SCHOOLS CRICKET IN 2000

For most schools, this was a trying season. Coaching staff could partly blame the atrocious weather,

though they also faced mounting difficulties motivating players wrestling with the rigours of the

academic timetable. Rain cancelled or curtailed play the length and breadth of the land; Malvern

abandoned eight of their 23 fixtures, one more than in 1999. The theoretically drier south-east

appeared particularly hard hit, with three Kentish schools having an appalling time of it: like

Malvern, The Harvey GS called off eight games, Simon Langton GS described their season as

“totally disrupted”, while Sir Roger Manwood’s played just two matches in dry conditions. Similar

reports came from Haberdashers’ Aske’s and Christ’s. Finchley. Amid all this Home Counties

dampness, however, Merchiston Castle in Edinburgh reported perhaps the driest May and June for

15 years, Schools from the north-west also seemed largely unconcerned by the weather.

The pressure of examinations stripped many teams of their most experienced players, limited

opportunities for travel to midweek games and disrupted practice, claimed Elizabeth College. Even

when senior students were available, coaches reported periods of play when “minds were not

sufficiently focused on the game” (Bancroft’s) or that “lapses in concentration were a problem

throughout” (QEGS, Wakefield). And there were misgivings about a new exam for lower-sixth

students in 2001, which, it was felt, would do little to help. These difficulties, however, did allow

many young players an opportunity to make their mark, and King Edward VII and Queen Mary,

Lytham, and Tiffin both noted the progress of talented l3-year-olds.

The damp conditions were not ideal for strokeplay, and only two batsmen passed 1,000 runs,

six fewer than in 1999. One was Gordon Muchall of Durham, who did so for the second year in

succession, managing 1,003 runs from 11 innings at 16716, the country7s highest average. The

most prolific, though, was Christopher Warde of Dauntsey’s, who gathered 1,352 at 75.11, having

batted 21 times. These two were well clear of the field, which was headed by Brendan McKerchar

of Merchiston Castle with 871 ~ his 41 wickets at 13.95 made him the leading all-rounder. Then

came Ben Graham of Bradford GS, with 820, and Brighton’s Matthew Prior, with 801.

Muchall, who made five centuries, hit the summer’s only double—hundred, 204 not out against

St Peter’s, York. Among batsmen who passed 500 runs, four others recorded three-figure averages:Jean-Paul Duminy of Wrekin with 150.50, Robert Ferley of Sutton Valence (126.50), Clifton’s

Nick Willis—Stovold (114.66) and Matthew Bennett of Cranbrook (100.66). South Craven’s ChrisMeehan hit three unbeaten hundreds from seven innings.

994 Schools Cricket in 2000

Pranay Sanklecha of Brighton College bowled 256 overs, more than anyone else, and. with 45,

was the joint-leading wicket-taker with Owen Burwell of Stamford, whose average was a mere

7.33. Others to reach 40 wickets were Neil Bezodis of Reigate GS (42 at 1235), Tim Denyer of

Royal GS, Worcester, John Reynolds of Wellington School, and McKerchar (41 each), and Nick

Murrills of Manchester GS (40). No one took nine wickets in an innings, the best return coming

from Norwich’s George Walker. who captured eight for eight against Colford. William Bates of

Queen's, Taunton, dismissed 37 batsmen at 8.75 each, including seven for four against Wyclifie

College. Four bowlers did the hat-trick. including Westminster‘s Pierre Bell, who went one better

and claimed four in four.

Leading all-rounders — McKerchar aside — were Sanklecha, who complemented his 45 wickets

with 631 runs, the Oundle pair of Martin Dobson (677 runs and 32 wickets) and Jonathan Outar

(583 and 30). and Trevor Smith of St Peter’s. York (570 and 33).

Of the six unbeaten schools, Royal GS, Worcester, had by far the best record. winning 18 of

their 22 fixtures, the sixth-best season reported in ll’isden since 1980. The others were Bedford

Modern, Durham, Plymouth, St Paul’s and, for a fourth consecutive year, Radley College. King’s.

Taunton, won 12 of their 13 matches, losing only to Millfield. The absence of draws hints at the

move in schools cricket towards limited-overs games; almost all of Taunton's home games are 50-

over matches.

The fact that 33 schools could not find a single bowler with 15 wickets (the threshold for

qualification) — and a further 30 could offer just one — was not entirely the fault of the weather.

Several thought 15 wickets too high, given that the ECB limits quicker bowlers to eight-over

spells; others blamed the trend towards starting games afier lunch.

The five British schools who took part in the 14th Sir Garfield Sobers Schools Cricket Festival,

held in Barbados in July, were Alleyn‘s, Dauntsey’s, Pangbourne, St George‘s, Weybridge, and

Wellington HS. As in 1999, Grenada Schools won the competition.

Details of records broken, other outstanding performances and interesting features of the season

may be found in the returns of the schools that follow.

ECB SCHOOLS EAST v ECB SCHOOLS WEST

At RAF Vine Lane, Uxbridge, July 1 1, 12. ECB Schools East won by 32 runs. Toss: ECB Schools

East.

Sterling work by groundsman Doug New allowed a prompt start to the second day after torrential

rain had washed out the first. With half the match lost, it was agreed to adopt a 55-overs-a-side

format. The East chose to bat on a good pitch. but soon lost both openers to Morris. Unfazed,

Prior and Clarke rebuilt the innings, taking the score from 24 to 74. Then Benning, who made

an unbeaten 75, shared fifty partnerships with Andrews and Wyld, and guided the East to 229. In

reply, the West never quite hit their stride: they preserved their wickets, yet could not break free

from some tight spin bowling. Watson hit 46 from 73 balls, but neither Thompson nor Evans

could increase the tempo when they were falling behind the asking-rate. Benning added to hIS

impressive batting display with an economical spell of six overs. including three successive maidens.

The West eventually lost by 32 runs — the margin of their 1999 victory.

ETON v HARROW

At Lord’s, May 25. Harrow won by 19 runs. Toss: Eton.

Harrow won the traditional fixture for the first time since 1975, when it was still played over

two days. This was its first year as a simple limited-overs match, to circumvent over—cautious

declarations; the change had been thwarted by a washout the previous season. Another wet morning

delayed the start until 2 pm. and reduced each innings from 55 to 40 overs. Nick Compton, whose

grandfather Denis had made the first of his many appearances at Lord’s 70 years earlier, was soon

at the crease, He added 68 in 18 overs with Dunbar, who hit six fours and a six, before both fell

to Aubrey-Fletcher’s spin. Eton seemed well on course for victory when their captain, Ferreira,

steered them to 98 for two. But Compton and Willetts snatched three wickets for no runs in seven

balls, triggering a fatal collapse of eight for 26 in six overs.

and 66 have been drawn. Matches during the two world wars are excluded/ram the reckoning.

Thefuture was reduced/ram a two-day. m’o-innings-a-side match to one day in 1982, and became

a limited—overs future from 1999. Forty-nine centuries have been scored, the highest being 183

hundreds in a match. in 1907. The highest score since the First World War is 161 not out by

M. K. Posh of Harrow in 1975, Harrow's last victory before 2000. Since then Eton have won in

1977, 1985. 1990 and 1991. Harrow in 2000, the 1997 and 1999 matches were abandoned and

George Bayer and Simon Kent began the season in cracking form 7 prepared to chase any target

—and four of the first five matches were won. However, the middle order seldom gave the expected

support. Adam Askew and Toby Martin performed reliably with the ball but, like the batting, the

bowling lacked depth. The side contained four qualified coaches.

Master i/c: M. de WeymarnProfessional: P. Dawson

South African exchange student Jean-Paul Duminy made an immediate impact when he droppttd

a skier off the first ball of the season. After that, however, he never looked back, hitting 602 111115 l

at an average of 150.50, thought to be a school record. Stuart Blount had a happier season than

in 1999; now recovered from injury and with a remodelled action, he gave the attack a much-

needed cutting—edge.
