Cricket 1883

28 CRICKET j A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME, march ig, im. ■wicket. (Five for 94). Tylecote now left the Pavilion, and Barnes, with 3 only to his credit was “ 1 b w ” to Spofforth. (Six for 94). Bates came next, the wicket at this time being cut up and exceedingly treacherous. The new comer, after giving a possible chance to Palmer at mid-on, lost Tylecote, who got under a bumpy one, and, lifting it to long-on, was caught by Bonnor (seven for 97). Hon. Ivo Bligh filled the vacancy, but with only one added to the total, Bates was caught by Mur­ doch at point, off Horan, and eight wickets were down for 9d. G. B. Studd was the next, and he opened proceedings by cutting Horan for 4, bringing the “ century” on the board. Runs now came with considerable rapidity, Bligh hit­ ting with considerable freedom. 110 was quickly announced, but, with 5 more added, Studd cut Spofforth into the slips, and was caught by Gar­ rett, with 8 to his credit—(nine for 115). Mor­ ley now appeared, but with only three added, he was clean bowled by Spofforth, and the innings closed for 123, the Hon. Ivo Bligh having scored 17 (not out) by a good, free exhibition of batting on a difficult wicket. At ten minutes to six o’clock the Australians commenced their second innings with 153 wanted to win. Giffen and Bannerman, as in the first innings, faced the bowling of Morley and Barlow, and after seven maidens time was called. The game was resumed on the following morn • ing to the bowling of Morley and Barlow. Bannerman got Barlow away to leg for 4, but that bowler had his revenge by bowling Giffen for 7. (One for 11). Murdoch followed, and Banner­ man after giving a possible chance to C. T. Studd 'off Morley, put one up to point, and was caught by Bligh for 5. (Two wickets for 12.) Horan filled the vacancy, and with 6 added Murdoch was caught by G. B. Studd close in on the off. (Three wickets for 18.) M‘Donnell followed, but before any addition was made to the score, he was caught splendidly at point by Bligh off Morley. (Four for 18.) Massie took the vacancy, but he soon lost Horan who was run out for 8. (Five for 30.) Bonnor came next and with but. 3 added Ma^sie hit one up behind cover-point which was secured by C. T. Studd. (Six for 33). Blackham followed, but things still went in favour ©f England, and at 56, Bonnor was clean bowled by Barlow. (Saven for 56.) Spofforth joined Blackham. and the former hit a hard one to Barnes, whit hhe dropped. The 70 was not long in being hoisted, but at 72 Spof­ forth hit one up to long-on off Barlow, and was caught by Steel. (Eight wickets for 72). Palmer followed, and runs continued to come until 80 was hoisted, when Blackham played Barlow on, and had to retire for a well got 26. (Nine wickets for 80.) Garrett was last man, and after two leg byes and a wide, was bowled by Barlow, the innings closing for 83, England winning by 69 runs. After the match ter­ minated, the Australasian says, the Hon. Ivo Bligh was called forth by the crowd, and each of his associates had to follow in ordinary course to bow acknowledgments to the enthusiastic lookers-on. On their way to the luncheon room too, the Britishers had to face a perfect storm of plaudits, and Barlow, owing to his very suc­ cessful bowling, had the honour of being carried shoulder high by the excited crowd right into the luncheon room itself. The Hon. Ivo Bligh too had his hand shaken nearly off by many enthusiastic well-wishers, and altogether it seemed as if those present had fully made up their minds to duly appreciate the victory of the Englishmen.

After their victory the English team left Sydney for Queensland, where arrangements had been made for them to play two matches. With a view to give them a proper reception at Brisbane, a number of gentlemen, including the Hon. R. Archer, Colonial Treasurer; Mr. B. D. Morehead, Postmaster-General; Justice Cooper, and Mr. Porter, Mayor of Brisbane, proceeded down the bay, on February 1, in the steamer Kate, to meet the cricketers and convey them to town. When on board Mr.Morehead proposed the health of the Englishmen, and said it would be a reu-letter day in the annals of Queensland. The Hon. Ivo Bligh thanked them in a neat speech for their kind reception. The steamer reached Queen’s Wharf about six o’clock, and the cricketers, who were enthusiastically received by a large crowd, were driven inafour-in-hand by Justice Cooper to the Queensland Club. ENGLISH ELEVEN v. EIGHTEEN OF BRISBANE. This match was begun at Brisbane on February 2. The contest excited an immense amount of public interest, and the day was kept as a close holiday. The match took place on the racecourse, where a wicket had been specially prepared for the occasion. It is estimated that about 7,000 spectators were present, including a large number of country visitors. The weather, unfortunately, marred the success of the play. During the morning the weather was close and hot, but about three o’clock rain fell in torrents, and play was sus­ pended for about an hour. It was resumed soon after, but rain again fell, and stumps had to be drawn at about half-past five. Bligh won the toss, and elected to go in first with C. T. Studd. The Queensland bowling was begun by Wearne and Hobbs, and Bligh was caught from the latter after scoring 3. The capabilities of the Queensland bowlers were taxed to the utmost, and no less than eight tried their hands with the ball. The fielding, however, was excellent, and many runs were saved by really smart work. Barlow was suffering from the effects of an accident met with in the Sydney match, but, nevertheless, played up pluckily. Unfortunately he was severely hurt during his innings, incapacitating him fora short time from’playing. Read was the highest scorer, with 84, and when stumps were drawn only nine wickets were down for 252. E nglish E leven . Hon. Ivo Bligh, c Sylves­ ter, b Hobbs .. .. 3 C. T.
