Cricket 1909

3 2 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. F eb . 25, 1909. had much to do with winning him a place in the team for England. For the fifth time in succession Victoria won at Melbourne in the Christmas match of 1893. But the margin of victory was narrow—only three wickets ; and the fight was a stern one to the end. The bowlers had something of an advantage through the greater part of the match ; and the scoring of the visitors was terribly jslow. They made 319 runs off 1,246 balls, whereas Victoria scored 316 off 843, a very marked difference. Moses (71) in the first innings and Murdoch, who was back in Australia on a visit, (64 not out), in the second were both extremely care­ ful. Iredale made 27 and 37; the only other decent score on the part of the Sydney side was Alec Mackenzie’s 33 in the second innings. Harry Trott and Graham were the bright particular stars for Victoria ; and their scores of 54 and 68 respectively in the last innings of the game decided the result. J. H. Stuckey, appearing in the series for the first time, had a brace of 29’s to his credit; Bruce made 26, Worrall 21 in the first innings, Harry 22 in the second. Frank Laver and Charles (“ Lightning” ) McLeod played their first match against New South Wales in company; but McLeod’s elder brother, Robert, was a notable absentee. The Terror (ten for 142) was the most successful bowler in the game. Andrew Newell (who lately so mysteriously dis­ appeared) took five for 78, also for the beaten side. He was another new man in these matches. For the victors Trott had seven for 85, Trumble four for 61, Carlton four for 92. Three batsmen were run out in New South Wales’s first. (To be continued.) A FAMILY MATCH. At Arthur’s Creek, Victoria, on January 2nd, eleven Bassetts beat a team representing the sur­ rounding district by 10 runs. The family eleven consisted of Mr. Bassett, eight of his sons, and two grandsons. Score:— T he B assett F a m ily . R. Bassett, sen.,bG ib­ son ......................... 0 Jno.
