Cricket 1888

322 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 9, 1888 Ground, on the occasion of the first visit of an Australian team to L ord’s in 1878. Colonial cricketers themselves have been the first, it must be admitted, to ow n that the style of their best batsmen has been fashioned after the m odel of some of the m ore graceful ex ­ ponents of the art of batting who visited A us­ tralia with the earlier English teams. W e have ourselves heard Caffyn m ore than once cited, and m ost gratefully, by Australian cricketers as the master who founded the best school of Australian batsmen, and the Australians have certainly always been ready to own the value of the lessons they have received from their E nglish teachers. Of late years, though, the principal English and Australian cricketers have becom e so well known in both hem ispheres that the novelty which used to furnish the chief attraction of the trips has, in a great measure, worn off. The presence of two English teams in the Colonies last winter, especially in the evident depression of cricket interest in V ictoria at least, tended to increase rather than diminish the grow ing feeling that neither English nor Australian cricket derived any material benefit from these too frequent interchange of visits. As a m atter of fact, Lilly white’s and Mr. V er­ non’s teams were, financially, unsuccessful,the former, who had the run of N ew South Wales, the colony in which cricket is just now the best supported, less so than the other com ­ bination, which brought a heavy loss to the Melbourne Club. Still, in each case the cricket shown was of a high quality, and each upheld thoroughly the reputation of English cricketers. Full particulars of Mr. V ernon’s team were given with the group w hich ap­ peared in C r ick et of April 26, and it may with confidence be added that the eleven which Mr. C . A . Sm ith comm anded in the rival interest was entitled to as honourable a record. The thirteen players consisted of the fol­ low ing :— Mr. C. A . Sm ith (Sussex), capt., Mr. G. Brann (Sussex), Mr. L. C. Docker (W arw ick­ shire), Mr. W . Newham (Sussex), J. Briggs (Leicestershire), G. A. Lohm ann (Surrey), R . Pilling (Lancashire), A . D. Pougher (Leicester­ shire), J. M . Preston (Yorkshire), J. M. Read (Surrey), A . Shrewsbury (Notts), and James Lillyw hite, manager. Altogether the records, collective as well as individual, of the team were very satisfactory. A rthur Shrewsbury was, of course, far and away the best batsman, and in thirty com ­ pleted innings he had an aggregate of 1,116 runs, or an average of 37.6. H is highest score was 232 against V ictoria at Melbourne, and he was alpo credited with another innings of over ‘200, one of 206 against the Melbourne Club Australian team, a masterly display of batting without a chance. U lyett, though he did not re t a hundred on any occasion, played several dashing innings, and had an average of over twenty-five runs. Maurice Read and Briggs, too, generally scored well, and both were able to claim averages of over tw enty. Mr. N ow ­ ham, though not quite at his best, more than once played fine cricket, and on difficult wickets, and Mr. D ocker cam e out fairly well in all matches. Briggs, Lohm ann, Mr. Smith, Pre6ton and Pougher bore the brunt of the bowling, and in this department the team was particularly strong, T he tw o first named both got over 200 wickets, and though Briggs took m ost wickets during the tour, Lohm ann’s figures were the best of all in eleven-a-side matches. In fixtures against odds Mr. Smith, Pougher and ^reston, too, proved very effective. M r Sm ith’s fig/ires were remarkable, showing 1,484 balls for 103 rung and 8(J wickets, or an average of just over three runs. A ltogether the out-cricket was very m uch above the average, aud the fielding, in particular was brilliant. Mr. Smith fulfilled the arduous position of captain with great skill. He made him self very popular off ati well ad on t.he crioket field, and the suoccss of the team, from a social point of viewi was in a great measure due to his taot and judgment on all occasions.
