VICTORIA v. A.E.E. MATCH.

On the second innings of the Victorians the Australasian remarks The bowling of the Englishmen was not at all good. bhaw trundled worse than he has ever done while in the colonies. Lillywhite was not auccesful, and the fast bowlers did not .possess even the merit of being on the wicket. Hill was plain and easy. Ulyett bowled long hops, and it was not Emmett’s day out, as he had neither pitch nor precision .to recommend him. Southerton bowled the best, and appeared? most difficult ,to play. The innings of the Fifteen closed for 190—the largest score yet made in one innings against the Eleven ; yet it must be said the wicket was an easy one. to; play,upon, and though a trifle slow, the bowling upon.it was not mischievous, and Shaw stated he could do nought upon it.” On the result of the match the same paper says ; “The Eleven were fairly defeated, and if the chances that occurred during the game are taken and analysed it will be found that the balance of luck was in favor of the English-, men, as several of their batsmen who, scored-, well gave chances early in their innings which, were missed. However, taking all things into consideration, no game could be more exciting,. and fifteen Victorians against the English eleven is a very fair handicap, and a difference of 30 runs is nothing to speak of. The fielding of our men was superb, all working together grandly. Allan s fine bowling in both innings shows that his country sojourn has not interfered with his left arm, and Midwinter, despite .so many_ carping critics, by his all-round good qualities, must have silenced them completely.* Horan quite eclipsed all his former efforts, and his splendid batting in both innings stamps him as one of the most finished wielders of the willow the colony possesses. The grand stand he made in the second innings won the match for Victoria, and he showed throughout the possession of an immense amount of < nerve and confidence, completely baffling the bowlers. Bis.ckhani was good at the wickets, but not splendid. The palm for fielding must be awarded to Kelly, Woolf, and Hastings, Kendall proved himself a most useful man, but Hodges did not fulfil the good opinions formed of him, and was most likely nervous. Loughnan's fielding was lax, and Oosstick times might have been a little smarter. The English players far excelled our men in two great things—in judging a run and returning the ball to the wicket-keeper, and Horan and a few others who are bad judges of a run might take a lesson with advantage. Shaw’s bowling throughout was very difficult to play, and no one can dispute the fact that he is unapproached as a bowler on either side. Ulyett bowled well. Emmett was erratic and difficult to play, but Hill and Lillywhite were not a success,'and Armitage’s slows were net first* class. The Englishmen exhibited some excellent batting, Selby, Greenwood, and Chariwood being specially worth mention. , In both innings, Jupp’s stubborn defence greatly missed. On such a grand batting wicket he would have been very dangerous.” The full scores are as follows: VICTORIAN FIFTEEN. . First Innings. Second Innings.
