Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98, June 14 1890
Never miss a chance of ingratiating yourself with the Jury, even at the expense of the Judge. (An opportunity often occurs after Lunch.)
Dr. Grace, who seemed to forget his lameness, played with great vigour and dash, and his cuts and drives possessed all their old brilliancy. — The Times, on the exciting finish in the Cricket Match between the M.C.C. and the Australians, June 3, 1890.
One hundred and eleven runs, and eighty-five minutes to make 'em in,
And with Turner and Ferris to trundle as fast as they could pitch and break 'em in!
And it looked any odds on Murdoch's men contriving to make a draw of it;
But Cricket, my lads, is a curious game, and uncertainty seems the sole law of it.
So they sent in Grace and Shuter to start. Well, the Doctor is now called a veteran,
But at forty-two when he's on the job 'tisn't easy to pick out a better 'un.
And he spanked for four, like a lad once more, and he cut and he drove like winking;
Though his leg was lame, he forgot that same, and he played the game without shrinking.
And Surrey's Shuter he did his part, and so did Notts' Gunn, Sir,
