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 1893/94 (S2) End of Season Post

Stat time! There was a distinct lack of centuries; only 3 compared to last year's 12; there were also 35 half-centuries to 54 last term, so it was certainly a bowlers year!

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

Victoria - FH Walters, J Harry, GHS Trott, FJ Laver, J Worrall, JH Stuckey, H Graham, H Trumble, JM Blackham, J Phillips, CE McLeod

First Innings

New South Wales, who won the toss and went in to bat first, and Victoria would both struggle with the bat as the wicket degraded quite radpidly to help the two lethal bowling attacks.

NSW 229

AL Newell 61; WL Murdoch 40
J Phillips 4-33; GHS Trott 3-31

Victoria would manage to match NSW in the first innings

NSW 229
VIC 228

FJ Laver 77; J Worrall 66; H Trumble 48
CTB Turner 5-58; AL Newell 3-70; ST Callaway 2-36

Second Innings

NSW 229 + 158
VIC 228

AL Newell 37; FA Iredale 36
GHS Trott 5-19; CE McLeod 3-51

FH Walters' 51 would take them to 99-4, and it looked a sure thing when Victoria were on 155-6; five runs from victory but four straight wickets, three of them ducks, left them with a loss!

NSW 229 + 158
VIC 228

FH Walters 51, FJ Laver 33
A Coningham 3-25; AL Newell 3-46; ST Callaway 2-23

The season would come down to the final game, winner takes all, between South Australia and Victoria!

New South Wales
(8/15) vs South Australia (11/12)

Association Ground

6th-8th January 1894

Lineups:
New South Wales - LD Moore, ACK Mackenzie, A Coningham, WH Moore, AL Newell, WL Murdoch, H Moses, FA Iredale, CTB Turner, ST Callaway, HJK MacPherson

South Australia - JJ Lyons, AH Jarvis, G Giffen, JC Reedman, J Darling, WF Giffen, H Blinman, A Jarvis, A Hill, GT Parkin, E Jones

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.

SA 370
NSW 131 + 201

FA Iredale 74; H Moses 38
G Giffen 4-58; JC Reedman 2-33

CW 1893/1894 (S2) Game 3: Victoria vs South Australia

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

Melbourne Cricket Ground

1st-5th January 1894

Lineups:
Victoria - J Harry, JH Stuckey, GHS Trott, W Bruce, J Worrall, FH Walters, PM Lewis, FJ Laver, J Carlton, CE McLeod, HC Mapleston
South Australia - JJ Lyons, AH Jarvis, G Giffen, JC Reedman, J Darling, WF Giffen, A Jarvis, H Blinman, H Haldane, GT Parkin, E Jones

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.

SA 343
VIC 215

PM Lewis 65
A Jarvis 5-48

Second Innings

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.

SA 343 + 240
VIC 215

J Darling 85; JC Reedman 50; A Jarvis 42
J Carlton 5-60; CE McLeod 4-62

Victoria needed 369 to win with their hightest innings score on the year 283. They needn't have worried as they dominated from the crease for 118 overs and another victory; this time by 5 wickets.

SA 343 + 240
VIC 215 + 369-5

JH Stuckey 82; J Worrall 78*; J Harry 78; W Bruce 65
G Giffen 2-108

CW 1893/1894 (S2) Game 2: Victoria vs New South Wales

Victoria (8/14) vs New South Wales (8/15)

Melbourne Cricket Ground

23rd-24th, 26th-27th December 1893

Lineups:
Victoria - J Harry, JH Stuckey, GHS Trott, J Worrall, H Graham, W Bruce, H Trumble, FJ Laver, CE McLeod, J Carlton, JM Blackham

New South Wales - AC Bannerman, CTB Turner, H Moses, WL Murdoch, FA Iredale, ST Callaway, TW Garrett, ACK Mackenzie, WH Moore, AL Newell, M Pierce

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

Second Innings

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.

VIC 283 + 159
NSW 319

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

VIC 283 + 159
NSW 319 + 105

WH Moore 36*
J Carlton 6-32; GHS trott 2-13; CE McLeod 2-33

CW 1893/1894 (S1) Game 1: South Australia vs New South Wales

South Australia (11/12) vs New South Wales (8/15)

Adelaide Oval -

15th-18th December 1893

Lineups:
South Australia - JJ Lyons, JC Reedman, G Giffen, AH Jarvis, WF Giffen, A Jarvis, H Haldane, J Darling, H Blinman, GT Parkin, E Jones

New South Wales -
AC Bannerman, ACK Mackenzie, FA Iredale, H Donnan, SE Gregory, ST Callaway, TW Garrett, M Pierce, WH Moore, AL Newell

First Innings

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
JC Reedman 4-73

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.

NSW 333
SA 391

A Jarvis 123*; G Giffen 82; WF Giffen 68
TW Garrett 3-72; AC Bannerman 2-43

Second Innings

The wicket had degraded to a point where the bowlers would get a little extra help in the fourth day (one extra bowling card) and South Australia took full advantage to put themselves in full control.

NSW 333 + 209

SE Gregory 46; ST Callway 43*; AC Bannerman 40
JC Reedman 5-61; E Jones 3-50

South Australia were at 29-2, losing Lyons (11) and Reedman (16), but that would be the only scare New South Wales had to offer as SA won by eight wickets.

NSW 333 + 209
SA 391 + 152-2

G Giffen 69*; AH Jarvis 53*

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.
