118 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. MAY 15, 1890. S E C O N D M A T C H — v. W A R W IC K S H IR E . T h e w ick et h ad been so m u ch affected by th e rain o f th e previous day th at th e bow lers had th in gs all th eir ow n w ay in th is m atch, begun at B irm in gh am on M on day, and the gam e w as finished in tw o days. H . C. M aul w as unable to help W arw ick sh ire, b u t oth er­ w ise th e C ou n ty w as w ell represented. T h e A u stralians, w ho left ou t C harlton an d B urn, again h ad the ch oice o f innings, and decided to get first use o f th e w icket. T h ey fou n d the w ick et, how ever, a n yth in g but easy, and P a llett an d Sh ilton bow led w ith such success, p articu larly th e form er, that at lun ch eon tim e th e score w as o n ly 61 w ith seven bats­ m en out. O n the resum ption G regory played w ell, and his 18 n ot ou t w as the best display o f b attin g on the side. T h e in n in gs events u a lly ended fo r 89, th e result o f tw o h ou rs and tw en ty m in utes’ play. P a llett’s bow lin g was rem arkably effective. H e got seven o f the best A u stralian batsm en, and six o f th em , in ­ clu d in g th e C aptain, w ere clean bow led. W arw ick sh ire m ade a w orse show w h en th eir tu rn cam e to bat, and in an h ou r and three quarters T u rn er and F erris dism issed the w h ole side fo r an aggregate o f 33 from the bat, o f w h ich 23 w ere con tribu ted b y M r. B ainbridge and Law . T h e w eather was brigh t an d ch eerfu l on th e second day, bu t th e w icket w as still v e ry difficult an d the gam e w as all in favou r of the A u stralians. L y o n s and Jones m ade a good start, pu ttin g on 50 runs for the first w icket. T h e form er h it w ith great freedom fo r his 34, and h is innings w as, under th e circum stances, a very good one. L a ter on, too, T u rn er and W alters stayed togeth er for som e tim e, and a useful stand by G regory and F erris enabled th e A ustralians to reach a very creditable total o f 132. Pallett, Shilton, and C ressw ell all had g o o d b ow lin g figures, and th e analysis o f th e last nam ed was especially noticeable. W arw ick sh ire at the close had 184 to w in, b u t th is w as quite b eyon d th eir pow ers, and som e free h ittin g by D ock er w as indeed th e on ly feature o f the innings. T u rn er an d F erris w ere again u n ­ changed, and both h ad rem arkable figures. T h e form er’s, though, w ere th e better, and his tw elve w ickets w ere got at a cost o f on ly 34 runs. In the m atch P allett took eleven A u s­ tralian w ickets for 92 runs. T h e A u stralians w en b y 132 runs.
