Cricket 1895

F e b . 28, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECOBD OF THE GAME. -7 scored. In their second they put together 411 in five and a half hours. Therefore, roughly, in nine and a half hours they scored 649 runs, or an average of 68 an hour. The Englishmen’s figures present a striking contrast. They are— first innings, two hours, forty-five minutes, 124 runs; second innings, two hours, fifty-five minutes, 143 runs. Al­ together they occupied five hours, forty minutes in making 267 runs, giving an average rate of scoring of 47 runs an hour. Yet they came out here as a brilliant batting team. Circumstances alter men, though. Scores :— A ustralia . First Innings. Second Innings. W . Bruce, b .Richardson ... 11 c Brockwell b Briggs ...........80 G. H. S.

The third test match numbered with the things of the past, Stoddart and his merry men hied them to Broken Hill, the silver city of the south, the city which has sprung up near the famous Broken Hill mine. No previous English team has been to the Hill, although more than one has talked of doing so, more for the sake of seeing the big mine than for the cricket, which is of the usual country type. Broken Hill is one of the hottest places in Australia, and except for the mines and a magnificent sheet of water a few miles out —artificially conserved as a water supply for the town—is absolutely without interest. It is, however, a reve­ lation for men to go down below the mine which has turned out millions of ounces of silver during the last ten years to walk about in the shafts timbered on the square-set system, and to see the men at work on the huge “ faces ” of ore. F ir st D a y .— F r id a y , J a n u a r y 18. The local skipper won the toss, and, of course, sent the visitors into the field. Humphreys and Brockwell began the bowling, and the innings opened sensa­ tionally. The first ball from the ‘ ‘ lobster, ’ ’ went for two leg-byes, and the second ball for a couple. The next clean bowled Mitchell, and the fourth was played-on by Roberts. Then Brockwell bowled Jenkins off his pads. (Three for 4). Then in his second over Humphreys bowled Slattery and Swan, so that five wickets were down for 4 without a soli­ tary run having been made off the bat. Neilson and D ’Arcy then stopped the rot, and 20 runs were up before another wicket fell. Then the wickets began to topple again, and thirteen men were out for 39 runs and fifteen for 48. Cullen and Luke put on 20 runs for the six­ teenth wicket, but the total stopped at 68 . The miners were completely flabber­ gasted by Walter Humphreys’ lobs, which yielded the splendid average of ten for 36. Gay and Peel opened the Englishmen’s innings, and both were out with the score at 4, Bobby Peel falling, as he does so often, 1 b w (and it was not the country umpire who gave him out), and Gay being clean bowled. Ward and M ‘Laren were now partners, and the scoring was so slow that off the first sixteen overs only 4 runs were scored. Once, how­ ever, the batsmen felt their way on the matting wicket, which always bothers them, they made runs more rapidly, the amateur, as usual, leading the way. At 41, however, Ward was smartly taken at point. Brockwell came in, and Lane, the young Lancastrian, let off at leg, a mistake which proved expensive. Ross, a curly, slow leg-break bowler, now came on, and straightaway got one past Brockwell. (Pour for 59.) The delight of the spectators was short-lived. As upon Stoddart joining M ‘Laren a fine stand was made, the score being doubled all but 2 runs. The younger amateur was well set, and hitting splendidly, one ball finding its way clean over the boundary. In the same over that he brought off the big hit he tried another, but was caught near the boundary at long-field off. (5—55—116.) Ford, the next man, made four singles while his captain was hitting three fourers, and then was well caught at extra mid-off from a low, spinning hit. Philipson, the next man, stayed with Stoddart till stumps were drawn, the total then stand­ ing at 138, of which the captain, by free play, had made 44 and Philipson 1. S e c o n d D a y . — S a t u r d a y , J a n t jr y 19. Stoddart quickly added 11 runs before he was taken at point. Briggs, who succeeded him, had nearly as many litres as a cat—in fact, he had three. At 172 he lost Philipson, who was splendidly caught and bowled, after making 18 in fine style. Brown only made 1, and at last a chance from Briggs was accepted, the innings closing for 178. As there was plenty of time to finish the match Stoddart put on Philipson with Briggs. The amateur at practice bowls big breaks, and the captain often says he wishes he would show him how he holds the ball to mak e it break as he does. He puzzled the batsmen somewhat, but Briggs gave them no bother at all, and just before luncheon gave way to Hum­ phreys. At lunch time two wickets were down for 31. After lunch Stoddart bowled for a time with Philipson, and so successfully, that seven wickets were down for 55. With 0 up, as a slight stand was being made, Brockwell and Briggs went on, and the Surrey man at once began to operate. Humphreys came on too, and the end of the innings was soon brought about, the Englishmen winning by an innings and 8 runs. Brockwell was too much for the bats­ men, and finished with the wonderful average of seven wickets for 7. B roken H il l . First Innings. Second Innings. J.
