The Australian cricketers had to face another formidable combination in this, the thirty- sixth fixture of theirtour,begun at Scarborough on Thursday last. It was in fact, practically, almost the full strength of England against which they had to contend, as except that Mr. W . W. Read and Sugg were replaced by Lord Harris and Mr. C. I. Thornton, the eleven was the same as that which had a week before represented England with such signal success at Manchester. Though the weather was generally favourable on the opening day, rain during the early morning helped the bowlers not a little, and the rate of scoring was con­ sequently below the average. The Australians losing the toss had to take the field first, but Turner and Ferris proved so successful that they got all the best of the start, three wickets, those of Mr. W . G. Grace, Mr. Thornton, and Abel, being down with the total only 16. With the game certainly in favour of the Austra­ lians, Gunn came in to face Barnes, and the two Nottingham professionals fully upheld their reputation by a most creditable display of cricket. Barnes had just before Gunn’s arrival given a hard chance to point, but during the partnership neither of the pair made a mistake of any kind, and their stand, which resulted in an addition of 72 runs to the score, materially assisted in influencing the result of the game. After the dismissal of these two batsmen, who were both caught at 88 , the best cricket was shown by Briggs, who made 23 of the last 47 runs, without a fault of any kind. The Australians had just an hour left for batting on the first day, and in this time scored 53 for the loss of their captain, Bannerman being not out 16, and Trott not out 19. So far there was nothing much in the state of the game to favour either side, but on the second day the out cricket of the English­ men was of such an excellent character that the play went altogether against the Aus­ tralians. Rain prevented a resumption until past one o’clock, and Bonnor, who was fourth on the Australian order of going in, lent such useful assistance that at one time the score was 90 with only two batsmen out. Just when the Englishmen seemed to be getting the worst of the game, however, came an extraordinary change. Peel and Briggs bowled with such remarkable success that the next five wickets all fell without another run, and of the remaining batsmen, Worrall (5) and Ferris (1 not out) alone scored, the last wickets only adding six runs in all. The bowlers who effected this remarkable collapse were, as already stated, Briggs and Peel, and the former had wonderful figures, his six wickets only costing 18 runs. The English eleven, who had in a very short time by some fine all-round cricket worked a complete re­ volution in the aspect of the game, had thus a useful lead of 67 runs when they went in a second time,and they succeeded in maintaining their advantage until the finish. Though the ground helped the ball, and Turner has rarely if ever bowled better, the English team gave an excellent display of batting, and in the two hours and a quarter that remained scored 135 runs for nine wickets, a really excellent performance. The chief credit of this achievement rested with Mr. Grace and Gunn. The former made 35 of the first 68 runs, and there was nothing like a flaw to mar a thoroughly well-played innings. Gunn was again seen to advantage ,1 and his 21 was a worthy accompaniment to his creditable score on th 6 previous day. Peel and Pilling added 10 runs on Saturday morning for the last wicket, bringing the second total of the English team to 145. Turner’s bowling was the great feature of the innings. He kept up one end unchanged, and, as will be seen, eight of the ten wickets fell to his right arm. The chances of the Australians when they entered on their second innings, with a heavy sum of 213 to win, and with the ground all against the batsmen, were not at all hopeful. A very short time, too, sufficed to make their defeat a certainty, and with Bannerman, Trott, McDonnell and Jones all out, with the total only 12, the result was assured. Bonnor gave some little trouble, but none of the rest could do anything against the splendid bowlinjr of Briggs, supported as it was by close and indeed brilliant all-round fielding. In an hour and twenty minutes the whole side were out for the small total of 57, and the Australians accordingly had to put up with another decisive defeat, being at the finish in a minority of 153 runs. The English victory would not have been so complete but for the splendid bowling of Briggs in each innings of the Australians. On the third day he bowled seventy-nine balls for 22 runs and seven wickets, and in the match altogether, forty- five overs for 40 runs and thirteen wickets. No better performance has been recorded this year, and it is not too much to say that to his bowling the success of the English eleven was mainly attributable. Continued on page 410. i
