	The English Cricket Captain in South Africa who became a Hollywood star
		He settled in Johannesburg, establishing a stockbroking firm with a team mate, Monty Bowden, who had taken over as captain in the second test and who was to suffer a tragic early demise on this continent.
		Bowden to this day remains England’s youngest ever test captain, for when he led his side on to the field at Newlands on the 25th March 1889,he was just twenty three years and one hundred and forty days old.
		Monty slipped into a coma from which sadly he did not emerge and four days later he passed away at the age of twenty seven.

	Chris Barber: Former band members/Monty Sunshine
		After this period Monty formed his own quartet, in which were Chris Barber on bass, Ron Bowden on drums, and Lonnie Donegan on banjo.
		In 1953 Monty and Chris formed a band to be led by trumpeter Ken Colyer who was about to return from a long stay in New Orleans.
		Monty and his band were very popular especially in Germany, and most of his records were made there.

	Armour's eagle-birdie finish ties Bowden for the Nationwide Cox Classic lead
		Bowden was even par for his opening nine holes with two bogeys and two birdies.
		Bowden birdied the par-4 15th from 18 feet out and made it two straight as he drained an improbable 80-foot putt at 16.
		Bowden closed a run of three straight birdies on the 17th.

		Monty Bowden was England's youngest ever Test captain at 23 years 144 days when he took over from C. Aubrey-Smith for the Second Test of England's first ever tour of South Africa in 1888-89.
		He died in Umtali Hospital - a glorified mud hut where his body had to be protected from marauding lions - prior to being interred - in a coffin made from whiskey cases.
		Bowden was educated at Dulwich College, and made his first appearance in the Surrey eleven in the season of 1883.

	Causes of Death of English Test Match Captains - Uncyclopedia
		Bowden fell from his cart and was trampled by the hooves of his own oxen and taken to Umtali hospital where he died three days later.
		The hospital was little more than a mud hut, and his body had to be kept from marauding lions before he was buried in a coffin made of whiskey cases.

		Monty's present line-up has been playing together for several years now and only in the spring of 1993 his drummer since the mid-seventies, Geoff Downes, had to give up because of a severe illness.

		Monty Panesar, who surely owns the most regal of names in English cricket, had a howler in the field, an absolute howler.
		After Monty Panesar's promising debut, and Ian Blackwell showing he might have something to offer as a spinner, the spin-battle is hotting up.

		This is what is known and what is a likely scenario next week: The city of Augusta, Ga., has scheduled Jack Nicklaus Day on Monday to honor his 42 appearances in the Masters and the Golden Bear will attend a couple of functions downtown that evening.
		Spare me. Like every other world-class player, Monty had an entire year in which to play himself into the Masters and he failed to do so.
		On the same day Monty shot 60, there was a 62, three 63s, and a 64.

		Another Surrey player, Monty Bowden, found himself in the same position on England's first ever tour to South Africa 110 years earlier.
		He led the team to victory by an innings and 202 runs as the home side, who were Test match novices, were bowled out for 47 and 43.
		Bowden's story did not end happily, however, as he died three years later after settling in Rhodesia.

	The Googly: Spinners
		However some cricket commentators are suggesting that he might not have the ability to 'keep an end plugged up' like Ashley Giles did so effectively.
		After the disasterous pre-series preparations afflicting England’s squad, they seem to be gelling as a team - led by Andrew Flintoff.
		In the piece I wrote for Cricinfo on Monty, Mark Ramprakash said we [England] should be looking to find someone of Vettori’s ability.

	Which cricketer, who captained England when he was 23 years old, died at the age...
		Monty Bowden at 23 years and 144 days remains England's youngest Test skipper.
		Bowden might seem to have had the cricketing and wider worlds at his feet - but within three years he was dead, officially of epilepsy, although a fall from a cart up-country contributed.
		Shortly afterwards he traveled north to what is now Zimbabwe with Cecil Rhodes Pioneer column, and settled there, before dying in Umtali Hospital - a glorified mud hut where his body had to be protected from marauding lions prior to being interred in a coffin made from whiskey cases.

	Chris Barber / Ken Colyer 50th anniversary, September 2, 1953
		First, the Colyer version of the band — Colyer himself on cornet, Barber on trombone, Monty Sunshine on clarinet, and the rhythm section of Tony (Lonnie) Donegan (banjo), Jim Bray (bass), and Ron Bowden (drums) — was relatively short-lived: not much more than a year, if that, but timelessly influential.
		Second, for their age and experience, all the members of the band were incredibly highly skilled and talented, both individually and collectively (and vastly superior to the outfit that Colyer assembled after the split).
		Lonnie starts by playing the banjo and singing, and then Jim Bray (on tuba) and Ron Bowden join in; listen to the warm applause that greets Colyer, Barber, and Sunshine as they come onstage after a couple of choruses.

		Winning the mini-World Cup was one thing, but the real deal proved beyond them nine months later after that fateful tie with Australia in the semi-final.
		Monty Bowden played only two Tests, both in South Africa in 1888-89, but in the second at Cape Town he was captain, aged only 23, in the absence of the injured Aubrey Smith.
		Bowden and Smith stayed behind in South Africa after that to form a stockbroking firm, before Bowden travelled to Rhodesia with Cecil Rhodes's Pioneer Column.

	Monty Alexander: Concrete Jungle--The Music of Bob Marley
		Kingston, Jamaica native Monty Alexander first recorded in Jamaica’s Tuff Gong studios back in 1958, before reggae music had arrived on American shores.
		Alexander, however, arrived in 1961, where he worked in Vegas and eventually proceeded to New York where he proved a jazz pianist with a rhythmic edge, performing with Frank Sinatra and Milt Jackson.
		Rock fans may feel it’s a bit reggae lite, but there’s so much great musicianship on display here that Concrete Jungle: The Music of Bob Marley never sounds contrived or inauthentic, just great music interpreted by a set of great and sympathetic musicians.

		Likewise the second Test, in Cape Town, was cut short and resulted in a 202 run victory for the tourists on 25 and 26 March.
		Smith sufferred an injury before this Test and so Monty Bowden took over as a stand in skipper - the youngest English person to do so at the age of 23.
		South Africa's fortune would take some time to change for over the course of the next decade they would lose a further three Test Series against England, their weak side not attracting enough attention to be sponsored for a tour.

	Monty Alexander & Ernest Ranglin: Rocksteady
		The first, in Jamaica, gave us the Skatalites and their remarkable Studio One sessions like Desmond Dekker.
		Like American label Motown, Studio One had its own roster of skilled session musicians, among them pianist Monty Alexander and guitarist Ernest Ranglin.
		Both musicians have since become international recording artists, and on Rocksteady they combine forces once again to explore the music of their homeland and their youth.

		Butcher was given the job with little captaincy experience to fall back on, and although an innings of 83 not out by Alec Stewart enabled England to escape with a draw, it was not an experience Butcher was in a hurry to repeat.
		Another Surrey player, Monty Bowden, found himself in the same position on England's first tour to South Africa 1889 years earlier.

	Hoste - Rhodesia in 1890
		In the afternoon the first cricket match in the country was played.
		I forget who won; it was probably 'A' Troop as they had several outstanding cricketers, notably Monty Bowden, the celebrated Surrey wicket-keeper.
		He had come out to the Cape in an English team, Read's I think, and hearing of the Pioneer expedition, had joined as a trooper.
