About M.E. myself and I

Eastbourne, East Sussex, United Kingdom
I have been an M.E. sufferer for a long time now, but sports replay gaming is an easy hobby for me to enjoy. Originally from Canvey Island, Essex, I was introduced to replay gaming a few years ago, leading to my first purchase: Cricket World. Most sports I share will be common, but there are some more obscure replays thrown in. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to say hello! - Chris

CW 1893/1894 (S2) Game 6: South Australia vs Victoria

South Australia (11/12) vs Victoria (8/14)

Adelaide Oval

2nd-5th March 1894

Lineups:
South Australia - JJ Lyons, J Noel, G Giffen, JC Reedman, J Darling, A Jarvis, RH Dyer, BV Scrymgour, EJ Hiscock, A Hill, E Jones

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

G Giffen 53
CE McLeod 4-51

Final standings

South Australia 3 - 1
Victoria 2 - 2
New South Wales 1 - 3

In real life Victoria and NSW swap places
