66 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A p r i l 2 1 , 1 9 1 0 . E N G L ISH CK ICKETERS PORTUGAL . {Continuedfrom page 61.) IN An English cricket team, under the captaincy of Mr. H. D. Swan, of the Essex County C.C , lias recently returned from a short tour in Portugal, after a most enjoy- ab'e trip. They opened their tour in Oporto, where they played three matches against the local club, two of which were won, and one drawn. The Oporto club are fortunate in having a grass wicket to play upon. Ou the whole it plays extremely well. One of their principal players is Mr. P. J. Arnall, the old Leicestershire cricketer, who is by far their best bowler and met with a considerable measure of success against the visiting side. After their matches in Oporto the team continueJ their tour to Lisbon. The Lisbon ground is situated at Cruz Quebrada, about five or six miles from the centre of the city, bat it can easily be reached by train. The wicket here is a matting one, stretched over a large patch of gravel, and is naturally very fast. The glare on the ground on a sunny day is very puzzling to anyone not accus­ tomed to it. The team played two matches apainst the Lisbon Club, and both games were left drawn, owing to the heavy scoring. The Lisbon side has recently been strength­ ened by the inclusion of the Hon. M. Herbert, of Somerset, who is now resident out there, being attached to the British Legation. The team also visited Calcavellos, where they played the Eastern Telegraph Company and won easily. They concluded their tour with a two-day match against a team representing All Portugal, although unfortunately none of the Oporto players was available, the team comprising seven men from the Lisbon Club and four from Carcavellos. The tourists had the satisfaction of winning this match by ten wickets, thus bringing to a finish a series of seven matches, the full scores of which have alieady been published in this paper. In addition to playing cricket, the members of the team had the opportunity of enjoying some of the beautiful scenery to be found in Portugal, notably at Bussaco and Cintra. They received a warm welcome everywhere on their tour, and will never forget the kind­ ness and hospitality which was shown them during their visit. Several dinners and dances were given in their honour, including a ball at the British Legation, to which they were kindly invited by Sir Francis and Lady Villiers. The team had a most enthusiastic send-off from Lisbon on April 9th, when they took their departure by the Booth Line steamer Ambrose. It is hoped that in future Portugal may be visited regularly by teams from England : they would always be as­ sured of a hearty welcome from their fellow- countrymen out there. It might be possible to extend another tour to Gibraltar. BATTING AVERAGES. Matches played, 7 : Won 4, drawn 3. Times Most not out. in an Total inns. Runs. P. A. Perrin . ... 8 1 104* 317 C. P.

After the English team had concluded their tour four members, including the captain, went on to Rhodesia with seven South African players and played three games — at Bulawayo, Gwelo and Salisbury. In the present match the home side won the toss and were dismissed on a good wicket for 164. Taberer played a bright game and of the 57 runs added for the third wicket in three quarters of an hour with Robinson claimed 45 : he hit five 4’s and a 3. Iiobinson was very steady and made only 20 of the first 75 runs in an hour and a-quarter. Keigwin and P. Henwood put on 39 for the ninth wicket, and the latter and Stephenson 25 for the last. Keigwin, who had not recovered from the effects of a fever, hit a 5 and five 4’s. The visitors lost Fane, Kaye and Bird for 69, after which Zulch and Cook, the left-handed batsman of the Border team, put on 190 together in 130 minutes. Cook, who made 101 of the number, hit thirteen 4’s, but was missed at square-leg when 4. Lewis did nothing, but Schwarz helped to add 107 for the sixth wicket in 55 minutes. Zulch was then caught for 168 made out of 366 in 280 m inutes: he hit twenty-four 4’s, and gave a couple of chances. Schwarz played bright cricket for 63, and with eight wickets down for 436 the innings was declared. In Rhodesia’s second innings Taberer made 42 of the 59 runs added with Keigwin for the fifth wicket in 40 m inutes: ho hit a 6 and five 4’s. Keigwin batted 67 minutes for 16.
