Cricket

The 1993 season provided ample evidence of the value of a major tour. Benefitting from the experience gained in South Africa and from the special team spirit that such a tour generates, the 1st XI had an excellent season. Undefeated on our own circuit, the only defeat came at the festival where the absence of James Lovell was crucial. The season was a particular triumph for the captain, Michael Davies, who fully deserved to be the first winner of the Colin Bosomworth Trophy, awarded to the most improved player. He was given great support by James Lovell and Richard Musgrave, other senior members of the team. A number of records were broken during the season. Seven centuries were scored, four by Michael Davies, who beat Norman Yardley's aggregate record by scoring 983 runs. He also beat James Burdass's highest individual score, when making 169 not out at Bradford G.S. There were again too many drawn matches, but several of these were very good games; the Durham match which ended with the scores level was a remarkable and exciting contest.

During the season two South African Schools, St. Andrew's Grahamstown and Selborne, East London, visited us. It was lovely to renew old friendships and to make new ones. Not unexpectedly the staff, boys and parents were a delight to entertain.

The batting was dominated by Michael Davies and Richard Musgrave; it was rare for both of them to fail. Michael scored his runs quickly, a great asset at the start of the innings. Richard played two superb innings when scoring centuries against Sedbergh and Ampleforth and has developed into an accomplished batsman, strong on both sides of the wicket. Tom Archer opened the innings with the skipper and his solidity and good temperament usually ensured a sound start to the innings. Late in the season, as he gained confidence, he played his shots with more freedom and should be pleased with his first full season in the 1st XI. Andrew Kay, still an Under 15 Colt, showed considerable promise and played some valuable innings. I hope that he will benefit from this year's experience. Toby Cockcroft had a mixed season. He is a poor starter, but once he got moving, he hit the ball very hard and it was good to see him score his first century against Loretto. With greater application it should not be his last. In his first season Scott Bradley played several useful innings. He has the ability to score a lot of runs. I hope that his concentration will match his ability, when he gets the chance to bat high in the order. Paul Taylor earned his place by scoring freely in the 2nd XI and it was a pleasure to see him bat with confidence in the 1 st XI. James Lovell was a considerable asset in the middle order. He hit the ball hard and always scored his runs quickly. Nick Ogden was secure in defence, but he had limited opportunities. Although at present he lacks power, he has the ability and temperament to make a good opening batsman. Naithan McBride had a frustrating season. He rarely had the chance to build an innings and he lost confidence. He has the ability to be an effective player in the future. It was disappointing to see Charles Roberts struggle for runs. No one could have tried or practised harder, but it was not to be his year.

The bowling was spearheaded by one of the best opening pairs I can remember at the School. Both James Lovell and Richard Musgrave had the ability to move the ball in the air and off the pitch and bowled with great stamina. It says much for the placid nature of the St. Peter's square that they did not take a lot of wickets. Of the support seamers, Scott Bradley showed promise on a few occasions, when he did not try to bowl too quickly and gave the ball a chance to swing. Late in the term Michael Davies bowled steadily under pressure; his last two overs at Durham were excellent. Toby Cockcroft had a disappointing term. He suffered a knee injury early in the season and never bowled with pace and rhythm. Naithan McBride switched from off-spin to medium pace and can swing the ball. At present he lacks the necessary accuracy, but with regular practice he could be an asset next year. The only spin bowler for much of the season was Nick Ogden who improved steadily and on occasions bowled very well. Hugh Shedden never found the consistency which he showed last season and spent much of the term in the 2nd XI. The way in which he, an old Colour, accepted the situation, continued to practise hard and led the 2nd XI with determination and good humour was an example to all.

The fielding was sound, if not over-athletic. James Lovell, the winner of the Fielding Cup, and Michael Davies set a fine example and Nick Walker kept wicket consistently well. Everyone tried hard during the matches, but there remained a reluctance to practise fielding.

The Senior House Cricket Cup was won comfortably by the strong Queen's XL In the final they defeated School House, who had to cope without the all-round ability of Toby Cockcroft. The Junior House Cup was won by Clifton who beat Temple in a close and exciting match.

My thanks again to Keith Mohan, whose enthusiasm and commitment to St. Peter's cricket remain undiminished. The boys are indeed fortunate to have such a dedicated coach. This year we not only lose five senior cricketers but also the support of their parents. We have been very lucky over the years to have the loyal support of so many parents, who come to support the whole team and not only their own son. My thanks to the Davies, Lovell, Musgrave, Roberts and Shedden families, we have greatly enjoyed their company. It was particularly pleasing that David and Ann Davies were able to watch so much of Michael's outstanding season.

Finally, congratulations to Michael Davies and Richard Musgrave on their selection for the Yorkshire Senior Schools' XL

2nd XI

The 2nd XI played ten matches of which three were won, two lost and five were drawn. For most games the side was captained by Hugh Shedden — Charles Roberts and Paul Taylor taking over when Hugh was playing for the 1st XI.

The draws against Durham and Pocklington made for some dreary cricket, neither side mastering the art of the right declaration which encourages their opponents to attempt to go for a win. The drawn game against Ampleforth, however, was very exciting, St. Peter's having batted first, steadily keeping our nerve against some fairly fierce bowling and refusing to make a declaration which could have lost us the match. The home team were given forty-five minutes and twenty overs to score 164 runs but in the last over were still 8 runs short of the St. Peter's total with only one wicket left. Hugh Shedden took 3 wickets for 38 runs in this game.

At home against a strong Worksop side which had lost only one game this season, the visitors declared leaving St. Peter's to score 191 runs in ninety minutes and twenty overs. Paul Taylor accepted the challenge, scored an unbeaten 116 runs, well supported by Nicholas Strong and Alistair Rigby — and the game was won.

The bowling of Neil Forshaw and Tim Davies was also noteworthy in the earlier part of the season, some exam weariness and lack of practice taking their toll later on.

All the games were played in an excellent spirit; much credit to all the boys who participated.

Colours were awarded to:

Matthew Dodgson, Nicholas Strong, Nicholas Middleton, Alistair Rigby, Scott Bradley.

Senior Colts Cricket

The first half of the term was disappointing. A drawn game against Sedbergh was followed by the worst batting performance of the season at Ashville where the School were dismissed for only 46 runs, the lowest total for several years, largely due to lack of concentration on a damp wicket which favoured accurate bowling. This was followed by a drawn game against Bootham where the outstanding player on the day was Bootham's captain who after an unbeaten century then ripped out four of the School's first five batsmen. Only solid batting by James Duggin and a swashbuckling innings by Nick Riggall made the score more respectable by the close of play. With both Barnard Castle and Bradford showing little enterprise in two negative games, half-term was reached without a win and also without the opposition being bowled out once. The latter was partly due to good batting tracks on the Wightman but largely due to the lack of penetration and consisting of the bowlers coupled with mediocre fielding. On the other hand, the attacking batting of James Reynolds and Stephen Mulryne was most prominent.

Immediately after half-term, the School did well to bowl out Manchester Schools' for 116 only to face the most outstanding bowler of the season in Z. Abbas who took 7 for 30 off 17 overs. Not only was he quick, he moved the ball a prodigious amount both ways! After a defeat at Ampleforth, the remaining five matches produced two victories and three 'winning draws' with Peter Barlow hitting a quick 68 against Leeds which included nine 4's and four 6's.

With the aggressive batting of Peter Barlow, Stephen Mulryne and James Reynolds coupled with the more deliberate approach of James Duggin, James Hutt and James Curley, the batting was the strongest feature of the side. In the bowling department only James Duggin showed consistency throughout the season although David Powell improved markedly during the latter half of term.

There is no doubt that by the end of term the team was operating more effectively and this was clearly evidenced in the field, however, the real potential of the side was not achieved largely through a lackadaisical approach to practices by a minority of the squad who were either not really interested in the game or were arrogant enough to think they didn't need to practise.

The following represented the Senior Colts:

J. Duggin (captain), J. Reynolds, J. Curley, J. Hutt, D. Powell, N. Riggall, S. Mulryne, P. Barlow, C. Ball, H. Donaldson, O. Addy, A. Fotherby and P. Clark. P. D. Northfield and J. W. R. Hutt

U.14 Colts

It was a great pity for the boys that so many matches were lost to the weather this season. This was especially true of the 'B' XI who played only three matches out of seven. The most striking thing about this year's coaching was the unfailing enthusiasm and willingness to learn shown by the whole squad. Every single player improved and there is strength in depth in this year group.

S. Leveson improved his concentration to record three fine half centuries in the latter part of the year. R. Rastall, M. Asgha, S. O'Keefe all made great progress with their batting, having worked hard at their weaker shots. It was also pleasing to see C. Ward, M. Vowles, T. Rossington, D. Curley, S. Goodrick, J. Bevan and J. Yeomans all score runs during the season. It was also good to see E. Goodall and T. Kiddle bat so well to help Queen's win a fine junior House match against The Manor. Certainly the hard work put in by the boys began to bear fruit as the season progressed. No less effort was put into the bowling with C. Bradley and G. Lewis developing into fine opening bowlers. C. Bradley has pace and is willing to listen to advice and try things out. His batting has also improved and he will be a real asset in the years to come. G. Lewis has learnt to control the swing and has gained in confidence with bat and ball. R. Rastall, S. Leveson, J. Price, W. Kaberry, M. Vowles and E. Chadwick all improved their bowling and showed considerable ability during the season. Certainly R. Rastall thoroughly deserved his 5 for 34 in the final game. The spinners made real progress learning new techniques and trying them. Certainly M. Asgha, D. Curley, S. O'Keefe and G. Francis all bowled well for the 'A' team during the season. It was also good to see R. Drever-Smith get wickets in the final game and to watch R. Triffitt, T. Holmes and E. Bray improve their line and length and ability to turn the ball. We were also very lucky to have two fine wicket keepers. In many years S. Goodrick would have made the job his but D. Hancock proved excellent behind the stumps. There will always be competition for places and this is good, and S. Goodrick's fine off-spin bowling will always be an advantage. My main criticism of the squad would be their ground fielding which at times resembled the "staff team" on a bad evening!! However, S. Wheatley was a real exception in the 'A' team as was R. Drever-Smith in the 'B's. Sam is fearless and tireless in his efforts. Robert always attacks the ball and has a wonderful "arm". The other members of the squad should remember this weakness next season and work on it. The catching was at times breathtaking and at others not so!! All the boys have ability but too often put the simple, but vital catches down. The sides were well captained and my thanks go to the boys who took on this difficult task. Certainly they tried to play positive cricket knowing that to win time cricket you must declare in time to bowl the opposition out. This will always entail the possibility of class as it did with Pocklington. However, if catches are taken those matches will be run. It is therefore sad to say that in at least one game this year the opposition made no attempt to win the game from 1.45 p.m. until 6.30 p.m. A more boring afternoon cannot be imagined. As Schoolmasters we must accept our responsibility to the boys on both sides and never allow negative cricket to be played merely to achieve a "result". If this sort of thing grows then it will kill schoolboy cricket stone dead, as there will always be something more "exciting" to do.

Finally, I must thank Messrs. Watkinson and Bellis for all their help this season and the parents for their support throughout. We will certainly look forward to continued success in 1994.
