Headmaster’s
Message
Prince Alfred College is very proud of its contribution
to first class cricket at state, national and international
level. PAC has more former scholars who have become
Captains of the Australian team than any other school
in Australia. The Prince Alfred cricketers first toured
the United Kingdom in 1990. Recent old scholars Kelvin
Smith and Thomas Andrews, both members of the 2011
touring squad, are in the Australian Under 19 team
currently contesting the ICC Under 19 World Cup in the
United Arab Emirates.
The young men from Prince Alfred College who are part
of the 2014 Cricket Tour to the United Kingdom continue
the school’s tradition in cricket. This is a wonderful
opportunity for our students and I thank all those who
have made this tour possible. My sincere thanks go to
all parents, staff, students and friends of the College
who have supported the cricket team.
This tour has been made possible only by the support
from host schools and I am most appreciative of the
encouragement from Headmasters and members
of staff of these schools, and of the generosity of
the parents and boys who act as hosts. There will
undoubtedly be many friendships established which
will stand for years to come.
The 2014 Tour will be led by Mr Russell Thompson,
coach of the First XI squad. This is the second tour for
assistant coach, Mr Andrew McGregor, who will add
valuable expertise. Both are dedicated and committed
to the game. Peter Williams will act as team manager
in his final tour. The staff have been given enormous
support by the parents of the boys undertaking the trip thank you to everyone.
Our school’s vision is inspiring excellence. This cricket
tour is a unique opportunity for our talented young
cricketers to demonstrate their abilities and passion for
this great sport.
I wish the team every success and best wishes for a
marvellous tour.

Lord
Mayor’s
Message
It is with great pleasure that I provide my best wishes
for the Prince Alfred College 1st cricket team’s tour of
England and Penang.
Such opportunities provide amazing experiences for
the students, who I am sure will take away life-long
memories from the trip, as they further develop their
sporting prowess.
The tour will also see them act as ambassadors for
their families, Prince Alfred College, Adelaide and
South Australia. I have no doubt they will do us all
proud, on and off the field.
Adelaide is one of the great small cities of the world.
Not only are we consistently recognized for our
livability, but now also as a place to do business and
to visit.
Recently profiled as one of only eighteen Smart Cities
world-wide by National Geographic, Adelaide was also
awarded the Future City of the Year Award in 2013.
Adelaide was voted one of the top ten places in the
world to visit in 2014 by Lonely Planet and New York
Magazine lauded Adelaide’s culture and recommended
tourists prioritize it ahead of Sydney.
South Australia has a special connection with
Penang and last year Adelaide celebrated 40 years
of a sister city relationship with its capital George
Town. This cultural, sporting, educational, trade and
tourism exchange is incredibly valuable and I am sure
representatives of Prince Alfred College will be warmly
welcomed.
Once again I wish the 1st Cricket Team the best of
success on their international tour and we look forward
to welcoming them home.
Yours sincerely
Stephen Yarwood
Lord Mayor of the City of Adelaide

Darren
Lehmann
Firstly, congratulations on embarking on your trip with
the School to the United Kingdom and for the first time,
as an “international” player.
With this comes a huge responsibility to yourself, your
school and most of all your country. You will love being
involved in a game that has given me so much and
always has, both on and off the field. You must enjoy the
game for what it is - a game. There are more important
things in life like family; your own family and the family
with whom you are now about to tour.
My experiences are full of great moments on the field,
but many more with the friends I have made for a life
time as well as the journey of understanding different
cultures and experiencing different countries.
As for the UK, it is a place where as Australians we
love to do well both personally and as a team.
Expect the wickets to be a lot slower than you are used
to and expect the Duke balls to swing more in overcast
conditions for the tour. However, if the sun is out I
guarantee there is no better place to play in the world
apart from of course our country.
Enjoy the tour for all it brings for you, the success and
even the failures on the way. Enjoy learning about the
game and life and I wish you all the best from the whole
of the Australian cricket team.
Regards.
Darren Lehmann
Coach of the Australian Cricket Team
Jamie
Cox
One of the great attributes of cricket is its international
appeal and many of the great experiences I have been
lucky enough to have in cricket have been spent abroad.
Whether it’s the cultural shocks of the sub-continent
or the natural beauty of Africa or even the sheer cricket
charm and history of England, travelling overseas with
cricket has provided me with a lifetime of mainly fond
memories and a wealth of life experiences that I am so
grateful for today.
Playing competitive sport can teach us so much about
ourselves as individuals and cricket is no different.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest life lessons from
cricket is the resilience required to cope with failure
because the reality is, even Bradman had more bad
days than good playing our great game!
These challenges are magnified when away from
support networks of family and the need to rely on team
mates for support will help to develop the life-long
friendships that cricket is great for forming.
To all lucky enough to be selected for this tour
congratulations and hopefully it is the first of many
opportunities that the game might provide in the future.
Embrace everything the tour has to offer and throw
yourself into as many activities as possible, as it is
only through doing this that you will return with the life
experiences that only travelling with a bunch of close
mates can provide.
Not everyone will take the wickets or make the runs
that you want but everyone will have the opportunity to
represent yourselves, your families, your school and SA
cricket with pride, so do not waste a minute!
Good luck!

Keith
Bradshaw
The voice of the BBC comes to SACA
Legendary cricket commentator and former English
bowler, Jonathon Agnew, renewed his old friendship
with SACA chief executive, Keith Bradshaw, during the
2013 Adelaide Test match. Here’s an edited version of
their chat on BBC Sport.
JA: Welcome Keith, I know you have a lot of friends back
in the UK, so thank you for joining us. How is Adelaide
treating you?
KB: I have really missed London and the UK, and Lords
and the MCC. I had a really wonderful, privileged time;
I have lots of treasured memories of my time over there,
but it is nice to be home again (in Adelaide).
JA: You’ve just gone from one great sporting venue
to another; they are traditional beautiful grounds in
their own way. What stands out for me is that feeling of
tradition. You?
KB: When I was at Lords, people would talk about the
two most beautiful grounds in the world being Lords
and Adelaide Oval, and I have been lucky to be CEO
of both. They both have that character, ambiance and
intimacy to enjoy watching test match cricket and enjoy
the occasion.
JA: When you arrived, had all the redevelopment plans
been approved? It is remarkable, and the lovely feeling
of openness, and the park and the cathedral. How did
you balance that out?
KB: I walk the queues every morning of the Test, and
talked to members very early on. The feedback has been
extremely positive. I think now people can see the oval
and experience it, and they are happy. Like you, I think it
was important to keep the hill, and the trees. They are
protected under state legislation.
JA: Yes, you look at the scoreboard and you know where
you are. Now, one of the big changes was also the
pitch, which caused some division among cricket fans.
That strip out there, the new drop-ins, how conscious
have you been about getting that absolutely right?
KB: Absolutely conscious, and particularly with my
background being as a cricketer, and understanding
how important it is - it is critical. We can have the best
facilities and best bricks and mortar, but if you don’t
have the correct playing surface and conditions, then
the spectacle is not the same. We want that traditional
battle between bat and ball. What was extremely
important to us was that we wanted to maintain what it
is like to play cricket at Adelaide Oval.
JA: So what is the process? Do you simply pick up the
trays and move them at the end of summer?
KB: There is a dedicated transporter who can pick them
up and move them, one by one. We move the cricket
tray and replace it with a football tray. It is just part of
recognising what it is, and what needs to be done to
make it a truly multi-purpose venue.
JA: So they are treated the same - whether they are in
the middle, or out the back on oval number 2?
KB: It’s fair to say now drop-in pitches have matured
with technology, and we are very lucky in South
Australia to have a good climate. We were trialling them
at Lords, but there were some challenges there with a
different soil type, and that was experimental. It might
be something for county games down the track.
JA: The traditions of the two venues; I love Adelaide, it is
a very traditional town. Is Adelaide Oval like the MCC?
KB: I used to be reminded that Lords was founded in
1787 - which was a year before Australia was founded,
so I was always put in my place! Lords is obviously a
very traditional place, and they are very passionate. The
people here, and particularly the SACA Members, are
very passionate and supportive of test match cricket.
JA: The whole thing, of running an event of this size, you
have not had a dry run, and suddenly there are 30,000
people here.
KB: Like all projects, there were some challenges, but
the reality is that it is very hard to test a venue for 30,000
people unless you actually have 30,000 through the
gates. I’m extremely pleased with how it has gone.
JA: Well, we all love it, so well done. I must just ask
about your health - how are you managing to balance
that with this job?
KB: Work for me was a huge motivation, along with my
family and friends. It was a shock (to have the cancer
return), but I had enormous support from the MCC
and SACA; I have managed to come through it again,
and feel very positive, and very well at the moment,
and very lucky that I can still get up in the morning and
live a normal life, because I know a lot of people can’t
do that. It was a shock and quite devastating to have it
come back, but also, from the experience I had, I know
how important it is to stay positive, not only for yourself
but for the people around you, so I needed to keep it
very positive and with the love of my family, I feel quite
blessed. And of course, there was the motivation to get
back to work, and see this incredible project come to
fruition.
JA: Well, I wish you well, we all do. So now, to this
match - how has it been marketing this event, compared
to being at Lords?
KB: I think it is very similar. In my time at the MCC, the
professionalism and the drive is quite strong in both
countries. The fans are very passionate, and the media
can get quite hostile when your team is losing, as we
certainly discovered when we lost over there!
End.

Oval
The new Adelaide Oval
In December 2013 the second Test Match of the
Commonwealth Bank Ashes Series began amidst a
backdrop of celebration and ceremony with the opening
of the brand new Riverbank Stand.
It is our traditions, our respect for history and our love
of the game that has made Adelaide Oval great. But it
is our focus on the future that has ensured the Adelaide
oval remains the most beautiful cricket ground in the
world.
As SACA president Andrew Sinclair said at the SACA
Test Match “What was once the most beautiful cricket
ground in the world remains the most beautiful cricket
ground in the world”. He went on to speak about his
chance meeting with Graham Gooch who went out of his
way to congratulate Andrew on the oval redevelopment
by saying to him “The way you have respected the
tradition of the oval with the scoreboard, the fig trees
and the hill yet still modernised the facilities and
spectator comfort is a credit to everyone who was
involved.”
The redeveloped Adelaide Oval hosted international
cricket for the first time and records were set during
the five days of the match as fans flocked to the new
look venue.
A total of 153,800 cricket fans over five days
Fourth highest test attendance on record
First time in history of test matches at Adelaide Oval
that more than 30,000 people have attended on each of
four days of cricket
More than 170,000 fans used the footbridge over 5 days.

The new Riverbank Stand – in a shapshot
The south roof is 147 metres wide, with 14,000 bolts
used
The south roof is 52 metres (12 storeys) above the pitch
The south roof weighs approximately half the weight per
square metre of previous stadium designs
The South stand roof is a “toroid”, which means it is not
perfectly curved, each connection is unique in geometry
Corporate boxes and function spaces to cater from eight
people to 1500
Seven bars
Eight food outlets
Seating for 14,000 people
77% of seats are under cover, giving fans protection

No spectator is more than 40m from the nearest food
or beverage outlet, or a toilet.
The total oval redevelopment was completed in March
2014 when the Eastern Stand was opened taking the
total oval capacity to over 50,000.
With India touring Australia next summer and the ICC
2015 World Cup match between India and Pakistan in
March 2015 already sold out the future of the new oval
looks promising.

Ryan
Harris
One of the biggest decisions I made as a 19 year old
was deciding whether travelling overseas to England
was going to benefit my cricket and probably more
importantly whether it would make me a stronger
person. Living at home was great fun but also easy.
Life was good living with my parents having everything
done for me; cooking, cleaning...
An opportunity came for me to head over to England to
play league cricket. I had just finished school and had a
part time job in a sport shop which I thoroughly enjoyed.
However, all I wanted to do was to play cricket so after
discussing the opportunity with my parents I made
the decision to head to England. This was a massive
decision, leaving home, having to fend for myself. It was
something I was excited to do but more importantly it
was going to make me grow up as a person, as well as
improve my cricket. Another reason I wanted to head to England was
because my father’s family came from there and my
dad was born in a place called Leicester. I was very
keen to see where dad and his family were born and
where he spent the first few years of his life. England is
full of rich history, beautiful scenery and amazing old
buildings and so the opportunity to see and experience
this was something I really wanted to do.
So an amazing life experience was ahead of me and
a great life experience it was. I was at club called
Gerrards Cross, a cricket, tennis and social club forty
minutes outside of London. People were great and very
welcoming. My job wasn’t only to play cricket. I was also
put in charge of their junior teams as a coach which
was a massive learning curve for me, having to arrange
teams for games, training sessions and getting players
to and from games. This was a big responsibility for a
young bloke to take on but I can honestly say that I did
all that was asked of me and took so much away from
the experience.
12
You have an opportunity as sixteen and seventeen year
olds, to travel to a place such as England which has so
much history and cricket makes up a lot of that history;
the history of the Ashes (You may want to remind them
of a recent 5-0 result!), how the game has progressed
over time and all of the little villages with so much
cricket tradition and history. It is a great opportunity, if
time permits so try and see as much of it as you can.
Lords, the home of cricket, is a place that tells the story
of how our great game originated. I have been lucky
enough to play there three times and I can tell you, it is
a fantastic feeling standing out in the middle playing a
test match for Australia. However, probably the thing
that gets the hairs standing up on the neck more is the
walk from the changing rooms to the middle, down the
stairs and through the long room with hundreds of MCC
members applauding you as you make your way out on
to the ground. That is something that I will never forget
and something I hope all young cricketers look forward
to and can experience.
England conditions can be very challenging and quite
different to playing at home. The grounds can be
smaller, the wickets a lot softer and at times you have
to wear two, three, four jumpers because it gets so
cold. If I can offer some advice, get yourself some hand
warmers for your pockets because your hands can get
very cold. The ball can be hard to catch at the best of
times let alone when your hands are frozen, and I mean
literally frozen!! However as a batter, which was my
strength when I was younger it teaches you a lot about
your game; watching the ball harder, moving your feet
and waiting for the ball to come to you as it can hold
up in the slower softer wickets. As a bowler, pitch the
ball up more than you would at home. At times there is
more swing, at times no swing and with a damp ball,
you are trying to get your body warm so you can run
into bowl. This can be very difficult at times! Also you
will be using different cricket balls. The Dukes ball is
predominately used in England and not the Kookaburra
ball. It is slightly different but adds to the fun as to how
to bowl with it and also look after it.
All of the above experiences have all helped me to
be where I am today. I have been to England a dozen
times, mainly for league cricket and a couple of times
for quick stints in county cricket, all of which gave me
priceless experiences for when I returned there for the
Ashes last winter; knowing the wickets, how to bowl
with the Dukes ball, how to cope with cold weather and
wet grounds, I put down to the times I travelled there
when I was younger. Of course I didn’t know that I would
be there ten years later playing an Ashes series but so
happy that I had those experiences at such a young age.
I see this as a fantastic opportunity to better your
cricket experiences and probably more importantly
your life experiences. Some of you may go on to
represent Australia one day, (I hope all of you do!) but
one day if you do, this tour will definitely come back to
help you as it did me.
Also I should explain my relationship with the
coach who is taking you overseas. Mr Thompson or
“Thommo” as I know him has had a massive impact
on my career from my time at the best cricket club in
Australia, Northern Districts. Mr Thompson coached
me and the club for a number of years and mentored
a lot of big names that came out of the club. He
taught me a lot about the game and a lot about life.
You couldn’t have a better person to take you on this
journey and I can guarantee that you have the best
person in charge, not only making you into better
cricketers but also better men.
I hope the trip to England goes very well and most
importantly you enjoy the experience and enjoy the
game of cricket. Meet as many people as you can and,
like me, you will make lifelong friends through this
great game.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the memories...
How does one even begin to trawl back through over
twenty years of involvement with cricket at Prince Alfred
College and in particular six wonderful cricket tours?
My first memory of cricket at Princes is that of coaching
an 8A cricket team against our traditional rival school
St. Peter’s College in the late 80’s and meeting Peter
Warnes with whom I have shared a close friendship
ever since. It is no surprise that friendships and people
dominate my recollections because the game of
cricket, more than most, lends itself to reminiscences,
anecdotes and varying interpretations of sometimes
brief incidents on the field. There is no other game
in which a dropped catch, near run out and general
mayhem on the pitch can result simply in a dot in the
scorebook!
Intercollegiate cricket matches between Princes
and Saints have been held since 1878. Indeed it is,
I understand, the oldest continuous four day cricket
match of its kind in the world. I have many fond
memories of this unique contest. Some are the result of
hard fought victories, some on the other hand because
of disappointing performances from our side or heart
breaking losses to a superior opponent. The growth and
experiences gained by boys from both schools, however,
is the fondest memory of all. It would devalue the
history, tradition and significance of this annual fixture
to simply quantify its worth to one school or the other in
terms of wins and losses.
PAC held its first UK cricket tour in 1990 under the
guidance of the late Malcolm Dawe, long serving 1st XI
cricket coach. Ever the gentleman, Malcolm organised
a wonderful tour which set a bench mark for all
subsequent tours. Felsted School has been a constant
for tours over nearly thirty years and we are very
much looking forward to sharing in the school’s 450th
celebration when we play in its international festival in
late June. Mark Surridge and Charlie Knightley have
been superb hosts and we have also been delighted
to welcome Felsted boys both as “gappers” and as
members of cricket tours here in Adelaide.
King Edward’s School in Birmingham is the only other
school which we have visited on every tour and once
again the custodians of its cricket Martin Stead, Dave
Collins and Lawson Roll have been superb hosts and
great allies. It would take far too long to thank all who
have played such significant roles in supporting our
tours but certainly Tonbridge, Bedford and Worcester
have also been fantastic in this regard.
Special thanks go to my travel companions with whom I
have shared many special tour experiences.
They are:
1990: Malcolm Dawe and Rob Shaughnessy
1998: Ken Watson
2001: Chris McGuire
2005: Peter Karamoshos
2008: Steve Clohesy
2011: Gary Jenkinson and Andrew MacGregor
2014: Russell Thompson and Andrew MacGregor.
I would like to thank three Prince Alfred College
Headmasters, Messrs. Webber, Codrington and Tutt
who have always supported me and cricket at Princes.
Finally to all of the parents and especially the boys
over the journey... Heartfelt thanks for your support and
friendship over the years - it’s been fun!
Thanks for the memories!

Russell Thompson
Coach
This is Russell’s first tour as the new coach of the PAC 1st XI. He comes to the position
with vast coaching experience, including Senior Coach of Northern Districts Cricket
Club in Adelaide since 2000, along with head coaching positions for South Australian
State U17 and U19 Teams. Russell has been fortunate throughout his playing and
coaching career to have experienced up close the efforts players make that lead to
success in the game and he believes this tour provides a marvellous opportunity
for the boys to be exposed to many games in a short period of time and to be able
to learn from each other and the opposition that they will come up against. He is
looking forward to the UK tour and the opportunity to work with the boys in a tour
environment, sharing experiences and developing relationships which all can look
back on in the future.
Andrew MacGregor
Assistant Coach
On his second cricket tour of England, Andrew will use all his knowledge and
experience from his physical education background to guide the team with it’s physical
preparation and player management throughout the tour. With an innovative cricketing
background, Andrew will be a valuable asset to the tour.
Peter Williams
Team Manager
The veteran of these tours in both age and experience, Peter has visited England on
six previous tours (and this is officially his last). In 2014, he has just completed his 18th
and final year as PAC’s 1st XI coach, handing the title over to Russell from this tour
onwards. His touring experience will be invaluable as the boys take on a collection of
English sides while faced with the rigours of the game and touring life in general.

Mark
Scott
From Worcester to Westminster....and back again
When Peter Williams asked me to pen a few words for
this tour guide in reflection of my cricket journey, I’ve
considered how very fortunate I have been to have spent
a lifetime waking up and looking forward to my day’s
work. To have spent time playing with and against some
of the game’s finest and most influential players and
then, when coaching became my vocation in life, to have
the opportunity to share ideas with people who love and
care for the game, makes me feel both humble and
proud.
I was first given a bat to hold when I was four. Fifty years
on, the feeling I get when a young lad shows me his new
bat, hasn’t changed like a child on Christmas morning.
If it wasn’t for the child in us would we play games at
all?
The challenges the young men of PAC will face in
England will be many and varied. Absorb yourselves
in every facet of the game and take opportunities to
make friends. Take in England’s cultures. Respect your
opponents and the traditions which cricket has handed
down to all who have played and apply yourselves
each day.
My coaching mantra is “Do the simple things well”.
In 35 years, that has never changed...
Good Luck!
Mark Scott
Cricket Coach at Worcestershire and
Westminster School (Adelaide)
Being surrounded from an early age by men, who
understood the game, was a stroke of good fortune.
My school did not even play cricket so the club
environment became my “leaving” school. I played
exclusively men’s cricket from eleven years old. I learnt
through a type of osmosis, and each opportunity that
was presented to me, I took full advantage of. I never,
ever did less than my very best even if an innings ended
in failure. From an early point in my life, batting was a
business.
Being signed by Worcestershire gave me my greatest
thrill which created an opportunity to open with the
great Glenn Turner. All you ever saw with Glenn was the
“maker’s name”. He hit the ball straight and impressed
upon me the need to PRACTISE hitting straight.
Every day, I learnt more about batting and all of its
many nuances from 22 yards, than from any coach.
Around this time, I began my love affair with Australia.
Salisbury D.C.C., now Northern Districts was a hard
school. With time on my hands I learned to coach and
when a hand injury in 1984 ended my professional
playing cricket, I progressed into the coaching arena
full time.
A position was created at Westminster School in
Adelaide in 2005, which has enabled me to help,
encourage, support and enthuse to the next generation,
the wonderful pleasures to be gained when you throw
yourself into the learning of our game.
I helped many years ago Darren Lehmann, in his early
days at Salisbury. The sense of fun he displayed when
he started has never left Darren. Look where he sits
now!!

Where cricket can take you...
Twenty-four years ago I was lucky enough to be a
member of the PAC inaugural world cricket tour. As a
17 year old I was used to spending my holidays in Victor
Harbour with family and friends, so to be packing my
bags for a four week tour taking in Malaysia, the UK and
the US was something I will never forget.
One of my most memorable moments was walking out
into the field at Bedford School with my team mates,
only to be told by the coach that I wasn’t playing that
day. What a small world that my brother-in-law (to be)
was in the same year as I at Bedford School, although
he spent more time on the river than on the cricket
field. That was just one example of many memorable
moments experienced on this tour and I am still
grateful for the effort of parents, staff and the school as
a whole to get us around the world.
Upon leaving school I continued to play cricket at the
Sturt District Cricket Club where my family had a longstanding association over a period of more than fifty
years. Having started playing in the D grade a few years
earlier, at the age of 20 I progressed in to the A grade
team as a wicket-keeper/batsman. A few years later I
had the opportunity to play league football for the Sturt
Football Club. After two years of trying to play both
sports at a high level, I decided to take a couple of years
off cricket to concentrate on my football. After two years
of not playing cricket I missed the game too much so I
retired from football to return to Sturt DCC and my first
love, cricket.
From then I played in the “A” grade until 2009 with the
ultimate moment being an “A” grade Premiership in the
2005/2006 season. Without much time to celebrate, my
passion for cricket took me half way around the world
and I was packing my bags for my first ever experience
of playing a cricket season in the UK, something that
I had always wanted to do, but because of my football
commitments wasn’t possible. At the age of 33 I was
finally following my dream to experience a cricket
season in England, one of the other great cricketing
nations.
24
I loved the experience so much that I returned for the
following two seasons. If any aspiring cricketer has
thoughts of playing cricket in England then I can only
recommend it (although not the weather) and I am sure
that you will have a truly fantastic experience.
One of the reasons why I am such a strong advocate of
the UK is that I now call this country my home.
On a night out with team mates in 2008, a tall,
attractive, world-champion rower walked into the bar
and into my life and became my wife in 2010, following
my permanent move here earlier that year.
After another four years playing cricket at Henley and
winning two championships, the final one as playercoach, and following the birth of my two daughters,
Clara in May 2011 and Georgia in September 2012,
I retired from playing in September 2013.
I am still heavily involved in the game as senior coach at
Henley and also a specialist wicket-keeping coach for
Berkshire County Cricket Club junior section.
Cricket is a game that we all love. I sincerely hope
that you all appreciate and embrace this opportunity
because you might not get another one like it. For me,
cricket has been life-enhancing and life-changing - and
I am sure it will be for you too.
Good luck and go get ‘em!

Cricket

A proud cricketing history
That grand Englishman and cricketer, Lord Harris, one
time Governor of Bombay (now Mumbai) and an undersecretary for India under Lord Randolph Churchill once
wrote:
‘You do well to love cricket, for it is more free than
anything sordid, anything dishonourable than any game
in the world. To play it keenly, honourably, generously,
self-sacrificingly, is a moral lesson in itself and the
classroom is God’s air and sunshine. Foster it my
brother, so that it may attract all who can find the time
to play it, protect it from anything that would sully it, so
that it may grow in favour with all men’.
(From The Art of Cricket, Sir Donald Bradman)
Prince Alfred College lies on the eastern fringe of the
City of Adelaide within comfortable walking distance of
the CBD. The school was founded in 1869 after Prince
Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, laid the foundation
stone of a new secondary college for the education
of boys, along Wesleyan Methodist denominational
lines. The school thus avoided the title of Wesley
College (Adelaide) by being named in honour of its
distinguished guest.
From the time of Prince’s inception sport was its
greatest outdoor activity and very soon cricket
established itself as an important part of school life.
At the time, cricket was entering a ‘golden age’ in the
colony and a number of clubs had already formed.
Any analysis of cricket at Princes would be inadequate
without proper mention of St Peter’s College with whom
the school has competed in an annual Intercollegiate
cricket match dating back to 1878. According to Richard
Sproull this is ‘the oldest unbroken annual contest in
the history of cricket’ (Weekend Australian December
5/6, 1992) a bold but hither to unrefuted assertion
which states that the ‘Intercol’ outlasts the Melbourne
Grammar and Geelong Grammar rivalry as well as
matches between the esteemed British Public Schools,
Eton and Harrow. Indeed Test Cricket itself only began
in 1877 just one year before the Intercollegiate match.
The fierce but generally positive long standing rivalry
between the schools perhaps helps to explain to some
extent why cricket has played such an important role
in both schools and why so many young cricketers,
particularly from Princes, have progressed to first class
cricket.
St Peter’s College was founded some twenty years
before PAC and when the latter came into existence,
Archdeacon Marryat suggested in his remarks at
the end of year ceremonies of 1868 in the St Peter’s
schoolroom that there would be healthy competition
between the two schools. From those very early times,
as the eminent R M Gibbs noted in his History of Prince
Alfred College ‘Games were more than diversions’.
An early master at the school was Andrew Scott who it
seems was somewhat of a cricket hero. Scott in March
1874 played for South Australia in the colony’s first
match against a visiting English team.
The Headmaster gave the school a holiday to see the
first day of the match. Unfortunately Scott recorded
two ‘duck eggs’ when batting and had the misfortune
of dropping a catch from the legendary W G Grace.
Luckily he was able to bowl the great man soon after,
apparently sending the crowd into euphoria. Clearly
Scott’s influence in promoting cricket at the fledgling
school was not insignificant. Indeed individuals,
both teachers and scholars, have helped to define a
cricketing history and record for the college, which is
envied worldwide.
Cricket matches were played between Princes and
Saints in the early 1870’s but no record or details of the
matches can be found.
The two colleges played the first public schools cricket
match held on Adelaide Oval on March 7 1878. For the
record, St Peter’s won 84 runs to 37, on a day where
the shade temperature according to The Advertiser was
103°.
It is interesting that since the inaugural match the
Intercol has always been played at late November/early
December date. In 1899 the first four-day match was
played and this remains the case a century later.
The Intercollegiate cricket match has become a
barometer of team and individual development as well
as strength of character. To survive and prosper in the
cauldron of the Intercol is still every Princes cricketer’s
want.
Even at the turn of the 20th century familiar problems
still existed however. Purists bemoaned that after
the ‘oval’ match attendance at practice fell away and
that often replacements for players had to be found
at the last moment. Old scholars too were typically
critical of the conduct of players as well as the
team’s performances. In 1907, the old boys expressed
disappointment at fielders shying indiscriminately at
the stumps, lying on the ground when a boundary was
scored and appealing incessantly for LBW decisions.

Cricket
at Princes
Two Prince Alfred College old scholars of the late
nineteenth century helped as much as any one to
define the success of the school in ‘developing’ first
class cricketers.
The elevation of Ian and Greg Chappell to the captaincy
of the test team in the 1970s and 80s ensured a
remarkable record of cricket achievements from one
school that is unlikely to be surpassed.
In November 1885, just before his fifteenth birthday
and playing in his second Intercol, Joe Darling opened
the batting and made 252 runs. According to legend,
his hands were badly blistered and sore through batting
for six hours without a rubber grip on the bat handle!
In 1894, Darling played test cricket against the touring
English team and subsequently made four tours to
England, captaining the team on the last. Joe Darling
apparently came to the college on several occasions to
show the boys ‘how to hit and how to bowl’, something
Greg Blewett did a century later in the mid-1990s after
successfully debuting for the Australian team.
In the late 1960s, the Chappells, Causby and Woodcock
all represented South Australia in the same match
and according to Greg McKie in Australian Cricketer in
January 1991: ‘five players - four of whom reached test
ranks - from the same school in the same first class
team is an Australian record’.
The second luminary was Clem Hill who in 1893 made
360, retired, in the annual intercollegiate match. Like
his predecessor, Hill went on to play test cricket and
to captain his country.
By 1897 there were eight old scholars who had
represented South Australia and two who had gone on
to captain the test team, a remarkable achievement in
less than thirty years. The school continued to produce
its share of State players and would have had another
test player in 1914, when Charlie Dolling was selected
to tour South Africa but was unfortunately cancelled
because of World War I.
By the time of the Second World War, Prince Alfred
College had a proud but not unique record in producing
first class cricketers. However, against the trend, this
phenomenon has continued over the last 50 years.
John Dunning, a New Zealander and former test
cricketer, who had played against the infamous Douglas
Jardine, was Headmaster from1949-1969. His support
of the great game as well as the influence of cricket
masters Bill Leak and, particularly, F Chester Bennett,
were profound in helping to usher in a new wave of
outstanding cricketers who had honed their skills at
Princes. Dean Trowse and John Lill were pre-eminent
among them and in the 70’s, the Chappell brothers
Ian, Greg and Trevor, together with Ashley Woodcock,
John Causby, John Ducker and Brian Hurn, added their
names to the honour roll.
Chester Bennett’s influence on sport at the school
was enormous and he was revered for his knowledge,
patience and his force of character. Chester was himself
a State cricket captain and was once described by Ian
Chappell as follows: ‘he was a wise man; wise in sport
and wise in life.’
30
The statistic of four Australian test captains is certainly
overwhelming compared to other schools in Australia.
At a time when McKie suggest that the trend is
decreasing due to college cricketers playing on wickets
which are too perfect and playing against boys rather
than men, PAC continues to ‘produce’ first class and
test players. Tim May and Greg Blewett are the most
recent stand-outs.
To try to adequately explain this phenomenon is
beyond the scope of this discourse but tradition, a trite
term perhaps, may be the short answer. Possibly Ian
Chappell best summarised it in the Weekend Australian
in 1992. Explaining the Intercol he said: ‘you always
thought of the tradition involved in the match and you
knew the likes of Clem Hill and Joe Darling had come
before you and then went on to become Australian
caps’.

Old Scholars
Cricket
Prince Alfred Old Collegians Cricket Club
Prince Alfred College (“PAC”) is a college with a rich
cricket history and tradition. PAC has produced old
scholars that have become captain of the Australian
Cricket team (4), Test representatives (9) and 84 old
scholars that have played state cricket for South
Australia. It is a record that is unsurpassed!
For those old scholars who choose not to chase these
aspirations via the South Australian Cricket Association
grade cricket system, Prince Alfred Old Collegians
Cricket Club (“PAOCCC”) is a strong club both on and
off the field and caters for players of all abilities, from
the highest level of A1 Premier and PAOCCC has had
five teams for the past decade including four 2-day
teams and a 1-day team.
Having been lucky enough to be part of the 2001 tour,
I wish all members of the 2014 all the very best. It is
an opportunity of a lifetime and not one that should be
taken for granted. Lifelong friendships are built on a
tour such as this as well as with opposition players and
host families in the UK.
Finally, PAOCCC would like to wish Peter Williams all
the very best on his last cricket tour and thank him for
his significant contribution to cricket at Prince Alfred
College, which indirectly has benefited PAOCCC over
a very long period!
Brad Weidenhofer
Member of 2001 England Cricket Tour
Current Chairman of PAOCCC
PAOCCC was formed in 1932 and is one of the eight
founding clubs of the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association
(“ATCA”). In those days, four of the eight teams were
PAOCCC and PAC as well as our traditional rivals, St
Peter’s College and St Peter’s Old Collegians Cricket
Club. Today only 3 of the 8 teams remain (PAOCCC,
SPOCCC and Payneham).
PAOCCC continues to strive for and achieve significant
success, having won 11 premierships in the last
11 years (including the LOD premiership in season
2013/14). This follows just 7 premierships in the club’s
first 70 years! In addition, the club has had 20/20
success, having won the ATCA competition twice, the
South Australian Metropolitan Cricket Association title
as well as the Statewide title. The club has stamped its
authority as the strongest old scholar’s cricket club in
the ATCA and rivals some powerhouse community clubs
in terms of both quality of grade and number of players.
There is no question that the success of PAOCCC is
built on the back of the strength of cricket at PAC. In
fact, PAOCCC’s run of success follows some 7 of the 16
members of the PAC 2001 International Cricket Touring
Party becoming significant contributors to PAOCCC
over the past 12 years. These players include Sam
Tyler, Greg Carmody, Jack Dent, Sam Hurburgh, Sam
Richardson, Matt Thomas and Brad Weidenhofer who
have been the core of the A-Grade team during this
period. In addition, a further 3 members of this touring
party (Trent Smith, Jon Tamblyn & Brad Coles) have
played for the club at various stages.
