Cricket 1895

2 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J an . 31, 1895. than he did against the Englishmen. G. Giffen was 7 1 not out when the stumps were drawn, with the score at 281 for six wickets. Once a ball rolled from his pads on to the wicket without dislodging tie bails, and at 48, Harry, at slip, let him off. The South Australian tail wagged vigorously on the third day, and the Victorians were left 106 in arrears. They went in expecting to raise at least 300. Jarvis and Jones went on first, but Giffen soon replaced the latter, and at 49 Lyons took Jarvis’s place. Immediately the first wicket— Trott’s—fell, and from that moment the Victorians fell to pieces. At one period Giffen bowled four overs for two maidens three runs and five wickets. Lyons bowled splendidly, and the innings closed for 134. Left with 29 to win, the South Australians made them without losing a wicket, and so won in the most brilliant style by ten wickets.

Continued from Cricket of Dec. 28th. THIRD MATCH. — v. VICTORIA. F o u r t h D a y .— T u e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 20. With the weather still fine, and the wicket still good, though slightly worn, play was continued to-day. The young brothers Trott and M’Leod were the bowlers. Right away Peel gave Black- ham a difficult chance, which Was not accepted. Three maidens were bowled, and then M ’Laren was taken at slip, where, during the match, a great many men had been caught. Stoddart played a fine innings, and his double score in this match was welcome to his comrades because it indicated that he had run into true form. Briggs took Stoddart’s place, and anxious to break his duck, he dashed down the wicket when he struck the first ball, and narrowly escaped being run out Johnny was in for a lively innings, and knocked up 26, while Peel added a dozen. Blackham rang the changes in the bowl­ ing, and C. M ’Leod going on, clean bowled Peel. Bobby played a useful innings, marred by only one chance to Albert Trott when his score was 59. He was an hour adding 14 this morning. Gay went in, made 3, and was sent to the right-about by C. M’Leod. Just before lunch Briggs was caught at slip, after playing a lively innings. After lunch Philipson and Humphreys scored slowly, and each reached double figures. Philipson was then caught and bowled and as Richardson only made 3, the innings terminated for 288. The Victorians needed 398 to claim a victory, and not even the veriest en­ thusiasts dreamed that they would make them on the worn wicket. Harry Trott and Stuckley began operations to the bowling of Briggs and Richardson. Trott immediately began to hit, and had the ball flying in all directions, so that Peel came on, and straightaway had Sfuckley 1 b w. (Oue for 41.) Laver, a tall young fellow, with a great reach, played nearly up to Trott’s pace, and the local barometer rose as 10 after 10 went up in rapid succession. The century was hoisted ; but scarcely had the cheers sub- sided than Laver put a ball to point, and Humphreys took the catch. (Two for 102.) Mitchell joined Trott, but with only 6 runs added, a smart return ran out the latter, who was batting brilliantly and scoring at a great rate. Graham went in only to be at once beaten by Briggs. Harry was disposed of in the same way that Stukey had been at 118, and with the total unchanged Briggs bowled Mitchell. Then the two M’Leuds came together, and together they still were when stumps were drawn. F i f t h D a y .— W e d n e s d a y , N o t . 21. The weather, which all through the match had been magnificent, was again fine, and the attendance numbered 2 , 000 , though the number of spectators was due to the fact that admission was free. The two M’Leods—Robert 32, and Charles 19)—continued the batting to the bowl­ ing of Briggs and Richardson. The fast bowler could do no good, and at 184 handed the ball to Peel. It was, how­ ever, Briggs who got the next wicket, by clean-bowling C. M’Leod. 7—25— 186. Palmer, the next man, having had enough of cautious play in the first innings, hit merrily this time, and sent three consecutive fourers off Briggs. Seeing the mood the batsman was in, Stoddart put on Humphreys, and his first ball was lifted to the long-field, and landed in Brown’s hands. 8—36—230. R. M’Leod and Albert Trott stayed until lunch-time, scoring with extreme caution. Almost immediately after re­ suming M ’Leod’s steady valuable innings was brought to a summary conclusion by Peel. Blackham soon slapped up 10 before he was stumped, and the English­ men were left victors by 134 runs. The Victorians made a plucky fight, but they were overweighted. Peel’s bowling was too much for them. The Yorkshireman was in splendid trim, and during the match, besides making 111 runs, took eight wickets for 100 —a grand all-round feat worthy of Giffen. Richardson was again ineffective, and the problem as to how his bowling is going to fare on the hard wickets is becoming more interest­ ing than ever. His side is troubling him a little, and he will have to be careful, as an arduous season is in front of him. Score and analysis :— E xgland . Second Innings. First innings. A . Ward, c H. Trott, b A.
