300 CEICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. se p t , si , isss . ^ T | I E v g C 0 ^ E v B 0 0 K ^ (Continued.) AUSTRALIANS v. NORTH OP ENGLAND. Since Lancashire has come so prominently to the fore in County cricket, the Old Trafford gr ound at Manchester has become one of the most popular of cricket rendezvous. On the previous visit of the Australians, when the Lancashire eleven made such a good game with them, over forty thousand spec­ tators were present during the three days. Their second appearance on the three closing days of last week was almost as successful. On both occasions, too, the cricket was of the very best quality. The Northern team, in the absence of Mr. A. G. Steel, Barnes, and Shrewsbury, was well chosen. The pre­ sence of a strong Lancashire element in the eleven gave it a localinterest, which contributed in no small degree to the enthusiasm showed over the play of the English side. Murdoch, afterwinning eight tosses in succession, was beaten by Mr. Hornby in the spin of the coin, and, of course, elected to take the innings. Barlow’and he began the batting, but only amoderatelygood startwas made,and three dangerous batsmen, Mr. Hornby,Ulyett, and Mr. Royle,were out for 43. At this point Lockwood joined Barlow, and the best cricket of the day was shown. In spite of the unerring bowling of Spofforth and Boyle, and some fine all-round fielding by the whole Australian team, both batsmen played a strictly correct and faultless game. During the luncheon rain fell heavily, but still the two professionals continued to bat without a mistake. Lockwood scored the faster, and when he wascaught the total had been raised to 129— an addition of 84 runs since the last wicket, and of these Lockwood had contributed 53 by cricket of the highest order. Barlow’s 48 was another excel­ lent display of defence. He was at the wickets two hours and three-quarters, and during this time had not given the semblance of a chance. Pilling batted in better form than he has shown for a long time, and his 32 was a highly-commendable innings. When play ceased on the first evening the North had made 193 with one batsman still to go. Just before the close Horan, in the long-field,had missed Crossland, and this mistake proved to be one of some consequence. The last wicket indeed gave the Australians considerable trouble, and before they were parted Crossland and Peate had added 73 runs to tho score. When they went in the Aus­ tralians could do little against the bowling of Peate and Crossland. Though still very lame from his accident at Leeds, the former never bowled with greater success. Four of the five best batsmen, to •wit, Massie, Bannerman, Murdoch, and McDon­ nell, all fell to him. Massie hit with his wontedfree- dom for 44, but excepting Giffen and Bonnor, no one else got double figures, and they were all out for 110. Bemembering their performance on the previous Saturday at Scarborough, though they had to follow on in a minority of 135 run.-!, there was by jio means ageneralfeelingofconfidence in theirdefeat. Their second innings, though, was only in a slight degree more successful than the first. The wicket was in excellent condition, but again good bowling, backed up by smart fielding, told its tale. Mur­ doch, who plays the better cricket the greater the need of runs, batted with great care. His 33 was a most praiseworthy display of judicious and defensive cricket. McDonnell as usual hit freely, but Massie, Bannerman, Murdoch, and Horan all fell to Peate, Massie without a run, Horan and Bannerman for only 25 between them. Nine wickets were down for 102 when Garrett joined Boyle. There were still 33 wanting to save defeat in an innings, and the game seemed virtually over. Boyle was in anything but the best of condition, but he played with great pluck, and the two bats­ men while they were in put on 60 runs. The per­ formance was a very creditable one for both bats­ men, but considering the weak state in which hewas in Boyle was entitled to the greater praise. With only 28 to win, Mr. Hornby and Barlow went in for the North, and in a little over a quarter of an hour the runs were got. The English team thus gained a very easy victory by ten wickets. The success will be generally gratifying to English cricketers for many reasons. It was gained by thoroughly good all-round cricket, and without any­ thing like luck except in the toss. Pilling kept wicket in fine style, and the fieldinsr of the whole team was up to the very best standard. The bowl­ ing of Peate and Crossland, though, contributed in a very great measure to the decisive win of the English players. Crossland took eight wickets for 88 runs—a good performance—but the Northerners were mostly indebted to Peate for their triumph. His bowling fairly puzzled the Australian batsmen, and he has never bowled with more remarkable precision. The ground did not help him in any way, but he took five wickets in each innings, and in all his ten wickets only cost an aggregate of 105 runs. Score and analyses:— N orth op E n gland .
