Cricket 1896

44 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M arch 26, 1896. and F. Copeland bati ed well, but otherwise the display was very poor. The ground was rather small, and the ball wag lifted no fewer than twelve times over the boundary for six. Hill was in grand form, and in his 102 hit two 6’s and eleven 4’s. He gave only one chance, a very sharp one in the slips. O’Brien, Lord Hawke, and Bromley-Davenport all showed to advantage, the visiting c iptain being most heartily greeted. Attwood played exceedingly well for his 44. He was in for nearly two hours, scoring half the runs made during his stay. Hobson made 25, chiefly by fine, clean bowling. Lohmann in the first and Woods in the second innings bowled successfully, at the end of the i econd day when the match was left drawn, the local team wanted 139 runs to save the innings’ defeat, with seven wickets to fall.

XVIII OF PORT ELIZABETH. Port Elizabeth, Feb. 8 and 10. The Eighteen, which included an old Oxford cricketer and footballer in O. R. Dunell, were not equal to extend the twelve comprising Lord Hawke’s Team. Lohmann’s bowling proved altogether too much for the majority of them and his figures were again remarkable, showing 26 wickets at a cost of only 82 runs. Hayward was again seen to the best ad­ vantage with the bat. A. Britton was principal scorer for the Eighteen and Mangold the most successful bowler. Score and analysis: P ort E lizabeth XVIII.

After the moderate display made by Lord Hawke’s men up to the day of the commencement of this match it was not generally expected that the South African Elevens would make anything like a bad show against them, still it was looked upon as a foregone conclusion that the first match at Port Elizabeth, being played on a turf ground, to which the best men in South Africa are strange, would be a gift for the Englishmen, especially as the pitch is the most favourable in all the country for Loh­ mann’s bowling. So it proved. The South African team was by no means a representative one. Innes and Rowe, the two best left-hand bowlers, and A. B. Tancred, the best bat in South Africa, when in practice, were absent A. Richards, another good all-round man, was not able to play. Lohmann’s marvellous performance with the ball was the great feature of the match. The light was certainly bad, but by no means bad enough to explain away such a lamentable exhibition as that made against the famous Surrey bowler. A curious thing about the game, as far as the English team are concerned, is that almost without exception, the men who had been doing best just previously, failed, while those who had been under a cloud succeeded in making a good many runs. Woods, whose consistent failure with the bat since he left Cape Town had causedmuchwonderand comment, sprang into evidence with a finely compiled 56, and Hill, who had been showing some­ thing like his real form lately, worthily followed in his footsteps. C. W. Wright also came out well, after having done practically nil hitherto. On the other side, Middleton proved himself, as he has done often enough before, one of the best bowlers. Of the batsmen, Routledge, Poore, Hearne, and Halliwell alone seemed to show any real confidence, and the display generally was very dis­ appointing. Score and analysis :— E ngland . Sir T. C.
