a legend during his playing career. Even upon his death, almost forty years since his final game for Hampshire, his name remains synonymous with accurate line and length bowling. “Shackleton like” became a simile for accuracy. His team-mates averred that upon inspection of the pitch after his bowling spell, which was invariably a long one, there was a bare patch about the size of a plate, on a length. He rarely visited the nets but once, at Southampton, he bowled three balls which hit off, middle, and leg stumps consecutively. Just to prove it was not a fluke he bowled a further three balls and hit the stumps in reverse order. Shackleton, though, was never given to ostentation, except perhaps in his dapper attire. He went about his work quietly and apparently tirelessly. He never seemed to take much out of himself, which is perhaps why he lived to 83, an old age for a pace bowler. However, he took enough. The body action and follow through lifted him off the ground and batsmen testified to the ball hitting further up the bat than they expected. He was tall – just over six foot – lean and spare in build, with never a hair out of place. By the end of his career he ran to the crease off just six full strides.

    WP/10/225 What Can International Cricket Teach Us About the Role of Luck in Labor Markets? Shekhar Aiyar Rodney Ramcharan © 2010 International Monetary Fund WP/10/225 IMF Working Paper African Department What Can International Cricket Teach Us About the Role of Luck in Labor Markets?1 Prepared by Shekhar Aiyar, Rodney Ramcharan Authorized for distribution by Vitaliy Kramarenko October 2010 Abstract This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the IMF. The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. How important is luck in determining labor market outcomes? We address this question using a new dataset of all international test cricketers who debuted between 1950 and 1985. We present evidence that a player’s debut performance is strongly affected by an exogenous source of variation: whether the debut series is played at home or abroad. This allows us to identify the role of luck—factors unrelated to ability—in shaping future career outcomes. We find that players lucky enough to debut at home perform significantly better on debut. Moreover, debut performance has a large and persistent impact on long run career outcomes. We also make headway in empirically distinguishing between competing explanations for why exogenous initial conditions exercise a persistent impact on career performance JEL Classification Numbers: Keywords: Author’s E-Mail Address: [email protected]; [email protected] 1 The authors would like to thank Daron Acemoglu, Andrew Berg, Phil Evans, Lakshmi Iyer, Geoff Heenan, Raghu Rajan, Ratna Sahay, and Shang-Jin Wei for very helpful conversations and comments.

I can remember coming across what he had recorded and that I had shown particular interest in his very early recollections and of course his great cricket stories. While he had recorded a great deal of information he never quite got to finish the story. After Dad’s passing I thought that it would be great to complete his story and to make it available to those who would like to know more about him, and also to family and friends who shared in his journey along the way. I have added more from Christmas letters he had written plus my own memories from over the last fifteen to twenty years. Fortunately, Ian was very meticulous in keeping records and information. Ian McGregor Stuart was known to many of his friends simply as “Stuey”.
