Book Synopsis Tom Emmett: The Spirit of Yorkshire Cricket by : Jeremy Lonsdale
Download or read book Tom Emmett: The Spirit of Yorkshire Cricket written by Jeremy Lonsdale and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Hawke called Tom Emmett ‘the greatest “character” who ever stepped on to the field’. Born in Halifax in 1841, Emmett worked as a mill hand and did not make his Yorkshire debut until 1866. Almost at once he was part of the most destructive fast bowling partnership in England with George Freeman. In the 1860s, he once took 16 wickets for Yorkshire in an afternoon. In the 1870s, only one other player scored over 4,000 runs and took over 400 wickets in English cricket: W.G.Grace. Emmett had his best ever season with the ball in the 1880s, aged nearly 45. In all first-class cricket, he took over 1,500 wickets at under 14, bowling in an idiosyncratic style which included wides and balls ‘which no man had ever seen or dreamed of before’. For three decades, Emmett travelled endlessly to appear in club and county matches, and went to Australia three times in five years, appearing in the first Test match. He set records and won games, but also played in a style which at one time made him ‘the most popular professional in England.’ He pleased cricket followers with his wit and enthusiasm, but his life had a large share of tragedy. How he handled those highs and lows made him the true spirit of Yorkshire cricket.

Book Synopsis Edgar Willsher: The Lion of Kent by : Giles Phillips
Download or read book Edgar Willsher: The Lion of Kent written by Giles Phillips and published by Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. 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 The Making of New Zealand Cricket by : Greg Ryan
Download or read book The Making of New Zealand Cricket written by Greg Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally forgotten that cricket rather than rugby union was the 'national game' in New Zealand until the early years of the twentieth century. This book shows why and how cricket developed in New Zealand and how its character changed across time. Greg Ryan examines the emergence and growth of cricket in relation to diverse patterns of European settlement in New Zealand - such as the systematic colonization schemes of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and the gold discoveries of the 1860s. He then considers issues such as cricket and social class in the emerging cities; cricket and the elite school system; the function of the game in shaping relations between the New Zealand provinces; cricket encounters with the Australian colonies in the context of an 'Australasian' world. A central theme is cricketing relations with England at a time when New Zealand society was becoming acutely conscious of both its own identity and its place within the British Empire. This imperial relationship reveals structures, ideals and objectives unique to New Zealand. Articulate, engaging and entertaining, Ryan demonstrates convincingly how the cricketing experience of New Zealand was quite different from that of other colonies.

Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Cricketing Terminology by : Keith Foley
Download or read book A Dictionary of Cricketing Terminology written by Keith Foley and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foley (French, U. of Strathclyde, Glasgow) notes in the introduction the difficulty of a Scot trying to explain the game to a Frenchman, so perhaps therein lies the inspiration for his guide to the arcane lexicology. He offers some 3,500 entries and 6,500 examples, many defining and explaining technical cricketing terms, but others considering terms of art, informal and slang designations, cliches, and metaphors. Though his main focus is on the most recent terminology, he does cite terms that were current in earlier periods and are no longer common. He does not indicate how to pronounce the words, but perhaps he would have had to include the London, Jamaican, Australian, and Kenyan pronunciations for each. The cross-referencing is extensive.

Book Synopsis The Victorians and Sport by : Mike Huggins
Download or read book The Victorians and Sport written by Mike Huggins and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the sports that have spread across the world, from athletics and boxing to golf and tennis, had their origins in nineteenth-century Britain. They were exported around the world by the British Empire, and Britain's influence in the world led to many of its sports being adopted in other countries. (Americans, however, liked to show their independence by rejecting cricket for baseball.) The Victorians and Sport is a highly readable account of the role sport played in both Victorian Britain and its empire. Major sports attracted mass followings and were widely reported in the press. Great sporting celebrities, such as the cricketer Dr W.G. Grace, were the best-known people in the country, and sporting rivalries provoked strong loyalties and passionate emotions. Mike Huggins provides fascinating details of individual sports and sportsmen. He also shows how sport was an important part of society and of many people's lives.
