Cricket 1892

FEB. 25, 1892 CRICKET s A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 21 but in this instance also the bowler had hard lines. Twice Brockwell drove lofty catches to the deep field, and twice did the fieldsmen there stationed drop or misjudge the ball, and a piece of misunderstanding between Grimmer and Frank Hearne as to who should go for a skyer directly afterwards gave him a third life. Van der Byl did a remarkable perform­ ance in the latter part of the innings. He began with a succession of maiden overs, sending down eleven before a run was made from him, and he came out with four wickets taken at a cost of 3 runs apiece. Graham also was in maiden form, bowling fifteen out of the twenty-three overs he delivered, but his bowl­ ing was a trifle short, and lacked sting. The ground fielding of the Colonial team was mostly excellent, especially that of Frank Hearne, Mills, Powell, and George Glover. Good catches were made by Routledge, Cogh­ lan, Ehlert, and Mills, and what would have been good ones were missed by Ehlert, Mills, and Coghlan. The English team closed their innings for 236. Wanting 94 runs to avert a single innings defeat, Ferris opened the bowl­ ing, faced bv J. T. Hearne. Mills made singles, one off each bowler, and then stumps were drawn for the day. S econd D ay — F r id a y , J anuary 15. The two over-night not outs, Mills and Ehlert, went to the wickets at a quarter to twelve, the first-named scoring 6 off Ferris’ s first over by drives for 4 and 2. Martin bowled from the baths end, and in his first over sent back Ehlert, by bowling his middle stump. None of the others made any stand, and the innings, which requires no comment, closed at three o’clock for 77 runs, leaving the English team victorious by an innings and 15 runs.

Just before the departure of the team Chatterton was presented with a diamond pin, given by Mr. Mendelssohn to the highest scorer in the Kimberley Cricket Week. After training to Vynburg we set off by coach in two parties for Johannesburg. Heavy roads and rain made the long and tedious journey the more uncomfortable, and words can hardly express the feeling of relief when, after days and nights, the last span of forty-two hours without a rest, we sighted the Band. On the morning of the first day it was beautiful weather, the rain having passed over. The pitch was a bit on the soft side after the con­ tinual downpour. Mr. Tancred, having beaten Mr. Read in the spin of the coin, took Williams for a partner to face the bowling of Mr. Ferris and Martin. The captain of the local team, and the best batsman in the colony, stayed till the total was 101, when he retired for a very well played 46. His cutting and driving were alike good, and during his long innings of nearly four hours he showed really excellent cricket. Later on Amesbury batted well, but no one else except Bailey did much, and the innings closed for 156. S econd D a y .— F rid a y , J anuary 22. The pitoh was a tiifle slow from the morn­ ing’s rain, and the outfield in places had a suspiciously greasy appearance. Within a few minutes after the bell rang Tancred led his numerous field on the ground, and imme­ diately afterwards G. G. and A. Hearne appeared at the wickets. De Villiers and Tancred commenced the bowling, and a very good start they made, five of the best English wickets being down for 56. George Hearne, who had played very carefully from the start, however, found a useful partner in his cousin, J. T., and the score had been raised to 161 before the former was bowled. He had been four hours at the wickets, and his innings was altogether free from a chance. J. T. Hearne was the last out at 189, having shown excellent cricket for his 50. Going in again 33 to the bad the Eighteen had lost four of their best batsmen (including Tancred) for sixteen runs. T h ir d D a y .— S a tu r d a y , J anu ary 23. Though several of the later batsmen of the Eighteen showed fairly good form, they were only able to head their previous total by five runs This left the English team with 129 to get in about three hours, and though Mr. Murdoch, George Hearne, and Mr. Read were all dismissed, the runs were got, thanks to some free cricket by Mr. Brain and Pougher, with three wickets to spare.

This match was commenced in lovely weather. Only two alterations were made on the home side, W. Huigh and J. H. Piton (Pretoria) coming in. Three alterations were made in the English side, A. Hearne, W . Brockwell, and E. Leany standing down in favour of W , Chatterton, Barton, and H. Wood, who had not played since leaving Port Elizabeth, owing to a slight fever. Mr. A. B. Tancred again beat Mr. Bead for choice of innings, and took Williams for a partner. Mr. Ferris and Martin shared the bowling. Tancred started by putting Ferris away for 4 in his first over, but in the Austra­ lian's second over the amateur canght and bowled the premier batsman, much to the disappointment of the crowd. (One for 4 ) W. Heugh came next, and started playing very well, hitting Mai tin smartly to the ropes. The batsmen now plajed very carefully, and 20 was hoisted after forty-five minutes’ play. At 24 Williams pulled one on to his wicket from Martin (two for 24), letling in P. Wimble. At 27 J. T. Hearne took the ball from Martin, aDd Heugh hit his fourth ball for 2. The luncheon bell now rang with Heugh and Wimble together. Resuming again at twenty-five minutes past two Martin again bowled, vice Hearne. Still no separation could be effected, the score gradually rising to 40. Wimble then hit Ferris for 4 and a 2, and his partner doing the same, 50 went NEXT ISSUE MARCH 24
