Cricket 1883

162 CRICKET; A "WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 14, 1883. heir first match in England, in 1878, and in the memorable match of 1880, when Notts beat the second Australian team by a wicket the victory was mainly due to the fine bowling of Shaw, who took twelve Australian wiekets for 95 runs. An unfortunate disagreement with the committee caused Shaw’s severance from the Notts County Club, in 1881, but in the matches in which he did figure he was singularly successful, and many will vividly remember the glorious finish of the match for James Lillywhite’s benefit, at Brighton, between the Gentlemen and the Players, wh en, after a tie on the first innings, Shaw won the match for the Players with one run to spare. In conjunction with Shrewsbury and James Lillywhite, Shaw took a professional team over to Australia at the end of 1881, and this proved to be a great success, both financially and cricketically. There were some captious critics to argue then that Shaw’s hand had lost some of its cunning, but in 1882 he was almost as effective with the ball, and, in addition to having the greatest aggregate number of wickets, he played some very creditable innings, notably his 88 in the return with Middlesex. As a bowler Alfred Shaw has certainly had no superior. His delivery is of medium pace, with a break back, just enough to be effective. His precision is wonderful, and, indeed, con­ sidering the amount of work he has done for close on twenty years, his accuracy of pitch even yet is extraordinary. One of the chief con­ tributories to his success, as of all good bowlers, has been his aptitude for discovering the weak points of a batsman, and, possessed of consider­ able pluck, he does not mind being hit, as is the misfortune of so many trundlers. No bowler of the present generation, perhaps, has been so little hit, as he varies his pitch and pace with singular judgment. He has got many wickets with his high slow ball, but perhaps the most effective of all is his fast low one, the length of which is at all times very difficult to judge. As a batsman he not only hits very hard but plays very good cricket, and has often been of great use when runs were most wanted. He is, too, particularly good in the field, being a really good shot at the stumps, with a smart return, and close to the wicket has no superior, being a safe catch. W o o d fo r d W e l l s C.
