Cricket 1889

154 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME* MAY 30,1889. parture in the annals of Cricket in Cey­ lon. The departure is nothing less than a tour of a ladies’ cricket team. To judge, too, from results, the example set by the ladies of Kandy—a sweet and sug­ gestive name, by the way—will be fol­ lowed by many imitators in the island, and, indeed, it has already stimulated the sportswomen—is that termination right ? —of Kegalla to efforts of a similar char­ acter. While the latter had, however, to be content with a mixed entertainment between ladies and gentlemen, which was, from the level of real cricket, spoiled by the male actors having to walk between the wickets, the Kandy programme was a more business-like performance, con­ ducted on correct principles, so far, at least, as the cricket itself went. U nfortunately , the Ladies of Nuwara Eliya, according to the paper above- named, had only recently taken to the game, and the superior experience and skill of the other side told its tale so effectually that, though they only num­ bered ten, the Ladies of Kandy were able to win by an innings and 112 runs. Miss A. de Saram, who was the chief scorer with 48 out of 163 made by the winners, got herself just as many as the opposite eleven in their two innings from the bat. I t is interesting to know, too, that the winners met with a most enthusiastic reception, as indeed, they well deserved, on their return to Kandy. The arrival of the party at the railway station was the signal for three hearty cheers in true British fashion, and to the strains of “ See the Conquering Hero comes ” from the Public Band, the victorious ladies separated to their respective homes. T hough the season at Lord’s has just reached its fourth week, three fixtures have had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled. ’Tis true, ’tis pity, and the pity will be universal at the most recent abandonment, which means a serious, if only temporary, loss to a professional who has the good wishes of every class of cricketers. Though never what may be termed a first-class player, John West, the Yorkshireman, was, some twenty years back, by no means a bad left-handed bowler, and one excellent performance in particular I can remember, to wit, for Yorkshire against Surrey, at Sheffield, in June, 1870, when he took fiye wickets in Surrey’s first innings at a cost of only three runs. S in ce 1869, West has been on the ground staff of the Marylebone Club at Lord’s. A thoroughly good sportsman and conscientious worker, has won the respect of all with whom he has been brought into contact. Everyone will sincerely regret that the state of the ground on Monday was such as to render it advisable for the match between North and South, which had been arranged by the Marylebone Club as a reward for his long service, to be abandoned altogether, particularly as two good sides had been secured. The executive of the M.C.C., though, are so open-handed in everything which comes under their control, as no one knows better than West, that it is a moral cer­ tainty he will have another and early chance of making up for this week’s dis­ appointment. I do not think I shall be far wrong in assuming that another match will be set apart for his benefit either this or next season. CHIEF FIXTURES FOR NEXT WEEK.
