CW A Look Ahead to the Sheffield Shield 1894/95 Season
The third year of the Sheffield Shield is the tightest season yet. A lot of teams will be keeping a lot of the team together this year also.
New South Wales 9/14 (last year 8/15)
New South Wales could end up anywhere in the table. They will be hoping it isn't a third year in a row at the bottom!
South Australia 10/13 (11/12 last season)
SA have every chance of defending their title this term.
Victoria 9/14 (8/14 last year)
Victoria is the one side that hasn't lost anything since last year, and the extra batting card could see them back on top at years' end.
New South Wales 9/14 (last year 8/15)
New South Wales could end up anywhere in the table. They will be hoping it isn't a third year in a row at the bottom!
South Australia 10/13 (11/12 last season)
SA have every chance of defending their title this term.
Victoria 9/14 (8/14 last year)
Victoria is the one side that hasn't lost anything since last year, and the extra batting card could see them back on top at years' end.

First Innings
Victoria won the toos and put some early pressure on the home side in this title decider as only A Jarvis looked like a wicket-taker on a slightly bowling pitch. The visitors put up 124 runs before losing their first wickets.

CE McLeod 76; J Harry 68; FH Walters 65; JH Stuckey 55

JC Reedman 130; A Jarvis 93; J Darling 56

VIC 367 + 117
SA 331
PM Lewis 39
G Giffen 4-43; E Jones 2-15; A Jarvis 2-27
South Australia lost Lyons straight away, and fellow opener Noel was not far behind. Some in the crowd thought a Victoria-like collapse when the goal was in sight could happen as the scor was 143-6, but South Australia found the 11 runs needed to win the Sheffield Shield!

Victoria - FH Walters, JH Stuckey, GHS Trott, J Harry, FJ Laver, CE McLeod, PM Lewis, RW McLeod, R Mitchell, AE Trott, J Carlton
First Innings
Victoria won the toos and put some early pressure on the home side in this title decider as only A Jarvis looked like a wicket-taker on a slightly bowling pitch. The visitors put up 124 runs before losing their first wickets.
VIC 367
CE McLeod 76; J Harry 68; FH Walters 65; JH Stuckey 55
A Jarvis 5-103
South Australia managed a good reply, mostly thanks to Reedman's grand score, but still trailed going into the second innings.
VIC 367
SA 331
JC Reedman 130; A Jarvis 93; J Darling 56
CE McLeod 3-91; GHS Trott 3-93
Second Innings
Victoria would then throw away their chance of sealing a second tiitle as they left South Australia needing 154 runs to win, but if SA could bowl this well there was hope for Victoria.
VIC 367 + 117
SA 331
PM Lewis 39
G Giffen 4-43; E Jones 2-15; A Jarvis 2-27
South Australia lost Lyons straight away, and fellow opener Noel was not far behind. Some in the crowd thought a Victoria-like collapse when the goal was in sight could happen as the scor was 143-6, but South Australia found the 11 runs needed to win the Sheffield Shield!
VIC 367 + 117
SA 331 + 154-6

First Innings
South Australia won the toss and batted first, looking to redeem themselves after the loss against Victoria, piling up a very tidy score on a very troubled pitch.
SA 370
WF Giffen 91; AH Jarvis 82; JC Reedman 46
ST Callaway 5-69
New South Wales, who struggled as the supposedly better bowling side, continued their difficulties with the bat, being forced to follow-on by South Australia. It could have been worse for a 9th wicket partnership of 61 between Turner and Callaway
SA 370
NSW 131
CTB Turner 40
E Jones 4-47; JC Reedman 3-18
New South Wales needed to score 239 to at least make South Australia bat again, but with runs scarce until Iredale walked on, it was a losing battle as SA won by an innings and 38 runs in match that lasted less than three whole days.

On a consistantly even pitch throughout, a lot of runs would be scored here. South Australia started out well, led by AH Jarvis and G Giffen. WF Giffen and H Blinman narrowly missing out on half-centuries.
SA 343
AH Jarvis 117; G Giffen 60
J Harry 4-54; CE McLeod 4-91
Victoria's reply would stutter as they finished 128 runs behind, leaving South Australia the choice to make Victoria follow-on.

South Australia would not enforce the follow-on, and may have started to regret doing so after only adding another 240 runs. Some good batting in the middle order was offset by the poor efforts elsewhere.

J Darling 85; JC Reedman 50; A Jarvis 42

First Innings
Victoria would bat first after winning the coin toss and they started a little sluggishly in what was billed as a low-scoring game. Victoria went from 56-3 to 283 all out despite the efforts of CTB Turner.
VIC 283
J Worrall 60
CTB Turner 5-82; AL Newell 3-63
The batting would continue to go against the pre-match experts as New South Wales racked up 319 runs with Turner carrying on from his bowling performance.
VIC 283
NSW 319
CTB Turner 62; WL Murdoch 52
H Trumble 4-52; GHS Trott 3-48

A poor innings from Victoria leave them in big trouble as seven batsmen only score single digits; two of them, W Bruce and FJ Laver, registered ducks, as the bowling ran wild.

JH Stuckey 48; H Trumble 47*
With only 124 runs to get it was the most incredible start! CTB Turner, H Moses, AC Bannerman, FA Iredale, and ST Callaway all fell without scoring to start New South Wales 0-5! The rampant bowling continued to incredibly leave Victoria the winners by 18 runs

On an overcast day New South Wales won the toss and went in to bat first, putting up a decent score before losing their last wicket before lunch on day two.
NSW 333- all out
ACK Mackenzie 76; AC Bannerman 66; TW Garrett 62

In reply, South Australia had a dodgy start as the bowling looked threatening, but the home side rallyed to lead by 58 runs halfway through day three.

CW A Look Ahead to the Sheffield Shield 1893/94 Season
The second year of the Sheffield Shield is expected to be dominated by the bowlers, with all-round South Australia the favourites to win the league.
New South Wales 8/15 (10/13 last season)
I Wales (43.50 average), CA Richardson (56.75), and SP Jones (13.25) do not feature on this year's team, and NSW will be heavily reliant on their bowling for any success this term. Another tough year is possible after ending 1-3 last season.
South Australia 11/12 (10/12 last season)
A slight improvement with the bat makes SA a good all-round side and almost certain to improve upon last year's 1-3 record. A Wilkinson (39.50), JH Tardiff (16.00), W Amos (15.00), and W Delaney (9.33) all play no part.
Victoria 8/14 (11/14 last season)
Last year's championship-winning side could well experience losing for the first time here with a dramatic drop in batting quality. EE Bean (67.00), JE Barrett (12.80), RS Houston (25.00), and WA Tarrant (68.00) are all absent.

CW 1892/93 (S1) End of Season Post: Part II
Thanks to Paul's comment from my previous post, I have decided to compare runs per wickets for some of the bowlers to those in real life.
I will compare three bowlers for each team. I am not expecting too much to line up with real life due to how Cricket World deals with bowlers. It is entirely up to the player how much time each bowler gets, and they are not credited with overs; just runs and wickets. I have tried to keep those who bowled most of the innings in more than usual, but let's see what the stats say.
Victoria:
RW McLeod 27 wickets for 673 runs in my game; 22 wickets for 448 runs in real life
H Trumble 11 wickets for 454 runs in game; 22 for 298 IRL
FJ Laver 9 wickets for 176 runs; 2 for 84 IRL.
New South Wales:
M Pierce 26 wickets and 646 runs; 25 wickets for 622 runs - that one is very close!
CTB Turner 13 wickets for 350; 12 for 230
A Coningham 10 for 337; 11 for 245 IRL.
South Australia:
E Jones got 17 wickets for 556 runs; 15 for 425 in the real world
G Giffen took 15 for 657; 33 for 759
A Jarvis 12 for 440; 3 for 266
Well, that was interesting! M Pierce was very close to his real life totals, while others...not so much. At the end of the day though, this is a replay. So while it is nice to have stats and results close at times, I am all about the "What If" aspect of replay gaming.

CW 1892/1893 (S1) Game 5: New South Wales vs Victoria
New South Wales (10/13) vs Victoria (11/14)
Association Ground, Sydney -
26-30 January 1893
Due to my M.E. not being compatible with writing this much, I have decided to shorten things down a fair bit. I hope to keep all the important information in at the expense of some reporting.
In this game LD Moore makes way for Fast-Medium bowler A Cunningham for New South Wales. Victoria introduce JM Blackham, and J Phillips returns. JH Stuckey and FJ Laver make room.
Victoria won the toss and decided to bat on what looked to be a good pitch (one extra batting card, but that lasted a matter of a few overs before the pitch dropped and that advantage was nullified).
Victoria 309- all out.
Vic: PM Lewis 70; RW McLeod 56
NSW: A Cunningham 5-94; M Pierce 2-44
Early on day two, some fine batting put Victoria's championship hopes on the edge.
Victoria 309 all out
NSW 403 all out
NSW: CA Richardson 113; FA Iredale 56; CTB Turner 55
Vic: RW McLeod 5-106

The Victorian second innings would be saved by H Graham and J Phillips batting 6th and 7th in the lineup.
Victoria 309 all out + 428 all out
NSW 403 all out
Vic: H Graham 140; J Philliips 108; H Trumble 50
NSW: CTB Turner 5-115
New South Wales wouldn't even reach Tea as they totally collapsed, with only CTB Turner's second half-century of the match a bright point for the home side as RW McLeod took eleven wickets in total.
Victoria 309 + 428
NSW 403 + 175
NSW: CTB Turner 52; CA Richardson 49
Vic: RW McLeod 6-49
Victoria win by 159 runs and cannot be caught in the title race for the inagural Sheffield Shield!

New South Wales (10/13) vs South Australia (10/12)
Association Ground, Sydney -
7-11 January 1893
Second Innings
With the pitch still helpful to bowlers on day three, and every chance of further degradation, New South Wales decided to bat again and add as many runs as possible.
AC Bannerman couldn't get close to repeating his half century when G Giffen trapped him L.B.W. for just 2 runs. SE Gregory (10) and CTB Turner (0) made the score 21-3 after and E Jones and Giffen dispatched them.
LD Moore and H Donnan would improve upon their first innings efforts with scores of 57 and 41 respectively. Donnan was stumped off GT Parkin, and Moore was caught L.B.W. by A Jarvis. The innings score was now 113-5.
CA Richardson was another victim of Parkin, L.B.W, for just 7, while ST Callaway was caught for 10; Giffen taking the wicket. GJ Youill (24) was bowled by Reedman, and a good 69 off FA Iredale was stopped by Parkin. The bowler then claimed his fourth of the innings, fifth of the match, by taking the stumps of M Pierce for 5.
New South Wales had added another 229 runs to give South Australia a target of 352 to win with two whole days left to play on a very poor batting pitch.
Best Batsmen: FA Iredale 69; LD Moore 57
Best Bowlers: GT Parkin 4-33; G Giffen 3-77
M Pierce would take the first three wickets with just 66 runs on the board. JJ Lyons (5) was caught at gully, while AH Jarvis (20) and G Giffen (26) were bowled out. South Australia would lose another wicket before lunch on day four: JC Reedman caught off CTB Turner for 38 runs to leave SA 241 runs to win with six wickets remaining.
Whilst A Jarvis (19), JH Tardiff (21), and W Delaney (6) were crumbling cheaply, EJ Hiscock was putting on a supreme batting display, reaching 132 before FA Iredale bowled him. South Australia now needed 70 runs from their final two wickets.
They would only creep a little closer as J Noel (11) and GT Parkin (9) brought up the 300, 52 runs shy of a win. New South Wales wins by 52 runs.

New South Wales (10/13) vs South Australia (10/12)
Association Ground, Sydney -
7-11 January 1893
First Innings
The second round of games began with these two sides. South Australia beat New South Wales by five wickets when these two teams first met, and the hosts were looking to get their revenge. The wicket would help the bowlers throughout the match, and NWS decided to bat after winning the toss before the pitch could degrade further.
SE Gregory was gone straight away without any runs on the board as E Jones got him L.B.W, and LD Moore only scored 18 thanks to a catch at midoff; Jones again the bowler, and New South Wales were 35-2.
The second opener AC Bannerman and debutant CTB Turner steadied things down through their partnership of 67; Bannerman caught at third man for 51. H Donnan came in, and then left for 25 as he was clean-bowled by JC Reedman, and NSW were 155-4.
CTB Turner would fall shy of his century at 91 when A Jarvis did it all himself, caught and bowled, while CA Richardson, the third debutant behind Moore and Turner, would get a good 58 before Jones struck again. NSW were 262-7 in the evening session of day one when FA Iredale (13) and GJ Youill (0) would not make much of an impact.
It took 20 overs of the second day for South Australia to finish off M Pierce for 5 and an impressive 48 from ST Callaway to end the New South Wales innings at 332- all out; I Wales ended on 19 not out.
Best Batsmen: CTB Turner 91; CA Richardson 58; AC Bannerman 51
Best Bowlers: E Jones 4-107; A Jarvis 2-52
CTB Turner's impressive debut continued with ball in hand as he and M Pierce tore through the South Australian batsmen for just 210 runs. After JJ Lyons (15) was caught behind for 22 and AH Jarvis (20) taken in some style at backward short leg in quick succession, a mini-stand ensued before the onslaught resumed.
JC Reedman (L.B.W. ST Callaway) would put up 36 runs for 103-3 , and G Giffen would get the side to 185 runs with his 65 before losing out to an L.B.W. call off Pierce. A Jarvis and JA Tardiff would go for quick ducks, both belonging to Turner and SA found themselves 189-6.
W Delaney (22) and J Noel (14) would bring the tally up to 210-6, before M Pierce got Delaney and Noel, with Turner cleaning up GT Parkin (0) and EJ Hiscock (37) to end the innings 210 all out. With over 120 runs between the sides, NSW had to decide on whether or not to enforce the follow-on.
