CW 1908/09 (S17), Game 6: New South Wales vs Victoria
New South Wales vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground23rd, 25th-28th January 1909
Lineups:
New South Wales-W Bardsley, AJY Hopkins, MA Noble, A Cotter, EF Waddy, SE Gregory, CG Macartney, JC Barnes, H Carter, SH Emery, C Kelleway
Victoria- EV Carroll, TIB Horan, VS Ranford, WW Armstrong, PA McAlister, DBM Smith, GR Hazlitt, LP Vernon, FJ Laver, W Carkeek, JV Saunders
First Innings
New South Wales spent the better part of the opening two days compiling a high total despite some inconsistencies in the order. The bowlers had trouble breaking down partnerships through the meat of the order, and the Victorian batsmen would have to work hard in order to make this one competitive.
NSW 545
CG Macartney 137*; SE Gregory 97; EF Waddy 86; A Cotter 76; MA Noble 55
WW Armstrong 3-139
The reply was in trouble immediately, but the pairing of VS Ransford and PA McAlister held on wonderfully to rack up 199 runs in their partnership. The bottom of the order capitulated and a follow on decision had to be made.
NSW 545
VIC 317
VS Ransford 117; PA McAlister 93
A Cotter 3-98
Second Innings
The follow on was enforced and Victoria started much brighter, although the tailenders failed to put up much more of a fight. Solid, if not spectacular, partnerships held off the New South Wales onslaught as best they could, but their own bowlers would have to bring some real intensity if they were to pull off a shock result.
NSW 545
VIC 317 & 377
TIB Horan 92; PA McAlister 87; GR Hazlitt 69; WW Armstrong 54
JC Barnes 5-106
Two early wickets may have given the visitors some hope, but the ship steadied and New South Wales swept the season to return to champion status.
NSW 545 & 150-3
VIC 317 & 377
MA Noble 69*; EF Waddy 55*
JV Saunders 2-46
New South Wales win by seven wickets.

New South Wales vs South Australia

Lineups:
New South Wales- W Bardsley, CG Macartney, MA Noble, EF Waddy, SE Gregory, EL Waddy, JC Barnes, A Cotter, SH Emery, C Kelleway, CR Gorry
South Australia- ER Mayne, LR Hill, C Hill, DRA Gehrs, CE Dolling, JH Pellew, N Claxton, JDA O'Connor, JRH Woodford, WJ Whitty, AW Wright
First Innings
Blushes were spared on a tenth wicket partnership of 151 as South Australia faced a very early end to their innings at 71-8.
SA 229
JH Pellew 89*; WJ Whitty 72
MA Noble 6-45
Despite the tough pitch, New South Wales would have expected a little better. The man at mid wicket had to be alert as he took three catches, the final being a real corker. There was only a single duck, and indeed single digit score, in the innnings; South Australia had five victims walk back without any runs.
SA 229
NSW 429
A Cotter 115; EF Waddy 79
AW Wright 5-116
Second Innings
With the pitch at it's worst New South Wales enforced the follow on and should have had the game won in timely fashion, but instead a moral victory for the South Australians saw them make it past the 200-mark once again. There were no stand out batsmen, but only the tailenders failed to reach double figures.
SA 229 + 212
NSW 429
JH Pellew 37
MA Noble 3-35; C Kelleway 3-36
The third win for NSW was a mere formality.

CW 1908/09 (S17), Game 4: Victoria vs South Australia
Victoria vs South Australia
Melbourne Cricket Ground
1st-2nd, 4th-6th January 1909
Lineups:
Victoria- TS Warne, C McKenzie, VS Ranford, WW Armstrong, PA McAlister, EV Carroll, GR Hazlitt, LP Vernon, FJ Laver, TJ Hastings, JV Saunders
South Australia- ER Mayne, CE Dolling, C Hill, N Claxton, JH Pellew, DRA Gehrs, LR Hill, JDA O'Connor, WJ Whitty, JRH Woodford, AW Wright
First Innings
South Australia looked to pick up their play for the second half of the season and certainly got off on the right foot despite a disintegrating pitch. Five half-centuries and a century maker sent them up to near 500 runs, and they could have made that milestone without a tailender collapse.
SA 485
JH Pellew 137; LR Hill 67; CE Dolling 66; C Hill 65; ER Mayne 59; N Claxton 56
JV Saunders 4-111; GR Hazlitt 3-120
Victoria couldn't have got much closer in their reply even with three ducks and three single-figure totals. Losing their first three wickets at the 233 mark, they kept some of that momentum going for another big partnership to set the match up for a one inning battle.
SA 485
VIC 484
PA McAlister 129*; TS Warne 117; C McKenzie 109; GR Hazlitt 66
AW Wright 3-88; WJ Whitty 3-128
Second Innings
Another tailending collapse could have been South Australia's undoing as they failed to reach half their first innings score. C Hill and N Claxton had a good partnership going but, aside from them, no-one managed to reach 30 runs.
SA 485 + 239
VIC 484
N Claxton 73; C Hill 63
JV Saunders 5-62
Victoria looked well in control of their own destiny as they put over one hundred on the board before C McKenzie was caught at gully. Wickets did continue to fall, but not at at a fast enough pace for the visitors to make up for their poorer performance.
SA 485 + 239
VIC 484 + 241-6

Lineups:
Victoria- TS Warne, TJ Hastings, C McKenzie, VS Ranford, WW Armstrong, PA McAlister, EV Carroll, LP Vernon, FJ Laver, GR Hazlitt, JV Saunders
New South Wales- AJY Hopkins, SE Gregory, MA Noble, H Carter, A Cotter, EF Waddy, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, A Diamond, JC Barnes, SH Emery
First Innings
Wickets were very hard to come by Victoria as three centuries and a pair of 77's sent New South Wales flyig past the 600 mark before declaring. An unbeaten partnership of 243 for the eighth wicket is easily a new record.
NSW 602-7
CG Macartney 136*; A Diamond 110*; SE Gregory 100; A Cotter 77; EF Waddy 77
FJ Laver 4-160
Another NSW dominating performance, another follow on, although this time the total should be within reach for Victoria, but can they possibly make it tough when their opponents return to the crease? A couple of batsmen down the order came up big to make the score somewhat respectable.
NSW 602-7
VIC 311
EV Carroll 97; FJ Laver 71
AJY Hopkins 3-61; SH Emery 3-98
Second Innings
A much start when Victoria lost their second wicket after scoring 107 runs, compared to the first innings where they had lost half their wickets before passing the century. A pair of 70+ totals were the best they managed however as no-one really excelled to take over the game.
NSW 602-7
VIC 311 + 402
PA McAlister 79; TS Warne 75
AJY Hopkins 4-65; SH Emery 3-126
It was a pretty pedestrian end to the match and New South Wales did lose two early wickets to give Victoria some confidence, but that was soon squashed by NSW taking victory inside a single session.

New South Wales- AJY Hopkins, W Bardsley, MA Noble, EF Waddy, SE Gregory, EL Waddy, JC Barnes, CG Macartney, H Carter, A Cotter, SH Emery
First Innings
A confident New South Wales side elected to put their opponents in to bat first and, after a promising start, the South Australians couldn't keep their momentum going. The first wicket fell with 93 runs on the scoreboard, and only a sixth wicket partnership of 68 kept the bowlers at bay for a significant length of time.
SA 250
ER Mayne 61
MA Noble 4-57; CG Macartney 3-66
The reply was brutal as NSW passed the home side' total with seven wickets remaining. Partnerships of 99 and 135 were the real highlights, both of which were thanks in no small part to EF Waddy's impressive score.

Lineups:
South Australia- ER Mayne, WA Hewer, N Claxton, C Hill, JH Pellew, LR Hill, DRA Gehrs, WL Chamberlain, JDA O'Connor, JRH Woodford, WJ Whitty
Victoria- TS Warne, C McKenzie, WS Ransford, PA McAlister, WW Armstrong, EV Carroll, FJ Laver, LP Vernon, TJ Hastings, FB Collins, JV Saunders
First Innings
Put in to bat first, Victoria stumbled out of the gate but settled enough to pass the 300 milestone. The South Australian bowlers enjoyed a lot of movement off the pitch with WJ Whitty and JDA O'Connor claiming eighteen wickets in the match; mostly LBW and clean bowled outcomes.
VIC 306
FJ Laver 69; PA McAlister 58; LP Vernon 50
WJ Whitty 5-11; JDA O'Connor 3-99
Between the outstanding play of a magnificent catch to claim high-scoring C Hill and the unlucky incident leading to his brother having to retire through injury, South Australia were not allowed a moment to match the fierce pace their opponents were bowling.
VIC 306
SA 145
C Hill 44
JV Saunders 4-47
Second Innings
Victoria decided against the follow on and instead went out to make things more difficult for the home side. The same three men from the first innings once again passed their half-centuries, with TS Warne joining them. The rest of the order remained woefully short of what is expected of them as the duo of Whitty and O'Connor ran wild again.

South Australia were torn apart in short order for a second time thanks to the balanced bowling attack of Victoria. Both innings lasted around fifty overs each, but the second saw more players hit double figures.

CW A Look Ahead to the 1908/09 (S17) Season
It's back to the full six game schedule with New South Wales and their very dangerous looking batsmen aiming to reclaim their title after losing last year to Victoria. Victoria are the main threat to the ten time champions, and South Australia looks to continue bringing up the rear for another year, but they could push Victoria with their balanced lineup.
