Cricket 1888

54 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. A PR IL 12 , 1888 . aionally, did not do much. By sound good cricket the score advanced to 50, when a double change of bowling took place—Jones for Turner and Ferris for Trott—and just at lunch time Ulyett was stumped for a capital 18. (Three for 61.) Briggs joined Shrewsbury after the interval, and Turner, who again took up the bowling, soon sent down one too good for Briggs. Lohmann, who followed, stayed a long time with Shrewsbury, and Trott relieved Ferris. Turner then bowled Loh­ mann with a half volley for 7—five for 96. Mr. Docker quickly made 8, when he was out leg-before to Trott. Mr. Sm ith had only just gone in when he lost Shrewsbury, who was bowled by Turner with a terrible breakneck. His 51 was a magnificent innings, the first half being made under difficulties, though after luncheon the wicket had greatly improved —seven for 113. Mr. Smith and Preston hit freely, and brought the score to 131, when the captain was caught at the wicket. Rain now delayed the game for twenty minutes. On resuming Preston h it Turner for 5—a fine drive over the fence. He also sent Trott twice in succession for 4 (splendid drives), but after a merry innings for 27 was caught at the wicket. (Nine for 152.) Pilling whipped in, and principally by the exertions of Pougher, the total reached 173, when Ferris, who had relieved Trott, clean bowled the Leicester man for 22, all well made. Ferris took 2 wickets for 21 runs, and Turner 5 for 64. Having selected a new wicket, Jones and Jarvis opened the innings for the Australian Eleven to the bowling of Briggs and Lohmann. The wicket was a good one, but three good men fell for 21 runs. Jarvis was splendidly stumped, Moses beautifully taken by Mr. Sm ith low down at slip, and Turner clean bowled by Briggs. Lyons drove Briggs straight for 4, when the stumps were drawn. Jones not out 10. The threatening state of the weather caused the attendance to be very small, not more than 1,500 being present. S econd D ay — S aturday , F e b . 25. R ain fell all night, but it cleared about ten o’clock on Saturday, and on reaching the ground it was found quite fit to play on. The players on both sides recognised one important fact, and each member of the Colonial team tried all they knew to save a follow on, whilst the Englishmen worked like demons to accomplish it, which they did, thus making the game a certainty for them. Had the Australians succeeded in getting the required 94, the English side knew full well that on such a wicket they would havebeen slaughtered like sheep by that demon, Turner, and probably by Monday. W ith only about 150 runs to win, with the wicket perhaps true and hard, the Colonials would have scored an easy win, but fate was against them, and when the last wicket fell for 75 runs all interest in the match was over. At a few minutes after twelve Lyons and Jones took their places at the wickets, Lohmann and Briggs again bowling. Lyons hit Briggs for 4, and was then out leg before. M ’Donnell, after making 7, was caught at mid-on, and Blackham, after getting 5, tried to pull a straight one, and got his leg in front. Edwards was in a long time for 4, when Lohmann bowled him. It was now luncheon-time, and seven wickets were down for 58, Jones not out 25. Only 37 runs had been made this morning so far in one hour and twenty-five minutes, Jones in that time getting 15, and his play was admirable. Burn, the Tasmanian, joined Jones after luncheon, and a few singles were made, each run being cheered by the excited spectators. At last Burn drove Lohmann for 2, and then sent him for 4, amidst tremendous applause. 21 runs were now required to save the follow on, and hope ran high in the Australian camp. The end was near, however, and things looked bad when Jones was taken at slip very low down by Lohmann. He had been in three hours for 27 runs. Burn was stumped for a capital 13, and Trott caught at the wicket, the innings closing for 75. The match was now virtually over. Jones and M ’Donnell began batting for the Australians in the second innings. A fine catch close to the fence, from a hard drive by Mr. Newham, disposed of M’Don­ nell for 2. Moses, who followed, hit Briggs to leg for four, but when the score had reached 17, Jones was caught at the wicket, and Burn had at point without any addition to the total. Blackham came in only to seeLohmann clean bowl the crack (Moses). (Four for 17.) Rain now stopped play for twenty minutes, but on resuming, Lyons was very finely caught by Pougher at long off with one hand, as well as Blackham taken at point. (Six for 19.) Jarvis and Turner were now together, and thanks to the spirited play of the N.S.W. crack bowler, a disgracefully low score was averted. Twice he drove Lohmann for 4 in one over, and this he followed up by pulling a short one to the boundary from Lohmann, subsequently hitting the same bowler clean over the fence for 5. Briggs then got Jarvis, who played on. On Edwards’ arrival Turner again drove Lohmann to the boundary, but on trying to repeat the stroke was caught by Preston at deep mid-off for a dashing 29. He was greatly cheered on retiring. (Eight for 54.) The end now came, as Edwards was caught and bowled, and Trott taken at point, the innings closing for 56. Thus the first match of the sixth Australian eleven ended in a crushing defeat by an innings and 42 runs. It is only fair to state that they had luck against them, as by putting the Englishmen in they during Friday afternoon compiled their 173 on a fairly good wicket, but on Saturday the ground was in nearly an un­ playable condition the whole time. Briggs and Lohmann bowled unchanged throughout. Briggs took eleven wickets for 58 runs, and Lohmann nine for 67, but the Surrey man was considerably handicapped by having to bowl dead against a strong wind. The batting honours of the match were, as usual, taken care of by Shrewsbury. S h r ew sb u ry ’ s T ea m . Mr. C. A. Sm ith, Jarvis, b Trotfc J. M. Preston, Jarvis, b Trott A. D.

SYDNEY JUN IORS. F irst D ay — F r id a y , M arch 2. Bad weather was associated with the open­ ing of this match at Sydney. The wind was very high, whilst the wicket had been damaged by rain, and the attendance was small. The Juniors batted first, and, thanks to a fine display of hitting by M ‘Dowall, con­ tributed 134 for twelve wickets, when opera­ tions ceased for the day. S econd D a y — S aturday , M a rch 3. Resuming, the weather had greatly im ­ proved, but the attendance was again scanty. The remainder of the Juniors gave a very tame display of batting, and the innings closed for an addition of 47. For the English­ men Lohmann and Maurice Read h it in their usual free style, and Mr. Newham and Pilling did well, but the visitors failed to reach their opponents’ total by six runs. Charlton took seven wickets for 61 runs. The score at the end of the second day was as under :— X V III. Juniors. H. Dorman, b Briggs 0 T.
