Cricket 1890

4 0 4 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. SEPT. 18, 1890. THE SEVENTHAUSTRALIANTEAM. THIRTY-EIGHTH MATCH—v. HURST PARK CLUB AND GROUND. It was certainly rather a bold venture for the management of the Hurst Park Club to open their ground for the first really impor­ tant match at such a late period of the season as the middle of September. The difficulty though was to secure the Australians at an earlier date, and as they were regarded as in­ dispensable for the purpose of the opening fixture there was no alternative. The choice of players, too, to oppose the Australians was considerably reduced by the collision with the match between North and South at Hastings, in which many of the leading cricketers were engaged. Still, considering all the circumstances, a fairly good all-round side was secured, and one as it proved quite strong enough for the purpose. The ground, we may state, is in the centre of the estate belonging to the Hurst Park Club at East Moulsey. It is close to the river and distant about a mile from Hampton Court. The situation is very pretty, and as no pains are likely to be spared by Sir Matthew Wood, the Manager of the Club, himself a good cricketer and keen all­ round sportsman, to promote good sport as well as to ensure the enjoyment of the public, those who visit Hurst Park are sure to be amply repaid for their outing. The turf, which has not long been relaid, has not yet got set sufficiently for a very great amount of wear, and it was anticipated from the first that the bowlers would be seen to greater advantage than the batsmen. Still the wicket played better on the whole than was expected, and the match produced after all a very interesting game. The Australians suffered a great loss in the absence of Feiris, who had injured his knee so badly as to be unable to play. Murdoch and Barrett, too, were neither of them able to do much for a similar reason, and the former was obliged to have Gregory to run for him each time. Mr. Fox, who captained the Hurst Park eleven, gained the advantage of first innings, but no stand was made except by Graburn, an amateur of high local reputation, and Alec Hearne for the first, and by Fox and Lockwood for the sixth wicket. The innings indeed only lasted two hours, and Fox’s 31 was far and away the best display on the side. When the Australians went in the majority were evidently a little uneasy with Mold’s bowling, and Hunter stood far away from the wicket as Blackham had done. There was little worthy of particular mention in the batting, and Mold and Davidson bowled un­ changed throughout. Going in a second time late on Thursday afternoon, Hurst Park lost two wickets for only four runs. Maurice Read and Chatterton, however, by free hitting had raised the score to 52 before play ceased. On Friday Read was soon dismissed, but Lock­ wood and Chatterton made another stand and both were out with the score at 92. The only feature of the latter part of the innings was the free cricket of Hunter, whose 36 not out, though not without luck, was still a very meritorious display. Wanting 137 to win, the Australians made a very poor start, losing Lyons and Barrett for 7 runs. Then came the best stand of the match, by Murdoch and Trott. With 70 up for only two wickets, the in-side seemed to have the match well in hand. At 73, however, Chatterton was put on to bowl, and this proved the turning point in the game. The Australian captain was caught at the wicket for 45—the highest score in the match, and one, though not entirely free from fault, still worthy of high praise. Trott was dismissed immediately afterwards at 80, and then came an entire breakdown. Walters and Burn were badly run out, and at twenty minutes to five Hurst Park had won by 34 runs, the last six wickets having only added 22 runs. Mold’s bowling record for the match shows ten wickets for 110 runs. After him Trumble and Chatterton were the most successful bowlers. The former’s eight wickets C 03t 91, the latter’ s seven 87 runs, H urst P abk C lub . First Innings. Second Innings. A. Hearne, b Charlton ... 14 c Trott, b Trumble.., ... 0 Mr. W.
