  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Friday 19
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION FRIDAY 19th MARCH 2021 Part of Lot 344 CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 19th MARCH 2021 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.

  • NWM Centurions and Near-Misses Nasim-Ul-Ghani, England V
    NWM Centurions and Near-Misses Nasim-ul-Ghani, England v Pakistan, Second Test, Lord’s, June 1962 Pakistan toured in 1962 for their second Test series in England, having drawn the first in 1954. Accustomed at home to dead turf wickets, the Pakistan players struggled. They were to win only four of their 29 tour games. However, despite generally poor results, before the Lord’s Test Pakistan surprised Yorkshire at Bradford (Yorkshire 246 and 137, Pakistan 285 and 28 for none), gaining what the Times described as a moral victory and instilling hope for Lord’s. Hopes were harboured, for different reasons, by the ground authorities. For some years, a ridge at the Nursery End had caused balls to rise nastily. From the mid-1950s bruises and chipped bones were commonplace, together with early finishes. For the Test against South Africa in 1960 the wickets were pitched a yard closer to the pavilion in an attempt to take the ridge out of play. After a lively Ashes Test in 1961, the MCC had the square inspected and decided to excavate and re-lay over the back end. They were hopeful the pitch for the Test against Pakistan in 1962 would be true. Quite apart from the damage to batsmen, early finishes to Lord’s Tests had rather harmed the bank balance. Hopes were dashed when, faced with a humid atmosphere and a green pitch, Javed Burki decided to bat. Fred Trueman and Len Coldwell enjoyed their morning, sending Pakistan in for lunch at 76 for six. Over the next day or so, England built up a first innings lead of 270 and thirty minutes before the close of play on Friday, Pakistan fell to 77 for four.

  • MITCHAM WICKET KEEPERS Mitcham Cricket Club Has a Long
    MITCHAM WICKET KEEPERS Mitcham Cricket Club has a long tradition of having fine wicket-keepers. It isn't known where this tradition originates - that is lost in the mists of time. But it may be that it dates from the end of the 19th and start of the 20th centuries. Around this time Mitcham was blessed with a series of county-class keepers: A.F. (Alfred Clarke), Herbert Strudwick, Ernest Bale and Dan Sullivan. Who was the best of them? That seems impossible to judge from this time distant. Maybe Strudwick. Both Bale and Sullivan were understudies to Strudwick at Surrey. And after all, he played 27 years for Surrey, 28 Tests for England, and held the record for dismissals in first-class cricket (1493) until this was finally surpassed by John Murray (1527) and Bob Taylor (1649). But then, Strudwick said that he "played very little for Mitcham for they had in A.F.Clarke a far better man than I could ever dream to be".
