Cricket 1905

32 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. F eb . 23, 1905. IN T E R S rA T E C R ICK E T IN A U S T R A L IA . NEW SOUTH WALES v. VICTORIA (Return). Played at Sydney on Jan. 27, 28, 30, 31 and Feb. 1. New South. Wales won by 199 runs. On the Friday, when this match began, New South Wales made 240 runs for four wickets, play being interrupted by rain after luncheon for a couple of hours. Trumper played a faultless game, and Noble shared the honours of the day with him. On the Saturday, Gregory, who was not out 13 over­ night, increased his score by 27, and Kelly and Waddy distinguished themselves. Victoria had to face a large total, but before stumps were drawn they were in a fairly good position with 126 for two wickets, Giller being not out 45. Ransford made some fine hits in his 62. Rain fell early on the Monday morning, and Victoria had to bat on a wet but not difficult wicket. They did so well that when rain stopped further play at a little before four o’clock they had scored 310 for six wickets. Giller was still unconquered with 113 to his credit, while Armstrong plaj^ed a capital innings. The remaining four wickets fell on the next morning for the addition of 35 runs, Giller being run out for 125, an innings which included two 5’s and sixteen 4’s. Noble played a splendid game when New South Wales went in again with a lead of 76, but there was no outstanding innings besides his 112. Victoria had to make 331 runs, a task which after so much rain was by no means easy. When stumps were drawn they were in a very discouraging po-ition, for they had lost three wickets for 50 runs. On the following day R msford, who had retired hurt on the previous evening, returned to the wicket, but only increased his score by three runs, and n »body except Carkeek did anything of importance, so th*t New South Wales won with the greatest ease.

D e a r S i r , — I trust that Mr. Knap- man’s letter on “ First-class Cricket on Saturdays ” will be instrumental in gain­ ing a well-deserved alteration, viz.: the starting of county and other first-class cricket matches on Saturdays and Wed­ nesdays in lieu of Mondays and Thurs­ days. I would draw your attention to a mistake on the part of your corres­ pondent. He says that in Australia many matches commence on a Saturday. Allow me to inform you that club cricket is played on Saturdays only. From the clubs are picked members of the State elevens, and from the State elevens members of the Australia X I. Inter­ state and International contests always start on a Friday.—Yours truly, J. H. F k r g u so n . L ith a lla n Hous°, Culinbburgh, Fife, N.B. February 5th, 1905. [Inter-state matches do not always begin on a Friday. Thus the list Victoria v. New South Wales match at Melbourne began on Saturday, December 24th, while Sjuth Australia v.
