Cricket 1909

3° CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. F e b . 25, 1909. of the other two Colonies, was decidedly inferior to both iu the field. Trinidad were able to command the best bowling. The scores follow :— BARBADOS v. DEMERARA. Played at Kensington on January 13, 11, and 15. Barbados won by nine wickets. Abraham and S’now put on 07 for the second wicket of Demerara after Hunte had been bowled ere a run was made, but of the others only Butts and Downer offered much resistance. Although Challenor and C. A. Browne scored well, everything in the Bari-ados innings was dwarfed by the latting.r f Goodman, who made his ISO out of 330 in two hundred and fifty minutes. This is the highest individual score made in these matches, exceeding G. B. Y. Cox’s 101 v. Trinidad in 1807. Demcrara made only 103 when they went in the second time, and were beaten by nine wickets. Score and analysis :— D em erara First innings. F. Abraham, c Goodman, b C. R. Browne ...............(34 R.

Played at Kensington on January 18, 19, 20, and 21. Barbados won by five wickets. Trinidad, accustomed to play on matting, gave a disappointing display, and but for a fine not out innings by Learmond would have fared very badly. Hector’s fast bowling quickly accounted for a couple of wickets, but Goodman made a resolute stand and, although playing a-very patient game, rendered his side capital service. " hen Trinidad went in the second tim e Learmondand Hart put 011 HI together in eighty minutes after two wickets had fallen for 15. The last-named was eighth out for 147, which took two hundred and thirty minutes to make and contained a couple of chances—at 50 and 124. Barbados obtained the necessary 177 runs for the loss of five wicket-, Austin making SI out of 90 in 43 minutes. Score and analysis :— T r in id a d . First inninps C. Rogers,c Archer,bWorme 0 N.

CRICKET IN NEW ZEALAND. CANTERBURY v. WELLINGTON. Played at Christchurch on December 25, 26, and 28. Canterbury won by 212 runs. Wellington, who sustained a very heavy reverse, were handicapped in being obliged to enter the field without Upham, Arnold Williams, and Tucker, but the home side showed the better cricket throughout and deserved their success. There were two long partnerships in Canterbury’s first innings, Reese and Patrick adding 77 for the third wicket and Anthony and Ridley 141 for the fifth. Reese played a sound game but was overshadowed by Anthony, who hit well all round the wicket and made his 104 out of 232 in one hundred and twenty-five minutes without a chance. Connelly bowled excellently, and did well to take six wickets for 103 runs in a total of 3S8. As the result of consistent batting the visitors made 220 in their first innings, the feature of which was the display by Bruce, who made 05 of the last 130 runs scored in ninety-five minutes by faultless cricket and carried out his bat; he was well supported by Cobcroft, with whom he put 011 47 for the seventh wicket. Although Canterbury led by 108 they elected to go in again rather than compel their opponents to follow-on, and, as events proved, the policy was fully justified. Reese again showed fine form, and in partnership with Humphreys added 88 for the fourth wicket. The Wellington batting broke down rather badly in the final stage of the game and, as already stated, Canterbury were left very easy winners. Cobcroft showed very strong defence, and Midlane, after batting for half an-hour, carried out his bat without a run. Score and analysis:— C a n te r b u r y . First innings. B. B.
