Cricket 1889

JAN. 24, 1889. CBICKET: A WEEKLY BECORD OF THE GAME. 15 latter got nearly all his wickets playing against odds in the provinces. "Why, Turner would have bowled such men out like nine­ pins. Disappointed with Lyons ? Yes, indeed, we were. At first he could not under­ stand the wickets and light at all, and for one- third of the matches was quite useless. At last, however, he got his eye in, and justified his inclusion in the team. Jarvis was as good as ever behind the wickets. Blackham is his p3er, but your man is better than P il­ ling, Sherwin, and other English stumpers. In the last match of the tour against Surrey, when we tried so hard to win, he was in marvellous form. “ Socially and financially the team has been a thorough success. We only have to regret the unfortunate illness of Sam Jones, who in form—and he was in rare form at the time— was our best batsman. He was stricken down with smallpox at Nottingham, and for a fortnight we were terribly anxious. No thirteen men ever passed a more trying fort­ night. We expected at any moment to hear that poor Jones was dead. But good nursing pulled him round. He played again, but was never thoroughly strong while in England. The trip home set him up, and he is now quite well. The only change in him is the unfortu­ nate marking of the face by the disease, which nearly claimed him as a victim.” Is it true that Turner slept in the same bed as Jones on the night before the disease made its appearance ? “ No, certainly not. Turner was a long way away. Trott, however, slept in the same room, and I was in there for some time attending to the sufferer. We both had to be vaccinated. Yes ; wre had to keep the nature of the disease very quiet. You know if it had become known we should all have been quarantined. Still we bluffed well, and fortunately the disease attacked no one but Jones.” Has there been any dissension amongst the men ? “ Emphatically no. Throughout everything went smoothly, and I never heard of the slightest trouble between the players. From start to finish they were united with the one object of doin<rbetter than their friendspre- dicted. Taken altogether the trip was exceed­ ingly jolly. The English people did all they could to make us comfortable, and we had remarkably few hitches on the field. The continuous rain somewhat damped our ardour. The weather prejudiced our play simply because McDonnell lost the toss so often. That meant usually that the side which wentin first gained an immense advantage. We would have won more matches and taken more money had Giffen and Moses been with us. Still we are satisfied. I would just like to add that our umpires, Farrands and Thoms, gave complete satisfaction to every member of the team. Also that Bonnor remained behind in England, where he is likely to stay for about twelve months. Is another team 'ikely to go in two years? ‘ ‘ Well, I am not sure, but I think it is more than likely. English people want them before four years hence. A strong team throughly repre­ sentative of Australian cricket would meet with a good reception, British fair play, and financial success.” O n Dec. 7 II. Trott was presented with a marble clock and side ornaments in apprecia­ tion of his excellent all round play in England. The presentation w'as made during the course of the match between the Australian Eleven and Victoria, at Melbourne, by the President of the South Melbourne Club on behalf of Trott’s numerous friends in Melbourne. A dinner was given by the Mayor of Fitzroy, at Fitzroy, on Dec. 10, to welcome J. Worrall of the Australian team back to Australia. Mr. E. B. M anning has been appointed secretary of the East Melbourne Club, in suc­ cession to G. E. Palmer. Mr. C. E. G reen has accepted the Master­ ship of the Essex Hunt. BECKENHAM CLUB.
