Cricket 1892

JAN. 28, 1892 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; 15 various clubs of Melbourne and suburbs will fill up nearly the whole of the month of January. But to return to Bowral. As a set-on against England playing twelve men the home team were allowed to play twenty-four. The local captain, on winning the toss, sent his visitors in to bat, and on a wicket which, being bumpy, favoured the bowlers, the innings realised 156 runs, including 18 extras. W . G. headed the list with 46 made by good cricket all round the wicket, and Attewell, who carried out his bat for 32, was applauded for a capital exhibition of vigorous play. Rad- cliffe was run out after hitting well for 23,and Lohmann’s 16 was the only other double figure contributor. Bean, who has so far been singularly unsuccessful with the bat, was on this occasion run out after making only 5, but as he becomes more accustomed to the strong, bright light he will certainly be seen to greater advantage, perhaps in some of the representative matches, which would more than compensate for all failures up to date. At the close of the first day’s play Bowral had lost 12 wickets for 49, and on Wednesday the innings closed for 77, the follow-on thus being saved by one run. Harrigan and Fleeton hit up a dozen each, but the others went down in rapid succession before Briggs (12 for 46) and Attewell (8 for 29.) Through Bowral having just saved the follow-on, there was a possibility of the Englishmen being robbed of a victory, but when 7 wickets had fallen for 64 runs (hit up rapidly), Grace declared the innings closed, setting the local men 144 to make to win. They were, however, again quickly disposed of, the total only reaching 76 (of which Wallace made 22), and England won by 57 runs. Briggs was again very destructive, securing 12 wickets for 41, Lohmann took 8 for 22, and Peel 3 for 1. Sharpe stood out of this match. On the second day the weather was intensely hot, with a most disagreeable wind blowing. B owral . First Innings. F. Cope, c Gracc, b Briggs 9 Second Innings. c Attewell, b Lohniann ... 1 W.

F r id a y an d S a tu r d a y , D e c e m b e r 18 a n d 19. The last town in New South Wales to be visited was Goulburn, which is situated 134 miles from Sydney, on the line of railway which leads to Melbourne via Albury. Goul­ burn is the principal depot for the southern inland trade of New South Wales, and is also the centre of a fine agricultural district. The township has been greatly improved during the last few years by the erection of numerous public buildings of very fine appearance, in­ cluding the new railway-station and hospital. The largest and best is, however, the gaol, which cost £72,000. There are also five fine banks, and several factories, tanneries, flour mills, and breweries. After the customary festivities, which marked the arrival of the visitors, had been attended to, the match com­ menced on Monday morning, Doneghue, the Goulburn capt., winning the toss and deciding to bat. Lohman was treated to a rest. The wicket was in fairly good order, but the local batsmen could not look at Peel, and were all disposed of for 57 runs,the solitary compiler of double figures being Blaxland, who made 11. An almost continuous procession was kept up to and from the wickets, Peel, who took 15 wickets for 27 runs, clean bowling 11 of them, and Attewell (who went on after Sharpe had bowled 9 overs for as many runs without getting a wicket) captured 5 for 16. Before stumps were drawn for the day the English­ men had lost 5 wickets for 134 runs, and on Saturday, the total having been raised to 187 without another wicket falling, the innings was declared closed in the hope (which was subsequently realized) of adding another win to the record instead of a draw. Maurice Read played a dashing innings for 53 not out. W. G. also carried out his bat, scoring 32 in good style, and Abel treated the spectators to a fine exhibition of scientific batting in compiling 46. Bean succeeded in breaking the spell which has hung over his batting, and played well for 33, but was. unfortu­ nately, again run out. (With a leeway of 130 to make up before setting their visitors a run the Goulburn men played in much better form at their second attempt, but when closing his innings the English captain had pretty well gauged the calibre of his opponents, who were all out for 114 (batting a man short), another pronounced victory being achieved by an innings and 16 runs. Belcher, 28 ; Finlay, 23 ; and Deering, 15, were heartily and deservedly cheered for their plucky batting. As will be seen from the analysis, Grace made use of half-a-dozen bowlers, the most successful of whom were Briggs (3 for 41), and Sharpe (5 for 14). G o u l b u r n . First Innings. E.
