Cricket 1892

44 CBICKET s A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME* MARCH 24, 1892 TH IRTEENTH MATCH—v. BORDER TWENTY-TWO. K in g W il l ia m ’ s T ow n , F e b . 17, 18, and 19. The thirteenth match, played at Grahams- town on February 17 and two following days, ended in a draw. Mr. Read winning the toss put the Twenty-two in, and Martin and Mr. Ferris performed to such effect on the drying wicket that the whole side were out for 59. In their turn the English team began badly, and indeed, Pougher, who made 44, was the only batsman who seemed to be at all at home with the bowling. In a minority of 50, the Twenty- two made a better show in their second innings. Edney in particular played good cricket, and the total was 155 before the last wicket fell. Wanting 106 to win, and with only an hour and a half left for play, the English team had little chance of a win, and when stumps were drawn only 48 had been got for the loss of two batsmen.

F ir s t D a y — M o n d ay , F e b ru ar y 22. Beautiful weather favoured the opening day’s play. The local men winning the toss sent m Turberville and Meade, to face the bowling of Ferris and J. T. Hearne. The innings commenced disastrously. Three wickets fell for one, and as none of the others, except F. Copeland and H. Austin, made a stand, the innings closed a little before four o’clock. Chatterton and Alec Hearne opened the defence for the English against the bowling of F. Wallace and Austin, and when stumps were drawn at a quarter to six they were not out with Chatterton 21 and Mr. Read 15. S econd D ay — T u esd ay , F e b r u a r y 23. On resuming at twelve, on Tuesday, the attack was entrusted to Austin and Keeton, who were both in capital form. Chatterton continued to play good cricket, but no one else offered a lengthy resistance, and the innings was over for 78. The Grahamstown fielding was very creditable throughout Giddy, H. Dold, and Copeland putting in some ex­ cellent work. In a minority of 9 on the first innings Grahamstown went in against the bowling of Ferris and Martin, and when play ceased had made 67 with six wickets to fall.

W ith 69 to make to win, the English began their second innings with Chatterton and Alec Hearne. When 27 had been made without the loss of a wicket, rain stopped play and the match was abandoned.

P o rt E lizabeth, February 27 and 29. The fifteenth match was played at Port Elizabeth on January 27 and 29, and ended in a victory for the English team by 66 runs. The Captain of the Eighteen winning the toss, decided to send the Englishmen in as the wicket was on the soft side. Under such conditions Parkin and Crage bowled with considerable success, and Pougher, who scored 27, was the only batsman to get double figures. The pitch had not recovered when the Eighteen went in, and Mr. Ferris and J. T. Hearne bowled with such effect that the side were all dismissed for 50, Mr. Ferris taking twelve wickets for 24. Chatterton’s battiDg was the feature of the second innings of the English Team. Going in first, he carried out his bat for an exceedingly well- played forty. Wanting 141 to win, the Eighteen had lost two wickets for four runs when play ceased for the day. On the second day the fifteen outstanding wickets only added 70, so that the Eighteen were in a minority of 66 runs. M r . W. W. R ead ’ s E leven . First Innings. Second Innings. A. Hearne, c D.
