  • 10072 Bob Laptop Woolmer and Eddie Desktop Barlow
    10072 Bob Laptop Woolmer and Eddie Desktop Barlow Have you heard of Bob Woolmer, the former coach of South African cricket team? Unlike other conventional coaches, Woolmer relies on his laptop computer for storing and analyzing information on players, selecting team, planning match strategy etc. Since his laptop is his constant companion, people call him Bob Laptop Woolmer. Having seen Woolmer in action during World Cup ’99, the BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) officials sacked Gordon Abacus Greenidge (he was not willing to use computers) and decided to appoint someone as charismatic as Woolmer for coaching Bangladesh cricket team. So, Eddie Barlow was appointed as the new coach. They say that he is no less than Bob Woolmer with his computer. Then why don’t you ever see him with his laptop? That is because he doesn’t have one! Actually, he has a desktop PC, and he loves his computer so much that people call him Eddie Desktop Barlow. Now, to select Bangladesh national team for the next World Cup, Barlow has asked BCB to call a number of players to BKSP camp, so that he can minutely observe them before selection. Accordingly, BCB invites around 100 players to join BKSP camp. Barlow’s strategy for selecting the best team is as follows. He will observe each player’s batting, bowling and fielding capabilities individually, and each player will have three individual scores in these three aspects (batting, bowling and fielding). He will store each player’s scores in his hard disk. After he has scored all the players in this way, he will use his computer to select the best combination.

  • Bill Alley 1919-2004
    Bill Alley 1919-2004 • Played 1st Grade for Petersham and 12 matches for NSW • Professional boxer, winning his first 28 fights • Played County cricket for Somerset • Umpired 10 Test matches Bill Alley was a “legend” as a cricketer. Strangely for this left hand batsman and right arm medium pace bowler, his legendary status was earned in England after a solid grounding playing 12 times for New South Wales scoring three centuries. William Edward Alley was born at Hornsby on 3 February 1919 and went to school at Brooklyn near the Hawkesbury. His first job was on an oyster farm. He joined the Northern District Club and made his 1st Grade debut in 1938-39. After five seasons transferred to Petersham. In his early days with Petersham, he travelled to Sydney each Saturday morning returning on the paper train later that night or early Sunday morning. He was also an outstanding boxer who won his first 28 fights when he turned professional. A mishap in the nets while practising with Petersham where he sustained a broken jaw put paid to his boxing career however, and he thereafter concentrated on cricket. In his first season in 1943-44 with Petersham he scored 1,413 runs which remained the Sydney 1st Grade record for 63 years. He scored six centuries that season including tons against University (141*), North Sydney (119), Wests (100) and Mosman (111*) in successive matches. His best score was against Randwick when he hit 230 not out including 12 sixes and 21 fours with his first 100 coming in 59 minutes.

We tell the story of that fight and the impact it had on the country and the players, both black and white, who were caught up in it. Lanark Kinross and Western Perthshire. D'Oliveira was aware of the political discussions surrounding him during , and the pressure on him was intensified by the scrutiny of his supporters and opponents in England and South Africa.

Because of more rewards players were defaulting their commitments to their National boards and were playing for Packer. His example was followed by the England batsman and clergyman David Sheppard , who declined to tour South Africa, refused to play the team in , and spoke out publicly against the policies of the South African government despite efforts by the MCC to silence him. Nothing was scored on the ball. While the general public were baffled that a man who just scored a century against Australia could be left out of the team, the English cricketing press were divided on the decision.

  • Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller Starts to Look at the Most Controversial Form of Dismissal
    Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller starts to look at the most controversial form of dismissal Of the 40 wickets that fell in the match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan at Cheltenham that ended on 1st August 2010 as many as 18 of the victims were dismissed lbw. Was this, I wondered, a possible world record? Asking Philip Bailey to interrogate the files of Cricket Archive, I discovered that it was not: back in 1953/54 a match between Patiala and Delhi had seen 19 batsmen lose their wickets in this way. However, until the start of the 2010 season the record in English first-class cricket had stood at 17, but, barely credibly, Cheltenham had provided the third instance of a match with 18 lbws in the course of the summer. Gloucestershire had already been involved in one of these, against Sussex at Bristol, while the third occasion was the Sussex-Middlesex match at Hove. Was this startling statistic for 2010 an indication that leg before decisions are more freely given nowadays? It seemed to correlate with an impression that modern technology has given umpires a better feel for when a ball is likely to hit the wicket and that the days when batsmen could push forward and feel safe were now over. I determined to dig deeper and examine trends over time. This article confines itself to matches played in the County Championship since World War I. I propose looking at Tests in a future issue. The table below shows how the incidence of lbw dismissals has fluctuated over time.

REVIEW Mike Marqusee, Anyone But England, Cricket and the National Malaise, Verso, London, 1994 Vishnu Padayachee Regular readers of Transformation may wonder why the editorial collective agreed to the publication of a review of a book on English cricket. Some explanation may therefore be in order. We have over the years carried virtually nothing about the appropriation of sport in the larger process of South Africa's social and political transition, a subject which would be entirely consistent with the journal's editorial focus and policy. Gerry Mare's review of Albert Grundlingh et al's "Beyond the Tryline: Rugby and South African Society' {Transformation 27, 1995), is an exception. But this 'silence' on the subject of sport and politics still does not explain why we are reviewing a book on English cricket, by a 'deracinated Marxist of American Jewish (pi 1)' extraction. There are at least two answers to this. The first relates to Marqusee's overall project, that of trying to understand the relationship between cricket and society in England, especially in a period in which the game has been undergoing far-reaching transformation. The issues he raises and the conclusions he reaches in this regard are very relevant to recent South African experience, into which can be added the further complexities of cricket transformation in a era of rapid political and societal change.
