The 60s thread

[GorgeousGeorge59]

So because i feel bad for blocking up all the other retro threads with the 1960s, I've started my own so we can keep track of the teams completed.

Please feel free to help out in anyway you can.

I am basing my 60s domestic teams off 1964.

Thanks to @Mouseydread for the international teams!

For those interested. The playing conditions of the Gillette One Day Cup:

The first 2 years of the Gillette cup were 65 overs a side and a bowler could bowl a maximum of 15 overs per innings, this changed to 12 when the matches were reduced to 60 overs.

Fielding restrictions were not around in those days as they are now, it was nothing usual to see 10 fielders around the boundary towards the end of an innings including on occasion the wicket keeper.

As all games were Knockout a tie was decided by who had lost least wickets .

Start of play was 11am, Lunch at 1.15, 10 minutes between the innings mid afternoon and a tea interval was taken when the side batting second had 25 overs left .

Even with 120 overs in the day the games usually finished between 7 and 7.30. Occasionally a game would go on later to save using a reserve day if weather had intervened.

Interestingly modern one day cricket was effectively started by Leicestershire in 1962 when Mike Turner organised the Midland Knockout Cup that then led to the Gillette Cup a year later...

Scrapping the knock out format was a big mistake - and from next year the remaining one day competition will be downgraded further. It is crazy really when England has finally fallen in love with one day cricket after the world cup...

@stephencox32 I've used your Oxford and Cambridge sides, but updated them to the 1964 teams.

Are you doing school sides again?

 

[GorgeousGeorge59]

Should have Worcestershire, Somerset and Glamorgan up by tomorrow.

@GorgeousGeorge59

Go ahead with S.Africa and New Zealand if you can, there is a New Zealand 69 up on the academy My real life has taken over for a while so I'm not able to post as much!

Finally got around to uploading Derbyshire 1961. I may have overskilled them a little but I have a soft spot for the Falcons...

If anyone is midly interested, I have started to make up some Indian Ranji Trophy teams from the 1965 season. Mainly for tour matches, but I might get bored and make the whole lot. We'll see.

If anyone has a first class logo for Jamaica and Guyana, can you let me know? Thanks

Got distracted and made up the 1965 Sheffield Shield teams today. NSW is 90% the Australia team so that didn't take long.
