A p r il i 4 , i g i o CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 5 5 CRICKET IN AU STRAL IA . TASMANIA v. NEW SOUTH WALES. Played at Hobart on February 25 and 26, New South Wales won by 333 runs. The fact that no Launccston player took part in this match, and that Dodds and Facy were on tour with the Australian team, naturally caused less interest to centre in the fixture than would have been the case otherwise. The home side were quite out classed and severely beaten. The veteran Burn made the highest score in each innings and alone faced Scott with much confidence : the fast bowler took ten wickets for 69 runs. Barbour hit well all round in his second innings, but in scoring 160 out of 345 in 160 minutes was missed four times—when 50, 94, 151 and 155 : he hit twenty 4’s. Waddy was very vigorous, scoring his 65 out of 92 added for the second wicket with Barbour in 32 minutes : his chief hits were a 6 and twelve 4’s. New South Wales m ide 200 in 97 minutes, 300 in two hours and a-quarter, 400 in 192 minutes, and, in all, 448 in three hours and a-half. Score and analysis :— N ew S outh W ales . First innings. A.

Victoria won by an innings and 5 runs. After dismissing the home side for 134, Victoria established a lead of over 400 and eventually won by an innings. McKenzie, hitting five 6 ’s, twenty 4 ’s and six 3's, scored 211 of the 358 runs added with Kortlang for the second wicket in 227 minutes : he made 50 in 71 minutes, 100 in 126, 150 in 180 and 200 in 211 , and, although he played an aggressive game, showed good judgment in picking the right ball to hit. Kortlang scored 197 out of 496 in 328 minutes by a variety of strokes and hit twenty 4’s and six 3’s. Owing to a severe cold Saunders was unable to bat or to bowl in the second innings of the home side. Everything, when Western Australia faced their uphill task, was dwarfed by the batting of Parker, who scored 47 off the first five overs pent down by Hart, a left-hander : ho made all the first 32 runs obtained by the side, and when he had scorcd 50 out of 60 in 26 minutes Howard had made only 2. The latter played such a stone-wall game that of the 82 runs made for the first wicket in 45 minutes his share was only 5. T. Hoguo helped to add 51 for the second wicket, and Parker himself was third out, for 117 out of 133 in 82 minutes. The latter made runs all round the wicket, hit twenty- two 4’s and timed the ball admirably : when 8 -*, however, he was missed at the wickct off McKenzie. This innings was described as an exhibition of brilliant batting which had probably never been excelled on the Perth ground. T. Hogue and Carter added 93 for the third wicket, Rowe and Christian 73 for the fifth and the latter and Munro 58 for the ninth. Christian made 97 out of 157 in 106 minutes by strokes which were perfectly timed and crisp and full of vigour: he hit two 6 ’s, a 5 and sixteen 4's. Kenny bowled 8 overs for 27 runs and fivo wickets on the last day, when play did not commcnce until two o’clock, “ to give the holiday people a cliancc of being present.” 1,121 runs were made in the match in fifteen hours and a-quarter, and the receipts amounted to £115.

Played at Fremantle on March 5, 7 and 8 Western Australia won by 79 runs. The wicket favoured the bowlers to such an extent on the first day that twenty wickets went down for 183 runs, the home side, when play ceased, being nine runs on with all their wickets in hand. The West Australians’ innings lasted 116 minutes and contained only one boundary, and that an overthrow —to Howard. Hogue batted 81 minutes for 23, and, the fifth, sixth and seventh wickets going down at 70, the last six of the side fell for 19. Kortlang and Stuckey made 33 for Victoria’s first wicket, but the others did little against Selk and the innings, after lasting 112 minutes, closed for 87. Selk bowled admirably and was always difficult: his success was, naturally, very popular. Three times during the innings "the wickets fell in pairs, the third and fourth going down at 64, the fifth and sixth at 77, and tl.e ninlh and tenth at 87. In the second innings of the home side Hogue, who hit four 4’s, scorcd 64 out of 129 in 138 minutes : he made 52 for the first wicket with Howard and 63 for the third with Parker who, hitting five 4’s, made 40 of the number in 37 minutes. Anderson and Evans after­ wards put on 32 for the ninth wicket and the latter and Selk 35 (in 19 minutes) for the tenth. The innings lasted 20S minutes. Set 220 to win, Victoria were always playing an uphill game. They lost lloran at 5, McKenzie at 12, Lampard at 14, and had six men out for 62. Kortlang went in upon the fall of the fourth wicket, at 34, and found his most useful partners in Johnstone, Kyle and Saunders, who helped to add 42 for the seventh wicket, 19 for the eighth, and 14 for the tenth respectively. The whole side were dismissed in 140 minutes, leaving Western Australia M.ccestful by 79 runs. Kortlang gavo a masterly display and carried out his bat for 72 made out of 106 in 85 minutes: he hit eight 4’s and gave no chance. Selk^again bowled well, and mdde his figures for the match thirteen wickets for 77 runs. Score and analysis:— W estern A ustralia . First innings. Second innings. C.
