Cricket 1894

850 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAMEe AUG. 23, 1894 Altogether the South African team played twenty-four m atches, of w hich twelve were won five drawn, and seven lost. Their all-round cricket show ad great im provem ent as the tour advanced, and from a purely cricketal point of view, even if the financial results were disappointing, the first viu t o f a South African team to England must te regarded as a success. Mr. Sewell’s batting was one o f quite the best features He scored over a thousand runs, and as hs is quite young, he has the making of a first-clasa player. It is rumoured he is like'y to stay in (ilou c stfrshire wbe e he has relati ns. The bowling of Mr. Rowe, who is also a run-getter, showed prom ise. The wicket- keeping of Mr. Halliwell, too fully carre up to expectation. He was, it m ay safely e said, quite first-class. Tha batting and bowling averages follow.

B oth a e very good bats and have scored consistently. fcte.ens played a fine inniogs of 105 not out agiinst Malvern College, and W yatt-Sm ith com ­ m enced the season with 101. Towards the end of the season A. D ixon scored 126 not out against the M C.C., a really magnificent innings, and to tbat he owes his average of 23.9. C. A. S. Ridout also played some good innings, 86 against South W ilts being his best. H e com es next with 22.6. O f th^ rest W . H . A tkinson played very well at times, and deserves a higher averagj than he has. G . Partridge, H . K . Young, and O. S. Wigan also showed them selves capable of scoring. Young’s 49 not out and 28 not out were made when matters were looking very bad for his side, and Partridge scored 20 against Malvern at a critical time. 'Ih e bowling has been decidedly weaker than the batting. A. D. Radford did not com e up to expectations, though he did m oderately well, J. tfl. Stevens did very well against the M .C.C., and has taken over 20 wickets, while Dixon and JStanger-Leathes, who owe3 his average t )h is perform ance against Bradfield, have taken only 16 and 15 wickets respectively. On the whole the team has been above the average, and the def at of the M.CC. by an innings and 43 runs, when the School made 332 for 7 wickets and declared, and got their opponents out for 168 ana 121, was a remarkable achieve­ m ent. T he fielding has been good with ong or two exceptions. T he be3t Lowling per­ form ances were A. P. R adford’s eight wickets for 37 runs against W eym outh, and J. E Stevens’ fire for 21 against the M .C.C. Partridge was very expensive at first but im proved latterly, bowling very well against the M C.C. and South W ilts. 1 he E b in gtoa Cupi have been awarded ns fo’ - low s—» attir g, J. H.

The Cheshire eleven, who had not been beaten before this season, made a creditable d aw in their m atch with Warwickshire, played at Birmingham on M onday and Tuesday. The first day’s cricket went entirely in favour of V*arwick- shire, who hart, at the finish, a lead o f 152 on the first inning'*, with only half their wickets down. l hough Cheshire went in first, W hitehead’s bowl­ ing proved far too effective for the m ajority of the batsmen, and in two hours the whole side were out for a total of 81. W hitehead’s figure» were exceptional. His eight wickets only cost thirty runs. Mr. Fainbridge and Walter Quaife opened W arwickshire’s innings in a very different style, scorii'g 302 for the first wicket Diver and W illiam Quaife subsequently scored freely from the <heshire bowsers, adding 85 in seventy-five minutes by sound and attractive battiag. These two batsmen in particular showed biilliant cr cket, and the latter’s 67 was an especially taking display. At the finish on M onday Warwickshire had scored 233 for five wickets, and when rain al owed of a resum ption just after half-past twelve o’clock on Tuesday, ihe liter tatsm en of Warwickshire scored so freely that 85 runs w erj added in fifty-five minutes. Mr. Bainbridge then (with the total 338 for eight wickets) closed his innings, leaving Cheshire with 2 >7runs to save the innings. During the luncheon interval rain again fell, and it was c ose on five o’clock tefore play was resumed. W ith a s’ippery ground and a wee >all, the Warwickshire row ers were severely handicapped, and Mr. Ho den and Davenport played ruch excellent cricket that 130 had been added with both I atsmen still in when the game anded. Cheshire, as will be seen, had scored 167 for the loss of on y two wickets, a very creditable performance. C h e s h ir e . First Innings.
