February 2015 ========================================================================== Section One A: The TOP FIVE SOUTH AFRICAN cricketing schools: This is a simple statement of fact. There can be no argument when looking at the figures: Taking the number of D.H.S. boys who have represented South Africa at TEST, O.D.I., T20, and S.A. Schools level, then DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL is certainly the MOST SUCCESSFUL South African School in this regard. HERE is a short list of the top FIVE South African Schools: School Combined Number of Representatives* DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL 67 King Edward VII School (Johannesburg) 63 Grey High School (Port Elizabeth) 61 Bishops (Cape Town), and 59 Grey College (Bloemfontein) 48 (*) Combined means the number of boys selected for South Africa in full Test matches; O.D.I. matches; “T20” games andfor S.A.

Section One B(ii): The DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL “CENTENARY” XI D.H.S. Old Boys XI Centenary Match. Played in 1966 as part of the D.H.S. 1866 – 1966 Centenary Celebrations.The D.H.S.O.B. XI played the “Rest of Natal XI” under Captain, Jackie McGlew. The D.H.S.O.B. “Centenary XI” team in alphabetical order was: 1 Peter DODDS 2 Richard DUMBRILL 3 Dennis GAMSY(Captain) 4 Trevor GODDARD 5 Geoff GRIFFIN 6 Grayson HEATH 7 Lee IRVINE 8 Jack KAPLAN 9 Barry RICHARDS 10 Hugh TAYFIELD 11 Colin WESLEY 12th Man: Arthur TAYFIELD NOTE: This team is not listed in BATTING order ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The team list was extracted from Jeremy Oddy’s book: “Where the Baobab Grows” (2008) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The D.H.S.O.B. XI - CENTENARY CRICKET MATCH FURTHER NOTES: (by David Bennett) • The Match was played on the D.H.S.O.B. Club main Oval, on 19 / 20 March 1966. The D.H.S.O.B. XI batted second and suffered a first innings deficit of 64 runs in favour of the Natal XI even though RichardDumbrill had hit a great century (114) in a partnership of 127 with Lee Irvine. On the second day, the Old Boys team were then set a second innings target of 188 runs to make in 150 minutes to win. The D.H.S.O.B. XI managed the runs in just 107 minutes, thus winning the match by three wickets. Goddard, Gamsy, Richards and Irvine would later play for SA against Australia in 1970 and so the D.H.S.O.B. XI of 1966 contained FIVE Springboks, ( Goddard; Hugh Tayfield; Griffin; Dumbrill and Wesley) and three others, G amsy,Irvine and Richards who were later to become Springboks (making EIGHT in all). And Arthur Tayfield had been 12th Man for South Africa. There were THREE men in the D.H.S.O.B. team who were wicketkeepers at a high level: Gamsy; Irvine and Kaplan. The “Rest of Natal XI” – captained by Jackie McGlew contained FOUR Springboks, namely Jackie McGlew; Peter Carlstein; Mike Proctor and Pat Trimborn. In addition, McGlew’s team contained a further two D.H.S.O.B. Natal cricketers, who were not selected for the School Centenary XI. They were Charles Sullivan and PeterMarais. And so of the twenty two players in the match, thirteen were D.H.S. Old Boys, and a total of fourteen, if we include Arthur Tayfield. ========================================================================================== Section One C: INTERNATIONAL CRICKET – D.H.S. Boys who have played for SOUTH AFRICA: The following D.H.S. boys have represented SOUTH AFRICA in Official Test Matches: (Dates indicate the Player’s representative years, for South Africa) 1 AMLA, Hashim Mahomed (2004 - ) 2 CHAPMAN, Horace William(1914 – 1921) 3 CONYNGHAM, Dalton Parry (“Conky”) (1923) 4 DALTON, Eric Londesbrough (1929 – 1939) 5 DEANE, Hubert Gouvaine (“Nummy”)(1924 – 1931) 6 DUMBRILL, Richard (1965 – 1967) 7 DYER, Dennis Victor (1947) 8 FELLOWS-SMITH, Jonathan Payn (“Pom Pom”)(1960) 9 GAMSY, Dennis (1970) 10 GODDARD, Trevor Leslie (1955 – 1970) 11 GRIFFIN, Geoffrey Merton (1960) 12 IRVINE, Brian Lee (“Lee”) (1970) 13 KHAN, Imraan (2009) 14 KLUSENER, Lance (1996 – 2004) 15 LINDSAY, Nevil Vernon(1921) 16 NICOLSON, John Fairless William (1928) 17 PEGLER, Sidney James (1910 – 1924) 18 RICHARDS, Barry Anderson (1970) 19 SHEPSTONE, George Harold (1896 – 1899) 20 SIEDLE, Ivan Julian (“Jack”) (1928 – 1936) 21 SNELL, Richard Peter (1992 – 1994) 22 TAYFIELD, Hugh Joseph (“Toey”) (1949 – 1960) 23 TAYLOR, Herbert Wilfred (“Herbie”) (1912 – 1932) 24 WESLEY, Colin (“Tich”) (1960) Arthur TAYFIELD(brother of Hugh) was 12th Man for South Africa (1957) Please ALSO refer to NOTES: 2; 11; 15; 17 and 41 below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

  • 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.

  • Biographies of Leading DHS Cricketers Jack Siedle
    Biographies of leading DHS cricketers Jack Siedle Ivan Julian "Jack" Siedle (11 January 1903 – 24 August 1982) was a South African cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1927–28 to 1935–36. Family background and personal life Born on 11 January 1903 in Berea, Durban, Natal, Siedle was the youngest son of Otto Siedle, who was born in Woolwich, London of southern German stock and who trained as a watchmaker, subsequently emigrating to Durban where he became prominent in the shipping business and public affairs. Otto Siedle's wife Mary became deputy mayor of Durban. Jack's older brother Karl Siedle played first-class cricket for Natal before the First World War, in which he was killed; his sister Perla Siedle Gibson became a well-known singer and a symbol of her country during the Second World War. Siedle married Lesley Maud McPherson on 14 March 1931, with his cricket colleague Eric Dalton as best man. Their son, John Siedle (1932–2008), played a few first-class cricket matches for Natal and Western Province in the mid- 1950s. Early cricket career A right-hander who played for Natal for 15 seasons from 1922–23 to 1936–37, Jack Siedle bowled occasionally and kept wicket just as infrequently, but his chief value to South Africa was as an opening batsman. He had had no great success when he was picked, in the 1923–24 season, for the match that was the trial for the 1924 tour to England and the 56 he scored in his second innings there was his highest score to that point, as well as the top score for his side, but he was not picked for the tour.

  • History of DHS Old Boys Cricket Club - 1967 to Present by Grayson Heath
    History of DHS Old Boys Cricket Club - 1967 to present By Grayson Heath The Cricket Section of the DHS Old Boys Club remains the oldest and most enduring of the Club’s sporting sections – oldest because it was formed when the Club first opened and it remains in action today, alongside the Running Section, as the DHS Rhythm Cricket Club based at the Old Boys Club. The Cricket Section’s transformation from a section of the Old Boys Club closed to all but old boys of DHS to the present DHS Rhythm is probably a microcosm of the changing country in which we live. In the late 1960’s the Old Boys Club was opened to cater for ‘selected’ members that would strengthen the sporting sections and over time the economic benefits of accepting all and sundry as members became a reality and the stage was set for the Cricket Section to respond to the changing economic and social times and thus ensured its survival. Not surprisingly, since DHS is probably the greatest cricketing school in the world, Old Boys cricket has always been strong and were perennial contenders for the League Title through to the late 1990’s with players like Barry Richards, Vince van der Bijl, Dale Benkenstein, Chris Wilkins, Darryl Scott, Neil Harvey, Dave Orchard, Kenny Cooper, Ian Tayfield, Bomber Warman, Kevin Robinson, Kurt Donaldson, Geoff Griffin, Pat Schultz, Peter Dodds, Dennis Gamsy, Colin Wesley, Richard Dumbrill, Barry Moody, Grayson Heath gracing the team over the years amongst a host of other fine players ensuring their constant competitiveness for league honours.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.
