The nostalgic
memories we
store away
In my last piece (‘Childhood games
then and now’, GO! & Express,
November 19), I mentioned how
much I had enjoyed the IPL cricket
tournament coverage from the
United Arab Emirates, the big hitting
of highly paid international batsmen
and the astonishing talent of the up
and coming Indian youngsters.
We saw some lightning-fast
bowling and some sickening blows
which felled a number of batsmen
during the course of the tournament.
From time to time there was also
talk of the “throat ball”, a fast delivery
rising sharply off the pitch and aimed
at the region of a batsman’s throat.
It’s a nasty missile intended to
intimidate, which if struck where
intended could seriously injure or
even prove fatal. The batsman has to
be very aware.
The tragic passing of Australian
cricketer Phillip Hughes several years
ago when he was fatally struck by
such a delivery brought to mind a
similar, but mercifully not fatal,
incident which befell Natal cricket
captain Berry Versveld some 50 odd
years ago. I remember doing a story
on the incident, which happened in
the pre-helmet days.
A short-pitched ball pole-axed the
helmetless Versveld and the event, I
seem to recall, led to the introduction
of a rudimentary type of head
protection for batsmen.
Versveld survived the dreadful
blow and went on to a successful
business career.
For something to do in this
capricious weather, I looked for the
article in old files located in the space
above the built-in cupboards in our
bedroom, but to no avail.
As this particular event happened
all those years ago, I am not
surprised. Have you ever tried to find
something six month’s old, never
mind an item going back more than
50 years?
Anyway it was an opportunity to
❝ Then in a fluff of ancient
dust, I came across a
tattered old rugby
photograph in the
accumulated junk... It
depicted a rugby team
for which I played some
60 years ago
ROLLING OVER
REFLECTIONS

stay indoors and clear away some of
this hoarded sediment of time.
Needless to say I was distracted
and failed miserably.
I am afraid I have not the quality
of non-attachment required for this
type of work.
For most of the time I was
overcome by sentimentality while
browsing through this archaic
assortment of clutter. It is really
amazing the unlikely lumber a man
gathers in his journeying.
Here is a picture of the school
Under 15 cricket team and there we
are, third from the right in the second
row. Lying there are the letters written
to mom from boarding school. How
can we burn them now?
Then in a fluff of ancient dust, I
came across a tattered old rugby
photograph in the accumulated junk
which brought back nostalgic
memories.
It depicted a rugby team for which
I played some 60 years ago when
working for the Weekend Post in Port
Elizabeth.
Next to me was a colleague I
remember being badly injured in a
match. We met up some 20 years
later when we both worked at The
Rep in Queenstown (Komani). He
still walked with a limp.
He is sadly long dead now, along
with several other members of that
rugby team, all sitting in that faded
photo with arms folded, so young, so
full of the joys of living.
There it reposes at the bottom of a
battered old trunk long forgotten
among other pathetic relics of our
past - a stark reminder not only of the
perils of manly sport but that life is
short - enjoy it while you may, it’s
later than you think.
Ta i l p i e c e :
A letter home from a teenage boy
in his first term at boarding school:
“Send some food, they only serve
three meals a day here.”
