322 CBICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, j u i * » i, ism . T H E F O U R T H A U S T R A L I A N T E A M . THE AUSTRALIANS v. SUSSEX. The Sussex eleven deserve every congratu • lation on the excellent show they made in this match, at Brighton, on Thursday last and two following days. Blackham was un­ able to play for the Australians owing to an injured finger, and Cooper again took his place in the eleven. Sussex winning the toss lost two of their most reliable batsmen —Messrs. Ellis and Newham—for one run between them. Tester, Mr. Whitfeld, and Jesse Hide, however, by good cricket, im­ proved the score materially, and when the seventh wicket fell the total was 191. With only Phillips, Juniper, and A. Hide to help Mr. Wyatt there did not seem to be a chance of any great addition to the score. Phillips, however, showed sur­ prisingly good cricket, and Mr. Wyatt and he hit all the Australian bowling so v ig o r ­ ously that 182 runs were added before Mr. Wyatt was at last bowled. He had given no chance until he had got 91, and his 112 was a very fine display of free cricket. At the close of the first day only nine wickets of Sussex were down for 387, Phillips then being not out 109. On resuming the wicket­ keeper only added a couple before he was caught, and the innings thus closed for the large total of 396, the largest ever m*de by a county against an Australian team. Phillips had not of late been successful with the bat, and, indeed, he had never before made a hundred in an important match. His performance was a great sur­ prise, but still his batting was of a very high quality, and he only gave one chance when he had reached 92. His success was very popular, and a collection on the ground gamed for him a substantial reward of twenty guineas. Heavy rain on Friday morning, and again in the afternoon, did not improve the chances of the Australians when they went in to bat. More than one mistake in the field, though, helped them materially. McDonnell was let off by Tester at cover point before a run had been made, and Mr. Ellis at point missed Murdoch when he had scored nine. Even then five wickets were down for 108, and Sussex seemed likely to have a long lead. Murdoch and Mid­ winter, though, played such good cricket that their partnership was productive of 112 runs, and at the end of the second day the score showed six wickets for 223. When play was resumed, Midwinter, who had made 67 without a chance, was caught at mid-on from Humphrey’s lobs, and Spof forth and Palmer were stumped also from the same bowler. Boyle and Cooper were the last batsmen, and Mr. Ellis at point let off the former before he had seored. This was a serious mistake, as Boyle aftewards hit very freely, and the tenth wicket in- c-ftksed the total by 48 runs. Being 88 “behind, the Australians had to follow on, and Humphreys did a remarkable perfor­ mance, getting all the first four wickets, three, those of McDonnell, Giffen and Scott, with sucsessive balls, the fourth of one over, and the first and second of the next. When the fourth wicket fell tbe score was only thirteen, but Bonnor hit freely, while Murdoch played steadily, and 78 were added before they were separated. Midwinter again batted well, but the later bats­ men did little, and the innings closed for 144. -Sussex were left with 52 runs to win in 58 minutes, and as they had no chance of being beaten, they tried to score fast. As a consequence, Mr. Whitfeld, Phillips and Jesse Hide were all run out, and at six o’clock the game ended in a draw, the County wanting 33 to win with six wickets to fall. Their performance was in every way a highly praiseworthy one, but at the same time great credit was due to the Australians, considering that they had the worst of the wicket, for saving the match.. The batting of Phillips and Mr. Wyatt gave Sussex the first advantage, but Humphreys’ bowling was an equally noteworthy feature of the match. The County would, though, have made even a better show, but for the poor fielding of the team. To this Mr. Whitfeld and Humphreys were exceptions, the former especially showing brilliant form through­ out. Humphreys took eleven wickets for 166 runs, and the public were so pleased with his performance that £18 10s. was collected on his behalf. S u ss e x . First Innings. Mr. W .
