Cricket 1884

54 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE CAME. APRIL 17, 1884 Powell, Evans, Boyle, and M ‘Donnell dis­ tinguished themselves by making a clever catch eaoh. The match might have been a very interesting one if each side had a fresh wicket to bat on, and it is a pity, in the interests of good cricket, that such an ar­ rangement was not made. SIXTH MATCH.—v, TWENTY-TWO OF QUEENSLAND. The Australian team began the first of two fixtures in Qaeensland at Brisbane, on February 22. The 22 included Ned Sheri­ dan, the well-known Inter-colonial player, E. Wearne, another Inter-colonial, and R.C. Ramsay, who bowled so successfully for Cambridge University against the Austra­ lian eleven of 1882. The wicket did not play well, and the scoring on both sides was small. Palmer took twenty-three wickets (fourteen in the first innings for 39 runs), Giffen twelve. Midwinter five, and Cooper and Boyle each one. Q ueensland T wenty - two . First Innings. Second Innings.

The feature of the game was the hitting of Giffen and Bonnor. The latter made no less than five hits clean out of the ground, and both batsmen sent the ball at least twenty yards over the rails. The Eleven won by an innings and 46 runs. Palmer in the two innings of Twenty-two took twenty wickets for 68 runs. In the second innings Boyle took eleven wickets for 36 runs. A ustralian E levbn .

On March 7 the Australians began the last match but one of their preliminary tour in Victoria, on the ground of the Melbourne Club. Their opponents were Fifteen of Victoria, and the fixture was under the patronageof the Victorian Cricketers Associa­ tion- Urgent business called G. Giffen to Adelaide, and G. Alexander had to take his place in the eleven. Neither McShane nor Turner were able to join the Fifteen, so that neither side had its full strength. Horan, who acted as Captain of the Victorians, won the toss from Murdoch, and the eleven had to take the field. The chief feature of the first day’s cricket was the excellent batting of Horan, who was just out as rain stopped play, an hour before the stipulated time, having contributed 83 out of 171 for six wiekets. Heavy rain during the night caused the wicket to be in favour of the bowlers on the second day (March 8),and the total of the Fifteen was only increased to 240, Boyle taking six wickets for 40 runs. Bannerman and Midwinter played good cricket for the Australian team. Bruce’s bowling was the feature of the Eleven’s innings. The T otal. .113 12 22 W. Bruce, b Palmer ..
