Cricket 1884

240 CRICKET; A ‘WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, JutiE26,1884. T H E FOURTH A U S T R A L I A N T EAM . THE AUSTRALIANS v. NORTH OF ENGLAND. The Australian team suffered their fourth defeat in the twelfth match of their tour concluded at Manchester on Friday last. Neither Mr. A. G. Steel, Hall, nor Emmett were included in the Northern eleven, and owing to an injury to his hand Pilling’s place had to be taken by Sherwin. The Northerners nevertheless won by an innings and 22 runs, a success mainly due to the extraordinarily effective bowling of Peate. He kept up his end unchanged during the match, and took ten of the Australian wickets at a cost of only fifty-one runs. Consider­ ing that the ground was hard and fast, it was a wonderful performance, and one which goes far to prove once more that he is the best slow bowler of the day. Ulyett also bowled well but his analysis was in no way to be compared with that of Peate. Mr. Hornby’s hand had recovered sufficiently to enable him to play, and though he was missed more than once his hitting was very clean. Barnes played fine cricket for his 67, and Mr. Hornby and he contributed 161 to the aggregate of 215 from the bat. A u str a lia n s . First Innings. A. C.

The wicket wore badly and on the second day the cricket was extraordinary. Boyle and Palmer bowled so effectively when Liver­ pool went in a second time that seven wickets were down for 17 runs, and the innings closed for 54, of whirh Mr. A. G. Steel con­ tributed 29. This left the Austialians with 128 to win, and with five wickets down for 23 the game seemed almost over. Murdoch and Blackham, however, again proved them­ selves reliable batsmen at a pinch, and by very fine cricket they added 69 before the latter was out leg-before for a thoroughly well-got 28. Four runs were still wanted to win when Boyle, the last batsman, joined Murdoch, but a cut for three by the latter and a bye decided the match in favour of the Australians. Too much praise cannot be given to Murdoch for his judicious play. The Australians have of late shown unmistakably their ability to play a up-hill game, and this match was only another proof of their pluck. Crossland took eleven wickets for 70 runs.
