Cricket 1893

878 CRICKET i A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. AUG . 81, 1898 THE EIGHTH AUSTRALIAN TEAM. TH IRTY-FO U R TH MATCH—ENG LAND T. AU STRALIA. It had been originally intended by the Lanca­ shire executive to place in the field at Manchester at the end o f last week, lor the third m atch against the Australians, the same eleven as had been so successful at the Oval, with one exception. Peel was chosen instead o f Lockw ood, but as the Yorkshire comm ittee refused to let the form er off, Lockw ood would have played after all bnt for the strain to his leg, w hich caused his break down during the Surrey m atch against Somersetshire at Taunton. In his stead a place was found for Richardson, and as P. S. Jackson preferred to represent Yorkshire against Sussex a second vacancy was created, which was filled by the inclusion of another Surrey player, Brockwell who it may be said fair y earned his prom otion to a representative m atch by his excellent all-round cricket this summer This tim e luck, which had a -slated the Englishm en both at Lord’t* and the O /al, favoured the Australians in the toss, and w .th the wicket in excellent condition they natu raly took the innings. Still, up to a certain point, they failed to make any very great use of their advantage, and this though they were t tvoured by some faulty fielding on the English side. Up to the luncheon interval on Thursday, indeed, the play presented no great feature of interest, and it need only be stated that, so far, in an hour and fifty minutes that is, 101 were scored for the loss of four batsm en. The next two wickets only added 19, and with six out for 130 the chances of a big score were apparently very small. Some attractive cricket by B uce and 1 rum ble was the first to evoke any enthusiasm. In fifty minutes they added 64, and Bruce’s batting was far and away the best on the side. Their success, though, was counter-balanced bv the failures of the later batsmen, and as M cLeod, Turner, and Blackham added but 2 the innings Ja the end only reached a total of 204. Richardson was the m ost successful of the four English bowlers, and five wickets were the product o f his 23 overs. W hen England went in an attem pt at a short run cost Stoddari’s wicket without a notch, and before play ceased on Thursday one more batsm an (Shrewsbury) had been dismissed with 54 as the result of seventy minutes’ cricket. On Friday morning W . G. was bow led off his pads for a well got 40, and inspired by this success the Australians bowled ana fielded so well that by the luncheon interval six batsm en in all were out for an aggregate of 145. So far, there had been no advantage to either side, and it hardly looked as if E ngl*nd would get a lead. Gunn, w ho w« s not out 44, only received a fair am ount of assistance from the later batsmen, and when the innings was over and the Australians were 39 to the bad, he was still in with 10«i to his credit. For four hours and ten m inutes he had played all the Australian bowling w ith consumm ate confidence and judgm ent. W hile in the earlier part his defence was impregnable, later on his play showed m uch greater freedom, and, at all events, towards the finish it was a really attractive exhibition of butting. Throughout, too, it was free from a mistake. Going in 39 to the bad the Australians began well, Lyons and Bannerman, nutting on 56 for the first wicket. The latter saw both Giffen and Trott retire, and when play ceased on Friday he was still in with M cLeod, with the total 93 for three wickets. On Saturday m orning M cLeod was dismissed w ithout another Tun, but Bruce again played in excellent form , and in forty minutes 54 were added, of which the left-hander’s share was 36. H is retirem ent was quickly followed by the dismissal of Graham, Gregory, and Trum ble, and at luncheon tim e eight wickets were down for 190, or 151 on. On the renewal, although he had one o f his fingers put out of joint by Richardson, Turner batted w ith great pluck, and after Bannerman was bow led he helped Blackham to add 3*s for the last wicket, a m ost invaluable stand for the side. T oo m uch praise can hardly be given to Bannerman for his innings of 60. He was in altogether three hours and a half, and, except for an easy chance when he had made 50, his play was free from fault. Richardson again bow led with success. As he took ten wickets in the m atch for 150 runs he quite justified his selection. W ith 198 to get England had no change of a win with only two hour8 and a quarter left for play. Still, G race and Stoddart set to work iu a determined style, and so evenly did they score that when Stoddart was out with 78 as the result o f eighty minutes’ batting, his share was 42. W . G. was caught at 100 for another excellent score of 45, and then Shrews­ bury and Gunn played so carefully that it looked as if this would be the last success of the Australians. As it was, Trum ble bow led Gunn and W ard with successive balls, and W . W. Read had not been able to score before tim e was up. The gam e was accordingly drawn rather in favour o f England, who wanted 80 to win with six wickets to fall. A u s t r a l ia . First Innings. Mr. A. C Bannerman, c McGregor, b Briggs ... 19 Mr. J.

The later Australian teams have wisely, in our opinion, set their faces against m atches against odd 3, which can only be classed as exhibition games, and are c rtainly ouM de the category of genuine cricket. Besides, the conditions under which the m atch took place precluded it from being anything of a real test. The ground se ected had only been recently laid down for cricket, and in the reasonable doubt as to how it would play, those responsible for the arrange­ ments, with good judgment, no doubt, decided to play on cocoa-nut matting. Under such circum stances, novel, at least, for an English ground, anything like a detailed report of the cricket would serve no real use. The fixture arranged at Blackpool for the first part of this week should not, be taken too seriously. It will be enough, therefore, if we give the score and analysis in full. The Australians, we may add, played twelve, and in the absence of both Blacknam and Bannerman, M cLeod captained the side. In the end the Australians won by 79 runs. A u s t r a l ia n s .
