2 2 2 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 19, 1902. THE AUSTRALIANS. THE MATCH AGAINST AN ENGLAND ELEVEN. THIRTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Plaj’ed at the Saffrons, Eastbourne, on June 16, 17 and 18. Australians won by 131 runs. It had originally been intended to call the eleven •which opposed the Australians at Eastbourne a South of England eleven, but as the list of players who were available to take part in it did not represent in the slightest degree the strength of the South, it was decided to alter the title. Possibly “ A Scratch Eleven ” would have been an even better title, although naturally it would not have been as attrac­ tive. More fortun ite than most of the players who were taking part in first-class matches, those engaged at Eastbourne were able to enjoy—if enjoy is the word—a whole afternoon’s cricket, the game begin- ing at about a quarter-past two, when the Australians went in first. As the wicket was very slow and the bowling not of the v.^ry highest-class, Trumper pro­ ceeded to play a brilliant game, making his runs very quickly after Duff had been disposed of for one run. In partnership Hill and Trumper put on 41 in half- an-hour. Trumper was then yorked. Hill also made the best of his opportunities, hitting whenever the least chance offered itself, but also shewing his usual sound defence. He remained until the total was 92 of which he had just made half. After this there was somewhat of a surprise, for tbe remaining Australian batsmen could do very little with the bowling of W ilson and Arnold. Fifty minutes remained for the scratch eleven to play before stumps were drawn, and they made rather a mess of it. The cricket was of the very slowest kind, for Abel, while he never seemed uncomfortable, vas in no mood to hurry, and the other men who went in were at their wits’ end to know how to keep up their wickets, so admirable was the bowling of TrumMe. One after another, with the exception of Abel, they fell for either a duck’s egg or a single, Troup and Thompson taking a', out twenty minutes each for their t-hateoi the runs, ard when time was up five wickets had fallen for 29 runs, of which 26 were claimed by Abel, who, in the latter part of his ioniDgs, hit five 4’s ; he was still unconquered. It was quite a nice day on Tuesday, and witn a bright sun the wicket was difficult. Abel did not last much longer, tu t he had done far more than his share of the work when he was out for 32. Seven wickets were do*n for 45, when Jessop was joined by Craw­ ford. and for once the Australian bowlinj* was made to look cheap. For once, also, Je.'Sop vas quite out-Jessoped, and although he made his runs quickly and by daring methods. Crawford left him far behind. The partnership produced 90 runs ia f rty minutes. Crawford was the first to go, his delightful innings of 67 having included eight fours, and only three singles. Seldom has Australian bow.ing been treated in such a vig« rous manner. Jessop soon followed Crawford, after tatting fifty minutes for his 37. The end soon c»me after ihi*. Thinks to the splendid stand by the two amateurs, the Australims only had a lead of 16. but before stumps were drawn they had increased this to 120, ana sti 1 hud seven wickets in hand, so that another easy victory seemed in store for them. Hill and Gregory were both in great form, and their unfinishe l partnership produced 64 runs in forty minutes. Fourteen runs had been added to this yesterday when Jessop vith a remarkable throw ran out Hill. Gregory still showed fine form, but for the mcst pait the Australians could make nothing of the bowling. Hopkins and Kelly made a very useful stand. Gregory’s 71, out of 118, was put together in an hour and twenty-five minutes. The South with 202 to win never seemed like making a fight, and from first to last the bowlers were almost irresistible.

Played at Brighton on June 16, 17, and 18. Notts won by an innings and 72 runs. There was no play in this match on Monday, and after heavy rain for days the wicket was very difficult indeed on the next morning when 8ussex went to the wickets. Ranjiteinhji was not playing, and Fiy did not go in first as usual, Relf accompanying Yine in his place. These two men made a fair start, and then came a most disheartening collapse, which con­ tinued right through the innings. Wass brought about the chief destruction. It may be imagined tin t the Notts men, having seen such an unfortunate disp’ay against their bowling, did not enter upon their own innings with much confidence, but the bow­ ling proved to have no terrors for Jones and Iremonger, who, at lunch time, had scored 61 without being separated. After lunch things did not tro quite so well. Jones and Iremonger put on 82 in fifty-five m i­ nutes before being parted ; they evidently judged from the downfall of Sussex that a bold game was likely to have the best results. Until the last two men made a valuable btand, Shrewsbury alone made any prolonged resistance to the bowling; as usual he seemed quite comfortable. W ith a balance of 134 against them, Sussex again fared badly, and when stumps were c*rawn, the total was only 57 for the loss of seven wickets, so that they were still 77 behind. Fry was again unfortunate. The match was finished in a few minutes yestrrday morning. S ussex . First innings.
