Cricket 1883

/( w ktJ**U juJc , FEB. 16, 1883. CRICKET; A W EEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. The team then journeyed to Sandhurst to meet twenty-two of that district on November 21st and 22nd. At the end of the first day the twenty-two were out for 160, and the Englishmen had made 36 for five wickets. The match was resumed on the following day, at noon, in beautiful weather. The wicket was decidedly not so good as on the previous day, as, owing to the dryness of the night, it began to wear. Barnes, the overnight not-out, was joined by Tylecote, but they were not long in partnership, for the professional had only scored 7 when he was bowled by Mackay, and Leslie joined the Kentish man, who, after scoring 3, fell a victim to the same bowler. The Oxford bat, who was playing brilliant cricket, and also scoring very fast, was faced by Vernon, and a slight stand was made—not before it was wanted, as things were going very badly for the English­ men. Vernon scored rather slowly, but at the same time his innings was most valuable to his side, as Leslie during this time was punishing the Sandhurst bowling most unmercifully. At length Vernon was beaten by one from Run&ell, and Alexander—who kindly offered the team his assistance, owing to Morley being still indisposed —joined the Oxford bat. During their stay the Sandhurst score was beaten, both batsmen playing good cricket. Spargo at last bowled Alexander, and the Englishmen’s innings closed for 117, or 17 runs to the good, Leslie carrying out his bat for 48, a very brilliant exhibition of cricket. Sandhurst now commenced their second innings, which was only noticeable for the batt­ ing of A. H. Pierce, J. Rundell, and G. Mackay. These three all showed really good form, but the bowling of Studd and Steel, who, as will be seen by the analysis, were most successful, proved altogether too much for the result. Having twenty-five minutes only to play, the English captain sent in Gr. B. Studd and Bates, and at six o’clock the Englishmen had scored 28 runs without the loss of a wicket. The match thus resulted in a draw, the English­ men having ten wickets to fall and 75 runs to make. The team during their stay at Sand­ hurst were welcomed to the town by the Mayor and Corporation, and also had the pleasure of exploring two of the principal gold mines in the district. On the first day they visited the Garden Gully United Mine. On the second morning they were driven to Eaglehawk in a four-horse drag, where they were entertained by the Mayor of the borough, Mr. \V. Kneebone, and subsequently taken down to the 640ft. level of the Ellenborough mine, the short trip being very much enjoyed. Score :— Barlow, b Rundell G. B. Studd, b G. Mackay Bates, b Spargo .. ..

This match, was commenced on Nov. 24 at twelve o’clock on a fairly good wicket, in very- hot weather, and in the presence of a goodly number of spectators. The Castlemaine captain, having won the toss, elected to go in, and sent Smith (who has once or twice played in the inter-colonial contests) and Eowe to face the howling of Barlow and Morley. It was evident shortly after the commencement that the former had not gained a false reputation, as he played the English bowling with the greatest confidence and skill. ;His innings of 41 was one of considerable merit, combining as it did a great exhibition of patience and well- timed hitting. Of the other batsmen Donovan and Plynn showed the best form. The innings closed for 136, Morley taking eight wickets for 45, and Bates four for 24 runs. The Englishmen commenced batting, at ten minutes to six, with G. B. Studd and Barlow, and at the close of play had scored 9 runs with-out the loss of a wicket. Play on the following day was continued at twelve o’clock, the weather still being very hot. G. B. Studd and Barlow, the overnight not-outs both played in good form, and the likelihood of a big innings was very probable. The score was carried to 67 before a separation came when Barlow, who had scored 24, was caught and bowled by Dawes. Both batsmen before this had a chance each, but as both were very difficult neither was accepted. Leslie, who had been playing excellent cricket since his arrival in the Colonies, was next in, but before he had got set was “ yorked” out by Costello. The brothers Studd now became partners, and as C. T. soon began to be busy, the score rose rapidly till at 82 G. B. was well taken by Camp­ bell off Grant at deep mid-on, having played an excellent innings of 45. Bead now joined Studd, but failed to give much trouble, as he was bowled by Costello with a shooter, having scored 4. A. G. Steel now joined C. T. Studd. who was still playing in his best form. The former was bowled by Flynn, but Bates and Studd gave more trouble; runs came at a great pace, till Bates, after scoring 32 by brilliant hitting, was clean bowled by Matthews, the same bowler crowning his successes shortly afterwards by shooting down C. T. Studd’s leg stump with a really good ball. The outgoing batsman had scored 52 in his usual brilliant style. Tylecote and Barnes were now together, but were not in partnership long, as the profes­ sional played a ball from Muirhead on to his wickets. Vernon now joined the English captain, and amused the spectators ,with some big h itting, tw ice p lacing th e b all clean out of the ground. W it h these hits 200 was telegraphed, and th en T ylecote w as “ c and b ” b y V ick, having scored 30. M o rle y , w ho n ow becam e V ern o n ’s partner, gave no troubl e, as shortly after hia arrival h e w as caugh t by C ostello off V ick, th e E n g lish in n in gs closing for 238, Vernon carrying out h is bat for 32.

The amateur members of the team then pro­ ceeded to Sunbury, to spend the Sunday with Sir W. J. Clarke, of Bupertswood, who was one of the passengers on board the Peshawur with them. Leaving there on the following afternoon they journeyed to Melbourne, where they were present at the banquet given to the Australian team who had j ust returned from England. _______________________ ENGLAND V. NEW SOUTH WALES. They arrived at Sydney at 7 a.m. on Nov. 29, and on the following day began their first contest in the colony of New South Wales. The ground was in perfect condition, and the number of spectators was fairly large at the commencement of play; the fair sex in the Grand Stand were also somewhat numerous—the attendance undoubtedly would have been more so, had the elements been more inviting, a very cold south east wind blowing very strongly across the ground. The captains decided that the match should be played on two wickets, and that each eleven should play on the wieket selected by their captain, and not have the op­ tion of the choice of wickets. This arrangement is customary in this colony. The New South Wales captain (Mr. Powell),-having had the (Continued on Page 10.)
