M.C.C. V. VICTORIA

RYDER’S STAND FOR VICTORIA

(Australian Press Association)

MELBOURNE, November 17

The match between Victoria and M.C.C. team was resumed yesterday. The weather was warm, but threatening. The wicket was perfect.

AA’hen A'jctoria resumed their first innings with four down for 30, Rigg was vigorous. He batted twenty minutes to score 20.

Ryder played confidently and skilfully from the outset; Nichols had a good pace up, and he was making the hall fly frequently. Allom and Barratt were also bowling well. Ryder showed very solid hatting for two hours. A remarkable feature for him was that he did not make one boundary hit, but the fieldsmen were placed deep for him. He compiled 50 runs.

Scaife was very comfortable when he was clean howled at 27. He batted for 69 minutes.

Alexander livened file proceedings up by scoring fifteen runs in nine minutes, hut it was a case of hit or miss. Ironmonger also swished at everything with better results than he usually achieves.

AVitli few exceptions, the AUctorians’ display was poor, hut the howling was of a uniformly good standard, while Gilligan was handling his howlers judiciously.

The light was getting dull and rain seemed imminent when the Englishmen opened their second innings. Twenty runs were scored, when, at half past three, an unsuccesful appeal was made against the light. A few minutes later another appeal was made. It was upheld.

The players were off the field for ah hour. The crowd became very im patient. Even among the officials the Englishmen’s appeal was considered unwise, as there was nothing hanging t-o the match, and the light was' not really had.

On the resumption the batsmen were counted out. There was great cheering, with counter cheers, from the pavilion when Gilligan and Duleepsinhji were dismissed off succeeding balls. Both were caught in tire slips, Duleepsinhji, who had been cordially took the barracking well and waved, his cap to the crowd.

At JDuleepsinhji’s dismissal at 4.40 therejfcyas another appeal, and an adjouinjkht. Rain then commenced to fall Steadily There was no further play. The- attendance was fourteen thousand, and the gate receipts £745. -Scores:—
