Cricket 1888

J u l y 2 , 1888 . ORICKETs A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 269 T H E S IX T H A U S T R A L IA N T E A M ' EIGHTEENTH MATCH.—v. LEICESTER­ SHIRE. The Leicestershire eleven, during the last few j^ears, have done more than one sensa­ tional performance on their own ground. Three times within six summers have they proved successful over Surrey, and once in 1886 against almost, if not quite, the full strength of the County. Even their victory over Surrey two years ago, though, hardly created the same amount of surprise, great as it was, as that which has been furnished during last week by their defeat of the Australian team at Leicester on Friday. The County ground in Aylestone Road has not latterly been much relished by batsmen, and in this case the heavy rain of the previous day made it particularly difficult after a time. The Leicestershire eleven, who, owing to illness, were without two of their most useful members, Rylott and Mr. J. A. Turner, were fortunate enough to win the toss, and thanks to the excellent cricket of Warren, whose batting has contributed in no small degree to the recent successes of the team, made, under the circumstances, a fairly good show. He was responsible for 42 out of 66 got while he was at tne wickets, and during his innings of nearly an hour and a half gave no chance. The out-cricket of the Australians, who had only arrived at Leicester at an early hour of the morning from Liverpool, had not been anything like up to their best standard, and they were not seen to better advantage when their turn came to bat. Rain only allowed an hour and ten minutes’ more play,butduring this timeeightwicketsfell for 47. Even this small total, too, might have been considerably reduced had the chances offered been taken, Bonnor and Bannerman each being let off. OnFridaythewicketagain played very badly, and the match was over by naif-past five o’clock, twenty-two wickets falling for an aggregate of 152 runs. At the end of an innings Leicestershire were 67 runs to the good, but Turner and Ferris found the ground so much to their liking when the Australians took the field a second time that no change was required, and when the tenth wicket fell the total was only 50. Though they had only 108 to win, the Australians had by no means an easy task. Still, they made such a favourable start that the game seemed to be entirely in their favour. While Bannerman and Jarvis were partners the score was 65 with only three wickets. After­ wards came a great collapse. Banner­ man was in over an hour and a half for 20 , but his successors did little, and as the re­ maining batsmen only added 24, the Leicester­ shire eleven were left with a highly creditable victory by 20 runs. This success was due in a very great measure to the bowling of Mr. Arnall-Thompson and Pougher. Except for nine overs in the second innings they were unchanged throughout the match, and their average was very much the same. Pougher took ten wickets for 71, the amateur nine wickets for 65 runs.

The Derbyshire eleven offered a very poor resistance to the two crack bowlers of the Australian team in this match, begun at Derby on Monday, and the game was over before four o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. Derbyshire having won the toss, decided to go in first on a slow wicket. Messrs. Wright an I Mosby, the latter of whom made his first appearance for Derbyshire under the resi­ dential qualification, made a fairly good start, but afterwards the batting broke down alto­ gether, and the innings was over before luncheon for the small total of 45. Except for some good play by Bannerman and Trott, who put on 56 runs for the second wicket, there was little worthy of note in the battiug of the Australians on the opening day, and play ceased with seven wickets down for 121, or 76 to the good. Edwards, who had been badly missed overnight before he had scored, and Boyle, however, gave the Derby­ shire bowlers considerable trouble on the fol­ lowing morning, and the last wicket made the best stand on the Australian side, adding 75 runs to the total. Having 86 to save the innings the Derbyshire batsmen were seen even to less advantage than on the previous day. At luncheon time four wickets were down for 21, and though Chatterton and Mr. Walker gave some slight trouble the end soon arrived, the Australians winning by an innings and 79 runs. Turner and Ferris bowled un­ changedthroughout the match, a rare achieve­ ment. The former was the more successful, taking thirteen wickets at an average cost of under four runs. Cropper’s figures on the other side deserve notice. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. L. G. Wright,b Turner 13 Mr. H. C.
