Team previews for Paris 1900 - Australia

Australia


What has transpired since 1896

A lot has taken place in these last four years. Australia have lost all their players from the 1870s and almost all from the 1880s to retirement, but the younger generation has stepped up to the challenge quite brilliantly.
In recent times they've also been the dominant force in The Ashes by beating England both home and away in 1897/98 and 1899 respectively. This after having lost 11 of their 12 Ashes series between 1884 and 1896.

The emergence of rare talents like Monty Noble and Victor Trumper, and the coming-of-age of others such as Joe Darling, Clem Hill, Ernest Jones and Hugh Trumble has turned them into a really strong side. Considerably stronger than what they were in 1896.


Olympic record

Bronze medalists in 1896. A poor effort considering there were only four teams taking part back then. They will want to rectifying it by going one better in an 8-team tournament.


Expectations for Paris 1900

They've got all the bases covered with two world class openers, a strong middle-order, a brilliant all-rounder in Monty Noble, a safe pair of hands behind the stumps, a bowling attack led by the tearaway Ernest Jones complemented by one of the canniest medium pacers around in Bill Howell and one of the best offbreak bowlers of all time in Hugh Trumble.

Having one of their most talented and well led sides under the captaincy of Joe Darling, it'll be a real disappointment for Australia if they don't go all the way to win Silver or Gold this time.


Key players

Victor Trumper took the cricketing world by storm with a splendid century in just his second Test in the 1899 Ashes series. It impressed the recently retired legend WG Grace so much that he presented Trumper with his own bat with a message reading "From the present champion to the future champion." To show it was no fluke, he later plundered Sussex's attack for an unbeaten triple century and finished third on Australia's run-scoring for the first-class matches (1556 runs at 34.57) behind Joe Darling (1941 at 41.29) and Monty Noble (1608 at 37.39).

His tendency to get the best out of poor batting conditions should do Australia good on pitches found in Paris which are nowhere near the same quality as the city.


50135.player.jpg

Trumper may have impressed one and all on that 1899 tour, but it was Monty Noble who scored more runs (1608) than him and took far more wickets (82 at 22.90) too. The most impressive all-rounder to emerge from Australia since the days of George Giffen, Noble can bat anywhere between Nos 1 to 8. Not just that - he can bowl in any position too. Both pace and spin. An extremely useful player to have at one's disposal.


image_20130512111642.jpg

Another Australian player to come out of the 1899 tour of England with his reputation greatly enhanced with a total of 142 wickets in 32 matches at 18.43. There is no doubt that Hugh Trumble is the best offspinner in the world at the moment.

And it's not just his bowling that's improved greatly in these last four years since 1896. His batting has also improved by leaps and bounds as shown by a staggering 1183 first-class runs in 1899 with 1 century and 5 half-centuries. He ought to be placed much higher than No 11 where he helped Australia win a match against the Canadians in the 1896 Games.

Team previews for Paris 1900 - Canada


270px-Canadian_Red_Ensign_1868-1921.svg.png

Canada


What has transpired since 1896

At first it seemed the standards of Canadian cricket was on the rise when they beat the superior Americans two times in a row between 1896 and 1897, but their performances since have been quite poor.

Cricket is clearly nowhere near as popular as it was when Canada became a nation in 1867, but their yearly matches against the United States still generate decent crowds. The biggest positive is the performances of Jack Laing, who has turned himself into a serious rival for Bart King as the top all-rounder in North American cricket.

Though their level of consistency as a team continues to be poor, certain individuals have improved their overall game. George Lyon and Walter Cooper can be classed as genuine all-rounders now. Dyce Saunders has made himself a fixture behind the stumps and at the top of the order. There have also been a couple of new entries such as Gordon Guggisberg and Hugh Cyril Hill who have impressed.



Olympic record

Wooden spoon in 1896.


Expectations for Paris 1900

They are expected to pass on the wooden spoon given that they're grouped with cricketing rookies France. However, if their recent form is any indication, they're likely to struggle big time against sides like Great Britain and the Mixed Team. But if players like Laing, Terry and McGiverin get going, who knows?


Key players


harold_buchanan_mcgiverin_large.jpg

Hal McGiverin recently returned impressive figures against a team brought to Canada by KS Ranjitsinhji. He only picked up two wickets, but was extremely difficult to score off and also managed to knock over an international quality batsman in Archie MacLaren. Being the most experienced bowler of the side, it will be up to him to lead the Canadian bowling attack and get them early breakthroughs.

-

The only serious rival for Bart King as a player in the whole of North America is probably Jack Laing. This all-rounder has been a thorn in the flesh for the United States since sensationally knocking them over in late 1896. Four years after being the only Canadian to feature in the 1896 Olympic lineup of the tournament when he was only 23 years of age, it is hoped he can come back an even improved player in 1900.


Francis Terry's performances in his last three matches since 1897 (1, 4*, 0, 0, 0) don't provide a very good reading. It could well be argued that he might be past his prime as a batsman in his 40th year, but he remains Canada's only player with first-class experience. It is not known how much longer he plans to play on but this could well be his last chance at the international stage.

Team previews for Paris 1900 - Great Britain


270px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png

Great Britain


What has transpired since 1896

English cricket has fallen on tough times these last four years. Retirements of legendary players such as George Lohmann, Bobby Peel and most recently WG Grace have taken their toll and put the team in a state of transition. They have recently faced the ignominy of losing two consecutive Ashes series against rivals they would previously dominate just by showing up.

They do however have some fine young players coming through such as Wilfred Rhodes, Archie MacLaren, Johnny Tyldesley and George Hirst who may turn their fortunes some day.



Olympic record

Silver medalists in 1896 after being sensationally beaten by the less fancied Americans. Despite having one of the greatest sides they've ever put together.


Expectations for Paris 1900

Being the inventors of the game, Great Britian are always expected to do well in cricketing tournaments. They may have fallen on tough times at Test level but remain more than capable of beating lesser sides.

They will need to use the skills of players like Gilbert Jessop, Johnny Briggs and Bobby Abel in a better way this time. Gone are the days when someone like George Lohmann, Bobby Peel or JJ Ferris would simply turn up and single-handedly blow away international lineups.



Key players


Gilbert-Jessop-300x205.jpg

The fastest run-scorer in contemporary cricket by quite a distance, nobody in the world scores runs as quickly or demoralizes bowling attacks at the rate at which Gilbert Jessop does. Not too many can claim to suddenly turn on the heat with some seriously quick bowling at the same time either.

He is simply a must have for any team in this 1-day single innings format. It would be pure madness if he's benched this time like he was in 1896 as a rookie.



CBFry.jpg

An unbelievably talented player who excels at pretty much everything he does. CB Fry can bat, bowl, field, play association football, excel at all kinds of athletics, break long jump world records, perform all kinds of party tricks, read, write and what not.

However, his strongest suit remains his batting. He has the capability to score and score big with grace and elegance at the top of the order. He can also play the role of a handy 4th or 5th bowler when needed. His bowling action has recently come under scrutiny but it is understood that the IOC will permit him to bowl throughout the competition.


220px-Ranjitsinh.jpeg

One of the most dominant batsmen on the English cricketing scene, KS Ranjitsinhji made the most sensational Test debut of all time when he was finally selected for the English team in 1896, scoring an unbeaten 154 in defeat against the Australians. The Indian Prince endured a rough patch by his standards in the 1896 Olympic Games (79 runs at 26.33) but looks a far more developed batsman in 1900.

Though a very elegant batsman, he can play some very unorthodox shots and score his runs at a seriously quick pace. Something that could leave the best of bowlers demoralized and without options.

Team previews for Paris 1900 - United States of America


270px-US_flag_44_stars.svg.png

United States of America


What has transpired since 1896

The Americans haven't been able to recapture their glorious form of the early to mid 1890s. Apart from the ever consistent Bart King, not too many of their players have put up good performances against other international teams.

This has mostly to do with George Patterson and John Lester, two of their best batsmen being unavailable for selection due to various reasons since winning Olympic Gold for their country in 1896. In their absence, America's top order has been as brittle as glass. However, the pair have made themselves available for the most crucial sporting event of them all and that should definitely bolster their chances for 1900.

The American squad contains ten players from that historic 1896 campaign which makes them one of the most experienced sides of the competition. Two of the five newcomers are the experienced duo of Henry Brown and Henry Scattergood, who were unlucky to be left out of the previous Olympic squad despite being fairly consistent players.



Olympic record

Gold medalists in 1896. The result was met with shock back in England and Australia, but not to those who know their cricket.


Expectations for Paris 1900

Being Gold medalists at a particular sport in the previous Olympic Games brings a level of expectation for this one. With the likes of Patterson, Lester, King, Clark and Cregar back together again, there's no reason why the Americans can't put up a good show this time too. But given the spectacular improvement in standards of Australia and the addition of a few other teams, it will take a much bigger effort to strike gold this time.


Key players


pattersongeorge.jpg

The player whose absence has hurt the Americans the most since 1896 is George Patterson. A player capable of opening both the batting and bowling with considerable skill, the inclusion of Patterson for the 1900 Games is expected to make a huge difference to the American side. He remains the greatest batsman ever produced by the United States.


-


Despite being one of the most popular cricketers in America, Henry Brown was surprisingly overlooked for the 1896 Olympics. He has finally got a much deserved opportunity for the 1900 Games and will look to make an impact with his skillful slow bowling and lower order hitting.


B_king.jpg

Being one of the best players not playing Test cricket at the moment, Bart King always holds the key whenever America plays. For the last four years, it has been his performances that have saved weakened American lineups from total humiliation. Now with most of the strong 1896 batch being reunited, a weight has finally been lifted off his shoulders which should allow him to play a lot more freely.

Thanks to the short boundaries and some god awful bowling by the French, the English scored at a pace they themselves never thought was humanely possible. The talented right-hander Johnny Tyldesley fell just four short of what could have been the first century in the history of the Olympic Games.

It didn't get any better for France. They had to face Tom Richardson bowling at the speed of the wind. The result was a brutal 278-run hiding. Teams rarely even score that much in this format!

The usually entertaining Australians were forced to do a long slow grind towards their target on a terrible French wicket.

Thats not a great win chasing just 170 and we lost 7 wickets . But its always good to be on the winning side. Batsmen have to take responsibility.

Solid start to the campaign from the reigning champions. We might expect to beat the Argentinians, but with the likes of Dorning they were always a potential banana skin
