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

Another season that South Australia comes to a close, but not before Victoria put up close to another 600 runs on them in the first innings. The openers took the side into triple digits and another wicket later they were 157-3. AEV Hartkopf and WH Ponsford then kicked on before both men went for lbw off AJ Richardson and Victoria were at 324-5. Another two big scores saw them cruise into the 500s, eventually falling to the two big South Australian threats, yet not before they passed 80 runs each.


VIC 596
AEV Hartkopf 119; CB Willis 89; ER Mayne 81; WH Ponsford 78
HM Fisher 5-111; AJ Richardson 4-146

FK Gould immediately sent the ball straight to gully for a duck, but the home side were looking to end the year with a fight. The Ricardson boys partnered up for 134 runs, and the seventh wicket lasted for another 131 to prevent Victoria calling for a follow on.

VIC 596
SA 460
VY Richardson 90; NL Williams 77; AJ Richardson 69; RL Bennett 55
AEV Hartkopf 5-133; PH Wallace 3-97

Second Innings
AEV Hartkopf made another century, but the two half-centuries of HSB Love and JL Ellis had already laid the groundwork for an almost certain victory; the visitors declaring with a large lead at the end of day five.


VIC 596 + 426-7
SA 460
AEV Hartkopf 100; WH Ponsford 75; JL Ellis 74; HSB Love 51

AJ Richardson (1) was the opener who went very early while FK Gould partnered up with the other Richardson for a high-scoring partnership (167). JT Murray missed out on a half-century by six runs in the first innings, but he walked off with nothing second time around after he was caught at mid wicket for PH Wallace's only scalp to add to his previous three in the match. After the second quality partnership was broken up, South Australia feel from 345-6 to 353 all out.

VIC 596 + 426-7

Victoria- ER Mayne, WM Woodfull, J Ryder, AEV Hartkopf, RL Park, VS Ransford, CB Willis, AE Liddicut, JL Keating, JL Ellis, PH Wallace

First Innings
JD Scott held out for a very good 37 and both CG Macartney and JM Taylor passed the 20 mark, but four of the top five batsmen collected half-centuries to make all the difference. HL Collins and W Bardsley have a long standing opening partnership and they put up over 100 runs before they were broken up. The second partnership reached higher before AEV Hartkopf took out both men to start his three in a row.

NSW 367
TJE Andrews 69; W Bardsley 67; C Kelleway 65; HL Collins 51
J Ryder 3-86; AEV Hartkopf 3-105

Three fifties were reached by Victorian players, with several scores in the twenties scattered among the lineup, pushed Victoria past 300. The highest partnership did not come until AE Liddicut and JL Keating defied NSW's attack for much of the final session on day two.

NSW 367
VIC 316
AE Liddicut 68; WM Woodfull 62; RL Park 62
HSTL Hendry 3-61; C Kelleway 3-72

Second Innings
Another 300+ score but only the openers could provide a real fight, beating their first innings partnership by 21 runs. C Kelleway feel five runs shy of another half-century and CG Macartney was stopped at 30 and only HSTL Hendry (25) was able to get out of the teens with TJE Andrews trapped lbw off J Ryder; his second wicket in the over after bowling out Macartney.

NSW 367 + 308
VIC 316
W Bardsley 71; HL Collins 58
AEV Hartkopf 4-90; AE Liddicut 2-61

New South Wales clinched their latest title in style, limiting Victoria to four scores above 7. WM Woodfull (1) and ER Mayne (2) were both gone lbw off the fast bowling of JD Scott before the two highest scorers put in a 79 run partnership. RL Park was forced to retire with a hand injury and VS Ransford was run out. CB Willis and JL Ellis were both caught for ducks, but another partnership had formed in between from AE Liddicut and JL Keating for 70 runs.

NSW 367 + 308
VIC 316 + 173
J Ryder 48; AEV Hartkopf 39
JD Scott 4-50; C Kelleway 2-33

CW 1922/23 (S26) Game 4: New South Wales vs South Australia

New South Wales vs South Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground
6th, 8th-10th January 1923

Lineups-
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, ATE Punch, HSTL Hendry, AT Gray, WAS Oldfield, JD Scott, AA Mailey


South Australia- AJ Richardson, VY Richardson, HHM Bridgman, PD Rundell, LV Pellew, JW Rymill, RJB Townsend, NL Williams, RL Bennett, WJ Whitty, FL Morton


First Innings
South Australia put in a good performance with VY Richardson (7) and the ducks of NL Williams and RL Bennett spoiling the card. After AJ Richardson and HHM Bridgman were out before they could make half-centuries, a real partnership started up. HL Collins' two wickets were the very important scalps of the highscorers.

SA 354
PD Rundell 86; LV Pellew 70
AA Mailey 3-102; HL Collins 2-24

New South Wales had to wait until they were 169-7 before things really got going for them with all-rounder HSTL Hendry partnering up with the ninth man.AJ Richardson was lethal with the spin, but he had help on two fantastic pieces of fielding for the wickets of JM Taylor (0) an WAS Oldfield.

SA 354
NSW 362
HSTL Hendry 97; WAS Oldfield 84
AJ Richardson 6-85; RJB Townsend 3-54

Second Innings
South Australia could not put together a complete game as disaster struck early. AT Gray removing both AJ Richardson and PD Rundell for ducks, and AA Mailey starting off his  five-for with the wicket of VY Richardson for 1. LV Pellew was able to better his first innings score, and JW Rymill was faultless in his at bat, but the tail dropped the ball this time after WJ Whitty and FL Morton put in a fearless first innings with scores of 40 and 21; this time they walked for 0.

SA 354 + 277
NSW 362
JW Rymill 83*; LV Pellew 71; HHM Bridgman 57
AA Mailey 5-78; AT Gray 3-56

Opener W Bardsley was the man of the moment as he scored more than half the required runs to guide New South Wales to victory. HL Collins was caught in memorable fashion at deep mid wicket, WJ Whitty claimed his second wicket in spectacular style too; this time the catch was somehow made by the wicket keeper, leaving both Collins (18) and AF Kippax (0) shaking their heads. And not to be outdone the man at gully robbed W Bardsley of even more.


SA 354 + 277
NSW 362 + 270-4
W Bardsley 140; JM Taylor 72*
WJ Whitty 2-78; PD Rundell 1-9

New South Wales win by six wickets.

CW 1922/23 (S26) Game 3: Victoria vs South Australia

Victoria vs South Australia
Melbourne Cricket Ground
30th December 1922, 1st-4th January 1923

Lineups-
Victoria- ER Mayne, WM Woodfull, J Ryder, AEV Hartkopf, RL Park, VS Ransford, CB Willis, LF Freemantle, AE Liddicut, JL Ellis, PH Wallace

South Australia- AJ Richardson, VY Richardson, LV Pellew, PD Rundell, JW Rymill, RJB Townsend, NL WIlliams, FK Gould, WJ Whitty, RL Bennett, FL Morton

First Innings
J Ryder and AEV Hartkopf held out the longest by far, but WJ Whitty still got to them as he did the three wickets before, single-handedly putting Victoria on a 146-5 scoreline. A second partnership between VS Ransford and CB Willis then picked up where their predecessors left off, but three round zeros at the bottom of the lineup helped stall the scoring completely for the final four wickets as RJB Townsend was brought in to great effect.

VIC 257
J Ryder 60; AEV Hartkopf 54; VS Ransford 53
WJ Whitty 6-75; RJB Townsend 4-9

Just two scores beyond 40 and another six-wicket taker kept South Australia chasing the game. VY Richardson had scored the lions share of his teams runs by the time he was bowled by AEV Hartkopf to put them 139-6. The same bowler claimed the wicket of the only other dangerman: WJ Whitty.

VIC 257
SA 218
VY Richardson 78; WJ Whitty 44
AEV Hartkopf 6-53; PH Wallace 3-65


Second Innings
There would be no repeat of South Australia's success in the first innings after ER Mayne and WM Woodfull made a new record for an opening parnership. PD Rundell was the one who stopped them, along with AEV Hartkopf, at the 338 mark. J Ryder also walked back for a duck, this time at the hands of Williams, but Victoria kept marching on with another century and two half-centuries from RL Park (76) and LF Freemantle (52*).

VIC 257 + 631-6 dec.
SA 218
ER Mayne 180; WM Woodfull 150; CB Willis 112*
PD Rundell 3-30; NL Williams2-123

After bowling him out for 3 in the first innings PH Wallace takes the bails off again leaving AJ Richardson walking off for just 1. VY Richardson could not emulate his first score but the team did provide better suuport with another pair of fifties.


VIC 257 + 631-6 dec.
SA 218 + 310
JW Rymill 69; PD Rundell 54; VY Richardson 53
PH Wallace 3-64; AE Liddicut 2-57

Victoria win by three-hundred-and-sixty runs.

CW 1922/23 (S26) Game 2: Victoria vs New South Wales

Victoria vs New South Wales
Melbourne Cricket Ground
23rd, 26th-29th December 1922

Lineups-
Victoria- ER Mayne, WM Woodfull, CB Willis, LF Freemantle, J Ryder, JL Ellis, AEV Hartkopf, RL Park, VS Ransford, AE Liddicut, PH Wallace

New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry, AT Gray, WAS Oldfield, CR Campling, AA Mailey

First Innings
Victoria's fifth wicket partnership of 107 saved the day as AA Mailey dominated with his spin bowling. WM Woodfull fell to the only other bowler to take wickets, AT Gray, for a duck; ER Mayne (22), CB Willis (18) and J Ryder (0) soon followed, and Victoria were 41-4 before the longest partnership formed. RL Park then put in a decent 35 from the eighth spot in the lineup but he became the first of four wickets for AA Mailey to end the innings.

VIC 234
JL Ellis 60; LF Freemantle 51
AA Mailey 7-57; AT Gray 3-61

Victoria also struck early with the ball, taking the wicket of HL Collins and almost taking a rib out of CG Macartney who was forced to leave the innings. New South Wales found their groove much earlier than their opponents had with a partnership of 135. This was followed by JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry and AT Gray all scoring over 30 before the tail was destroyed in short order to put together a fine lead.


VIC 234
NSW 351
W Bardsley 111; TJE Andrews 67
LF Freemantle 3-58; J Ryder 3-77

Second Innings
The opening partnership of Victoria took the team over 100 but they only had a pair of wickets left soon after passing the side's second century, ending with a valiant single-handed display to get them well over 300. Once the openers were broken up with WM Woodfull caught at extra cover for 47, the wickets of CB Willis (0) and LF Freemantle (3) followed. JL Ellis was unable to reach half his first innings score before the leadership of AEV Hartkopf dragged everyone else along for a ride. The NSW bowling attack had a much tougher time finishing the side off with AA Mailey falling a wicket shy of ten in the match.

VIC 234 + 342
NSW 351
AEV Hartkopf 110*; ER Mayne 63
CR Campling 4-52; AT Gray 2-91

The condition of the pitch had been rapidly falling over the final two days of the match but, like New South Wales before them, Victoria was unable to break down the side very quickly. The openers and TJE Andrews both walked with 52 runs on the board but NSW remained confident and were inspired, with half their wickets remaining and 51 runs still to score, by the performance of CG Macartney playing through his pain.

VIC 234 + 342
NSW 351 + 226-5
JM Taylor 58; CG Macartney 57*
PH Wallace 2-52; AE Liddicut 2-60

New South Wales win by five wickets.

CW 1922/23 (S26) Game 1: South Australia vs New South Wales

South Australia vs New South Wales
Adelaide Oval
15th, 17th-20th December 1922
Lineups-
South Australia- VY Richardson, FK Gould, CE Dolling, LV Pellew, RJB Townsend, DE Pritchard, AJ Richardson, CD Gray, NL Williams, RL Bennett, FL Morton

New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, CR Campling, AA Mailey, CS Everett

First Innings
New South Wales got away to a rip-roaring start, losing their first two wickets at the 196 and 401 run mark. W Bardsley (95), TJE Andrews (77), and JM Taylor (52), all provided excellent support for the big scorers. AF Kippax was the only man to fall cheaply, going for just 6, but the game looked won at tea on the second day.

NSW 703-6 dec.
CG Macartney 251; HL Collins 183
CD Gray 2-55; AJ Richardson 2-177

South Australia provided a consistent response but still fell well short of avoiding the follow on. Until the tail and it's total collapse, AJ Richardson had scored the least at 13 runs as his team fought against the tide.

NSW 703-6 dec.
SA 409
DE Pritchard 84; LV pellew 67; VY Richardson 61; RJB Townsend 50
CS Everett 4-62; AA Mailey 2-128

Second Innings
It was more of the same from the hosts with no-one managing to reach that elusive century; an unlucky CD Gray the closest to that milestone.

NSW 703-6 dec.
SA 409 + 446
CD Gray 97*; RJB Townsend 84; CE Dolling 75; VY Richardson 63
CG Macartney 3-35; HSTL Hendry 3-100

NSW continued to show electric form at the top of the order to close the game out.

NSW 703-6 dec. + 153-1
SA 409 + 446
HL Collins 70*; W Bardsley 57
FL Morton 1-40; AJ Richardson 0-34

New South Wales win by nine wickets.
