Cricket 1886

CEICKET: A WEEKLY BECOED OP THE GAME. JULY 29, 1886. I u n derstan d that the Secretary ofthe Melbourne Club has received a cablegram trom Melbourne instructing him to bring out the best' available English team, and authorising him to offer Messrs.- Shaw, Shrewsbury and Lillywhite certain inducements in the matter of terms if they will defer their tour to the following season, in which case the M.C.C. would render every possible help. I t : seems to me that an arrangement of this kind might well, if such has not been the case, have been suggested somQ time ago. Even at this late hour it is to be hoped that some agreement—one should be easy enough to my mind—will be found to prevent the absurdity of two teams visiting the Colonies on the same errand, but under different auspices. T h e Surrey eleven to oppose the Australians at the Oval to-day will con­ sist of Messrs. J. Shuter, W, W. Read, W. E. IloUer, and,Read, Diver, Bowley, Abel, Lohmann, Wood, Jones and Beaumont.

YORK­ SHIRE. Bad luck attended the executive of the Huddersfield Club in this match begun on the St. John’s Ground on Thursday. Rain reduced the time of play to less than half an hour on Thursday, and on Friday the game only lasted an hour and fifty-five minutes from the same cause. Messrs. Spofforth, Evans, and Bonnor were standing out of the Australian team, and Mr. R. J. Pope, of Edinburgh University, was again utilised to complete the eleven. The first two days were occupied in the dismissal of five of the best wickets of Yorkshire, Hall, the captain, being chief contributor to the aggre­ gate of 145 witW 34. On Saturday Peel and Lee~played spirited cricket, and the two pro­ fessionals added 103 runs for the sixth wicket in an hour and an half. The Australians made a veiy bad start against the bowling of Peate, Bates, and Emmett, helped by the ground, and seven of the best batsmen were out for 78. Messrs. M’llwraith and.Garrett, however, were not so easily separated, and 91 runs were added before the next wicket fell. Each batsman had a life, but their play was none the less worthy of all praise under the circumstances. Following on in a minority of 89, in the twenty-five minutes that remained the Australians secured 24 for the loss of their best batsman, Mr. Jones. The draw, therefore, was in favour of the County, the Australian team being still 65 behind with nine wickets to fall. Y o r k s h ir e .

While they were at the wickets the Aus­ tralians scored 81 for three wickets, Mr. Giffen not out with a thoroughly well got score of 51. On the resumption on Tuesday matters !went for a time badly with the Australian *team, and when the eight wicket fell the total was only 140. Mesers*-J£lackham and Bruce, however, played with great confidence, and during their partnership the game underwent a complete change. . Both batsmen scored freely <?ff the good bowling to which they were opposed, and the score had been raised by 107 mns before Bruce was bowled for an admirable 43, in which were a 5 and three 4*s. Blackham’s 71, his best score so far this summer, was also an excellent display of free cricket. When play ceased on Tuesday night the England eleven had made 35 for one wicket, and this number was increased yesterday to 119 before the innings closed, Mr. Studd being chief con­ tributor with 27, in which was one four. Fol lowing on in a minority of 129, the England team made a better start, Shrewsbury and Mr. Studd making 39 for the first wioket. Barnes and Flowers subsequently offered a sturdy resistance to the Australian bowling, but the later batsmen did little, and the match was ultimately drawn, an arrangement having been made to stop play at 5.45 instead of 6 p.m., to allow the Australian Te^m to reach London last night. They only wanted 20 to win with jail ten wickets in hand. In the match Mr. Giffen took twelve wickets at a cost of 91 runs, an average of a little over seven-and-a-half runs. A u str alia n s .

Heath, the old Oxonian, who is one of the moving spirits of the Staffordshire Club, was able to place a strongish team into the field on Monday in opposition to the Australians, on the new Staffordshire County ground at Stoke-on-Trent. The Aus­ tralian eleven was the same as at Huddersfield last week, Messrs. Spofforth, Bonnor, and Evans all standing out. Rain reduced the time of actual play on Monday considerably, S h rew sb u ry , b Flowers ............... 3 Mr.G.Giffen, b Briggs 53 Mr. G. E. Palmer, b J Barnes ...............20 Mr. J.
