Cricket 1888

A P R IL 26,1888. CRIOKET ; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 98 THE PARSEE CRICKETERS. The Parsee cricketers, who are to leave Bombay on the seventh- of May to fulfil their engagements during this summer in England, played their first’ trial match on the Gym­ khana ground at Bombay on March 29. Their opponents were an eleven selected from the Royal Artillery and the 61st Regiment, and the interest in the game was shown by a large attendance of spectators. The Parsee captain, Mr. P. D. Kanga, having won the toss, sent the opposing team to field. Pavri and Kanga faced the bowling of Rourke and Williamson. The pair made a capital stand for nearly forty minutes, and it was not until the score had reached nearly half a century, by some capital cricket, that Williamson was relieved by- Wiffin, who sccceeded in taking Kanga’s wicket (1 for 46). Dubash, the crack bat of the Parsees, filled the vacancy, but unfor­ tunately succumbed to the bowling of Wiffin, after contributing only 7 (2 for 58). Gagrat and Pavri carried the score up to 99, when Pavri was bowled by Rourke (3 for 99). :Of the 44 which he contributed 8 hits went to the boundary for three each, and there were 2 twos and 16 singles. Morenas, who handled his bat after a very long time, and who was rather out of form, joined Gagrat, but was soon caught by Lieut. Locke (4 for 104>. Gagrat was next bowled by Williamson having made thirty-three including five hits to the boundary. Mehta joined Jijibhoy, and both played steadily and carefully for nearly three-quarters of an hour, raising the score to 145, when the play was stopped for tiffin at a quarter past one. A t half-past two the play was resumed, and when the score had reached 164, Jijibhoy was cleverly stumped by Pinnock for a careful score of 31 (6 for 164). Mehta was eventually well caught by Rourke at long field, having got 32 runs. The innings -closed for 202 runs. After an interval of 10 minutes, the English captain sent in Rourke and Pin­ nock to face the bowling of Kanga and Pavri. Pavri and Pundole, though, proved so success­ ful with the ball that only two batsmen got double figures, and the tenth wicket fell for 68, leaving the Parsees the winners by 134 runs. Wiffin took five Parsee wickets for 28 runs. The fielding of the Parsees was creditable. Kanga, Bapasola, and Gagrat deserving special mention. P a r s e e T e a m . M. E . Pavri, b Rourke 44 P. D.

The Sydney Mail gives the following details of the matches in which New South Wales players appeared during the Austra­ lian season just over:— • 1 1. November 11 and 12. Played first match with Shaw’s team. New South Wales won by 10 wickets and 2 runs. : 2. November 25 to 30. Played first match with Mr. Vernon’s team. New South Wales ^on by 9 wickets and 2 runs. 3. December 9, 10, and 12. Played return match with Shaw’s team. Englishmen won by 10 wickets and 4 runs, i 4. December 24, 26, and 27. Played inter­ colonial match against Victoria in Melbourne. New South Wales won by 2 wickets and 1 run. 5. January 13, 14, 16, and 17. Played third match with Shaw’s team. New South Wales won by 153 runs. 6. January 26, 27, 28, 30, and 31. Played Second intercolonial match of season against Victoria in Sydney. New South Wales won by an innings and 35 runs. 7. February 3, 4, 6, and 7. Played with Vic­ toria against Shaw’s team, as aoombined team of the two colonies. The colonial Eleven con­ tained eight New South Wales and three Vic­ torian players, and was a very weak one. The Englishmen won by five wickets and 1 run. 8. February 10, 14, and 15. .Played in con­ junction with Victoria, as an All-Australian Eleven, against combined eleven of the two English teams. The Australian team con­ sisted of eight New South Wales and three Victorian players, and was not even represen­ tative of the full strength of the two colonies. Some of the leading oolonial players, including Bruce and G. Giffen, did not take part in it. The Englishmen won by 126 runs. 9. February 17, 18,20; and~21.- Played re­ turn match with Mr. Vernon’s team. English­ men won by eight wickets and 1 run. Scores : New South Wales 193 and 252 (M‘Donnell, 56). Mr. Vernon’s team, 337 and 2 wickets for 109 (Mr. W . W. Read, 119). 10. February 24 and 25. On these dates a team of colonial players, called the Sixth Aus­ tralian Eleven, played a match with Shaw’s team, and the Englishmen won by an innings and 42 runs. The Australian Eleven was an utterly non-representative one, G. Giffen and Bruce not taking part in it. M ‘Donnell won the toss and sent the Englishmen inj their in­ nings closing for 173 runs. The Australians, who had to bat on a bad wicket, made 75, and being 98 behind were compelled to follow on, their second innings being only 56. The total of both innings was thus 131, so that the Englishmen won with the above-mentioned margin. 11. March 2,3, and 5. The Sixth Australian Eleven played a match in Melbourne with Mr. Vernon’s team, the Englishmen ..winning by 87 runs. 12. March 9, 10, 12, and 13. The Sixth Australian Eleven played a return match with Shaw’s team, and were defeated by 158 runs. This was a fair test match played on a good wicket and in fine weather. The Englishmen made 212 and 402 (Shrewsbury 206), and the Australians 190 ana 266 (Jones 134 not out). Of the above 12 matches, seven were con­ tested by New South Wales representatives, unassisted by players from other colonies, and of the seven five were won, the two defeats sustained being in the return matches between New South Wales and each of the English teams. The five matches in which New South Wales players were assisted by those of other colonies were all lost. “ I n t e r -U n iv e r s it y R e c o r d s .” —F ull particu- of all Competitions in Athletics, Bicycling, Bil­ liards, Chess, Cricket, Cross Country, Law n Tennis, Polo, Racquets, Rifle Contests, Rowing, and Tennis, between Oxford and Cambridge, from 1827 to 1887.
