Cricket 1893

MAY 25, 1893 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 147 With 167 to win M.C.C. began Iheir ta k at a quarter past three o’clock, and handicapped by a wet ball, the result of rain, the Australian bowlers fared so badly at the outset, that Messrs. Grace and Stoddart had put on 72 in a hour-and-a- quarter without a wicket. Another heavy shower hereabouts interrupted the gam e, and it was past five o'clock before the game was resumed. This last downfall,f -llowed by abright sun, affected the wicket prejudicially, and M cLeod’s bowling proved so effective that in fifty minutes the whole aspect o f the game had been changed. Seven wickets w«re then down for 106, and the only doubt was whether M.C.C. w ould be at)le to save the game. Only forty m inutes were left, and though Shacklock and Attew ell played with com ­ mendable nerve and judgment, twenty passed be­ fore Shaeklock was caught. Hearne and Attewell, however provedthemselves equal to theem erg ncy and as tuey plajed out tim e when ha f past six o’clock arrived the game was drawn, M C.C. want­ ing fourteeu to w in, with two wickets to fall. Great praise was due to Attewell and Hearne for the pluck they showed at the crisis. Theirs was a fine finish to a remarkable match, it is not often that a bide going in against such a big fcore as 424 nearly pulls off a cam e, and the Austra­ lians deserve all the credit due to a quite excep­ tional achievem ent. In the three days 1,167 runs were scored for thirty-e ght wickets. Altogether 20,7-20 persons paid for admission. The official returns give 6,560 on the first, 6,575 on the second, and 7,595 on the third day. Before leaving the match we m ust not om it to make reference to Sherwin’s wicket-keeping, w hich was up to the very best standard throughout. M.C.C. First Innings. Dr. W . G.

FIFTH MATCH—v. YORKS EIRE. The remarkable perform ance o f the Australian team at L ord’s at the end of last week added considerably to the interest in their first match against Yorkshire, tegun at Sheffield on Monday. U nfortunately for them , however, in addition to Mr. Turner, who was still not well enough to play, Messrs. (J. Giffen and Blackham were both sta ding ou\ As the wicket was, the bowling o f the two first nam ed would in all probability have been o f imm ense use, and it is to be regretted in the interest of the team that the two perhaps best all-round players on the side should have been absent on the very oc­ casion when their services would have m ost likely materially affected the result. Of the game itself little can re said except that the state of the pitch enabled the bowlers to have things entire y their own way. The heavy rain at the end of last week had made the gronnd soft at the outset, and as it got worse as the game progressed the Yorkshire- m en had all the advantage in gcing in first. Still the Australians themselves were m ainly respon­ sible for the lead the County gained at the start. The duration of Yorkshire’s innings, which lasted just over two hours and a half, was materially increased by mistakes in the fielo. 'iunnicliffe and Brown, who were xet-ponsible for 70 o f 116 from the bat, were both missed, although the form er had made 25 tefore he had a life. Brown, who should have been caught when he had got two skill hit well, and his 38 not out was other­ wise a very creditable innings. The best feature of the Australians’ out cricket was the bowling of Trum ble. His high delivery proved very effective as the wicket was, and he puzzled the batsm en considerably, with in the end a record of seven wickets for only fifty runs. The com ­ m encem ent of Yorkshires outing,too, was marked with equal success. The very first ball bowled Mr. Lyons, whi e with the total only five, Mr. Trott was caught at the wicket. Some capital cricket by Mr. B ruce varied the m onotony considerably, and his thirty was in every way a cerditable innings. W hile Messrs. Bannerman and Gregory were together, the score was sixty, with only four batsmen, and there then seemed a prospect of a good match. After Wainwright resum ed at 61, however, cam e a com plete collapse. The light, it must be admitted, was not very good, and the remaining batsmen made such a poor show that the Australians were after all in a m inority of53runs on the first innings. H eavy rain overnight made the wicket even more difficult on Tuesday morning, and the Yorkshire- men found thems«lves so unable to cope with the bow ling of Messrs. Trumble and Bruce that in an hour and a half they were all dismissed for an ad­ dition of 60 runs. Even this num ber was larger than it m ight have been had the chances that were offered been taken. As it wap, Mr. Trumble took five wickets for 31, and Mr. Bruce four for 27 runs. W ith 125 to win, the Australians’ chances,with the wicket more than ever in favour of the bowler, were only small, and w ith Mr. Lyons again dis­ missed very cheaply they were reduced to a mini­ mum. Peel and Wainwright, too, did very much as they liked with the ball, and the result was never in doubt. In about an hour and a quarter, in fact, the innings was over, and the Yorkshire- men were left with an easy victory by 64 runs. Y orkshire , First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. F. E.
