Cricket 1911

D ecember 23, 1911. RUGBY FOOTBALL AND CRICKET. 601 appearance as an Australian representative; the New South Wales captain, though he did not display the dash and abandon shown against South Africa, played very fine cricket; and the Austro-Philadelphian bothered the batsmen all along, and came out with the splendid analysis of 12 wickets for 175 runs. None of our men failed entirely, and the rubber is not yet over. The statement that Mr. Warner may after all play in the fifth test is a real silver lining to the black cloud. T h e following are some of the latest hundreds obtained in minor cricket:— Oct. 28.—M. A. Noble, Paddington v. North Sydney ... ,, 28.—A. Diamond, Burwood v. Central Cumberland ,, 28.—W .

As is usual, public school cricket has received considerable attention, and more space has been given than hitherto to the doings of club cricketers. There are several other interesting articles in the volume, which contains over 220 pages and is splendid value for sixpence. *Ayres’ Cricket Companion, 1912. Edited by W. R. Weir. London : F. H. Ayres, 111, Aldersgate Street, E.C. Price 6d. CRICKET IN AUSTRAL IA . SOUTH AUSTRALIA v. VICTORIA. Played at Adelaide on November 3, 4, 6 and 7 and won by Victoria’ by four wickets. It was owing very largely to a stand of 115 by Mayne and Stirling that South Australia were able to make 305 after having six men out for 172. The former batted just over three hours, gave no chance, and hit a 6 and four 4’s. Seitz batted capitally when the visitors went in, and with Smith put on 68 and with Ransford 58, but the last five wickets fell for 25. Crawford’s batting dwarfed everything else in the second innings of the home side. During the two hours 40 minutes he was in he made 126 out of 190, hit a 6 and eighteen 4’s, and combined sound defence with hard hitting. Stirling, when bowled by Macrow, had his oil stump broken. Set 337 to win, the Victorians succeeded, owing in a great measure to Seitz, who played another fine game. His 107 was a sound piece of batting without a flaw, which lasted four hours and contained ten 4’s. Ransford was seen at his best, and in scoring 72 of the 107 put on in less than 70 minutes for the second wicket played a very bright game. He hit eight 4’s. Score and analysis First innings.

Played at Sydney on November 3, 4 and 6 and won by New South Wales by an innings and 56 runs. Winning the toss, the home side made 431 for seven wickets on the first day. They were given a good start by Bardsley and Trumper, who put up 100 for the first wicket in 71 ‘ minutes, obtaining the second fifty in 22, and by Bardsley and Macartney, who added 92 for the second. The last- named, missed when 3, scored 122 ont of 170 in 95 minutes by brilliant cricket: he hit a 6 and twenty-one 4’s and in partnership with Gregory put on 78. The stand for the eighth wicket realised 86, and the total reached 498. The sole feature of the Queensland first innings was the batting of Fennelly, who made his 71 out of 135 in 126 minutes without a mistake. In the follow-on the player named and Jennings set up a record for Queensland by scoring 184 for the first wicket. The runs were obtained in an hour and a-quarter, and both men played faultless cricket. Fennelly hit fourteen 4’s and Jennings, whose 123 were made out of 233 in 145 minutes, nineteen. Cotter, in the last ten overs he sent down, took six wickets for 25 runs. Score and analysis :— N ew S o u th W a le s. V. T. Trumper, c Cook, b Redgrave 59 W . Bardsley, c Sims, b Lewis ... 59 C. G.
