Cricket 1888

226 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. JUNE 28, 1888. As a footballer, Mr. Woods has a distin­ guished record, having figured prominently under both rules. He represented Sussex in all the Association matches it played during 1884-85 and following season, but has latterly taken to the Rugby Union game. Last year he was prominent among the Southern forwards in the annual match against the North, and was reserve for the English team at the close of the season. Our portrait is from a photograph by Hawkins and Co., 108, King’s Road, Brighton. T H E S I X T H A U S T R A L I A N T E A M . THE FOURTEENTH MATCH—v. MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND. The Australians won the fourteenth match of their tour, begun on Thursday last at Lord’s, on Saturday morning, after a m eti exciting finish, by fourteen runs. The Mary­ lebone Club was about as strong as it well could have been, Mr. A. G. Steel, who has not appeared very much just of late years in London, taking his place in the eleven. The ground was soft from the heavy rains of the previous day, and but for mistakes in the early part of their innings, the Australians, who went in first on winning the toss, would in all probability have been dismissed for a much lesser total. As it was, McDonnell, who was missed when he had got thirteen, and Banner­ man, was let off twice at point quite at the commencement of his innings, contributed seventy of 128 made from the bat. Both bats­ men played useful cricket, the former, who was responsible for 41 out of 46 while he was in, hitting with his usual vigour. Some hard hitting by Worrall relieved the latter part of the innings, which was brought to a conclusion by Mr. A. G. Steel in summary fashion, his last nine balls being delivered for two runs and three wickets. Worrall carried out his bat for a useful twenty-seven, though he ought to have been caught at point when his score was nineteen. The Marylebone Club had to bat in a very bad light, and made a very bad start, Mr. Grace, after being let off at point, playing on when he had got four. Mr. Shuter and Barnes did fairly well, and some excellent cricket by Mr. A. G. Steel and Gunn, who made forty-five runs while they were together, improved the club’s posi­ tion materially, the score being 79 on the fall of the fourth batsman. Towards the end of the innings, however, Ferris’s bowling, helped by a very bad light, proved remarkably effeotive, and his last ten overs were delivered for fifteen runs and five wickets. The ground, owing to heavy rain over night, was in a very bad state on Friday morning, and the umpires decided that it would not be fit to resume the game until after luncheon, a decision which, as far as we can learn, was not altogether well reoeived by the Australians. W ith the wicket getting worse under the sun, Attewell and Barnes bowled with great success, and Trott, who was in an hour and fifty minutes for a remarkably fine innings of 45, and Bonnor were chief contributors to the total of 96, an excellent performance under the circum­ stances. Wanting 125 to win, M.C.C. went in a second time just after five o’clock on Friday, and began their difficult task badly, Mr. Grace being caught from the first ball. Barnes and Mr. Shuter soon followed, but Mr. Steel, who ought to have been caughtandbowled by Turner when he had made a four, and Gunn added 36, and Mr. Key and Flowers, who was missed at mid-off just before play ceased, helped to bring the score to 88 for six wickets. At seven o’clock M.C.C. wanted 246 to win with three wickets to fall, and as Mr. Steel decided not to go on, a most exciting finish was left for Saturday morning. Then things went altogether with the Australians. Flowers was out at once 1 b w to Turner, and Attewell caught at slip after making a single. Sherwin and Mr. Para­ vicini had added eight, when the latter, start­ ing for a run, slipped in turning, and was thrown out by Ferris, so that the Australians won after a singularly exciting match by four­ teen runs.

Some heavy scoring marked this, the second fixture between Yorkshire and the Australian team, begun at Bradford on Monday. Hunter was not able to keep wioket for his county, but otherwise Yorkshire was well represented, Middlebrook, a fast round-arm bowler, who came off well on his first trial against Leices­ tershire, making his debut in what are termed first-class matches. McDonnell having won the toss, the Australians went in first on a fast wicket, and wero not dismissed until they had reached the big total of 367. The chief feature of the battiDg was the brilliant hitting of Bonnor. The giant has rarely hit with greater vigour, and during his innings, which only lasted an hour and a half, he scored a hundred of his runs in twenty-five hits to the boundary. Bannerman, who was two hours and a quarter at the wickets, and Turner were also seen to advantage, the latter hitting very freely. Edwards’ defensive cricket, too, was of great use. He was batting for just under two hours and a half, during which time he contributed only 35 of 168 runs. The Yorkshiremen, who had overnight made eight without the loss of a wicket, played up well on Tuesday, and thanks chiefly to Hall and Lee, who added 111 while they were together, were not dismissed until they had made 228. Lee’s 83 was in every way a commendable display. He was at the wickets for a period of two hours and ten minutes, and there was no flaw of any kind in his play. Hall’s patience was as con­ spicuous. He was batting for just over four hours and a half for his 67. In the follow-on Yorkshire had made thirty-four for the loss of one batsman, Ulyett, when play ceased on Tuesday night. Yesterday some excellent batting was shown by the young profes­ sional Wainwright, Hall and Mr. Hirst, and though rain stopped play in the afternoon at the end of the day the Yorkshiremen had made 344 for the loss of seven wickets, Mr. Hirst carrying out his bat for a finely h it 87. At the finish, Yorkshire were 205 on with three wickets to fall—a very creditable per­ formance. In the matoh 939 runs were scored for 27 wickets. A ustralians . P. S.
