194 CR ICKET : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME . JUNE 19. 1890. THE SEVENTH [AUSTRALIAN TEAM. ELEVENTH MATCH—v. NOTTS. The Nottinghamshire eleven, winning the toss, made snoh good use of their opportuni­ ties at Nottingham, on Thursday, that the Australians, with all the worst of the wioket, were never able to get on anything like even terms. Though a little slow at the outset the wicket played fairly well, and the earlier bats­ men of Notts showed to such advantage that in just four hours 194 runs were scored, with only four batsmen out. The honours of this excellent performance rested chiefly with Shrewsbury and Gunn, who put on 81 runs for the second wioket. Shrewsbury, who was batting for nearly three hours and a half, gave a hard chance when he had made 30, but Gunn’s 43, whioh occupied him just under two hours, was without a flaw. Heavy rain on Thursday night caused the game to be alto­ gether in favour of the bowlers on the follow­ ing day, so much so that twenty-two wickets fell for an aggregate of 159 runs. When play was resumed, Turner and Ferris soon finished off the Nottingham innings, the last six Wickets only adding 21 runs. The Australians, too, fared badly when it came to their turn to bat, and the bowling of Attewell and Shack­ lock was so effective that it looked as if they would be out for a very small total. As it was, four batsmen went out after luncheon with the score at 28, and when the seventh wioket fell the total was only 31, of which Trott’s share was 13. A plucky stand, however, by Ferris, who hit well for his 22, improved the Australians’ position, ana before the innings dosed the score was raised to 62. This is the smallest total for whioh the Australians have as yet been dismissed, and it was entirely due to the good bowling of Attewell and Shaoklock, who were un­ changed. Following on 1§3 to the bad, the Australians fared a little better, and at the end of the seoond day they had scored 76, though at the expense of six of their best batsmen. Their prospects, when the game was resumed on Saturday, were almost hope­ less, and though Turner hit well, and Gregory and Walters played with great care, in an hour and a half the matea was over, Notts winning with 25 runs and an innings to spare. Gregory was in at one time for fifty minutes without scoring. Mention has been made of the bowling of Attewell and Shacklock, and the former kept a wonderful length, especially in the second innings, as his figures will show. In the match he took eight wickets for an average of just over 5 runs. A u s t r a l ia n s . N o tts . Shrewsbury, c Black­ ham, b Lyons ... 61 F.

With 172 to win, the Australian8 began their second innings soon after twelve o’clock yesterday. The bowlers were able to get a lot of work on to the ball, but at the same time the batting was lacking in spirit. Blackham played with the same con­ fidence as in the first innings, but Lyons alone of the rest got double figures, and before lunch the South had won by 97 runs. Martin and Lohmann bowled unchanged, and both made full use of the wicket. The former in the match took ten wickets for 84, the latter eight for 63 runs. S outh op E n gland . First Innings.

The South of England had up to this year been unable to claim a victory over an Aus­ tralian team. The spell was broken, though, at the Oval this week, and their success—as with Kent and Middlesex engaged, the team was not thoroughly representative—was all the more creditable. Though Kent was play­ ing Warwickshire, the committee kindly allowed Martin to assist the South, and his bowling, as will be seen, did muoh to influence the result. The Australian captain was suc­ cessful in winning the toss, ana, as the wicket was soft and looked like getting better if the weather held up, he decided to send the South in. The experiment involved no small risk, and had the fielding been up to the best standard the innings would probably not have been of long duration. A 8 it was, Messrs. W. G. Grace and Read were the only batsmen able to play Messrs. Turner and Ferris with any confidence, and they were responsible for 139 out of 155 from the bat. Mr. Grace gave more than one chance in his 49, but Mr. Read made no mistake until his score was 80, when he was missed in the long field. He has not for a long time been seen to such advantage, and he hit with judgment as well as freedom, punishing Mr. Ferris with special severity. Mr. Murdoch, owing to a severe blow while fielding, was unable to take his usual place in the order of going in. Before the end of the first day seven Australian wickets had fallen for the small-'aggregate of [53, so that there seemed no small ohance of a follow-on. As it was, the wicket early on Tuesday was wet after the morning rain, and Messrs. Blackham and Walters took the total from 58 to 111, saving the follow -on long before they were separated. Mr. Blackham was the first bats­ man to play Martin and Lohmann with any pluck. He scored just one half of the A us­ tralians’ total from the bat, and his 56 was a most valuable innings without a mistake. W ood was in great form behind tbe wicket. H e caught three besides stumping one bats­ man, and only let one extra—a leg-bye. T he weather on Tuesday was very disagree­ able, and rain, which had threatened during the forenoon, put an end to the game soon after five o’clock, j Meanwhile, the South, going in a second time in a m ajority of 50 runs, had scored 113 for the loss of eight batsmen. Tbe wicket was very tricky, and the total would have been very much smaller liad not the Australian fielding been very faulty. Mr. Grace was again the top scorer, but luck helped him considerably, as in the first innings, and he was missed three times, two of the lives from easy catches.

Mr. Twemlow and Marlow did an extraor­ dinary performance in this match, played at Stoke on Friday and Saturday, They added 288 runs for the fourth wicket of Stafford­ shire, and the innings was closed on Saturday morning with the amateur’s dismissal. North- ants had to get 213 runs when they went in a second time to avoid an innings’ defeat, and, as they were all out for 181, were beaten by an innings and 32_runs.
