Played at Johannesburg on December 27. 28, 29 and 30. The Transvaal won by 308 runs. Very great interest centred in this match, as is evident from the fact that over 10,000 persons, including Lord Methuen, the Commander-in-Chief of the South African Forces, were present 011 the opening day. Play commenced on a wicket which helped the bowlers somewhat, but the first wicket fell owing to bad judgment in running, Zulch being sent back at 4. Faulkner hit well upon joining Strieker, who played steadily, and 58 were added before the latter was caught at the wicket. Faulk­ ner’s 46 was a sound innings marked by good cutting: he was third out, at 85. Snooke and White took the score to 138—53 for the wicket—but at that total Thompson dismissed the latter and Sinclair with consecutive balls. Neither Moulder nor Vogler reached double-figures, and at 178 Snooke was bowled by Thompson for 59, made out of 110 in two hours. He made his runs all round the wicket and hit eight 4’s, but was missed when 38. The rest of the innings was noteworthy for a free-hitting display on the part of Schwarz, who monopolised the scoring to such an extent that he made 50 of the 09 runs obtained during the sixty-five minutes he was in : he hit seven 4’s and in partnership with Campbell added 64 for the ninth wicket. The last stand realised 18, and the total reached 260- a very satisfactory one in the circumstances. Before stumps were drawn England scored 42 for the loss of nobbs, who was lbw at 37. On the second day the play was watched by Lord Selborne, the High Commissioner of South Africa, and Sir H. Goold- Adams, Governor of the Orange River Colony. With only 9 added Rhodes was bowled, and at 53 Denton was caught off Vogler. Woolley stayed with Fane whilst 22 were added, but when Thompson left half the side were out for 76. Bird and Fane then made the desired stand, the former playing freely after a steady start. The sixth wicket put on 59, and then Fane was out for a most valuable innings of 18, made out of 84 in eighty-five minutes. The good work was continued by Levcson-Gower, who stayed whilst 42 were added for the seventh wicket. The player named left at 177, and five later Bird was bowled for a flawless innings of 56, made out of 106 in 95 minutes : his chief hits were nine 4’s. After he left the end soon came, leaving the home side with a lead of 64. The advantage held by the Transvaal was increased by Zulch and Strieker, who put on 77 together in 95 minutes for the first wicket when the side went in for the second time. Both men played well, as did White, Faulkner and Snooke. At the close of the day the Transvaal, with seven wickets in hand, were 220 runs on. The association of Faulkner and Snooke gave the Englishmen much trouble, for it resulted in 125 being put on for the fourth wicket. Snooke, who had been let off when 37, was then caught for 64 made out of 153 in 130 minutes : he hit ten 4’s, the majority of them cuts, and for the second time in the match exceeded 50. Sinclair did little, but Moulder, who has played for Surrey, helped to add 56 for the sixth wicket, which fell at 339. Then followed a period during which Simpson-Hayward’s lobs proved so successful that the ninth wicket went down at 376. Floquet kept Faulkner partner whilst 45 were added without further loss and then the innings was declared closed, leaving the visitors 486 to make. Faulkner carried out his bat for 148 made out of 292 in just under four hours : he hit a 6 and eighteen 4’s and cut and drove well, but was missed five times—when 9, 59 (twice), 120 and 142. The total of 421 for nine wickets took six hours and ten minutes to compile. The wicket-keeping was good, but the catching of the other fieldsmen was poor. England started their heavy task fairly satisf ctorily, Hobbs and Rhodes making 45 for the first wicket and the latter and Denton 44 for the second. Fane, however, was caught at 113 and upon Wool ey’s retirement at 125 play ceased for the day, leaving the side still 361 to make. The visitors suffered a heavy defeat on the fourth day, their last six wickets going down on a good pitch for 52 runs before Faulkner and Vogler. Denton hit a 6 and seven 4’s in making 63 out of 119 in 85 minutes without a mistake, but of the others only Bird gave him much support. Faulkner had a great deal to do with the success of his side, seeing that he made 194 runs for once out and took five wickets. Score and analysis :— T ransvaal . First innings. L.
