Cricket 1897

46 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a r c h 23, 1897. IN TERCO LON IAL CK ICKET. VICTORIA v. NEW SOUTH WALES. Played at Sydney on January 23, 25, 26, 27 and 28. New South Wales won by 192 runs. After each side had played an innings, New South Wales seemed to have a remarkably good chance of losing the match, but their second innings was so surprisingly good that in the end they were able to give Victoria an almost im­ possible task in the fourth innings of the match, viz., to make 461 runs, after field­ ing out to an innings of 570. Although several men on both sides greatly distin­ guished 1hems"lve.«, there were three who will be able to look back upon the match with particular piide These were Noble, H. Trott, and M’Kibbin. Noble and Trott batted wonderfully well in both innings, while M’ Kibbin surpassed him­ self iu bowling. It was thought to be a great stroke of luck for New South Wales to win the tnss, for the wicket was hard and perfectly true. But on two or three occasions during the present Australian season the wicket ha? apparaiitly been too fast for the batsmen until it has been worn a little; in the Victoria v. New South Wales match it seems to have baffled most Of the players until each side in turn came to hav.i a second iunings. The winners of llie toss lost thteegood men, Donnan, Mackenzie, and Kelly, for 21; and Gregory was run out at 24. A worse beginning on a good wicket could hardly be iinigined. The next wicket did not fall so rapidly, but it only produced 27 runs. Disasters still fol­ lowed, and seven wickets were down for 76. The tail, however, came to the assis­ tance of Noble, who was batting finely, and when the last wicket fell the score had been more than doubled. Eoche had an excellent analysis for Victoria. Under the circumstances Victoria had a fine chance of winning, but singularly enough, the team, except Trott and Laver, failed to make runs, despite the excellence of the wicket. The start, although not quite as bad as that of New South Wales, was bad enough, for four wickets were down for 68. It was now that Laver and Trott came together, and bpfore they were parted the total had mouuted to 232. Trott was the first to go, for a splendid innings of 104; Laver failed to reached his hundred by nineteen. Both men hit well, and laid on to M’Kibbin very heavily. The tail c illapsed. M’Kibbin, despite the treatment which he received from Trott and Laver, had only 111 runs hit off him and took 8 wickets. Iu their second innings the New South Wales men nearly all showed great form, and nine of them made double figures. Tae chief honours rested with Noble and Donnan, but Iredale, Gregory, Mackenzie, Garrett, and Howell, ail deserved well of their cjlony. With a total of 461 to face in their second innings Victoria did as well as could h ive been expected. The tail did most of the work, Trumble especially playing a fine innings. It was generally admitted that the wicket keeping of Johns was as near perfection as possible. N ew S outh W ales . H. Donnan, b Trumble ... 9 b Trum ble............84 A. C.
