Cricket 1890

“ Together joined in cricket’s manly toil.”— Byron, No. 249. VOL. IX . Registered for Transmission Abroad, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1890. PRICE THE SEVENTH AUSTRALIAN TEAM. TWENTY-FIFTH MATCH. — v. LYRIC CLUB ELEVEN. Though Briggs hadnot recovered sufficiently from his recent accident to enable him to play, the eleven collected by the Lyrio Club to oppose the Australians on their ground at Barnes on Thursday last was a powerful com­ bination. No less than six of them had represented England against Australia at Lord’s, while a seventh, Mr. Stoddart, had, though invited, been unable to take part in that contest. No pains had been spared by Mr. R. C. Welch, the hon. sec. of the Lyric C. C., to make the match, the first fixture of any importance at St. Ann’s, a success, and the arrangements were excellent in every way. The ground, which had been relaid during the winter, though, bumped a good deal at times, and the fast bowling frequently got up very dangerously. Mr. Thornton, winning the toss, naturally took the innings, but Turner and Ferris, who were unchanged, bowled with such effect that the highest score on the side was Lohmann’s 22, and in less than two hours the innings was over for a small total of 106. Peel and Mold com­ menced the Lyric bowling, but Turner was in as good form with the bat as he had been with the ball, and Barrett, who was in an hour and three quarters, and he looked like running up a long score. Still, though they put on 57 runs, Lohmann, when he came on, got three wickets quickly, and at the end of the first day the Australians were 33 runs on with two wickets to fall. The innings was quickly finished on Friday morning for an addition of only 18 runs, so that after all the English eleven were only 48 behind when they went in a second time. Lohm ann’s bowling was very effective, as his figures will show. Indeed, he took the last six wickets at a cost of only 23 runs. The batting on Friday presented a remarkable contrast to that of the previous day. Mr. Stoddart, who went in first, set his side an excellent example with a brilliant score of 42, and Ulyett and Mr. O’Brien subsequently were seen to great advantage. Ulyett, while playing with great judgment, never lost a chance of making a run, and his 70, which occupied him just under two hours and a half, was a very fine display of cricket. Mr. O’Brien’s batting, too, was worthy of his reputation. He scored 87 out of 141 while he was at the wickets in an hour and forty minutes, and his resolute all-round hitting was thoroughly appreciated by the spectators. Mr. O’Brien, Ulyett, and Mr. Stoddart, it will be seen, were responsible for 199 out. of 259 got from the bat. On Saturday,- the Aus­ tralians went in for the fourth innings with 231 runs to win, and this task proved to be quite beyond their powers. Mold bumped dangerously at times, and no one but Barrett stood up to him with any confidence. Trott gave the Doctor useful help for a time, but the latter’s was the only noteworthy feature of the innings. He had a life at ^oint when he made 6, but this was his only mistake, and he once more saw the side out, having been in during the whole of the innings, which lasted two hours and thirty-five minutes. The Australians were thus beaten by 96 runs. This result was in a great measure due to the fine bowling of Mold, who did a fine performance, taking nine of the ten wickets in the Aus­ tralians’ second innings at a cost of but 43 runs.
