FEB. 26,1885. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 29 T H E F I F T E E N T H M A T C H . ENGLISH TEAM v. XXII. OF WOLLON­ GONG. Wollongong was en fete on Jan. 9th, on the occasion of the match between the English Team and Twenty-two of the district. Considering that the morning was territly hot, and that a fierce westerly breeze and a thunderstorm broke over the town at about 2 o’clock, the attendance was very good. The match was played on a matted wicket on the local racecourse. The wickets played well, bat the out-fielding ground was not good. The Englishmen won the toss, and, going in first, remained in possession of the wickets all the afternoon, scoring 171 runs. Shrewsbury, who was in for four hours, made the top score, and was caught out at last off a splendid hit which would have been out of any ordinary cricket ground. Flowers and Barnes also shaped well for their runs, the former being very free. The Twenty-two fielded well, and made some splendid catches. The most successful bowlers were Russell, who took five wickets for 43 runs, and James, three for 22 runs. No fewer than ten bowlers were tried. The visitors were well received by the residents. The match was concluded on Jan. 10th, the Englishmen winning by an innings and 64 runs. E hglish T eam . Bead, not out .. . .

The seventeenth match was begun on January 16, at Nowra, N.S.W., against twenty-two of Shoalhaven and district. The weather was intensely warm, nearly prostrating the players. The Englishmen won the toss and went in first. They made a bad start, losing three wickets for 41. When Attewell and Read got together, however, a better stand was made, and they carried out their bats. The match created great interest in the district, upwards of 1,000 persons being present. Hunter, owing to an injured hand, was unable to play. The following was the score when the mail left for England:— E nglish T kam .

NEW SOUTH WALES. Some excellent cricket was the result of the thirty-third match between elevens re­ presenting these Colonies, played on the ground of the Melbourne Club on December 26, 27, 29, and 30. New South Wales was unfortunate in not being able to secure the services of Spofforth, Evans, and Maisio, and in the a sence of the two first-named its bowling was so weakened that ths Victorians were expected to have an easy victory. The contest was instituted in March, 1856, and except for an interrup­ tion which prevented any meeting betwec n Feb. 1863 and Dec. 1865, the Inter-Colonial match has never lacked popularity. La.11 FebruaryNew SouthWales were only thought to have a poor chance, and yet they won easily by no less than 202 runs. In the pr - vious fixture, in December, 1883, some heavy scoring was recorded on both sides, aiiu each eleven was credited with a total of over 400 runs in its first innings. The last match was in many respects almost a parallel of that twelve months before. New South Wales, who won the toss, opened with a score of 403, which Victoria headed by 79 runs. Still, though the wicket was worn, the former were expected to make a fairly good show. Palmer, however, had found a spot, and Bruce and he bowled with such effect that to the great surprise of the spec - tators the innings was all over in an hour and forty minutes for 74, leaving the Vic­ torian eleven the winners by an innings ai d five runs. For New South Wales Murdoc , Marr, Jones, Pope, A. Bannerman. and I . Bannerman all batted well. Pope made hi-i first appearance in this match, and all the papers speak very highly of his p la ;. “ Felix,” in the Australasian , says that hi.- innings of 47 delighted everybody. “ It wi s quite a treat,” he says, “ to watch him pla , his style is so neat and correct—s. thoroughly first-class.” Percy McDonnell and Black'jam, who had played such splendid cricket against the English team atAdelaide, were again in brilliant form. McDonnell and Scott made the first hundred in about seventy minutes. Both were in great punishing form, though Scott ought to have been stumped early in his innings Trumble was unfortunately run out when almost suie of his hundred. He showed fine defence, and indeed his play all round was very good. Blackham’s 109 was a masterly display in every way, and his hitting all round was Next issue of Crioket March 26-
