Cricket 1886

SEPT. 9, 1886. C R I C K E T A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 411 T H E F IF T H A U S T R A L IA N TEAM IN ENG LAN D . THIRTY-THIRD MATCH—v. LORD LON­ DESBOROUGH’S ENGLAND ELEVEN. The Australian team furnished the chief part of the attraction for the second match of the Scarborough festival, occupying the latter half of last week. The England eleven differed in four instances from the team which beat the Australians so decisively at Lord’sand the Oval, Bates,Flowers, andMessrs. C. I. Thornton and W. E. W. Collins taking the places of Mr. A. G. Steel, Mr. W. W. Read, Shrewsbury and Lohmann, who were unable to play for various reasons. The Australians, who had on the previous day a long outing at Gravesend, were placed at a still further disad­ vantage in a tedious night journey to Scar­ borough, so that they did not commence the game und<r the best auspices. In addition, too, they were unfortunate enough to lose the toss, and it was hardly a surprise under the circum­ stances that they had another severe turn of leather-hunting. Owing to the late arrival of the train bringing the Australians the game was not begun until ten minutes to one o’clock on Thursday, and as stumps were drawn at six there was only a little over four hours of actual play. During this time the England eleven were able to secure 266 for the loss of three wickets. Mr. W. G. Grace and Scotton very nearly emulated their achievement in the representative match at the Oval, scoring 156 —or only fourteen less than they made during their partnership on August 12 in London—be­ fore theywere separated. Mr. Grace,whosechief successes with the bat this season have been mostly against the Australians, played brilliant cricket. He was very nearly caught behind the bowler when he had made seventeen, but otherwise there was no blemish of any kind in his 92. Scotton was second out at 178. Of these he had contributed as many as 71, a greater proportion than is his wont. His play indeed showed far more freedom than usual, and his score, in which were as many as ten fours, was certainly one of the very best innings he has ever played. Flowers, who had not been as successful as usual with the bat this season, played in his best style. His 82, which only contained one chance to slip when he had got 25, included twelve fours. The innings, which was not over till close on four o’clock on Friday, had lasted seven hours and twenty-five minutes, during which time 585 runs were totalled, the highest score yet made against an Australian eleven in this country, 57 more than the previous best, Surrey’s 501 at the Oval at the end of July. Mr. Spofforth, who owing to a strain was unable to bowl on Friday morning, took one wicket at a cost of sixty*one runs, and Mr. Garrret had the best analysis,though his threewickets weregot at an average of over 43runs. Notwithstanding the large score against them, the Australians played up with the greatestpluck. On Friday night they had lost three wickets for 77 runs, and thanks to the good cricket of Messrs. Trumble, Bonnor, Bruce and Scott the total had been raised to 231 before the innings closed. Mr. Bonnor’s foot unfortunately gave way when he had made 46, and he was unable to continue his innings, a great loss to the side. His figures included two leg hits out of the ground from Flowers for six. With a deficit of 327 against them, and two hours and a half still left for play, the Australians were not in the most enviable position when they entered on their second innings. Messrs. Jones and Palmer, though, batted in such brilliant form, that the game was ultimately left in a very creditable position for their side. Despite the excellent and varied bowling of the opposition the two batsmen put on 161, five more than were made by Mr: Grace and Scotton on Thursday, before Mr. Palmer was out. His 75, a fine display in every way, in­ cluded a six and ten fours. Mr. Jones was not out at the finish. He was batting for two hours and a half, and his 108, his second score of three figures in England this year, was thoroughly worthy of his high reputation. The Australians in their second innings scored 192 for the loss of only one batsman, so that in the end they were only 135 behind with nine wickets to fall. This under the circumstances was an exceptionally good performance, one which reflected the highest credit on the whole team. In the three days 20wickets real­ ised 981 runs, an extraordinarily high average of nearly fifty runs. It is worthy of remark,too, that during the match Messrs. Garrett and Mcllwraith were the only batsmen who failed to get double figures. Messrs. Blackham and Evans stood out of the Australian team. E ngland E leven . Mr. W . G.

THIRTY-FOURTH MATCH.—v. ELEVEN PLAYERS OF ENGLAND. After three days’ good cricket this match, played on the Horton Park Avenue Ground, Bradford, ended yesterday in a draw. The Australians, who won the toss, despite a by no means promising commencement, in the end reached a creditable total of 247. This was mainly due to the excellent batting of the captain, Mr. Scott. Going in sixth wicket down he was credited with 72 of the last 127 runs, an innings in his very best form. Mr. Mcllwraith helped to add 75 for the ninth wicket, and later Mr. Garrett and he put on 35 before the innings closed. Seven of the English team got into double figures. Read, Barlow, Gunn, Heame, and Scotton all played well, though the chief feature of the batting was the stand made by the two first-named, who both played excellent cricket, adding 81 runs for the third wicket. The Australians, who entered on their second innings with nine runs in'lhand, when play ceased on Tuesday night had made 20 for the loss of one oi ‘their best batsmen (Palmer) so that they started yesterday 29 runs to the good with nine wickets to fall. As in the first innings, Messrs. Scott and Mcllwraith were again seen to advantage, and in addition Messrs. Jones, Giffen, and Bruce all showed capital cricket. A heavy storm finally stopped play at twenty minutes past four o’clock, when the score was 226 for eight wickets. Pougher, the Leicester­ shire professional, though still a little lame from a blow on the first day, fowled with great success yesterday. He took six of the eight wickets at a cost of 62 runs. He has shown since that his performance against Surrey, at Leicester, was not such a fluke as was at first imagined, and there is everyreason to believe that he will take a prominent posi­ tion as a bowler. Mr. Garrett’s bowling for the Australians is worthy of special notice. Messrs. Bonnor and Sponorth stood out of the Australian team. A ustralians . F irst Innings. M r. S. P.
