In connection with the match between Victoria and Lord Hawke’s team, the Sydney Referee says:— “ It is interesting to look back on the matches played by Victoria against the many English teams that came out either in search of, or to preserve, ‘ The Ashes.’ Maclaren’g team last season won both matches against Victoria, captained by J. Worn.ll, the first by 118 runs, with Maclaren himself standing out owing to a touch of rheu matism and the fact of the weather being moist. In the return match the English men won by eight wickets, Maclaren making 100 out of 298. and Collins then, as now, being the most successful Vic torian bowler with five for 52. Stoddart’s second team also won both matches sgainst Victoria, then captained by G. H. S. Trott. In the first the English men were 56 runs behind on the first innings, and had to get 304 to win, in which they succe<ded by two wickets, a fine innings for 128 not out by J. R. Mason and sound batting by Ranjittinhji for 64 and Storer for 47 being the princi pal factors. In the second match the Englishmen were 50 runs behind on the first innings, Victoria getting 328 against 278, but Richardson bowled with great deadliness in the second innings and the Englishmen won by seven wickets. Hugh Trumble got 107 in the first innings, Ranjitsinbji 61 and 61 not out and Haj - ward 96 and 39 not out. Victoria’s record against English teams hardly does justice to the strength of Victorian cricket within the last 25 years, as of the 20 eleven a-side matches played (exclud ing the latest), 16 were won by the Englishmen, three by Victoria, and one drawn. The Victorian wins were agninst Lord Hairis’ team in 1879 (first match), the Hon. Ivo Bligh’s team in 1883 (second match) and Stoddart’s first team in 1895 (second match).” GREEN JACKETS C.C.
