Cricket 1886

JUTA, t 8, 1886. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OP THE GAME. 265 TH E F I F TH A U S T R A L I A N T EAM . IN ENGL AND . FIFTEENTH MATCH.—v. MR. C. I. THORNTON’S ELEVEN. The Australian team had all the best of the draw n this match, played on the pretty ground of the Chiswick Park Club on Friday and Saturday last. It was the first fixture of real importance at this enclosure, and the arrangements generally were excellent, re­ flecting great credit on the executive. Mr. Thornton’s eleven though fairly strong in batting was weak in bowling, and the Aus­ tralians winning the toss were in all the first day. The chief feature of the innings was the fine batting of the junior of the team, Mr. Bruce. He went in fifth wicket down, and was ninth out at 335. Of the 180got during his stay he made 106, by far the best display of cricket he has as yet given in England. It was an excellent innings, combining defence with no small amount of hitting power, and his success will give general satisfaction. Mr. Thornton’s Eleven went in at 11.40 on Satur­ day, and were out by four o’clock for 157, Giffen taking six and Garrett four wickets. In the follow-on they were only slightly more successful in spite of the vigorous hitting of Mr. Thornton and another capital display of cricket by -Mr. Tylecote. When play ceased six wickets were down for 130, so that Mr. Thornton’s team at the finish still wanted 58 to save the innings with only four wickets to The fielding on both sides was faulty fall. though the oppressive heat may be held to be partially responsible for any shortcomings. It will be noticed that Spofforth bowled thirty overs without taking a wicket. Though the attendance was hardly as large as might have been expected, on the second day it was fairly good, and for a first attempt the match was decidedly successful. Among the visitors on the first afternoon were H.R.H. Prince Christian and his son Prince Christian Victor. A ustralians . Mr. H. J. H. Scott, c Davenport,bHearne 18 Mr. S. P.

SIXTEENTH MATCH.—v. ENGLAND. After an excellent display of all-round cricket the first of the three matches to be played by the Australian team against a picked eleven of England, begun at Manchester on Monday, ended yesterday in a victory for England by four wickets. The English eleven was a representative one, although the places of Barnes and Mr. Hornby, owing to strains, had to be filled up, Barlow and Briggs being substituted. Spofforth, who had been playing last week, was able to help the Australians, and Mcllwraith and Evans stood out. Mr. Scott won the toss from Mr. Steel, who captained the English eleven, and the Australians, with thewicket in goodcondition, naturallychose the innings. Messrs. Scott and Jones, who opened the batting, made a capital start, and by ex­ cellent cricket the score was taken to 58 before the former was caught. Messrs. Jones and Jarvis made another stand for the third wicket, adding 63 runs while together. Of the 184 got while he was in Mr. Jones had contributed 87, a fine display of cricket in every way without a mistake. Mr. Jarvis hit well for 45, but the laterbatsmen did not show to advantage against the capital all-round cricket of the English eleven, the last seven wickets only adding 71 runs. Though when England went in Mr. Grace was soon dismissed, Shrewsbury, Mr. Read, Barlow and Ulyett all played well, and the Australian total was passed with eighteen^ runs in hand. Mr. Read’s 51 was an admirable display of batting quite up to his best standard. Barlow and Lohmann put on 46 runs for the eighth wicket. The Surrey bowler was missed at long on when he had only got a single, but afterwards pla} ed in capital style, getting his runs well at a time when they were much wanted. Barlow car­ ried out his bat for a thoroughly good 38. Going in again in a minority of 18, Messrs. Scott and Jones again showed themselves in good form, making 37 for the first wicket. After this, though, matters went badly for the Australians, and when play ceased on Tuesday night four of the best batsmen were out for 55 , or only 37 on. Rain fell on Tuesday night and run-getting yesterday was not so easy, the wicket at one end being difficult. Mr. Scott, who had played excellent cricket, was bowled when he had got 47, and with the exception of some free hitting bv Messrs. Garrett and Spofforth, the remainder of the innings presented no notable feature except the excellent bowling of Barlow, who took five of the last wickets, getting in all seven wickets at a cost of 44 runs. Wanting 106 to win, England made a bad start, and four of the best batsmen were dismissed for an aggregate of 37. Barlow, however, again came to the rescue of his side, and it was chiefly through his ex­ cellent batting helped by Mr. Steel, who was missed at slip, that the England Eleven were able to secure the victory with four wickets to spare.
