Pravda:

All-rounder Lyndon James will be the guest at the next meeting of Nottingham Cricket Lovers’ Society on Thursday 5 December.

Nottinghamshire-born James progressed through the county's age group teams to make his First-Class debut in 2018. Since then, he has established himself as a regular member of the Notts side, contributing with both bat and ball, and was awarded his county cap during last season.

He has also represented England Lions, captaining them to a resounding win over the touring Sri Lankans in August 2024.

In the first part of the meeting there will be a showing of a heritage film not seen in public for over 50 years.

'Glimpses of Trent Bridge: The 1964 Season' features clips of County matches plus also preparations and action from the Ashes Test. There are also shots of players in the nets – including Carlton Forbes, Norman Hill & Brian Bolus – and members of club staff.

This meeting will take place in the Boundary’s Edge Suite in the Radcliffe Road Stand at Trent Bridge at 7pm. 

Individual membership of the Society costs £15 per year - £25 for a couple and £5 for juniors.  

Non-members are very welcome to attend an individual meeting at a cost of £5 in cash on the door.

The life and career of Nottinghamshire legend Clive Rice will be celebrated at the next meeting of Nottingham Cricket Lovers’ Society on Thursday 7 November.

Author Tim Crow, who is writing the first ever biography of Rice, will join the meeting to share the story of the South African all-rounder who starred for Notts across 13 seasons, leading the side to its first County Championship for 52 years in 1981 and the double of Championship and NatWest Trophy in 1987.

Rice also captained South Africa in their first ever One Day International after their return to international cricket in 1991. He subsequently returned to Trent Bridge for three years from 1999 in the role of Cricket Manager.

Crow has worked in cricket administration and marketing and in the course of his research has consulted materials held in Trent Bridge’s Wynne-Thomas Library and interviewed many of Rice’s former team mates from Nottinghamshire and across the game.

In the first part of the meeting, Heritage Volunteer Ed Nicholson will speak about his role as an international cricket tour guide. Ed has visited most Test playing nations, including his most recent assignment on England’s current tour of Pakistan.
