The world of Cricket was shocked last Thursday evening when the news broke that David Moss, former Master i/c Cricket at Manchester Grammar had died suddenly. I knew him primarily as a colleague when I taught with him at Manchester Grammar School around 20 years ago, but his influence went much wider.

 

David studied Chemistry at Trinity College, Cambridge before joining the staff at Manchester Grammar in1977. It quickly became clear that David was a gifted teacher with a real empathy for those boys, who struggled with the complexity of his subject. David remained at MGS for his whole career until his retirement in 2017. It was also evident that he was a gifted cricket coach, despite being a modest cricketer himself, and had become Master in charge of Cricket by 1979, when Wisden first started publishing the names of masters i/c and coaches. David once disclosed to me that he disliked the term “Director of Cricket” that many ex-pros working in independent schools are now titled.

 

David went on to unearth a huge amount of talent at MGS including Michael Atherton, John Crawley and his brother Mark, Mark Chilton and current Merchant Taylors’ cricket coach Gary Yates. David was also known to many as the manager of various Lancashire age group sides, especially the Under 19s over the years and there are many hundreds of players competing in the various leagues all over Lancashire that were discovered by David’s eye for talent.

 

David was also a former chair of the Schools Cricket Committee when it was under the auspices of the HMC and one of the instigators of the National Schools Boys Under 18 T20 competition. David was still involved in the organisation of this competition as North West organiser. It was poignant that his old school, MGS had made it to Finals Day at Arundel Castle last Sunday for the first term ever.

 

David had emailed me to say he was looking forward to attending and dare say he would have been immensely proud of seeing MGS take the field on what I regard as one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world.

 

I was asked to lead a tribute to David before the start of MGS’s first match at Arundel where I spoke briefly of David’s legacy after which a minute’s silence was observed by players, officials, and sizeable crowd. This was followed by applause led by Mark Williams, one of the umpires for the day and a direct contemporary of David’s at Trinity, Cambridge. Sadly, Manchester Grammar were unable to progress beyond the semi-final, being beaten by Tonbridge, though I am sure David would have looked on with pride had he been there.

 

I enjoyed working with David and had the pleasure of winter coaching with him while at MGS, hearing him use his mantra of “balance is power”, a phrase that I still use when coaching!  We regularly used to chat at break time in the common room and often discussed the Comp that he took an interest, especially the exploits of young players. Eventually, he invited me to become one of his talent scouts especially when I took up umpiring while teaching at MGS.

 

In his retirement, he was still heavily involved with Lancashire as he was elected as a vice-president and became their Pathway manager and Head Scout. He followed England around the world during the winter and often sent me emails from far flung places.

 

David was an inspirational coach, and a massive influence on many youngsters teaching them the values of the game and to play it in the right spirit that hasn’t always been evident of late.

 

Rest in Peace David

 

The news in cricket this week has been dominated by the Bairstow dismissal at Lord’s on Sunday and the debate that has followed. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the whole affair, it does once again bring in to question the ‘Spirit of Cricket.’ I am pleased to hear that many games played in our schools this year have been played in an admirable spirit, especially as we introduced the General Conduct Regulations, initiated by the ECB for recreational cricket, into schools’ cricket. This was evident at the National Schools T20 on Sunday where batsmen walked before being given by the umpire and ‘fielder noise’ was limited to encouragement.

 

With boarding schools in particular, finishing for the summer at the end of last week, many schools are playing in festival and after term games. In a season where the first three weeks were washed out, many schools played no cricket until after the Coronation. It’s a testament to many masters i/c cricket that they have prioritised cup competitions to get a conclusion before the end of term.

 

Next week’s column will feature the various festivals taking place around the country such as the Silk Trophy and the BOWS festival. Masters i/c are also reminded that the paperwork for Wisden has dropped into their email inboxes in the last week and I would be grateful if this can be completed and sent back as soon as possible and definitely by the cut-off date of the 11^th August. After this date, we cannot guarantee inclusion in next year’s Wisden.

 

We have enjoyed some glorious weather this year once again, though with the best will in the world, the elements often have had the last laugh as it did at Shrewsbury last Thursday when the finals day for the Cricket Paper National Girls Under 18 Hundred took place. Heavy rain interrupted the first semi-final between Repton and Rugby, with the former winning on DLS, before washing out the day and three of the four teams will have to return to Shrewsbury in September.

 

The Cricket Paper National Boys Under 17 had its semi-finals last week with the final scheduled for last week, Shrewsbury secured their place with a victory over Repton, while Winchester beat Forest to set up an enticing final at Loughborough University in September.

 

The National Schools Boys Under 18 T20 was played to a conclusion at Arundel on Sunday in cool but dry conditions. The first semi-final featured Manchester Grammar and Tonbridge, with the latter setting a par target of 158, that the Northern champions failed to overhaul. Perennial qualifiers King’s Taunton met twice winners Malvern in the other semi final with the South West winners swamping the Midlands representatives by overhauling the modest 110 run target in the 14^th over, for the loss of only 2 wickets.

 

This set up an enticing final with a new winner of the trophy assured. King’s got off to a flyer and set the highest total of the day, a seemingly impregnable 168 to win. As has happened in most years since the Finals day moved to Arundel in 2011, the side batting first managed to defend their target, with Tonbridge all out for 134.

Limited commentary this week due to my hoepital treatment earlier in the week.

Once again, a rather abbreviated set of scores this week due to the A level and GCSE exams being in full swing and of course, the start of half term.

 

Some games took place on Saturday with most schools involved in games against their Old Boy’s XIs. For the uninitiated, many schools hold their speech day/prize-giving on the first Saturday of half term when marquee hire companies make a killing. Part of these celebrations involve the 1^st XI playing a team of Old Boys and possibly the Cricketer Cup side in preparation for their first match in the competition.

 

Having spent the last half term teaching at Charterhouse, covering for illness in the Geography Department, I watched some of the game on Saturday and quickly realised that the Old Carthusians XI wasn’t the strongest opposition for the 1^st XI. With many recent alumni still playing regular club cricket and the fact that league cricket is now largely played on Saturdays, fielding a side to give the 1^st XI a good game is still a challenge for many Old Boy’s clubs.

 

Some schools like Shrewsbury realised this when their head moved Speech day from a Friday to a Saturday about 15 years ago and moved their Old Boy’s fixture to a Friday.

 

The National Schools T20 is now reaching the final phase in the group stage and there will be a report in next week’s column.
