This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred and fifty years ago, on a warm August afternoon, Edgar 'Ned' Willsher (1828-1885), a left-arm quick bowler from Kent playing at The Oval for England against Surrey, was ‘no-balled’ six times in succession. Ned threw down the ball in exasperation, and left the field with his fellow professionals. A compromise was reached. Ned apologized for his quick temper, and the game restarted the following day, without any noticeable change to his bowling style. But the incident put the game’s authorities, who had long failed to enforce the rules consistently, onto the back foot. Ned’s transgression – his hand was higher than his shoulder – led to a change in the Law in 1864 and the legalising of overarm bowling, the biggest-ever single change to the conduct of cricket. Today’s bowlers are still working out new ways of delivering the ball overarm. Willsher himself served his county team loyally for over twenty seasons, taking well over a thousand first-class wickets. He was a regular in the bigger representative matches of his time. In recognition of his status in the game, he captained an England side to North America before such a position was thought to be an amateur prerogative. Poacher turned gamekeeper, he was 'there' when listing first-class umpires started in 1883. Giles Phillips traces the career of a farmer’s son from East Kent as a successful player and umpire and his struggle to make a living off the field of play.

Book Synopsis Cricket in America, 1710-2000 by : P. David Sentance
Download or read book Cricket in America, 1710-2000 written by P. David Sentance and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-03-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket was played in Virginia in 1710 and was enjoyed on Georgia plantations in 1737. Teams representing New York and Philadelphia faced each other as early as 1838. By 1865, Philadelphia was considered the best cricket-playing city in the United States, competing against Canadian, English and Australian teams from 1890 to 1920. This 30 year span was essential to the formation of America's sports identity--and by its end, while the sport of baseball drew increasing attention, the game of cricket moved from being the game of America's aristocrats to a safe haven for America's nonwhite immigrants who were excluded from baseball because of Jim Crow laws. Here, the game's unique multi-ethnic, religious and cultural tradition in the United States is fully explored. The author explains cricket's ties to the beginnings of baseball and covers the ways in which the game continues to play an important role in America's inner cities.
Book Synopsis Cricket, Literature and Culture by : Anthony Bateman
Download or read book Cricket, Literature and Culture written by Anthony Bateman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his important contribution to the growing field of sports literature, Anthony Bateman traces the relationship between literary representations of cricket and Anglo-British national identity from 1850 to the mid 1980s. Examining newspaper accounts, instructional books, fiction, poetry, and the work of editors, anthologists, and historians, Bateman elaborates the ways in which a long tradition of literary discourse produced cricket's cultural status and meaning. His critique of writing about cricket leads to the rediscovery of little-known texts and the reinterpretation of well-known works by authors as diverse as Neville Cardus, James Joyce, the Great War poets, and C.L.R. James. Beginning with mid-eighteenth century accounts of cricket that provide essential background, Bateman examines the literary evolution of cricket writing against the backdrop of key historical moments such as the Great War, the 1926 General Strike, and the rise of Communism. Several case studies show that cricket simultaneously asserted English ideals and created anxiety about imperialism, while cricket's distinctively colonial aesthetic is highlighted through Bateman's examination of the discourse surrounding colonial cricket tours and cricketers like Prince Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji of India and Sir Learie Constantine of Trinidad. Featuring an extensive bibliography, Bateman's book shows that, while the discourse surrounding cricket was key to its status as a symbol of nation and empire, the embodied practice of the sport served to destabilise its established cultural meaning in the colonial and postcolonial contexts.
Book Synopsis Cricket Country by : Prashant Kidambi
Download or read book Cricket Country written by Prashant Kidambi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket is an Indian game accidentally invented by the English, it has famously been said. Today, the Indian cricket team is a powerful national symbol, a unifying force in a country riven by conflicts. But India was represented by a cricket team long before it became an independent nation. Drawing on an unparalleled range of original archival sources, Cricket Country is the story of the first All India cricket tour of Great Britain and Ireland. It is also the extraordinary tale of how the idea of India took shape on the cricket field in the high noon of empire. Conceived by an unlikely coalition of colonial and local elites, it took twelve years and three failed attempts before an Indian cricket team made its debut on the playing fields of imperial Britain. This historic tour, which took place against the backdrop of revolutionary politics in the Edwardian era, featured an improbable cast of characters. The teams young captain was the newly enthroned ruler of a powerful Sikh state. The other cricketers were chosen on the basis of their religious identity. Remarkably, for the day, two of the players were Dalits. Over the course of the blazing Coronation summer of 1911, these Indians participated in a collective enterprise that epitomizes the way in which sport and above all cricket helped fashion the imagined communities of both empire and nation.
