Namely; that the game‘s broadly pre-industrial, rural, and egalitarian culture had been replaced by the ‗gentlemanly‘ ethos of amateurism; a culture which encouraged cricket for its own sake and specific norms of ‗moral‘ behaviour exemplified by idioms‘ such as ‗it‘s not cricket‘. A century later, much of this narrative not only remained intact, it survived unchallenged. However, a regionally specific sub-narrative had emerged in relation to cricket outside of ‗first-class‘ Test and County cricket. Cricket in the North was ‗working-class‘, ‗professional‘, ‗commercialised‘, and played within highly ‗competitive‘ leagues, while cricket in the South was ‗middle-class‘, ‗amateur‘, ‗non-commercial‘, and played in non-competitive ‗friendly‘ fixtures. Whereas cricket in the North has attracted a good deal of academic attention, there remains a paucity of contextualised academic research of cricket in the South. Due to assumed social and cultural similarities, the so-called ‗friendly‘ cricket of the South remains subsumed within the national narrative. Whereas we now know a good deal about who played cricket, and why, in the North, we know little, if anything, of those who played cricket, why they did so, and under what circumstances, in the South. This thesis, which focuses on the County of Surrey, thus examines the social and cultural development of ‗club‘ cricket in the South for the first time. In order to test the historical assumption that cricket in the South replicated the gentlemanly amateurism inherent to the game‘s national culture and historical discourse, this thesis shall not only examine the origins of these important cultural ‗identities‘, but who was playing cricket, and under what social, environmental, economic, and cultural circumstances, in Surrey between 1870 and 1970. In basic terms, it will demonstrate that much of the historiography proves misleading, especially regarding the universality of non-competitive cricket. Moreover, this thesis will also establish that the introduction, implementation, and spread of non- competitive cricket was a class-specific and discriminatory ideology, which had close associations with the middle-classes‘ increasing insecurity and their migration to Surrey. The ideological basis upon which non- competitive cricket was based, was to have fundamentally negative repercussions relating to the game‘s cultural meaning and popularity, and the ‗re-introduction‘ of competitive league cricket to the South in 1968 may well have saved the sport from a slow and agonising extinction. 1 Copyright Statement i.

Originally this thesis intended to examine the development of the regionalised cricket stereotypes of Yorkshire and Surrey, and the apparent relationship that each had with specific class groups, but after a year of research it became clear that a satisfactory examination

    Women's Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes

    Women’s Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes The important contribution made to women’s cricket by former students of Dartford College of Physical Education © The Ӧsterberg Collection Jane Claydon 2021 Unsung Heroes A great deal of publicity has been given to women’s cricket in the last decade and yet, some modern authors, in their histories of the game, have not included the names of many talented international cricketers with links to Dartford. Perhaps this is because the authors were not taught by members of staff trained at a Specialist College of Physical Education and are unaware of the heritage of Dartford, Bedford, Chelsea, Dunfermline and other later foundations. As a result, they have missed out on a rich history of women cricketers and administrators. I am sure Mary Duggan would be surprised to find that her lengthy and significant career is not highlighted in one recent publication. I have attempted to redress the balance and introduce the reader to many other players who trained at Dartford College. They may not be household names, but during their careers they influenced the development of the game for women and the outcome of many significant matches. Information about the history of women’s cricket is easy to find. Several books of interest have been published in the last half century. Perhaps, Nancy Joy’s Maiden Over, published in 1950, is overlooked by younger researchers, but it is a source of interesting details about the 1948/49 tour to Australia and New Zealand in which the author participated. The Cricket Archive can provide details of the performance of all England women cricketers, the WCA year books are available to view online and many of the players feature on the pages of Wikipedia.

    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.

Reverse sweeps make me shudder; KP’s attacks (when batting, that is) made me bewail the lack of a basic straight-bat technique and David Warner just makes me think – slogger! And so on. However, Brendon McCullum is another matter entirely. Watching New Zealand lose early wickets in their second Test against Australia and seeing the talented Kane Williamson inching to just three runs in over sixty deliveries was a painful experience until the world turned upside down. Having been beaten comprehensively by his first ball, Brendon McCullum sliced the next ball over the slips for four and then began to construct something of true wonder. With most bowlers going for barely one an over, Mitchell Marsh entered the attack and jaw-droppingly, saw his first over go for twenty one runs.
