ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN v. EIGHTEEN

OF CANTERBURY.

First Day—February 20.

The following is the continuation of our report from the time of going to press yes terday : Hill now made the hit of the day by putting Frith to leg for 4, for which he received loud cheers. Lillywhite then drove Sweet for I. Frith, with the first ball in his next over, clean bowled him —30—9—4. Southerton, the last man, now came to do battle for the Eleven. He received the remainder of Frith’s over, which was also a maiden. Hill now returned one to Sweet, but it was too hard to hold. The batsmen then ran a pretty short run, which they just got. Hill now hit Frith to leg for 3 ; and then hit Sweet for a 2 and a I. A bit of a mull here took place, which saved Hill his wicket. Frith now treated Hill to a maiden, which he played very carefully. A run was now scored by an overthrow from Sccretan, which was thrown to the wicket rather high. Another maiden from Frith followed ; Sweet doing the same. Southerton here put Frith to the oif for 1, Hill likewise putting him to the slips for another. The field was now drawn in a little, as the players kept stealing short runs. Hill drove Sweet for a single, and in Frith’s next he put one behind the wickets for 1, and then got another in the same manner. Southerton now drove Sweet for 2 ; 50 now appearing on the board. Southerton now cut Sweet’s last ball for a single. Two leg byes were scored off Frith’s bowling Sweet now went at it and bowled a maiden to Hill, Frith following suit. Hill cut Sweet’s second hapd for one, which was well stopped by Sampson. Frith then sent down another maiden and Southerton hit Sweet for 3, and, 6'o showed on the board. Frith again repeated his last performance. Fuller now went on at Sweet’s end, and off the second ball Hill got 1, and the third and fourth ball each added one to the total. Hill got one off Frith, which ought to have been saved by Moore. Fuller, feeling more at home after his first over, sent down a maiden, and Frith sent down another. Hill now hit Fuller to leg for 3, which was rather close, Southerton cutting him for 1. Hill cut Frith’s first for 1, and at his third he let out at, but failed to reach it. Off Fuller’s second ball, in the next over, Hill was run out in attempting a short one. The innings closed for the small score of 70, of which Hill contributed 23 by good all round play.

At live minutes to five the Eleven took the field, the positions being as follows :—Shaw, bowler and slip ; Ulyett, slip and bowler; Lillywhite, longstop and mid on ; Armitage, short leg and long stop ; Jupp, wicketkeeper ; Hill, mid on and short leg ; Greenwood, long on and long slip; Charlwood, long off and long leg ; Southerton, short slip and raid off; Emmett, point , Selby, coverpoint. Leach and Corfe were deputed to take the wickets for Canterbury, Shaw opened on Leach from the south end, which was a maiden. Ulyett then went on, and his last ball Corfe put to leg for 4, which was acknowledged all round the ground. Leach got Shaw’s, and Corfe got the remainder. Two maidens followed. In Ulyett’s next two singles were made; but Corfe, in playing Shaw’s third ball, stepped out to it, and failing to get back in time lost his wicket as a consequence— 7—l—s. Watson (left baud) took the wicket aud received the last ball of Shaw’s over, which he did not seem to care about. Ulyett bowled a maiden, but off Shaw’s second ball Watson scored 2. Leacb scored 1 off Ulyett’s first in the slips, no other run being scored; he then played a fine maiden from Shaw. Ulyett’s first scored a leg bye—lo now appeared on the board. Shaw treated Watson to a maiden, aud Ulyett ditto to Leach, one or two of them being well played. After another maiden from Shaw, Leach played Ulyett’s second ball nicely into the slips, but no results followed. The next proved too much for him, and ho seemed quite astonished to sea his stumps scattered — 11—2—30. Stevens, the next player, took guard to receive Ulyett’s last, which he played. Watson now sent one of them to the off, which was returned to the wicket and missed, and the batsmen ran 2 for it. Watson scored another single with a drive. After another maiden from Ulyett, Shaw opened on Stevens, who played them very well, an appeal on the last ball being “not out.” Watson scored I off Ulyett’s last, the samebatsmangetting another single off Shaw. Ulyett again sent down a maiden. Stevens hit Shaw’s first for 1, and the second, third and fourth he played very carefully. He snicked Uiyett’s last for 2, Shaw following with a maiden. Stevens then played an over from Ulyett, and Watson snicked Shaw behind the wicket for 2, but the next one cleaned bowled him—21 —3—29. Watson played a very careful and patient innings for his score. Ollivier now took guard for Shaw’s last ball, which he put to leg for 1; this brought him to face Ulyett, who treated him to a maiden; Shaw followed him with another. Ulyett with bis first ball in the next over clean bowled Ollivier with a full pitch—22 —4— 1. God by was the mxt to try and stop the slaughter, and a leg bye was his first attempt. Stevens put Ulyett at last away for 1, and also Shaw’s third for the same number. He then cut Ulyett’s last ball for 2, which was soon returned by Selby. It was a remarkably well played ball. The two kept together till time was called, when the score stood 27, with the loss of four wickets. Second Day—February 27. There was a pretty large attendance today to witness the commencement of the second day’s play. The team arrived shortly before twelve o’clock, being driven up by Mr Milctt. The weather was not so pleasant as yesterday, and the north-west wind made it rather warm work for the field and batsmen. Both teams practised batting for a abort time, so as to feel themselves a little before starting. Twelve was the hour appointed for a start, but it was 12 39 before the teams showed on the ground, and some complaints were made as to the delay in starting. Stevens and Godby, the two not out's of yesterday, went to the wickets to the bowling of Ulyett and Shaw. At the start the board showed 27—4—1. Ulyett led off from the south end, Stevens receiving the first ball. Ulyett’s second Stevens chopped for 1, Shaw went on at the north end, Stevens cutting his second fori. Ulyett’s second over was a maiden, as also was Shaw’s. Another maiden followed from Ulyett, the batsmen playing very carefully. Godby cut Shaw’s last very nicely, but it was returned too quick to allow of any score, Stevens received Ulyett’a last in the ribs, which he did not seem to relish. This was also a maiden. Godby then drove Shaw for I_3o now showed on the board Ulyett in his first ball of the next over Lowed Qtdby’s leg stump—3o—s—l, Secretan now took Godby’s place to receive the remainder of the over, which he did in a very nice manner ; Sevens cut Shaw’s first for a single; Secretan then cut the same bowler for 3, for which he received a round of applause; Secretan received a maiden from Ulyett. the last ball being put to the off. Off Shaw’s second Stevens got 1, but his third ball pleaned bowled Secretan—3p—fi—3. Alpe s the next man for the Eighteen, wont to the wicket to receive Shaw’s last, which he poked into Emmett’s hands at point—35 —7 —o. Moore then went in, Stevens hit Uiyett for 1, Moore doing the same off his next. Moore in Shaw’s next over was clean bowled, having only scored 1. It is but fair to state that he was playing with a very bad thumb, the effects of an accident in the practice on Saturday—37—B—l, Sweet put in an appearance, letting out at Shaw’s second, and the third seemed to be pretty close, but the fourth there was no doubt about, as it sent his sticks all out—37—9—o. Neilson then joined Stevens, the latter playing a maiden from Ulyett, and Neilson played a maiden from Shaw. Stevens in playing Uiyett’a third ball put it iuco Lillywhite's hands. He however played remarkably well lor his double —37—10—10, Ashby took the vacant wicket. Neilson off Shaw’s last, snicked him for 1 behind the wicket. Neilson then faced Ulyett for the first time, and the second ball he put behind for I, Ashby receiving the other two balls. Hopes were entertained that the two batsmen would stay the stampede for a little. Ashby then hit Ulyett for 1, Neilson doing the same—4o—lo—lo. Ulyett then clean bowled Ashby—4l—ll—l, T. li. Moore went in to finish the over, and Neilson put one behind, for which they ran ' 1, a yory dose one. UlyeW's hat ball proved 100. much for Neilson, as it shattered his timber —13—12 —4.

Through a break in the game taking place, about ten minutes were lost iu clearing the ground again. Sampson then took bis place at the creaso. Moore then put Shaw to leg for I, this being his first scose. Sampson out Shaw’s next for 3, which was loudly cheered, and Dlyott sent down a maiden to Sampson, every hall appearing to he well on. Moore then drove Shaw’s last for 2, Sampson driving Ulyett’s first for 2—soup— and his third he put to leg for 3 in beautiful style, amid cheers all round. Ulyett then tried to get the batsmen to run for ooa ofi him, but they wisely declined.

Sampson put Shaw’s first to leg for 2, and was again loudly cheered A bye off Ulyett’a last finished the over. Moore got 1 in the slips off Shaw’s first hall; he then gave Sampson a head ball, which he put nicely away for a single; Ulyett sent down a maiden, two of which Sampson played very well indeed into the slips, but they were returned too quick for the batsmen. Another maiden followed from Shaw, and Sampson put Ulyett’s second away for I, Moore playing the other two very well with a good straight bat. Shaw’s second ball cleaned bowled Sampson, and he retired amid cheers. Hisinning was a very lively one—s9—l3 —12. E. Fowler (the captain) was clean bowled by Shaw’s next ball —59—14 D’Emden, the fifteenth man, now came to the wicket, and took Shaw’s last ball. Dlyett’s second ball clean boiled Moore—--59—15—4, Fuller, the last man but one, went in, but it looked rather black against our men reaching the Eleven’s score. A leg bye was run off Ulyett’s last—6o up. Puller drove Shaw’s first for 1, and the third D’fimden played hard to the off, but without result. A leg bye was now run off Ulyett, Puller drove Shaw hard for 2, which was an easy 3, He then cut one of Shaw’s, and D’Emden, not going to hia call, the former was run out —64—16—3 —and Frith appeared as the last man of the team. D’Emden then scored 1 off Ulyett, and the next ball disposed of Frith. The innings closed for 65, being 5 less than their opponents. The teams now adjourned for lunch.

After luncheon the ground was quite as crowded as yesterday. Flay was resumed at a little after three o’clock, the English captain sending in Hill and Charlwood to the bowling of Frith and Sweet—-the field as before —Hill taking the first ball from Frith, and off his second he scored 1. Charlwood slogged at his next, but failed to reach it. Sweet then opened on Hill, which was a maiden. Off Frith’s first, Charlwood scored 3 to leg, I being an overthrow. Charlwood then put one of Sweet’s into the slips for 1, and Hill trying the same, the ball was returned by Fuller smartly, which resulted in Charlwood being run out, lie; having only scored 4. s—l—4. Selby filled the vacancy to finish Sweet’s over, which he played. Off Frith’s second Hill scored 1 in the slips, but the rest ho had to play very carefully.
