Cricket 1886

AUG. 12,1886. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 847 THE FIFTH AUSTRALIAN TEAM IN ENGLAND. TWENTY-FIFTH MATCH.—v. GLOUCES­ TERSHIRE. The Gloucestershire eleven showed to dis­ tinct advantage in the first of their two matches arranged with the Australian team, played at Clifton on Thursday last and two following days. At the finish the Australians Btill wanted 195 runs to win with only half their wickets to fall, so that the game was certainly drawn in favour of the County. Gloucestershire was well represented, but the Australians were not in their full strength, Messrs. Spofforth and Bonnor standing out. Mr. W. G. Grace was fortunate enough to win the toss, and Gloucestershire were in most of the first day, reaching 220 before the tenth wicket fell. Of 212 from the bat, Messrs. Brain, E. M. Grace, and Moberly con­ tributed 164, the other eight batsmen being thus accountable for only 48. Messrs. Brain and Moberly each got 60 by brilliant cricket, and Mr. E. M. Grace’s 44 was an excellent display of steady batting. When the Austra­ lians went in on Thursday afternoon, Messrs. Jones and Giffen played well, and the score at the end of the day was 64 with one batsman (Mr. £>cott) out. On Friday morning things went all in favour of the County, and when Mr. Blackham came in five wickets were down for only 70 runs. The latter, always good at a pinch, hit with great freedom, and it was chiefly to his stand with Mr. Jones which resulted in the addition of 87 runs, that the Australian team were abie to get within nine runs of their opponents. Mr. Jones was batting two hours and a half for his 67, which contained one chance in the slips when he had got 46. The second innings of Gloucestershire was noteworthy for the success of Messrs. W. G. Grace, Brain, and Page. The two first- named scored at a great pace, and Mr Brain supplemented his excellent performance on the first day with another excellent exhibition of batting, scoring 70 out of 137 while in by free and masterly cricket. Mr. Grace was not dismissed till Saturday morning, adding 49 to his over-night score before he was caught at the wicket. He had been in altogether three hours and thirty-five minutes for his 110, in which there was only one mistake, a hard chance to long-on when he had got 39. There ■were forty-five singles in his score. This is Mr. Grace’s third innings of three figures this year in important matches. Mr. Page, though he gave two chances, was in two hours and ten minutes for his useful 66. When the Australians went in a second time they wanted 368 runs to win, with only two hours and three-quarters left for play. During this time five wickets fell for 173, of which 118 were contributed by Messrs. Scott and Giffen. Both batsmen, in different styles, played capital cricket, the former scoring well while his partner adhered to a defensive game. Mr. W. G. Grace in the first innings of the Aus­ tralians took seven wickets for 63 runs, ex­ cellent figures on the run-getting wickets at Clifton. G loucestershire . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. O. O.

Heavy rain prevented any play at all on Tuesday in this match on the new ground of the Warwickshire Club at Birmingham, and as the fixture was restricted to two days, only a little more than an innings to each side took place. The pitch was more in favour of the bowlers than the batsmen at the outset, and the Australians, who were without Messrs. Spofforth, Bonnor and Jarvis, were dismissed for 107, of which Messrs. Palmer and Giffen contributed more than half. Mr. Rock and Shilton both bowled with great effect, the latter, a k I ow left-handed bowler engaged by the Liverpool Club, taking five wickets for 32 runs. With the exception of Mr. Bainbridge, the Cambridge captain, who got exactly one- half of the runs from the bat, none of the County batsmen could do much against the bowling of Messrs. Giffen and Palmer, who were unchanged, dividing equally the ten wickets. Going in again in a majority of 37, the Australians lost three wickets, all got by Shilton, so that at the finish they were 72 on with seven wickets to fall. A ustralians . First Innings. Mr. S.P.
