Cricket 1887

SEPT. 15, 1887 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. XII. PLAYERS OF SOUTH v. XXI. GEN­ TLEMEN OF SURREY. Some fairly good crioket was shown in this annual match, played for the benefit of the ground bowlers at Kennington Oval, on Mon­ day and Tuesday last. The Twenty-one, who went in first, made a poor show against the bowling of Harris and Smith, and were all dismissed for 125, of which twenty-nine were byes, and twoleg-byes. Harris, a slow bowler with plenty of break, was very successful with the ball. He took nine wickets in twenty-one overs at a cost of only thirty runs. The Players, in their turn, made even a worse show with the bat, and Mr. C. L. Morgan, of the Streatham Club, who was credited with eight wickets for 44 runs, bowled with such effect that Wood and Wood-Sims were the only batsmen able to get double figures. In their second innings the Amateurs were seen to greater advantage, and though West’s bowling was very successful, when play ceased the score was 231 with only sixteen wickets down. Of this number Messrs. Ratcliffe and Bryant made 110, or more than one half of the total got from tha bat. At the finish the Twenty-one were 272 runs on with four wickets to go down. E.

Brumfitt and Kirby, of Ilkley, near Leeds, have recently published under the above title a work which can not fail to be of great value a3 well as interest to cricketers, both in Great and Greater Britain. The book, which consists of nearly tbree hundred closely printed pages, is what it purports to be, a com­ plete record of the eleven-a-side matches in which English and Australian cricketers have met since New South Wales first ventured to try conclusions with the English professionals, captained by James Lillywhite, at Sydney on Jan. 16 and 17,1877. During this decade one hundred and seventy-six eleven a-sidematches have been played between Eglish and Aus­ tralian elevens, and in every case the full score, with except in a few comparatively unimportant instances the complete bowling analysis, will be found duly recorded. The intimate relations between the cricketers of England and Australia have done much to benefit cricket generally, and Messrs. Brum­ fitt and Kirby deserve the hearty thanks of all who take interest in the development of our national game for the labourandtimethey must have expended in producing such an exhaus­ tive summary of one of the most important eras in the history of the sport. In addition to the full scores and bowling analysis of the series of matches, amounting, as we have already said, to as many as one hundred and seventy-six, the compilers have appended tabulated results of the tour of every English team in Australia and Australian team in England, with the averages of the individual members comprising those teams. In the case of the former, too, are given the complete averages of all the Australian players opposed to them, as well as the averages of the chief English players on the occasion of the various visits of Australian cricketers in England. In addition, comparative tables showing the con­ stitution of the nine English teams which have so far visited Australia, and the five Australian teams which have toured in this country, are furnished, showing at a glance the players who have figured in these inter­ national contests since H. H. Stephenson first personally conducted a team of English professionals to the Colonies, under the auspices of the now world-renowned caterers, Messrs. Spiers and Pond, in 1862. As an illus­ tration of the completeness which marks the work, we give the tables showing the averages of the chief English batsmen and bowlers who have opposed Australian cricketers in all first-class matches played in England since the advent of the first Australian team in 1878.
