Cricket 1889

448 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. OCT. 31,1889 CEICKET IN AUSTRALIA. [F rom O ur S pecial C orrespondent .] S ept . 19 th . Cricket is once more making a start in Sydney, but we have had a terribly wet time of it for some weeks, if not months, past, and the good folk at the Observatory, our “ Fitzroys,” prophesy that we are to have an abundance of rain during the remaining half of this month. Most of the senior cricket clubs have held their annual meetings, and the secretaries are all more or less in the dolefuls, for all clubs have suffered financially. Only one match has been played up to the present time, the Sydney v. The Surry United, in other words, the strongest Senior club against a second-rate Junior. As the former won the toss, and the latter had to secure the services of two substitutes, one of whom kept wicket and snapped two good wickets “ on the fly,” as the base-ballers say, the result may be easily imagined. Donnan, an Inter­ colonial of last year, showed want of practice, but Mackenzie, one of our most rising players, shaped well for 26 before he was bowled by a curly one. Little Syd. Gregory followed hard on with 22, and P. Kelly topped them with 30. Bennett made 25, but Robinson’s score of 55, caught in the deep field, augurs well for his future career this season. During the after­ noon the Sydneys lost only eight wickets for 234 runs, Brewster making 87 not out. The Surrys will not have a chance to reply, as it was only a one day’s match. Among the good performances of last season may be mentioned that of Harry Moses, whose average was 49.8, and his highest score 105 (not out). For the same club, the Belvideres, P. C. Charlton secured his wickets at an average cost of 8.23 runs; The Association ground is in fine condition, and Ned Gregory promises some good wickets if the rain does not spoil them. He has estab­ lished a new sprinkler, which will do marvel­ lous good in dry weather. It is a hollow up­ right connected with the water supply. On the top are large horizontal arms, also hollow, and pierced with many minute holes. The force of the ascending water drives the arms round, and the water is sprinkled over an area of sixty square yards. It has already been tried with great effect. The Australian team, under Harry Boyle, is almost a certain fixture. Percy McDonnell has been appointed man­ ager of a branch bank, and has given up even club cricket; but Charlie Turner tells me that both he and Ferris are going. Moses will positively not leave Australia. Blackham will po, and probably Trott and some of the new Victorian blood, whilst Giffen willsupply the South Australian contingent. W. L. Mur­ doch is one of the certain starters. lie will play in Sydney this year, but whether he will take S art in the intercolonial remains to be seen, [is present intention is to play cricket this season here, and the next in England, and then to start as a solicitor in Sydney.
