54 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A p r il 9, 1896. ['LO RD H A W K E ’S TEAM IN SOUTH A FR ICA . TWELFTH MATCH v. SIXTEEN OF FREE STATE. Bloemfontein, Feb. 19 and 20. In glorious weather Lord Hawke’s <earn commenced a match at Bloemfontein on February 19th, against sixteen of the Free State. There was a poor attendance before lunch, but after the interval it rose considerably in numbers. Lord Hawke having won the toss, the Englishmen took first innings, but did nothing re­ markable on a fast matting wicket against indifferent bowling. The best batting by far was shown by Sir Timothy O'Brien and Mr. Wright, who made 35 and 43 respectively by good cricket. Lord Hawke hit hard towards the close of the inriings, scoring a couple of 6’s off Dutoit. The latter and C. Fichardt, the captain of the Sixteen, were most successful with the ball, and the fielding, particularly that of Hill at cover-point, was excellent. The innings closed just after half-past three for 192. On the Sixteen going in twenty minutes later, Lord Hawke began with his least successful bowlers, putting on Tyler, Fry, Miller, and O'Brien in that order, trying Bromley-Davenport and Hayward. He then gave a turn, while Lohmann and Woods were not once tried. In consequence the fir3t batsmen, Wiley and Dore, were able to get set, and they put on 33 together. Afterwards wickets fell rapidly before Hayward and Davenport; still Dore was not disposed of until fifteen minutes before six, when he had scored the highest individual total in the day’s play. The catch which dis­ missed him was a grand one. Dore had made 48 out of 84 when he retired just before stumps were drawn. Deighton slogged out without regard of the fields­ men, and, having lack, was not out at the close of play, when the total was 106 for six wickets. The innings eventually closed for 165. Lohmann took six wickets for 19 runs. In their second innings the Englishmen mostly scored well, with the result an aggregate of 269 for seven wickets. Hayward was again the chief scorer with 95.

FIFTEEN OF PRETORIA. Pretoria, February 26 and 28. On February 26, the English team began a match at Pretoria against a local fifteen in glorious weather. Lord Hawke won the toss, and sent the Pretorians in to bat. A. B. Tancred, considered the best batsmen in South Africa, was caught in the slips in the first over, and in spite of a stand by Seccull and Joe Wallach, at luncheon time seven wickets were down for 65. On resuming, though Korsten played fine free cricket for 59, no one else offered any resistance, and the fifteen were all out for 167. The English­ men opened their innings with O’Brien and Hill. At 11 the former was badly run out, and Hill and Hayward fell at 22 and 29 respectively. Fry and Wright were then associated and 66 were recorded before the former ran himself out. Wright was caught at 68. while Hawke shared the same fate. One run later Woods and Davenport brought the score to 88. The latter was then yorked by McArthur, who was bowling well. Loh­ mann quickly set to work finishing up the day’s play by hitting McArthur for two 4’s and a six. The English innings closed for 160, Lohmann carrying out his bat for 50. In their second attempt the Fifteen only made 87, and the Englishmen knocked off the 98 wanted for the loss of five wickets. Score and analysis: P reto ria XV. First innings. Second innings. A. B.

The second of the test matches played by Lord Hawke’s team resulted iu a most decisive \ictory. It took placs on the Wanderers Ground at Johannesburg, and resulted in favour of the Englishmen by no less than an innings and 197 runs. Some such result was not unexpected as the South African Eleven was by no means representative, notably with A. B. Tancred, an absentee, but A. R. Innes and A. W. Seccul were unable to play. Middleton too was ordered to Cape Town
