354 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 2 5 , 1 9 1 0 . Bide by two wickets. On three subsequent occasions he visited this country, taking 138 wickets for the great team of 1882, notwith­ standing that owing to a strain his services were not available after August 12th, and 132 for the tide which came over two years later. In 1886, by which time he had come on very much as a batsman, he was not up to his previous standard with the ball; still, in addition to scoring 1,028 runs with an average of nineteen in eleven a side matches, he took 106 wickets for slightly over twenty- one runs each — figures, however, which enabled Giffen, Spofforth, Garrett and Evans to rank above him in the averages. As a batsman Palmer was often most useful, but it must be acknowledged that in England be never did quite so well as was expected. One of his earliest successes with the bat was in the great run-getting match at Sydney in February 1882, when Victoria, although scoring 315 and 322, were beaten by an innings and 138 runs : he carried out his bat for 76 in the first innings and in partnership with W. H. Cooper, the big leg- break bowier, who made 29, put on 100 for the last wicket. His highest score in first- class cricket was 113 for Smokers v. Non- Smokers at East Melbourne in March, 1887, and in England 94 v. Yorkshire at Sheffield, in 1886, off the bowling of Bates, Emmett, Peate, Peel, Preston, Ulyett and Wade. Among Palmer’s best performances with the ball in England may be mentioned the following:— Year. v. Derbyshire, at Derby ......... 1880 v. Yorkshire, at Dewsbury......... 1880 v.
