Cricket 1892

DEC . 1892 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 507 innings was soon closed for an addition of 34 runs. F. S. Jackson took five wickets for 30, and Gibson four for 31 runs. The second innings of Lord Hawke’s team was chiefly noteworthy for a freely hit score of 47 by the captain. Maclean also scored freely, and it was mainly to them that the side were indebted for a creditable total of 112. Sewell was this time the most effective bowler. His five wickets cost 41, Reynolds’ two 28 runs. Only half an hour was left for play when the Presidency went in for their second innings, and with the total fifteen for the loss of two batsmen the match was drawn, the home team wanting 101 to win with eight wickets in hand.

THE SEVENTH MATCH, The team began their seventh fixture of the tour on Dec. 6, at Bangalore, having again to oppose an eleven of the Presidency. The choice of innings fell to the Madras Cap­ tain, and he decided to go in first on a fast run-getting wicket. The English bowling was entrusted to F. S. Jackson and A. E. Gibson, and supported by excellent all round fielding, the pair proved so successful that, when the interval arrived for luncheon, the total was only 72 with six of the best batsmen out. On resuming Major Bruse and Sewell,the two out-outs,the former with sixteen to his credit, and the latter with seventeen, again facedthe bowling. But when only one run had been added to the score, Jackson clean bowled Major Bruce, so that seven wickets were thus down for 79 runs. Few people then imagined that the last three wickets would put on 121 runs! But so it turned out. Reeves came out when Major Bruce left, and he and Sewell made a fine stand for the u*ghi!r\*icket. Bct’i hit in free style, no change in the bowling being able to CRICKETERS— B e s t G o o d s City D epot — b e a r t h is M a r k . — A d v t. G. G. BUSSEY & Co., 36, Queen V ic to ria S treet, near Mansion House move them. The century soon went up, and after that, runs came faster than ever. 110, 120, 130, 140 went up on the telegraph in rapid succession, both" batsmen scoring very quickly. When the score had been carried to 170, Private Reeves was helji at point. The partnership had put on (91 runs, and an entirely different complexion had been given to the game. When Bagwell joined Sewell, who continued to bat with confidence, the second century soon went up. Soon afterwards Hornsby found his way into Bagwell’s wicket, and the innings closed for 203, a very much larger total than was anticipated when the seventh wicket fell. The greatest credit was due to Sewell and Reeves, the former of whom carried his bat for a brilliant imnings of 70. Reeves’ 52 was also a capital exhibition of cricket, the runs were made by these two bats­ men just when they were most wanted. The match ended after all in a decisive victory for Lord Hawke’s team with nine wickets to spare. Most of the English bats­ men scored well, and at the close of the first day their total was 249 for the loss of seven wickets. This sum was increased on Decem­ ber 8 to 280, and the Presidency, in a minority of 77, were dismissed in the second innings for 112. This left the Englishmen with only 36 to win, and this number was got for the loss of one batsman. SEVENTH MATCH—v. MADRAS PRESIDENCY. Played at Bangalore on December 6 and 7.

In this match played on Dec. 8 and 9, at Bangalore, the Englishmen went in first and declared their innings closed with the total 272 for nine wickets. H. F. Wright was the principal scorer with 68, and Lord Hawke 5G, and Foljambe 41 not out, next in order of runs. The local players in their turn made a poor show against the bowling of Hornsby, and were all out for 51, Hornsby taking eight wickets at a cost of only 27 runs. Following their innings on the second day, Bangalore made a better show, thanks to the good play of Fox, who was responsible for 49 of their total of 132. Still the English team had an easy victory, with 89 runs and an innings to spare. NINTH MATCH -v. POONA AND DISTRICT. Played on December 16 and 17. The local team batted first, but were all out for 84, of which one batsman made twenty.seven. Foljambe secured four wickets for twenty- one runs. Lord Hawke’s team scored 185, to which the Captain, who played free cricket for his 62, N. F. Maclean 25, and Robinson 20 (not out) were chief contributors. One wicket was lost by the home team and 12 runs scored when play for tbe day ceased. On the second day, Poona advanced their total to 207, and so left the visitors 107 to get to win. Of this number the Englishmen secured 53 for the loss of five wickets, when play ceased, and thus the match had to be left drawn. TENTH MATCH.—v. PARSEES. B o m b a y , D e c e m b e r 22, 23, a n d 24. The Englishmen sustained their first defeat in this match, the first day's play being witnessed by 15,000 people. Tne Parsees, who won the toss, put together 93 at their first attempt, D. E. Mody (36) playing the best cricket. Lord Hawke’s Eleven could only respond with 73, H. WrigHt and Gibson alone playing well. The Parsees, with a lead of 20 runs on the first innings, made a much better show in their second attempt, scoring 182, with Mody (39) and Bapasola (52) the most successful batsmen. This left the Englishmen with 152 to win, but the out cricket of the Parsees was too good to admit of their success, and as the tenth wicket fell at 93, the Natives were left with a very creditable victory by 109 runs. ELEVENTH MATCH—v. BOMBAY PRESIDENCY. B o m b a y , D e c e m b e r 26 a n d 27. Lord Hawke’s Eleven, who won the toss, scored freely, with the result a total of 263, to which the Captain was again chief contributor with a vigorously hit 79. The Presi­ dency Eleven, which included several players well known to English cricketers, were in most of the second day, but their score only reached 157, of which 41 were got by Osborne. The match was to be completed yesterday. FIRST MATCH— y. COLOMBO. Played at Colombo, on Nov. 11 aud 12. L o r d H a w k e ’s T eam . J. H. J. Hornsby, c Stephens, b Cox ...72 C. W.
