  • I played my first village cricket match with the Free Foresters cricket club. Using my GoPro Hero 10, I filmed the match and my batting innings which was played against the Cheshire Gents Cricket Club. I really enjoyed the day and look forward to more matches with the Free Foresters.

    Genuinely the nicest wicket-keeper I've ever seen, I wish there were more people playing the game with his friendly good humour instead of the usual string of abuse masquerading as "banter".

    Awesome Gareth. Sylvester Clarke was a lightning quick West Indian fast bowler. He played county cricket and missed out on playing more test cricket due to competition from Roberts, Holding, Garner, Croft and Marshall. Went to Australia in 1981/82 and then went to South Africa on a rebel tour. Jimmy Cook was the opening bat for the rebel South African team- he faced one ball from Sylvester Clarke and decided it was time to wear a helmet! Unfortunately, he died very young. The son looked to have inherited his father’s genes.

    • @MrHistorian123
      @MrHistorian123 Před rokem

      I saw Sylvester Clarke play for Surrey against Yorkshire and he was extremely quick and intimidating.
      If it hadn't been for his stupidity of throwing a brick into the crowd and nearly killing a spectator in India, he might have played a lot more test cricket, because that incident let Michael Holding take his place.

    Great idea to play with the Free Foresters. What a great way to play village cricket and get to know people with the same interest. And most of the team come from all over England. Understood that the very friendly captain lives near Gloucester, but you played in Cheshire, and that up to 90 games all played away during the season. Assume that the bulk of the team know each other, and arrange to meet somewhere before the match. Still a huge logistic event to organise, and the players need plenty of time to travel etc etc. On to your performance Gareth...good innings, but i think you had in your head a big 4 to make your 50 and to hit the winning runs. Great day out for you, and many new friends met along the way

    Thanks for the enjoyable video. Sylvester Clark was a phenomenal and fearsome fast bowler. Apart from his test career, he enjoyed great success and was a vital cog in the incredible performance of the Transvaal “mean machine” in SA during the 80’s under the legendary Clive Rice. Probably the strongest first class team that there has ever been anywhere in the world.

    Gareth, as a fellow South African, you need to know more about Sylvester Clarke (if you don't yet know his story....you most probably around 10-15 years too young to have seen him play.)
    As mentioned in the comments above, he came to SA with a rebel Windies team. After that tour he played for the Transvaal Mean Machine captianed by Clive Rice which arguably will never be eclipsed as the best provincial/county side ever. He was a feared fast bowler , as good as Curtley Ambrose, Malcolm Marshall or Courtney Walsh.
    Side note: That Transvaal team dominated SA cricket for many seasons in the 1980's and had the likes of Jimmy Cook, Henry Fotheringham, Alvin Kalicharan, Kevin MacKenzie, Kenny McKewen, Graeme Pollock, Ray Jennings, Alan Kourie, Spook Hanley, Neil Radford, Sylvester Clarke, Hugh Page, Roy Pienaar and Vince van der Bijl. All of that talent combined was better than just about any other cricket team on Earth and then they were captained by one of the best all rounders to have ever played the game, Clive Rice.
