Cricket 1896

J an . 30, 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 15 my opinion never shaped better than he is shaping now either with bat or gloves. Harry Graham appears to have got back into his old batting trim, and we all know that fit and well he cannot be left behind. Harry Trott is of course a certainty, and I presume that A. E. Trott will secure a place in the thirteen—or is it to be fourteen ? Should he show any­ thing like the form of the famous test match season we shall all be well pleased. Other Victorian names are Bob and Charlie M’Leod, Jack Harry, and Hugh Trumble, and as bowlers are wanted one at least of the four will be almost sure to be chosen. Jack Harry’s all-round qualifications cannot well be lost sight of. The selection committee will have no light or enviable task in making the final choice, but bowlers will be the first con­ sideration, and four or five must be chosen. Personally, I would wish very much to see Jack Ferris and Charles Turner as they were in 1888, with three other bowlers of merit and variety to support them. The pair were bowled to a standstill in the heavy tour of 1888, for they had rather poor support. The captain will probably be Harry Trott, and, so far as I have noticed him in this capacity, he has given general satisfaction. George Giffen has been freely mentioned for the post; but most cricketers, and the public too, think that George has a peculiar habit of sticking to the bowling crease too long. That fare­ well match of Mr. Stoddart's team in Adelaide, for instance; yet I heard so good a judge as the Major say that if George had not kept on the Englishmen would never have been got out. I believe that George himself is not unfavourable to the election of Harry Trott. C olts . C ol E. Weinman, c Poole, b Pillans................. 3 J. Heyzer, c Pillans, b Saxton.................13 C.

VTCTOBIA v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. This, the first inter-colonial match of the season, concluded at Adelaide on November 13th, produced after all an exciting game. At the end of the third day South Australia were left in appar­ ently quite a hopeless condition, with only two wickets to fall. P. Jarvis (26) and Claxton (5) were the not outs, and with 21 added Boche bowled Claxton. Jones was the last man, and he hit so freely that six bowlers were tried before the end came. In just over an hour Jones scored 66, and the last wicket put on 91 runs. Victoria won in the end by 66 runs. Score and analysis:— S outh A ustralia . First innings. J. J. Lyons, c A.
