CRICKET : A WEEKLY BECOIiD OF THE GAME. 41, ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.C. THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1885. - H } c P f l Y I M 0 N * 6 < W I P ^ The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. I h a v e much pleasure in giving publicity to the following letter from Miss A. Brooke, of Combe, near Woodstock, Oxfordshire:— “ Will you allow me to make an appeal through your widely circulated paper, to cricketers, past and present, for the gift of their disused bats, balls, gloves, &c. for our village club, which this year greatly needs replenishing. The club is entirely composed of working men and boys, and when I add there is no gentleman residing in the vil­ lage to assist in supporting this club, you will understand how acceptable the smallest donation or gift of any cricketing gear would be to its mem­ bers, and would be gratefully acknow­ ledged by me. Parcels should be addressed to Handborough Station,Ox­ fordshire, for ‘ Combe Cricket Club.’ ” Th e Federal Australian, of Feb. 7, gives some of the recent performances of a young Victorian batsman, who seems likely to come prominently to the front if occasion only offers. “ Mr. A. J. Noall during the last two or three weeks,” says the F .A ., “ has played the following innings :—With the University Zingari against the Hawthorn Bohemians, 178; against Richmond, 117 ; against M.C.C., 48 ; against E.M.C.C., 8 5 ; with the M.C.C. second against Geelong, 114 not out, out of a total of 2 0 1 ; with Eleven of M.C.C. v. E.M. Rovers, 116 not out. Noall has, therefore, played 6 innings, 4 completed, and scored 608 runs in 6 innings, twice not out.” A batsman who can claim an average of 152 for six innings, should ex­ perience little difficulty in securing a fair show in a better class of cricket.
