Cricket 1885

JAN. 29,1885, CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 7 being well placed for him. The score had reached 40, when a scorcher from Attewell clean bowled Massie, and the very next ball, a fast shooter, sent Garrett back clean bowled. Six for 40. The hopes of the N. S. W. men scoring a victory began to look gloomy. Misfortunes, too, continued, as Peel, who had bowled for Ulyett after he had sent down the ball to finish the over commenced on Saturday, was shunted for Barnes. Turner was bowled by Barnes directly, Bryant taken at point, Downes caught at the wicket, and then 0. Bannerman was bowled. All these wickets were taken by Barnes in twenty-five balls for I run only, Hiddleston came in with a broken finger to assist, if possible, to make a few more runs. The innings closed for 44, seven wickets falling for 17 runs in les3 than an hour. Shrewsbury and Scotto i opened the second innings of England, the bowlers being Garrett and Downes. Several maidens were sent down, when Scotton hit Garrett to leg for 4. Shrewsbury then sent a short one from Downes to leg for 4, and Scotton soon after hit another 4 to leg, when luncheon intervened. On resuming, very slow cricket ensued, many overs being bowled for a few singles. At last 30 appeared, and Evans went on in place of Downes, Scotton hit the new bowler for 2, and after a single from Garrett’s next over, Shrewsbury cracked Evans to leg for 4, soon after hitting him for 4 more, a splendid off-dri ve. Olarrett’s next over was fatal to Scotton, who pulled one on. He had played really well for 19. One for 42. Ulyett;, who followed, played carefully for five singles, when in attempting to pull an off- ball from Downes to leg, he hit it into his wicket. Two for 49. Barnes came next, but with the score at 56 lost Shrewsbury, clean bowled by Garrett for 25, made in his best iorm. Flowers joined Barnes, and quickly rattled up 15, when a smart catch at slip sent him back to the pavilion. Four for 74, Bates joined Barnes, and what hopes the N. S. W . men had of victory wore soon settled. Bates, who was in his best hitting form, commenced by driving Evans for 2 and 3, when DowDes again tried. Bates immediately hit him to leg for 4, and soon after sent him grandly to the on for 4 more. Another 4 by Bates from Downes caused Evans to try again. Garrett, who all this time had bowled in wonderful form, was at length hit by Barnes for 2, and, amidst cheers, the 100 went up. Bates then hit Evans twice for 2. He next made a tremendous on drive for 4 more, but with only 7 wanting to win, Barnes was run out. Bead joined Bates, and iiuked a couple from Garrett. Bates next hit Evans to leg for 2, and to the off for 2 more, making a tie of it. Then, from the fifth ball, which the umpire allowed Evans to bowl, Bates, who jumped into it, was wonderfully caught and bowled. This was, perhaps, the gem of the match, although i;wo other splendid catches from their bowling, by Attewell and Downes respectively, had been made. Bates hit the ball with all his force, and like lightning it was in the hands of Evans, who held it amidst thunders of applause. Briggs joined Head, who immediately hit Garrett to square- leg for 4, and the match was won by four wickets. The collapse of the New South Wales men in the second innings can hardly be accounted for. Admitting the wicket to be a little hard and fiery, seven wickets for 17 runs, is a miserable performance for men who all admit can bat well. When the Eng­ lishmen went in to make 119, many thought it plenty, but when they saw the easy manner in which Scotton and Shrewsbury played the bowling, they were more astonished at the rapid downfall of their champions, the last innings being played on the same wicket as the New South Wales men had had. Atte­ well and Barnes were the most successful bowlers for England, and Garrett bowled far and away best for Sydney. Bates was the champion English batsman in both innings. He was indeed at his best, and the manner in which he sent about the bowling on going in in the second innings was a treat to witness, the faint hopes of the Colonials gaining a victory being dispelled in a very few minutes. The match was played throughout in a pleasant spirit, not the slightest 'hitch occurring. Mr. James Swift and Shaw were umpires, The atten­ dance numbered at least 7,000, who appeared to watch every ball with the keenest interest. N ew S outh W alks , First Innings. S.

After a well-merited day’s rest, the team started on the morning of Nov. 27, at nine o’clock, for Windsor, a town situated on the Hawkesbury River, nearly forty miles from Sydney. The match was against Twenty- two of the Hawkesbury district, which in­ cluded some noted players, aud also some quite the opposite. The game was played on concrete, covered with two coats of cocoa matting, and played very well, but with a great amount of fire from the. pitch. ThS weather was fine and very hot. Shaw won the toss, and Shrewsbury, with Scotton as his partner, began the English innings. Shrewsbury was taken at slip when the total had reached 15. Ulyett, after making 9, pulled a wide one into his wicket, and Bates was caught at mid-off with the score at 43. Luncheon then took place. On resuming, Flowers and Scotton collared the bowling, which had been very good, and during the partnership added no less than 109, when Flowers was magnificently caught at square-leg for 74. His figures included many boundary hits, but he should have been caught at least five times. Read made 10 when a wonderful catch-—a regular fluke —sent him back. Briggs soon began to hit, but lost Scotton, who had been at the wickets nearly five hours f©r 00 runs. Attewell, with Briggs, played out time, the total being 208 for six wickets—Briggs 20, Attewell 8. The attendance was good, considering the popu­ lation of the district. On the following day Briggs and Attewell hit away in rare form till a drive into the long-field by Attewell was thankfully ac­ cepted. Then the innings soon terminated, Shaw being caught and bowled, Peel taken at short-leg, and finally Briggs well stumped for a dashing 57, with the total at 258. Peel aud Attewell commenced the bowling for the English team, and met with little resistance, the whole Twenty-two being out for 62. Peel at one time took five wickets in six bails,- tKf®5~}ir'Sttcecssimr.’''TB6 SecOil'Tln- nlngs' o f ffiC'Tweffty-tWETWas only a farce, as only fifty minutes were left to play. Bates and Flowers bowled, and six wickets fell for 51 runs when “ Time ! ” was called, and the match left drawn. The attendance was very meagre, owing partly, no doubt, to the un­ even state of the game, and also to the weather, thunderstorms prevailing all round, though very little rain fell in Windsor.
