Gyda tymor criced y siroedd wedi dechrau a Sam Northeast o Forgannwg wedi torri record am y sgôr uchaf i unigolyn mewn gêm dosbarth cyntaf yn Lord’s fis diwethaf, mae’n amser delfrydol i dynnu sylw at gyhoeddiadau hanesyddol sy’n ymwneud â chriced a gatalogwyd yn ddiweddar.
Mae nifer o eitemau nad oedd cofnod iddynt cyn hyn, nawr ar gael i’n defnyddwyr eu harchebu drwy’r catalog, diolch i waith diwyd ein catalogwyr. Un o’r darganfyddiadau mwyaf diddorol yw rhaglen gêm griced o 1921 ar gyfer gêm rhwng Clwb Criced Sir Gaerhirfryn a thîm teithiol Awstralia. Uchafbwynt y rhaglen yw llofnodion y ddau garfan (gweler y lluniau). Cyflwynwyd y rhaglen i Dywysog Cymru ar y pryd, sef Edward VIII. Mae’r llofnodion yn cynnwys enwogion o'r cyfnod fel Warwick Armstrong o Awstralia a Johnny Tyldesley o Sir Gaerhirfryn a Lloegr. Ennillodd Awstralia'r gêm yn hawdd o fatiad a 8 rhediad.
