Cricket 1889

84 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. MAR. 21, 1889. against Philadelphia and 34 at Ottawa. Still in his position as captain, he was of invaluable service to the team, and the greater share of the credit incidental to an extremely enjoyable as well as successful tour belongs beyond a doubt to him. As a batsman Mr. Cronin has deservedly a high reputation. As a bowler, his claims to distinction are less substantial. Indeed, we believe his experience on the last occasion on which he bowled in Dublin was a remarkable one. Playing for Cork County against the Leinster Club, he was put on to bowl when Leinster wanted one run to win with three wickets to fall. The issue was not long in doubt, for he decided the matter summarily, bowling an unmistakeable wide, the only ball he had. In the field he is always reliable, usually taking cover-point with marked success. In other sports, too, Mr. Cronin has a good record. In 1880 he won the mile at Beaumont College, besides running second in the quarter, and the follow­ ing year, in addition to landing both mile and quarter, was second in the hurdles and gymnastics. He also held the Racquet Championship of Dublin University for 1885 and 1886. Our portrait is from a photograph by Guy and Co., Limited, of Cork. SIXTH AUSTRALIAN TEAM AT HOME. AUSTRALIAN TEAM—v. EIGHTEEN OF QUEENSLAND. A match between Eighteen Queenslanders and the Sixth Australian Eleven was com­ menced in Brisbane on January 18th. The Brisbane Club had secured the services of two good bowlers from New South Wales—Downes and Callaway—to take part in the match. The Australian Eleven received a cordial greeting at the station on their arrival, and were formally welcomed and toasted at the Exhibition Grounds shortly before the com­ mencement of the match, which was played in the presence of about 500 people. The local team won the toss, but although the ground was in fair order, the innings closed for the small total of 84 runs, Sheridan making 29, Crane 17, and Callaway 10. The game was resumed on Saturday, Jan. 19, in the presence of between 2GOO and 3000 persons. The Australians continued their first innings, and, thanks to Worrall, who made 55 by spirited play, the total reached 125 before the last wicket fell. In their second innings the majority of the local batsmen played very indifferently, though Martin, Callaway, Downes, and Crane, by good all-round cricket, saved them from a one-innings defeat. Turner, who was in great form, took eight wickets for 61. The Australians in their second innings required 67 runs to score victory, and obtained them with the loss of three wickets.

Owing to the rain over night the wicket was in anything but good order, and the bowlers were seen to advantage. The Queenslanders’ fielding was creditable, but they showed deficiency in batting, and, with the exception of Thomas, who ran up 15 by careful play, and Sheridan, who hit out hard for 10, none made anything like a stand. The Australians remained at the wickets nearly all the second day, Jan. 23, and ran up a score of 197 for nine wickets, Blackham being unable to play in consequence of an injury sustained the previous day. The Queens­ landers commenced their second innings at five o’clock, and when the stumps were drawn had scored 65 runs fr>r the loss of ten wickets, the game thus resulting in a draw in favour of the Australian team.
