South Africa v England 1891-92

Owing to the absence of A. B. Tancred, the best all-round cricketer in South Africa, and two of three other prominent players, the home team was not fully representative. The South African eleven went in first, but with the exception of F. Hearne (24), G. Cuffs (18) and W. H. Milton, an old Malborough boy (21), fared badly. The Englishmen treated the home bowling with scant courtesy, and Wood, by some vigorous cricket, hit up 134 not out, in the home team's second innings F. Hearne made 23 and C. Mills 21, but the general resistance offered to the English bowling was poor, the visitors finishined their tour with a brilliant victory by an innings and 189 runs.
