DURBAN DOINGS. Saturday, September 1G th, 1911. The cricket season is fast approaching, and practice at the nets will commence at Lord’s Ground on Monday next, the 18th inst. The Senior league will be composed of the six following teams :— Queen’s Park (last season’s champions), Casuals, Escombe, Grey- ville, Wanderers and Zingari. “ Dave ” Nourse and F. Jury will make welcome re-appearances in the Greyville team, whilst A. E. E. Vogler will captain the Escombe side. F. Jury was away last season, enjoying a well-earned holiday in Australia, where he performed exceptionally well in club-cricket, and it is possible that he will not be seen in the Greyville ranks this season as often as could be desired, seeing that the Natal Police, of which body he is a member, are playing Saturday matches as well. The season will open on Monday, October 2nd (which is one of the new public holidays under the Union) with a match between Natal’s successful Currie Cup XI. of last season and the Best of Natal; and, with tbe exception of perhaps the M.C.C. games in this town, a more interesting fixture has never been played in Durban. Twenty-two of Natal’s best cricketers will be engaged in opposition to one another, and all the eighteen players who wereselected to represent Natal in last season’s Currie Cup Tournament will be available, with the single exception of C. D. Saville, who is now domiciled in Johannesburg. It is proposed to select the best Currie Cup Team, who will oppose the remainder of Natal, the latter side including A. Nourse, A. E. E. Yogler and O. C. Pearse (the Maritzburg player), who were with the South African Team in Australia last season, and two other Maritzburg men. The match will also be considered in the light of a Test Trial match, for Natal places in the trial matches to be played in Johannesburg in connection with choosing the team to take part in the Triangular contest in England next year, and the following are the names of the twenty players who have already consented to participate:—The Rev. C. D. Robinson, A. Nourse, A. E. E. Vogler, G. C. Collins, H. W. Taylor, W . K. Thomson, L. R. Tuckett, H. Morley, D. Nicol, J. Cox, L. D. Daltou, 0 . C. Pearse, V. Pearse, D. K. Pearse, S. V. Samuelson, E. B. Morris, G. C. Anderson, C. Mulcahy, R. Blake and H. W. Chapman. As everybody is wondering just now who will be South Africa’ s fast bowler in England next year, special interest will be taken in the performances of J. Cox, Greyville’s fast bowler. It will be remem­ bered that Natal owed their success in last season’s Currie Cup tournament in a great measure to the fine bowling of the Greyville player, and his splendid feat of 8 wickets for 20 runs in the Transvaal match will be long remembered by those who witnessed it. Besides bowling with marked consistency throughout the tournament, he also headed the bowling averages of his club in 1910-11, and if his form is maintained this season there should be no question as to the strength of his claim for consideration by the South African Cricket Association. Followers of cricket in South Africa have been greatly pleased by the successes of C. B. Llewellyn (the old Maritzburg boy) in the Lancashire League, and also by the form shown by G. A. Faulkner in the few matches in which he has participated this season. The latter’s selection to play in the last two fixtures of the Scarborough Festival and his performances in both matches were especially gratifying. G. R. Cox, the Sussex professional, who has been engaged as coach by the Durban Cricket Union for the ensuing season, is expected to arrive in Durban on Sunday, October 16th, and his coming is being eagerly looked forward to by lovers of cricket in this country. A large crowd of enthusiasts will be bound to gather at the Point to welcome him on his arrival, and I, as a Sussex man, am especially pleased to think that he will be amongst us for the next few months. Although the many friends of Alec Hearne, the old Kent cricketer, will regret that he will not be here again this season, Cox will no doubt make himself quite as popular as the little man was, and will be yet another link between Natal cricket and the game as it is played in the old country.

A memoir and portrait of him will appear in our next issue.
