New Zealand‘s Devon Conway became just the seventh batsman in Test cricket’s 144-year history to make a double century on debut with a score of exactly 200 against England at Lord’s on Thursday.
The South Africa-born opener’s marathon effort of more than nine-and-a-half hours was the cornerstone of New Zealand’s first-innings total of 378. Conway was in sight of becoming the first player to bat throughout their very first Test-match innings before, with only last man Neil Wagner for company, he was run out after lunch on the second day of this two-match series. But he had still joined an exclusive club, with Mathew Sinclair the only other Black Caps batsman to have made a double century on his Test bow. Left-hander Conway had already broken the record for the highest innings by a batsman making their career Test debut at Lord’s when, on Wednesday, he surpassed the 131 made by India’s Souray Ganguly in 1996.

A group of Latinists, both lay and religious, have started a new Latin institute to share the riches of the Church’s Latin and Greek past. Some weeks ago, I received an email from
Eric Hewett, former Executive Director of the Paideia Institute, announcing the founding of the

News of his death took me back to a Sunday in late 1964 when I had been touring with a musical group in rural New South Wales. We had played a show in Orange, a small agricultural town 270 kilometres or so from Sydney, and were billeted with families around the town, which was evenly divided between Catholics and Anglicans. The show had been on a Saturday night. On the Sunday morning, my billet, a Catholic family, asked if I would like to attend mass with them. The elderly priest sounded as if he had just stepped off the boat from Ireland. At the point in the mass when it was time to deliver his sermon, he turned to the congregation and, after a pause, said in his thick brogue: “Well, da holy fathers in Rome have decreed dat as from next Sundy we’ll be sayin’ da mass in English God help ‘am all.”
