Cricket 1889

20 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. FEB. 21, 1889. played in his old style, and it is needless to say Sydney’s favourite received a tremendous “ ovation ”—that’s the proper word now-a- days, I think. The total was only 254, a result largely due to very good fielding, especially on the part of Hiddilstone and Callaway. Being 83 in arrears, a follow-on was necessitated, and Bannerman and Trott opened the ball. Both played in grand form. “ The rat” ought to have been run out, and once Trott hit a ball that would have gone through point if it had hit him fairly. But the runs came in dozens ; the 83 were quickly left behind, and, when the last day opened,the Eleven had a substantial score to the good. Bannerman was caught at forward cover, Turner behind the wicket, Jones was bowled in trying to pull a straight one, Edwards kept up his reputation by being bowled after an hour’s play for one. McDonnell was easily caught on the fence, and then Lyons followed. His play seemed weak at first, but he warmed up himself, and did the same for the bowling. About ten minutes from time, having lost Trott, who was caught at point for 172, as also Worrall who made 27, and having been joined by Ferris, lie wanted 10 runs to complete his Century. He hit everywhere, and, although the umpire called “ one short,” he finished his hundred five minutes before time, and was then bowled by hitting across a straight ball. Blackham played out time, nine wickets being down for 472, and the match drawn. Thus 1,068 runs were scored in three days of four and three-quarter hours each, not counting the intervals between the innings. The atten­ dance was shamefully small, but it was certainly the best match we have seen here this season. N ew S outh W ales . Cowper, c Blackham, j b Turner................11 : C.

Some of the members of the Australian Eleven then went south to play in this match, and it was expected that South Australia would give their rivals a “ doing.” Probably expectations would have been realised, but for an unfortunate termination to the match, which I will presently mention. Victoria went in first, but were dismissed for 181, of which the new colt, Drysdale, whom I have previously mentioned, made 52 in good style, aided by Lewis with 42. It speaks much for the South Australian wicket-keeper, Mc­ Kenzie, that only one extra was recorded. Aided by a magnificent 135 from George Giffen, South Australia made 270, but beyond 48 by a colt, Readman, no other score reached 20. In their second essay, Victoria, with 53 from Tommy Horan, made 192, and then, time being short, it was arranged that play should be continued as long as it was possible to see. South Australia went in to force the pace, but made such a hash of it that they lost five wickets for 56 runs, and then Victoria agreed to play it out—as well they might. Next day the scoring was better, but Victoria won a victory which certainly would not have fallen to them had the match been played out within regular hours and under ordinary^cir­ cumstances.

Victoria sent a weak team to Sydney, the home players being fairly good, including Donnan and Searle, who had jilayed against the Australian Eleven. Victoria won the toss, but the wickets fell so quickly that the N.S.W. bowlers sent down any amount of “ soft stuff,” for the batsmen to hit. Despite this kindness the Victorian men only scored 64. N.S.W* was jubilant, “ We shall make 300,” said some excitable spirits; but they reckoned without their hosts, as a bowler named Taylor played havoc, on one occasion accomplishing the “ hat trick.” O’Brien, Chalmers, and Alderson did service, and 11Lwas the total. Then Victoria showed our men that their first innings was a fluke, and rattled up 188, of which Hatch made 51, and Taylor 33. This left N.S.W. 146 to win, and Taylor being off the spot altogether, the runs were made for a loss of four wickets. R ailway M atch .— V ictoria v . N.S.W. This was a runaway affair altogether. Aided by 45 from Grubb, a veteran player, Victoria made 117, but the New South Wales team having two or three good men, replied with 237, of which Poole made 63 while nine of the eleven got double figures. Victoria’s second innings was a procession; 16 was the total and 3 the highest individual score. Poole took five wickets for 4 runs, and Woods three for 5 runs, and thus New South Wales scored an easy victory. V .cto ria v. Tasmania. Having routed South Australia, Victoria met Tasmania with good heart and a bad wicket. Victoria having first innings had the best of it, and put up 230 runs, Trott and Over making 38 each, and Morris 48. For Tasmania, W. Savigney got 23, but no one else scored double figures, and 6/ was the total. In their second essay, Rock made 102 in fine style, with only one possible chance at 75, and W. Savigney scoring 35, the innings closed for 195. This left the Victorians 33 to make, which they did for the loss of one bats­ man, Trott, who was responsible for 24. In the first innings of Tasmania, Trott took four wickets for 20, and Worrall the same number for 25. V ictoria . First Innings, b W.Over, c and b W. Savigney .........38 JMorris, c J., b W.
