Raman Subba Row: OW who saved Surrey and changed cricket

The will be a strange, sad, empty space on a bench near the boundary of the Old Whitgiftians’ Croham Road cricket ground in South Croydon this summer. Raman Subba Row 1932-2024 It is a spot where Raman Subba Row used to sit in the share, half a pint of cool cider in hand, watching the old boys’ team play and happy to chat with any who happened to pass by. For Subba Row, former Surrey and England…

2024 Libra Equinox

Sunday, September 22, 12:44 UT

Chart erected for Washington, DC

I typically set up all the next year’s solstice, equinox, and cross-quarter charts in late November. Been staring at this one for ten months, and what I keep coming back to is that close trine between Sun/Libra and Moon/Gemini.

The thing is, those are Air signs - and a problem for all Air signs is that we spend far too much time inside our own heads. We build our little theories and expectations about how things should be and should go.

The problem with that is that Other People Exist - they may not on board with any of our schemes, or only a part of them. Someone doesn’t do what we thought they would do, and it messes up our plans. We end up disoriented and unable to function.

I think it’s going to be especially important this season to listen to others. You know the euqation: two ears and one mouth = listen twice as much as we speak. And not only for the purpose of finding common ground - people whom we assumed were “on our side,” just may not be. Libra season seems to be like a test of poise.

*+=*+=*+=

Here in the Northern hemisphere, it’s Mabon, and the flowers I associate with the season are asters (purple) and chrysanthemums (many):

My mom had a very green thumb (which I did not inherit), and in autumn was always bringing home some mums to coax into bloom.

As far as food and drink go, there’s just one item for me: apples. Apple cider, caramel apples, apple pie (my mom baked an excellent deep dish apple pie), homemade applesauce. This is the time of year for the county fair, back where I grew up in Michigan, so there are memories of midway treats.

Still hearing crickets at night (and at times in the day as well). The trees are beginning to turn color, evenings and mornings are chilly, and the very highest mountain elevations may see some snow this weekend!

Mike Denness was born 1st December 1940, Bellshill, North Lanarkshire.

Denness is the only Scottish born person to have captained the full England cricket team,  I would like to point out the two famous cricketers who captained England are sometimes classified as Scots, Douglas Jardine and Tony Greig both had Scottish parents, but Jardine was born in Mumbai and Greig in South Africa.

He was born in Bellshill, but the family moved to Ayr when he was young. With the Denness home situated adjacent to Ayr Cricket Club’s Cambusdoon ground, the young Mike gravitated towards that game.

He was not solely a cricketer. At Ayr Academy, he was a member of the legendary unbeaten rugby XV which included two other future national captains: Ian Ure, who captained the Scotland team in a non-cap international against Israel during the 1967 world tour, and Ian “Mighty Mouse” McLauchlan, who captained Scotland on a record number of occasions.

While he was a good enough rugby player to go straight into the Ayr RFC 1st XV on leaving school, he was a far better cricketer, winning his first Scotland cricket cap when still at Ayr Academy. His promise attracted the attention of Kent, where he made his debut in 1962, recommended to the county by another Scot to have played for them, Jimmy Allen, then a team mate at Ayr. He played more than 700 first-class matches and List A matches over his 22-year first-class career. He was a right-handed bat, either an opener or going in first wicket down.

Few contemporary batsmen were more stylish than Mike Denness at his peak, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tallish and slim, well-balanced, immaculately dressed on and off the field, possessed of a fine array of strokes and an excellent cover fieldsman to boot, Denness looked a model cricketer in every way. It was his misfortune that when those qualities won him the England captaincy, after Ray Illingworth's dismissal, he lacked the support of one of the players on whom he was most dependent. 

Geoff Boycott, who made no secret of how acutely he coveted the captaincy himself, played only the first six of Denness's 19 Tests as captain, which fatally holed England's prospects against Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson in Australia in 1974-75. 

Deposed when Australia won the first Test of 1975 at Edgbaston, Denness took his medicine with typical graciousness. He later became an ICC match referee but, at Port Elizabeth in 2001-02, his decision to sanction six Indian players, including Sachin Tendulkar, caused such a furore that the Indian and South African boards barred Denness from officiating in the next match, at Centurion. The ICC responded by withdrawing Test status from the game.

Mike Denness died in April 2013 after a battle with cancer during his final days as president of Kent

Just caught up with Omegaverse, and ch 5 was all I hoped for and more!

Boy, I loved Stu slowly and tentatively getting accepted in Jimmy and Ali's friend group! Yay Ali for being so perceptive that Stu isn't really happy hanging around with Kevin and his friends. And boo Kevin for starting drama between Jimmy and Stu, by telling him to hit on Ali as a way of testing Jimmy 🙄😤 Just when things were looking up too, and Jimmy was warming up to Stu 😡

Also, jealous Jimmy unfff!!! ❤️‍🔥But I felt so bad for Stu in that scerréene man, Jimmy get off my baby boy! Don't threaten him like that! You have no idea how hard all this is for him! I can't wait for Jimmy to find out Stu's an omega, and how it impacts their relationship. Also, same for Ali, although I feel like Ali might suspect that there's more to Stu than meets the eye, but is keeping his mouth shut about it because he isn't sure/in case he might be wrong.

And then the Stu/Fred scene was so hot too! And Fred knowing Stu's secret all along ahhh.... 🤌🏻✨😩 I have a hunch as to how Fred knows about Antarax and therefore Stu must be omega, but I'm gonna keep shut 😏🤐

Also, really appreciate the Joey mention (Ali's omega whose name begins with a J... Stu might not have put the pieces together, but I certainly did 😉), and this makes me think, are omegas in county/domestic cricket more common? Like, domestic cricket might sign on a player knowing he's omega, but international boards won't do that? Or were omegas forced to keep their secondary gender hidden, even in domestic and club level cricket, and it's only now, after VK's debut, that they have been empowered enough to come out, and cricket boards have become slightly more open-minded and allow some exceptions to their no-omega rule?

Ahh yay! So glad you enjoyed it :D

Yeah, Ali and, as a by product, Jimmy are really trying with Stu, but if feels like every step forwards for them Kevin comes in and forces it to be two steps back. That totally won't be a recurring theme...

I might have to write some more jealous Jimmy... He's fun 😏 Ahaha, the perils of knowing more than the characters - I think, for me, although Jimmy trusts Alastair like no one else, any other alphas flitting around makes him nervous. I mean, just take a look at some of the other England alphas. Jimmy doesn't trust them to respect Ali and his relationship, and with Stuart having spent so much time with those alphas he is a byproduct of that mistrust.

Ali and Jim will find out. It's... Yeah, you'll have to wait and read 😉 (hope that was cryptic enough to have you worried 😜)

Yup, Freddie has known since that very first encounter - it was more poignant than Stuart might think. We've got a few theories on how Freddie knows, they get explored a bit at the top of Ch6.

It poses an interesting question - about domestic/county teams - because we know everyone has to declare (Stuart does in Ch1 when he joins Leicester). Not really something I thought about until writing this chapter and honestly this is only a year after VK and Tim make their international debuts so our omega here will have already have to have been in the team. It's much easier to lie to counties because it's a tick a box situation, no tests done, but our omega is out (as Ali knows) so they will have declared honestly. ECB don't really have anything directly to do with the counties bar using them as talent pools, so I guess they let the domestic teams chose for themselves.

This is something I'll probably explore a bit more when we get to other player's fics :)

Thanks for the comment! I'm really glad you're enjoying it 🥰

Rishabh Pant Enjoys First Nets Session In Indian jersey After 16 Months, Gears Up For T20 WC

Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant had his first nets session for Team India after at least 16 months, ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup opener against Ireland, scheduled for June 5.

The ICC T20 World Cup will be played in the West Indies and the USA from June 1 to 29. The Men in Blue will also play Bangladesh in their only warm-up game on June 1 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Pant, who returned to competitive cricket during the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year following a life-threatening road accident in December 2022, will be making his much-awaited return to the blue colours of the Indian jersey.

In the recently concluded IPL 2024, Rishabh's team Delhi Capitals finished in the sixth spot with seven wins, seven losses and 14 points and failed to move to playoffs. He scored 446 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of over 155 with three half-centuries and emerged as the team's top run-getter.

Pant looked in great shape while practicing, having lost a lot of weight, and sported a much leaner look ahead of the tournament.

In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Pant said, "This is one thing I missed a lot (practicing with the Indian team and playing for them). Getting back on the field with the Indian jersey on, it is a different feel altogether and this is something I missed a lot. I think seeing the teammates and meeting them again, spending time, having fun with them, enjoying having conversations, really enjoying it."

Pant said that playing in the USA is a different prospect and it has opened a whole new channel for the sport.

"We are used to playing in certain countries but this is a different prospect. It has opened up a different channel for sport because I feel cricket is growing around the world and getting in a country like the US and getting the exposure here would be nice for cricket as well as USA cricket I guess," he said.

He said he is getting used to the conditions and the sun shines a little brighter here in the US and there are new pitches.

"So just getting used to conditions over here and let us see how it goes. Hopefully, I make it count and make it more better from here," he concluded.

In seven T20 WC matches and five innings, he has scored 87 runs at an average of 21.75 across 2021 and 2022 editions, with the best score of 39.

India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Meanwhile, the most-awaited blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. They will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India has reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, semifinal in 2015 and 2019, the title clash of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023, T20 WC final in 2014, semifinals in 2016 and 2022 but failed to secure a big ICC trophy.

India will be aiming to win their first T20 WC title since they won the inaugural edition of the tournament back in 2007 in South Africa. In the last edition held in Australia in 2022, India lost to England by 10 wickets in the semifinals.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj

[ad_1] James Anderson has suffered a "mild strain to his right groin" just a month before the Ashes get underway, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced late Sunday. The 40-year-old Anderson, the most successful fast bowler in Test history with 685 wickets, sustained the injury on Thursday's opening day of Lancashire's County Championship match against Somerset at Old Trafford and took no further part in a match that ended in a draw on Sunday. The ECB added Anderson's fitness will be assessed nearer the time of the lone Test Test against Ireland at Lord's starting on June 1.England are due to name a squad for the Ireland game, which precedes a five-match Ashes series against arch-rivals Australia commencing on June 16, later this week.Anderson had a scan on the injury on Saturday, with Lancashire coach Glen Chapple telling the BBC it was not "anything too serious".Nevertheless, England will want to avoid a repeat of the situation in the 2019 Ashes opener at Edgbaston where Anderson bowled just four overs before pulling out, having torn his calf playing for Lancashire.With substitutes unable to bowl, his absence left a huge hole in England's attack as Australia won by 251 runs.That series ended in a 2-2 draw, with holders Australia retaining the Ashes.Anderson's latest injury adds to a growing list of fitness problems suffered by England fast bowlers, with Jofra Archer, Olly Stone and Brydon Carse all sidelined in recent weeks.Archer returned from the Indian Premier League with a recurrence of his longstanding elbow problem, Stone suffered a hamstring injury playing for Nottinghamshire and Carse, uncapped at Test level, was laid low by a side injury playing for Durham.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)Topics mentioned in this article [ad_2] Source link
