Durban High School boys who have represented South Africaas Springbok and /or “Protea” cricketers. Thesestatistics have been compiled from OfficialRecords, and are thought to be correct, immediately prior to the World OneDayInternational Cricket Cup in February / March 2015, and are current as at 8 February 2015. There are additionalstatistics forthose Durban High School boys who have represented theirCountry in the South African Schools / U19 teams.Andfinally there are statistics for Durban HighSchool boys in FIRST CLASS cricket, for various local and overseas provincial,county and stateteams. The first class records shown is by no means an exhaustive list, as many D.H.S. boys haverepresentedsuch teams. The compiler of this list would be happy to include any boys who HAVEplayed first class cricket, but are notincluded on the list, subject to the appropriate Qualification levels).

========================================================================== Section One A:

The TOP FIVE SOUTH AFRICAN cricketing schools: This is a simple statement of fact. There can be no argument when looking at the figures: Taking the number of D.H.S. boys who have represented South Africa at TEST, O.D.I., T20, and S.A. Schools level, then DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL is certainly the MOST SUCCESSFUL South African School in this regard. HERE is a short list of the top FIVE South African Schools: School Combined Number of Representatives* DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL 67 King Edward VII School (Johannesburg) 63 Grey High School (Port Elizabeth) 61 Bishops (Cape Town), and 59 Grey College (Bloemfontein) 48 (*) Combined means the number of boys selected for South Africa in full Test matches; O.D.I. matches; “T20” games andfor S.A. Schools. (S.A. U19 is not included, as no reliable listing is available).

========================================================================== Section One B(i):

Manager: Les Theobald Note:The Durban High School “All Time” First XI Cricket Team, bats with a TEAM averageTOTAL

of 412 runs (at their FIRST CLASS averages); and the team’s six best bowlers would,(again, at their first class bowling averages), dismiss their opposition for an average totalof just 297 runs.

Section One B(ii):

The DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL “CENTENARY” XI D.H.S. Old Boys XI Centenary Match. Played in 1966 as part of the D.H.S. 1866 – 1966 Centenary Celebrations.The D.H.S.O.B. XI played the “Rest of Natal XI” under Captain, Jackie McGlew. The D.H.S.O.B. “Centenary XI” team in alphabetical order was:

1 Peter DODDS 2 Richard DUMBRILL 3 Dennis GAMSY(Captain) 4 Trevor GODDARD 5 Geoff GRIFFIN 6 Grayson HEATH 7 Lee IRVINE 8 Jack KAPLAN 9 Barry RICHARDS 10 Hugh TAYFIELD 11 Colin WESLEY 12th Man: Arthur TAYFIELD NOTE: This team is not listed in BATTING order ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The team list was extracted from Jeremy Oddy’s book: “Where the Baobab Grows” (2008) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

The D.H.S.O.B. XI - CENTENARY CRICKET MATCH FURTHER NOTES: (by David Bennett)

• The Match was played on the D.H.S.O.B. Club main Oval, on 19 / 20 March 1966. The D.H.S.O.B. XI batted second and suffered a first innings deficit of 64 runs in favour of the Natal XI even though RichardDumbrill had hit a great century (114) in a partnership of 127 with Lee Irvine. On the second day, the Old Boys team were then set a second innings target of 188 runs to make in 150 minutes to win. The D.H.S.O.B. XI managed the runs in just 107 minutes, thus winning the match by three wickets. Goddard, Gamsy, Richards and Irvine would later play for SA against Australia in 1970 and so the D.H.S.O.B. XI of 1966 contained FIVE Springboks, ( Goddard; Hugh Tayfield; Griffin; Dumbrill and Wesley) and three others, G amsy,Irvine and Richards who were later to become Springboks (making EIGHT in all). And Arthur Tayfield had been 12th Man for South Africa. There were THREE men in the D.H.S.O.B. team who were wicketkeepers at a high level: Gamsy; Irvine and Kaplan. The “Rest of Natal XI” – captained by Jackie McGlew contained FOUR Springboks, namely Jackie McGlew; Peter Carlstein; Mike Proctor and Pat Trimborn. In addition, McGlew’s team contained a further two D.H.S.O.B. Natal cricketers, who were not selected for the School Centenary XI. They were Charles Sullivan and PeterMarais. And so of the twenty two players in the match, thirteen were D.H.S. Old Boys, and a total of fourteen, if we include Arthur Tayfield. ==========================================================================================

In 1973,Wisden named Barry RICHARDS as the “Leading Cricketer of the World”.

========================================================================== Section One J:

SOME INTERESTING RECORDS, FACTS and STATISTICS achieved by D.H.S. Cricketers in TEST and in FIRST CLASS Cricket. NOTE: Only the names of D.H.S. boys are in BOLD type in these notes.

1] The following six men have represented SOUTH AFRICA in ONE DAY

INTERNATIONAL (O.D.I.) Cricket: Hashim AMLA; Dale BENKENSTEIN; Jon KENT; Lance KLUSENER; Mike RINDEL and Richard SNELL.

Hashim AMLA and Tyrone HENDERSON have played “T20” cricket for South Africa. OTHER S.A. Schools who have produced some T20 “Protea” cricketers include: Grey College (Bloemfontein) (5); King Edward VII School (4); Grey High School (P.E.) (3) and D.H.S. (2). Most other S.A. Schools have just one or two T20 South African representatives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2] CAPTAINS: South Africa has been captained in Test Cricket by no fewer than

FOURD.H.S. Boys: Hashim AMLA; “Nummy” DEANE; Trevor GODDARD; Herbie TAYLOR.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3] WICKETKEEPERfor South Africa: Dennis GAMSY. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4] Hashim AMLA has represented South Africa at almost every important level: S.A.

Schools; S.A. U19 (Captain); S.A. XI; S.A. “A”; S.A. T20; S.A. O.D.I.; S.A. Test team (Captain), and the World O.D.I. XI.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5] Although Eric DALTON was primarily a batsman, he also bowled, taking 12 wickets

in Tests - including the wicket of the great Englishman, Wally HAMMOND, no less thanFOUR times. Eric DALTON was a “double Springbok” having also played golf for South Africa. He was the S.A. Amateur Golf Champion in 1950.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6] Geoff GRIFFIN was the first (and only) South African to take a HAT-TRICK in test

cricket, and he was also the first player to do so at the Lords Cricket Ground (1960). Griffin also represented Rhodesia at field hockey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7] Jon FELLOWS-SMITH played both cricket and rugby for Oxford University. “Fairless” NICOLSON also played cricket for Oxford. (It should be noted that in some

reference sources he has the alternate spelling of “Nicholson”)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8] Imraan KHAN represented S.A. Schools; S.A. U19; S.A. “A” and S.A. Test teams. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9] Lance KLUSENER represented S.A. at ODI and Test level; and also a World XI and

the S.A. “Masters” team, and a World T20 XI. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10] Claims by other Schools: Some boys have attended more than one School. For example, Herbie TAYLOR and Dale BENKENSTEIN attended both D.H.S. and Michaelhouse School. Sid PEGLER also attended K.E.S. (JHB.). Jon VANDIAR went to Glenwood High School, before attending D.H.S. Nick COMPTON was a D.H.S. boy, who later attended Harrow School, in England. (There are also a few others).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11] D.H.S. boys who have represented the famous “M.C.C.”: Sid PEGLER; George

SHEPSTONE; Herbie TAYLOR and Dale BENKENSTEIN have all played for the M.C.C. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12] Herbie TAYLOR was also a war hero, having been awarded the Military Cross in the

Great War, 1914 – 1918. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13] SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES: The following D.H.S. boys are known to have

represented the S.A. Universities Team: Mike CLARE; Richard DUMBRILL; Dennis GAMSY; Grayson HEATH; Jack KAPLAN; Peter MARAIS; Mike MELLOR; Richard SNELL and Tich WESLEY. JackKAPLAN was also Captain of S.A. Universities.

(Please note: This list may be incomplete). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14] Playing for the M.C.C. against Wales in 1930, Sid PEGLER decimated the Wales

batting line-up, taking 4/14 and 6/62 for figures of 10/76 in the match. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15] Dale BENKENSTEIN, B.C. COOLEY and Mike RINDEL were all selected for South

African touring teams, but were un-capped at Test level. BENKENSTEIN and RINDEL did both however, represent South Africa at One-Day International level, and were

Gold Medal winners at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. (See also Note 41)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16] Were it not for their Test careers having been curtailed by the isolation of South

African cricket in the late sixties, and early 70s, Barry RICHARDS (with a test

average of72.57) and Lee IRVINE (with a test average of 50.42) may have been

amongst the great test players for South Africa. RICHARDS played 339 first class

games, scoring 28,358 runs, a HS of 356 and he scored 80centuries and 152half-

centuries and had a first-class average of 54.75 over his very distinguished career.

IRVINE played in 157 first-class games, scored 21centuries, 46 half centuries and a

HS of 193, with 9,919 runs at an average of 40.48 – remembering that he was a

wicket-keeper batsman. Barry RICHARDS is considered by many experts to have

been the most “technically correct” batsman, ever, of ANY country. Perhaps the

highest compliment came from the greatest player ever, Sir Donald BRADMAN,

who described RICHARDS as "the world's best-ever right-handed opener". He

backed that up by includingRICHARDS in his best ever team, published after his

(Bradman’s) death. Barry RICHARDS has also played for the S.A. Masters XI. (See also notes 19 and 39)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17] B.C. COOLEY was selected to tour with the South African Test team to England in 1901. He remained uncapped on the Tour, but did represent South Africa against an M.C.C. team, which included the famous W.G. Grace, at Lords in June 1901. But

the match was not considered an “official” test. In 1924/25, V.C. ROBBINS was selected to play for South Africa against S.B. Joel’s XI (captained by Lord Tennyson). This was also not an “official” test match. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18] One of the leading D.H.S. cricketing families was the TAYFIELD family. They were brothers Hugh, Arthur and Cyril; and Ian, a cousin. Hugh played 37 tests for South Africa. Arthur was 12th Man in a Test for South Africa, but was uncapped. Arthur, Cyril and Ian all represented S.A. Schools. Whilst still a schoolboy, Arthur was selected for the NATAL team who played the touring M.C.C. in 1948/9. Between the four TAYFIELDS, they played 317 first class cricket matches, scoring a combined 7,771 runs, taking a combined 1,137 wickets. And they all performed well. Hugh had a highest score of 77 with best bowling of 9/113; Arthur had a HS of 205 and BB of 6/75; Cyril’s HS was 112 with BB of 4/27 and finally, Ian’s HS was 86 with 6/30. All these figures are at either Test or at First Class level. And of course there

is also the BENKENSTEIN family, where Dale played O.D.I. Cricket for South Africa, and his brothers, the twins Boyd and Brett who were both First Class players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19] DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL has the unique distinction of having FIVE PLAYERS in a TESTteam for South Africa – AT THE SAME TIME. It was the Second Test, vs England, atLords Ground in June 1960. The five were: GODDARD, WESLEY, FELLOWS-SMITH,TAYFIELD, H. and GRIFFIN. In perhaps what many regard as South Africa’s greatesttest team ever – the Springbok team of 1970 (who thrashed the touring Australians4 – 0), South Africa was also well represented by DURBAN HIGH SCHOOL. In the Firstand Second Tests, 1970 there were FOUR D.H.S. boys in the Team - RICHARDS, GODDARD, IRVINE and GAMSY. Barry RICHARDS scored 140 in the Second Test inDurban, with the great Graeme Pollock making his famous 274. Trevor GODDARDreturned match figures of 51 Overs; 26 Maidens; 68 Runs and 4 Wickets in the ThirdTest. This proves, at 1.33 runs per over, just how difficult it was to gets runs offGODDARD. Both RICHARDS and IRVINE scored centuries in the 4th Test, 2nd innings.(See also notes 16 and 39).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20] Nick COMPTON– whowent on to play for England, is the grandson of one of

England’s greatest batsmen, the famous Denis Compton.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21] Jack SIEDLE and “Fairless” NICOLSON, both D.H.S. boys (and both Springboks) when

playing for Natal vs. Orange Free State (1926-27 season) still hold the South African record, and also the World all-time 14thHIGHEST FIRST WICKET PARTNERSHIP record of 424 runs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22] Nick COMPTON (D.H.S.) and J.C. Hildreth, playing for Somerset vs. Cardiff at

Taunton, in 2012, hold the World all-time 8thHIGHEST SECOND WICKETPARTNERSHIP record of 450 runs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23]Dale BENKENSTEIN (D.H.S.) and O.D. (Otis) Gibson, playing for Durham vs. Yorkshire,at

Leeds, in 2006, hold the World all-time 11thHIGHEST SEVENTH WICKET PARTNERSHIP record of 315 runs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24] Lance KLUSENER was awarded the “PLAYER of the TOURNAMENT” for the

1999World O.D.I. Cup in England. His batting average in the Tournament was 140.50 and his bowling average was 20.58. In addition, KLUSENER holds the 2nd highest score (83 runs) and the 10th highest score (75*) in World O.D.I. cricket, for a No. 8 batsman. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25] Hugh TAYFIELD holds the BEST TEST bowling figures, in an innings, by a South African, of 9/113 – which also ranks 16th best, all-time in the WORLD for ANY bowler in Tests. Lance KLUSENER holds third place (South Africa) for the BEST TEST bowling figures all-time, with his 8/64, and TAYFIELD is again in 4th place with 8/69.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26] Hugh TAYFIELD is the THIRD FASTEST South African bowler (and first for a spin

bowler) to take 100 TEST wickets, in 22 Tests, behind Vernon Philander (19 Tests) and Dale Steyn (20 Tests). TAYFIELD is also the FIRST SOUTH AFRICAN, and the 4thFASTEST ever, in the WORLD, to reach 150 Test wickets in 29 tests – equal with the

South African fast bowler, Dale Steyn (also 29 tests). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27] Hugh TAYFIELD holds 8th place in WORLD TEST CRICKET for the highest total

number of wickets (37 wickets) in a five test series, and first for South Africans. Top of the World list is Jim Laker, who took 46 wickets in a five test series. Only Hugh TAYFIELD(who did the feat TWICE – 13/165 and 13/192) and Makhaya Ntini (once – 13/132) have ever achieved 13 wickets (for South Africa) a TEST MATCH, placing them on an elite World List, and the best of the South African test bowlers.

Hugh TAYFIELD is first for South Africa, and ELEVENTH highest in the WORLD, forTEST dismissals,Caught and Bowled – with 11 such wickets.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28] Most ECONOMIC BOWLING in TEST HISTORY: TWO D.H.S. bowlers feature very

prominently on the WORLD LIST for TESTS. The best South African, and THIRD BEST in World Test cricket is Trevor GODDARD with a career economy rate of just 1.64 runs per over. Hugh TAYFIELD is the 4th best South African, and 23rd in the World, with a career Test economy rate of only 1.94 runs per over. Trevor GODDARD’s Testbowling economy rate is the BEST, of ANY country, since 1949. In the 1957

Durban Test, against England, TAYFIELD bowled 137consecutive deliveries (nearly 23 six-ball overs) without a single run being scored against him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29] Trevor GODDARD holds the 2nd BEST ever (behind “Tufty” Mann with 0.50), figures

for TEST ECONOMY bowling rates, for South Africa IN A SINGLE TEST INNINGS. Goddard bowled 16* overs; 8 maidens; 12 runs and 2 wickets in the 1957 Test at Port Elizabeth against England, placing him 27th WORLD BEST, all-time. This gave him an economy rate of 0.56 runs per over. This feat was done a few times in

TESTSby both Trevor GODDARD and by Hugh TAYFIELD: GODDARD: 16* – 8 – 12 – 2 (0.56) vs. England, Port Elizabeth, 1957 GODDARD: 17 – 14 – 10 – 1 (0.58) vs. New Zealand, Dunedin, 1964 GODDARD: 25.2* – 15 – 22 – 1 (0.65) vs. England, Johannesburg, 1957 GODDARD: 16 – 10 – 11 – 1 (0.68) vs. New Zealand, Wellington, 1964 TAYFIELD: 24* - 17 – 21 – 1 (0.65) vs. England, Durban, 1957, and TAYFIELD: 14* - 7 – 13 – 6 (0.69) vs. New Zealand, Johannesburg, 1954 Note the 6/13 taken by TAYFIELD in just 14 overs, with 7 maidens. Note: * denotes 8 ball overs, converted to 6 ball overs for equal comparison.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30] Trevor GODDARD was the FIRST South African all-rounder to achieve 1000 runs

and100 wickets in TEST Cricket chronologically. On this list, Shaun Pollock is second and Jaques Kallis is third. Trevor GODDARD is also FIRST in South Africa and 12th BEST in TEST Cricket, all-time for his 294 runs and 26 wickets in a Five Test series.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31] Herbie TAYLOR (twice) and Trevor GODDARD (four times) are two on a select list of

about only 80 players in more than 2,150 Tests played in history who have had the distinction of OPENING both the BATTING and BOWLING for their Country in Tests. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32] FIRST CLASS BATTING AVERAGES: For South Africans - in First Class Averages, the

great Barry RICHARDS is TOP of the list, with an average of 54.74. Graeme Pollock is second, on 54.67; third is Jacques Kallis with 54.10, followed by Hashim AMLA in

fourth place on 51.88. Fifth is A.D. Norse with 51.53 – just ahead of AB De Villiers at51.03.

In terms of TEST BATTING AVERAGES for South Africans, the list is as follows: Barry RICHARDS is first on an average of 72.57 (admittedly, he played only in

4 Tests). This would put RICHARDS second in the World, only to Don Bradman. Second is Graeme Pollock – 60.97 (and 4th in the World) ; third is Jacques Kallis –

55.37 (16th in the World); fourth for South Africa, and 21st in the World is A.D. Nourse, with 53.81, while Hashim AMLA is fifth for South Africa, on 52.78 and the 25th World all-time Test Batting Average. These all compare very well, with so-called “batting greats” like Brian Lara – 52.88 and Sachin Tendulkar – 53.78.

Lee IRVINEalso deserves a mention with a Test average of 50.42 in his short test career.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33] Hashim AMLA has the HIGHEST TEST INNINGSfor any South African in Tests, having

scored 311 not out against England at the Oval, in 2012. He is the ONLY South African to have scored over 300 in Tests, and his 311* places him on the ALL-

TIMETEST HIGH SCORE LIST at number 21. Although Barry RICHARDS never had muchopportunity to play Test Cricket, he has a FIRST CLASS high score of 356 runs, amongst the EIGHTY centuries he scored in his career. This feat however places the mammoth 356 which RICHARDS scored at Perth as one of ONLY about three dozen cricketers who have EVER scored over 350 in Tests or in First Class cricket.

Hashim AMLA is the FASTEST South African to score6,000 Test runs. jointly with Graeme Smith - they both took 128 innings to achieve this feat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34] In ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL CRICKETfor players who have played more than 40

matches, Hashim AMLA has the HIGHEST BATTING AVERAGE in the WORLD, of ANY player, with an average of 56.41. Fifth in the World (O.D.I.) is A.B. De Villiers with 52.16 and Jacques Kallis is 20th on the World all-time list on 44.36. These positions include past and present O.D.I. players.

In ADDITION, Hashim AMLA holds most of the FASTEST BATTING RECORDS for reaching the BATTING milestones in ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. He is the FIRST BATSMAN to reach 2000 runs (40 innings) (Second place took 45 innings);

FIRST BATSMAN to reach 3000 runs (57 innings) (Second place took 68 innings); FIRST BATSMAN to reach 4000 runs (81 innings) (Second place took 88 innings); FIRST BATSMAN to reach 5000 runs (101 innings) (Second place took 114 innings). The speed in which AMLA reached these milestones is so far ahead of the second

placed ODI batsmen, that it seems unlikely to be equalled for some time. However, Hashim AMLA started off a bit slower. He is in only ninth place, WORLD O.D.I. All- time to reach 1000 runs, whilst fellow South African Quentin De Kock is in 4th place. Note: The second fastest player, in 45 innings to 2000 runs was Zaheer Abbass. The second fastest player to 3000, 4000 and 5000 runs was Viv Richards, in 69, 88 and 114 innings – far slower than the very fast rate achieved by Hashim AMLA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35] In ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL CRICKET “MAN of the MATCH” awards, Jacques Kallis

is third best in the World, with 32 such awards. Herschel Gibbs is the second South African and 20th in the World with 22 awards, jointly with Shaun Pollock also on 22.

The fourth South African is A.B De Villiers on 20 awards, and Lance KLUSENER is in fifth spot, for South Africans, with 19 “Man of the Match” awards. Hashim AMLA has 15 such awards, to date.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36] In ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL CRICKET “MAN of the SERIES” / “PLAYER of the

SERIES”awards, the best South African, and 3rd in the World, all-time, is Shaun Pollock with 9 awards. Hashim AMLA is second, in South Africa, and 9th in the World, jointly with Jacques Kallis, each having 6 awards. A.B. De Villiers is fourth (and fifteenth in the World) with 5 awards, whilst Lance KLUSENER is fifth (21 in

the World) on 4 awards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

37] Hashim AMLA is FAR and away the GREATEST ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL cricketer to date. He was the fastest to reach 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 ODI runs, by some margin. In his relatively short career, he has the best batting average (56.41) and

he has scored 19 O.D.I. CENTURIES in just 107 matches. A.B. De Villiers took 179 matches to reach 19 centuries, whilst Brian Lara took fully 299 matches to get his 19 centuries.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 38] Sid PEGLER, playing for South Africa against Tasmania, on the Springbok tour of

Australia, in 1910-11, scored the THIRD FASTEST FIRST CLASS HALF CENTURY of ALL TIME, his fifty having been made in just 14 minutes. This record still stands.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 39] Lee IRVINE who was at D.H.S. with Barry RICHARDS were both selected for S.A.

Schools. Lee Irvine played S.A. Schools in 1962, and Barry Richards in both 1962 and 1963 – including the S.A. Schools tour to England in 1963. They both wenton to play for South Africa - against the 1970 Australians. Although Barry RICHARDShad a longer and more successful First Class career, Lee IRVINE was most certainly the better of the two boys in the D.H.S.First XI in 1962 whenLee IRVINE scored 1310 runs in 22 innings at an average of 68.95and a HS of 150. The School careers of both IRVINE and RICHARDS, as well as of Trevor GODDARD and Hugh TAYFIELD are dealt with in some detail below.(See alsonotes 16 and 19, above.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 40] Hugh TAYFIELD, Trevor GODDARD, Lee IRVINE and Barry RICHARDS had very

interesting School careers in the D.H.S. 1st XI. They all played in the 1st XI for more than one season, and although this is by no means unique, as many boys have done so, few have for three or four years, as did GODDARD, when he played his first season for the 1st XI whilst still a very young 3rd Form boy. Their basic performances are listed HERE:

Ave. Wickets Ave. Best TAYFIELD, H.J. 1944 / 5 11 168 66 18.66 21 12.00 4/24 TAYFIELD, H.J. 1945/6 9 125 29 15.62 37 6.46 7/10 GODDARD, T.L. 1945/6 2 31 17 15.50 0 0 0 GODDARD, T.L. 1946/7 10 139 53* 17.37 19 8.15 4/18 GODDARD, T.L. 1947/8 20 363 73* 22.70 30 16.90 4/10 GODDARD, T.L. 1948/9 15 625 129 48.00 30 8.50 6/18 IRVINE, B.L. 1960 19 225 35 14.17 0 0 0 IRVINE, B.L. 1961 9 158 31 19.71 0 0 0 IRVINE, B.L. 1962 22 1310 150 68.95 0 0 0 RICHARDS, B.A. 1961 17 510 85 34.00 0 0 0 RICHARDS, B.A. 1962 22 898 100* 49.88 9 16.44 4/1 RICHARDS, B.A. 1963 18 700 96 41.18 41 12.78 8/18 Both Lee IRVINE and Barry RICHARDS played for D.H.S. in the Natal School’s Nuffield Cricket Week in 1962. If their performances during the week are ADDED to their School record, THEN their figures for the 1962 year appear thus: IRVINE, B.L. 1962 28 1570 150 65.42 0 0 0 RICHARDS, B.A. 1962 28 1341 106 55.87 (Bowling statistics not stated)

On the S.A. Schools tour to England, in 1963, Barry RICHARDS (D.H.S.) was Captain, and

another D.H.S. boy, M.B. (Bruce) HEATH a spin bowler, was also in the team. The great all-rounder M.J. (Mike) Proctor), from Hilton College was also in the side. The S.A. Schools side did very well, winning most of their matches. Barry RICHARDS topped the averages, scoring 798 runs at 49.87, followed by Mike PROCTOR – 579 runs at 48.25. Bruce HEATH completed the Tour second in the bowling averages, at 13.09 runs per wicket. (These facts, figures and statistics – in note 40, are extracted from the D.H.S. School Magazines of the periods.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 41] Mike RINDEL and Dale BENKENSTEIN were in the GOLD MEDAL winning South AfricanCommonwealth Games team, in Malaysia, 1998. These are the one and only Games to date where O.D.I. cricket was included as a competition in the Games. South Africa won the GOLD medal, beating Australia in the finals. Mike RINDEL was the HIGHEST SCORER for South Africa in both the semi-finals and in the final of the competition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42] World and South African O.D.I. partnership RECORDS: Various D.H.S. boys are involved insome of the leading O.D.I. partnerships in World cricket, for example: For the 1st Wkt: 247a runs. Hashim AMLA and Rilee Rousouw. 6th in the World; 1st in S.A.

For the 3rd Wkt: 247b runs. Hashim AMLA and Rilee Rousouw, 2nd in the World; 1st in S.A. For the 3rd Wkt. 238 runs. Hashim AMLA and A.B. de Villiers. 3rd in the World; 2nd in S.A. For the 7th Wkt: 114 runs. Mark Boucher and Lance KLUSENER. 10th in the World; 1st in S.A. For the 8th Wkt: 91 runs. Dale BENKENSTEIN and Lance KLUSENER. 14th / World; 2nd in S.A.

(Notes a and b: These two partnerships, of the same score – 247 – are merely a co-incidence. AMLA with 153* and Roussouw with 128 did the feat in the 2nd ODI vs West Indies at the Wanderers on 18 January 2015. A.B. de Villiers scored 149 in the same match. The second occasion, and yet another 247 partnership with AMLA scoring 133 and Roussouw getting 132 was in the 5th ODI vs West Indies at Centurion on 28 January 2015.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 43] OTHER NOTEABLE PERFORMANCES in O.D.I. Cricket: Lance KLUSENER has taken 5 wickets in an innings on six occasions. This places him 1st forSouth Africa and 7th in the World, all time. Lance KLUSENER scored 54 and took 6/49 vs. Sri Lanka 6 November 1997. He is the ONLYSouth African to get a 50 and 5 wickets in the same O.D.I. match. He is also 4th player ever to achieve this feat and one of only 17 O.D.I. cricketers who have ever done so. Lance KLUSENER (four times) and Richard SNELL (once) are only TWO of three SouthAfricans ever to have opened both the BATTING and the BOWLING for South Africa inO.D.I.s. in the SAME MATCH. The only other South African to have donethis was

R.J. Peterson (once).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44] Hashim AMLA is 3rd on the World all-time list for the most CENTURIES in a calendar year in ALL FORMS of cricket (Tests/ODI/T20). In the 2010 year AMLA scored TEN centuries. This places him FIRST of all South Africans. Hashim AMLA also holds the 3rd place for all SouthAfricans, and 14th in the World for his EIGHT centuries in the 2014 year. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45] In the research and compiling of these records and notes, it must be recorded that

it has been difficult to establish authoritative sources for full team representation by SCHOOL, for teams like S.A. U19; S.A. Universities; an S.A. XI; S.A. “A”; various “World XI” / “Rest of the World XI” / “World O.D.I. XI” teams; S.A. “Masters” teams and so forth. There are almost certainly D.H.S. boys who have been in many of these teams, but not recorded here. If any reader has information in this regard, kindly advise the Complier. ========================================================================= HERE ENDS this SECTION of RECORDS and interesting notes involving D.H.S. boys who have who have represented SOUTH AFRICA at various international levels or who have played FIRST CLASS cricket. All the facts and statistics listed in this study have been researched, compiled and prepared by David R. Bennett and are thought to be correct, as at 8 February 2015.
