Thomas Raikes (cricketer)
Thomas Barkley Raikes( 16 December 1902 – 2 March 1984), often known as Tom, was an Indian- born English cricketer who played 38 first- class games for Oxford University in the 1920s.
He also played minor counties cricket for Norfolk.
He was educated at Winchester College, and in 1921 had a particularly fine year: he captained the side, topped the bowling averages and was second in the batting averages.
In July against Charterhouse, he scored 94 and then took 8/14, no runs at all being conceded by him until he had taken all eight wickets.
After going up to Trinity College, Oxford, and taking 5/ 5 in the( non-first- class) Freshmen's match, Raikes was brought into the full university side.
" Wisden" considered that"[ a]t this point it seemed that he might well take his place among the leading bowlers of the day", but although he had a good 1923 season, he never lived up to this early promise as he put on weight, having found" the pleasure of life at Oxford too alluring".
He did, however, turn in an excellent performance against the Army in 1924, taking 13 wickets in the match.
Neither his match figures of 13/80 nor his second- innings return of 9/38 have been beaten since( as of 2009) by an Oxford bowler.
In June 1922, during Oxford's match against Surrey at The Oval, Raikes was involved in a bizarre run-out incident: he and his batting partner R. C. Robertson- Glasgow became hopelessly confused over a second, then third, run, and ended up at the same end on both occasions.
Meanwhile, the Surrey fielders repeatedly fumbled the ball before eventually wicket- keeper Herbert Strudwick managed to remove the bails.
Even then, it was unclear which of the batsmen was out: Robertson- Glasgow said that Raikes walked off of his own accord, while another tale says that the matter was settled by the toss of a coin.
Two of Raikes' relatives played first- class cricket: his father Ernest Raikes played in India for Europeans and Bombay, while his uncle George Raikes played for Oxford and Hampshire and made four appearances for the England football team.
Bill Reeves
William 'Bill' Reeves (22 June 1875 – 22 March 1944) was an English cricketer, who at the conclusion of his playing career became an umpire, officiating in five Test Matches.
According to Dudley Carew he was "the Sam Weller of umpires, quick of retort, ingenious of smile, unfailing in friendliness".
R.C. Robertson-Glasgow wrote: "If silence or dullness fell upon the game, there was Bill Reeves to put it right."

Maximus of Tyre
Maximus of Tyre( fl. late 2nd century AD), also known as Cassius Maximus Tyrius, was a Greek rhetorician and philosopher who lived in the time of the Antonines and Commodus, and who belongs to the trend of the Second Sophistic.
His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece, while there is little reference to Rome; hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece, perhaps as a professor at Athens.
Although nominally a Platonist, he is really an Eclectic and one of the precursors of Neoplatonism.
Sidney Robertson-Rodger
