Cricket 1886

AUG. 19,1886. CEICKET j A WEEKLY KECORD OF THE GAME. 369 and Briggs took full advantage, too, of their opportunities, and in a little over an hour the innings was over for the small total of 68. The two bowlers named were unchanged, and Palmer (15) and Trumble (13) were alone able to get double figures. Lohmann, helped by the ground, got a lot of work on to the ball, and his bowling figures were remarkable—30 overs and two balls, for 36 runs and 7 wickets. The wicket was not quite so difficult on Saturday, but still at the start it favoured the English bowlers considerably, and there was little hope for the Australians, who had had to follow on in a minority of 366 runs, being able to avert defeac. Giffen batted extremely well, and Palmer and Trumble forced the game, the former batting in fine style. Other­ wise there was nothing in the play deserving of notice, and when the tenth wicket fell, the total was only 149. England was thus left with an easy win, by an innings and 217 runs, the Australian team in their two innings having just got ono half of the English total. This is the most decisive victory ever achieved over an Australian team in this country. In the match Lohmann took twelve wickets for 104 runs. Mr. Tylecote’s wicket-keeping, we may add, was exceedingly good throughout. On the first day 11,368 persons paid for admission, on the second 9,786, and on Satur­ day 2,633, giving an aggregate of 23,787. Mr. W. G.

The Australians were successful in winning the first match of the Cheltenham week, defeating Gloucestershire, on the College Ground yesterday, after a very interesting finish, by 26 runs. Rain caused the wicket to favour the bowlers at the start, and the bats­ men were seen at a disadvantage throughout. Messrs. Giffen, who had just received from Australia the news of his elder brother’s death, and Jarvis were to have stood out of the Australian team, tkough as Mr. Bonnor, who was telegraphed for, did not appear, the latter batted in the second innings. On Monday only twelve wickets fell for an aggregate of 142, Mr. Garrett, who hit well for his 26, being the highest scorer. Though the Austra­ lians, who batted one short, were all out for 119, when Gloucestershire went in later in the day, Mr. Spofforth proved very effective in the bad light, clean bowling Messrs. W. G. Grace and Townsend in the half-hourthatremained, three of the best wickets being down at the finish for only 23 runs. On Tuesday, the bowlers again had all the best of the game, and Mr. Garrett and Woof did great execution for their respec­ tive sides. The former bowled so well that the County’s innings closed for an addition of 54 runs,taking four wickets at acost of only eleven runs. Though in a majority of 45 runs, the Australians began so badly when they went in a second time, that five wickets were down for 41. Fortunately for them Mr. Blackham was twice missed (at the wicket when he had got 2, and at cover-point when he had made 29), serious mistakes for Gloucester­ shire as the game went. This enabled the Australian wicket-keeper and Mr. Bruce, who was also let off at short slip before hehad scored, by free hitting to add 69 runs for the sixth wicket, and this stand proved invaluable to the side. Sixof the team failed to score, and the two batsmen named, with Mr. Palmer, who played well for his 29, were responsible for as many as 96 of 108 runs from the bat. Woof bowled with remarkable success. His last fourteen balls were delivered for four wickets and no runs, and altogether his average showed 29 overs for 32 runs and seven wickets. With 160 to win, Gloucestershire commenced their second innings late on Tuesday afternoon, and when play ceased, had got 58 of the number for the loss of three of their best batsmen, Mr. Brain, Mr. Radcliffe and Painter. Yesterday the brothers Grace were both seen to advan­ tage, and during their stay the score w'as 100 with only four wickets down. Gloucestershire then seemed to have the best of the game, but after E. M.’s retirement for an excel­ lent 50, the bowlers, helped by the ground, had things more than their own way, and in the end the Australians were able to claim a well-deserved victory. Spofforth, it will be seen, bowled with more success than has attended his efforts since the accident to his finger. In the match he took ten Gloucester­ shire wickets at an expense of 106 runs.
