Cricket 1884

303 ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA. English cricketers will be higl\ly gratified at the decisive success which attended the eleven of England at. Lord’s yesterday, in the second of the three representative matches arranged for this season. The greatest interest had been taken in the com­ position of the English team, and though many would have JiUed to have seen Scotton as ivell as Bates included, the substitution of Barlo>v for Barnes was regarded with satisfaction, and tho eleven generally as re­ presentative, The cricket throughout was yery interesting, and in every way worthy of the importance of the match. The in­ tense excitement taken in the play, too, was shown by the largS attendances ou each -day, and altogether more than forty thousand.spectators must have been present during tbe game. As Lord Harris was unlucky in the toss, the Australians.ba,tted first, and rente’s bowling at tlie outset was so effective,.'that McDon­ nell, Bannerman, Murdoch and Midwinter were all out, and all four from Peate, be­ fore fifty had been got. Giffen by very fine cricket added 63, and the two last batsmen, Scott and Boyle-, added 60 runs. Scott, who played with great confidence and judgment for his seventy-five, has been singularly suc­ cessful in London. His seventy - five, an admirable innings, was .brought to a close by Murdoch, fielding at point as substitute for Mr. W. G. Grace, who had hurt his finger badly. Batting in a bad light on Monday, England lost three good wickets for 90, Shrewsbury being stumped just at the finish. Continuing on Tuesday, Mr. Steel played most brilliant cricket, and he and Barlow added 98 while they were together, Their stand, during which the Australian total was passed with only five wickets doym, entirely altered the aspect of the game, and too much praise cannot be given to Barlow for his careful play just at a time when it was most wanted. Mr. Lyttelton also lent useful assistance, and it was not until the score had reached 351, that Mr. Steel’s grand innings was brought to a close. He was batting alto­ gether for just under four hourr, and his play was throughout masterly in every way. He gave a difficult chance to Boyle at short mid-on when he had got 48, and he had a life at the hands of McDonnell in the long - field the ball before he was out, These, though, were his only errors, and his innings of 148 has the merit of being the highest ever made against Colonial bowling, except Mr. Grace’s 152 for England in 1880. The Australians went in a second time at 4;40 on Tuesday afternoon, and in an hour and thirty-five minutes had lost four of their best wickets for 75. The continuation of the innings yesterday was only noteworthy for another excellent display by Scott. The Victorian played the English bowling with confidence, but the rest could do little with Ulyett, and as Blackham could not resume owing to an injured finger the innings closed for 150, Scott carrying out his bat for 31. The English eleven consequently gained an easy.victory by an innings .and live runs, more than ample compensation for the Australian win in 1882 by seven runs. The chief contributors to this success were Mr. Steel and Ulyett. The bowling <?f the York- shireman bumped yesterday considerably, but despite that the ground helped him materially his performance was a fine one. His analysis in the second in­ nings of the Australians showed 39 overs and a ball,23 maidens, fpr 36 runs and seven wickets. On the first day 13,456 paid for admission into the''ground, on Tuesday, 16,386, and yesterday1'?,569; so that in the three days 35,411 paid, AC stramass . First-Innings. Second Innings. P. S.
