Ridley Poidevin-Gray IC^O’Keeffc i'* ^ >' ' C .. i f ' / , S/If HONORARY SECRETARY'S REPORT I present with pleasure the 125th Annual Report of the Sydney University Cricket Club. The 1989-90 season will probably be best remembered for events off the field. The pinnacle of the year for the Club was the launch of the Foundation in November in the Great Hall. Under the Chairmanship of Ted Le Couteur, this organisation, unique in Grade Cricket, provided the beginnings of the establishment of a financially secure future for the Club. We are indebted to Ted, who was a very worthy winner of the J. C. Morris trophy for the most valuable clubman of the year, and to his helpers for their initiative. An excellent night, featuring a speech by the great Sir Garfield Sobers, was a fine way to launch the Foundation. Also off the field, the Sydney Grade Cricket Evaluation Committee under the chairmanship of James Rodgers presented its report and there was much speculation about the future of all Grade Clubs. Sydney University's response to the Committee's recommendations was one of general agreement with the exception of the suggestions to abolish 5th grade. The NSW Cricket Board in March decided to continue with the existing number of grade Clubs for an indefinite period. However, the Board emphasised the fact that it will be constantly monitoring and assisting all Clubs. These two important off the field occurrences of course are linked closely to this Club's on field performances. While our administration and financial status will be examined, it is the Club's results in the Sydney grade competition that need the greatest improvement. We finished 10th in the Club Championship this season which follows 10th in 1986-87. Clearly there has been little progress as we tread water around the middle of the ladder. Why has this lack of progress occurred? Many reasons could be given but I feel the general feeling must be that there is not enough dedication by enough members of the Club. Balmain this season won the Club Championship and had three teams in the semi-finals. Seeking to explain their success 1st grade captain Mick Haire said: "In the past, guys would go down and train and leave at 6.30 or 7.00 o'clock.... (This season) it's not been uncommon for us at our major practice session on Thursday to have the 60 graded players at the club train from 4.30 till 8.00 o'clock." Practice attendance is not the only reason a club does well but there is a clear lesson to be learnt from the Balmain experience especially as in 1988- 89 they had finished 10th in the Club Championship, a position we seemed to have had a mortgage on. Likewise the NSW Sheffield Shield win was largely attributed to the regular attendance and determined effort at practice by its players. Sydney University will not even be able to stay in the middle of the Club Championship unless this area is addressed with actions not just words. This is not to say that there were no improvements or highlights in this seasons. 1st grade emerged under Craig Tomko's captaincy and Gavin Ridley's coaching as much more competitive than previous seasons. The corner seems to have been timed by effective practising and a thorough and planned approach to each match. 3rd grade are to be congratulated on their hard work which helped them reach the semi-finals, only to be thwarted in a close, hard fought match. Under the captaincy of Mick Farrow, who led from the front by being the Club's highest wicket taker, this team built on the success of 4th and 5th grades in recent seasons. A team full of 1st year players made up 6th grade in most matches. They played a refreshing, attacking brand of cricket which helped them make the semi-finals. Their captain Tim Clarsen moulded a very happy team and he deservedly won the Dr L'Estrange award for the best lower grade undergraduate player. Individually there was no more pleasing highlight than Mick O'Sullivan's fine achievement of capturing his 600th 1st grade wicket. Mick joined an elite band of 13 bowlers in Sydney grade cricket. (see following article) He was deservedly honoured at our Annual Dinner. Geoff Lovell became the inaugural Bradman Scholarship winner for his fine efforts in all aspects of University life. His 168 against Fairfield in 1st grade was a demonstration of his great ability as a cricketer. The Club will miss him but wishes him every success at Oxford University. Others to stand out this season were yet again John Grimble who for the third year in succession was awarded the most valuable 1st Grader trophy; Dave Loxton returned to the Club with 500 runs for the season; Andrew Ridley reaped the rewards of enormous hours of meticulous practice. The helpers seem to be have been more numerous than in previous seasons which was a good sign. Again our delegates to the Sydney Cricket Association, Alan Crompton, Chairman of the NSW Cricket Board and James Rodgers, Deputy Chairman of the S.C.A. Committee of Management, contributed time and energy to cricket well beyond duty and they continue to reflect well on our Club. Jeff Banks' work as Honorary Treasury, 6-a-side day entrepreneur and wake up phone caller was as indefatigable as ever. Assistant Secretary Simon Gray proved efficient and hard working, while Phil Garrett, James Robinson and Dave McCredie were excellent committee men. They all made this writer's transfer to the job of Secretary very smooth. Thanks are due to John Wood and the very cooperative staff at the Sydney Cricket Association who continue to administer grade cricket so efficiently.

  • 1895 a Landmark in Cricket History
    Thursday 28 February, page 4: CRICKET The annual meeting of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club was held at the George Hotel, Nottingham, yesterday, when Mr W E Denison presided over a very large number of members. In the report and accounts there was small measure for gratification. Insignificant “gates” were the rule all through last summer, and the only three-figure sum taken at any one match was £253 in the case of Notts v Surrey. There was a loss on the year’s working and the sum due to the bankers had risen from £4,628 to £4,845. This year’s programme was announced, the matches being with Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Middlesex, Gloucestershire, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire, the last-mentioned taking the place of Somerset. Flowers will receive as a benefit the proceeds of Lancashire v Notts. The report and accounts were adopted. Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck was elected president for the year, with the Mayor of Nottingham as vice-president, while Mr W E Denison, Captain Tomasson and Mr J A Dixon were elected on to the committee. It was stated that every effort would be used to increase the membership of the club; while Mr Denison, in addressing the meeting, said that he thought the popularity of other sports had something to do with the decrease in attendances; it was not wholly the fault of the slow cricket with which Nottingham had been charged. 1 Friday 12 April, page 8: THE COMING CRICKET SEASON Two important changes will make the season of 1895 a landmark in cricket history.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

  • Death, Travel and Pocahontas the Imagery on Neil Young's Album
    Hugvísindasvið Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson September 2008 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskuskor Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson Kt.: 260180-2909 Leiðbeinandi: Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson September 2008 Abstract The following essay, “Death, Travel and Pocahontas,” seeks to interpret the imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps. The album was released in July 1979 and with it Young was venturing into a dialogue of folk music and rock music. On side one of the album the sound is acoustic and simple, reminiscent of the folk genre whereas on side two Young is accompanied by his band, The Crazy Horse, and the sound is electric, reminiscent of the rock genre. By doing this, Young is establishing the music and questions of genre and the interconnectivity between folk music and rock music as one of the theme’s of the album. Young explores these ideas even further in the imagery of the lyrics on the album by using popular culture icons. The title of the album alone symbolizes the idea of both death and mortality, declaring that originality is transitory. Furthermore he uses recurring images, such as death, to portray his criticism on the music business and lack of originality in contemporary musicians. Ideas of artistic freedom are portrayed through images such as nature and travel using both ships and road to symbolize the importance of re-invention.
