Cricket 1893

14 CK1CKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JAN. 26, 1893 that their all-round cricket must have im ­ proved since then, more than ordinary interest was attached to the meeting. Fortu­ nately for Lord Hawke’s team, Mr. Jackson was able to play again, but they were on the other hand unlucky iu not being able to claim the services of Mr. Robinson, whose ankle wras still too painful to allow him to take much exercise. The match was begun on Thursday, December 22nd, and punctually at noon tbe Englishmen, who had loss the toss, turned out to take up their po.-itions in the field. Heseltine and Foljambe commenced the bowling, and as the wicket was not in the best condition their outing was not of very long duration. The only stand of any account was that of D. B. Mody and Machlli- wala for the second ticket. Both batsmen played in good form, and it was not until Jackson was tried that a separation was effected by the dismissal of Machlliwala. Subsequently Hornsby and Hill bowled with great effect, and, thanks mainly to an excel­ lent performance by the latter, who took five wickets in the same number of overs, at a cost of only seven runs, the total after all only reached 93. Such a soore as this seemed to be well within the capacity of the English team. They had however to repkon with some capital all round cricket on the part of the Parsers, • and the bowlers were so well supported in the field that the Englishmen were all out for 73, twenty short of their opponents. The wicket helped the bowlers somewhat, and Pavri, who was so successful with the last Parsee team in England, and R. Mody in particular took a lot of watching. The Parsees did not commence their second innings very auspi­ ciously,as although Gagrat shaped well for his fifteen, three of the best batsmen had been dismissed before the end of the day with only thirty-two runs on the score sheet. On the fol­ lowing morning (December 23) R. E .M oly and Bapasola made runs freely. Mody was ag-iin seen to great advantage, and his 39 was an excellent display of cricket with only one chance. Bapasola hit freely, particularly in the latter part of his innings, but he had some luck. The extreme heat, indeed, had had a sensible effect on the fielding of the English team, and more than one chance was missed. On the other hand C. W. Wright kept wicket very well throughout. He caught three ta^.smen, besides stumping in. At the finish Lord Hawke’ s Team wanted 203 to win, and so badly did they fare w'ith the wicket playing at times queerly that six of the best batsmen were out for only twenty. C. W. Wright and Hill made some amends by a plucky disp’ ay of batting,and when stumps were drawn thirty had been added, with both batsmen still in. On the following day the match was soon over. Wright failed to add to his score* and the four remaining wickets only put on 42, the Parsees were left with a very creditable victory with 109 runs to spare. Their victory was the result of very creditable all-round cricket. Pavri’s bowling at the finish contributed in a great measure, though he was much indebted himself to the uniformly good fielding. In the second innings he got six wickets at a cost of thirty-six runs. Lord Harris, the Governor of Bombay, took great interest in the match, and his band played at intervals during the game.

BOMBAY. Boxing Day saw the commencement of the elevdith match of the tour, nnd the second in the province of Bombay. The Englishmen were this time opposed by an eleven repre­ senting the Presidency, including Capt. Newnham, who bowled with success for Gloucestershire some few years ago, and E. B. llaikes, an Old Wellington captain, who w’ent subsequently to Oxford, and occasionally did good service for Norfolk. Tbe Englishmen were fortunate enough to win the toss, and occupied the wickets the whole of the firot day for a total of 263. Lord Ilawke and Mr. Hornsby, who went in first,were both missed, and profiting by these escapes, they hit out with great freedom. With these exceptions the fielding of the local eleven was generally good, and the out cricket all round improved in consequence. Still the batting of the English team was above the average. Lord Hawke was principal scorer with 79, and some of tbe later batsmen, notably Messrs. Gib.-ion, Hill, and W’ rigbt, all showed to advantage. In the evening the members of Lord Hawke’s ttam w’ere entertained to dinner by the Parsees, among whose guests was Lord Harris, the Governor. The early stages of Bomba\’s first innings’ commenced on the following morning, were only remarkable for the good p liy of Captain Luard, who made 20 of 43 got 011 the fall of the sixth wicket. Captain Cox and Mr. Usborne, though, made up for any previous shortcomings by their spirited cricket, and their stand, which realised 78 runs, was of great assistance to the side. Later on, too, Messrs. Rnikes and Trevor played up well, and in the end the result was a creditable total of 157. Following 011 in a minority of 106, Bombay began fairly well, thanks to Mr. Tiask, who had made 27 of the 50 scored at the end of the day for the loss of four batsmen. Ou the following morning Mr. Trask continued to bat in exceUent st\le, and he was not out till he had made G2. Still, even with useful help from Mr. Usborne and Captain Newnham, the total did not reach that of the first innings. W ith the side all out for 140 the Englishmen were only left with 25 to win, and though two batimen were dis­ missed, the runs were got in half-an-hour. BOW LING A N \LYSI?. L ord H awke ’ s T eam .

PARSEES. The victory of the Parsees in their first match created, of course, increased inter­ est in the return, began <n Thursday, December 29th. Lord Hawke was again successful in the toss, but the wicket was not in favour of run getting, and as it was the English team did fairly well to reach a total of 139. The best cricket of the innings was shown by Mr. Jackson, whose thirty-nice was a very creditable display. The later batsmen only made a poor show against the Parsee bow ing, supported as it was by excellent fielding, and Mr. Writer took four of ihe last six wickets at a cost of only 16 runs. The com­ mencement of the Harsees’ innings was very unpromising, and indeed three of the best batsmen were out with the total only two. A useful stand by Messrs. Mody and D. Kanga, however, improved matters considerably, and when plav ceased for the day, the score sheet showed 80 for the loss of seven wickets. On the following morning some capital cricket by Messrs. Mody and M. Kanga enabled the Parsees to make a better show than at first seemed likely, and when the tenth witket fell they were only twelve runs short of the
