Cricket 1890

85G CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME; AUG. 28, 1890. H AM P SH IR E v. SU SSEX . T h e Hampshire eleven, who had toeaten Sussex at Southampton a fortnight before, had, too, all the best of this return match begun at B righton on Thursday, and won on Saturday afternoon w ith 164 runs to spare. H ampshire won the toss, and Captain W ynyard and M r. Forster made an excellent start, putting on 70 runs before the latter was out. The last three wickets, too, lent useful assistance, adding ju st a hundred runs. Of these, Mr. Gay, the Old B rightonian, who carried out his bat, contributed 63—an excellent innings of an hour and twenty minutes without a mistake. Sussex, who had made 30 overnight for the loss of one batsman—Mr. Gresson—did so badly on Tuesday m orning that five wickets only added 18 runs. Some determ ined hitting b y Messrs. Smith and Godfrey, however, saved their side from the follow-on that seemed probable. Eighty-tw o runs were added for the eighth wicket, and of these Mr. Godfrey contributed 62. Mr. Sm ith was in for tw o hours and three-quarters while 150 runs were added, and, though he had a life soon after h© came in, his 61 was a plucky as well as judioious display of batting. The chief features of Hampshire’s second innings, w hich was begun at lour o ’clock on Friday afternoon, were the stands of Captain A^yn- yard and Easby and of the form er and Soar, Seventy-four were added for the fifth wicket, but the sixth was even m ore productive, Cap­ tain W ynyard and Soar putting on 105 runs in an hour and ten minutes. T he innings was closed with both still in. Captain W yn - yard’s 114 not out occupied three hours and ten m inutes, and there was not a fault to be urged against it. Sussex were left w ith 291 to win and three hours left to play. A poor show they made, too, as the best stand was by the last two batsmen—H um phreys and B utt — who added 41, and in two hours and a half th eyw eie all out for 126. Hampshire thus w on by 164 runs. H AMPSHIRK. First Innings. Easby, b Smith ... 4 Mr. J. R. Richards, c Butt, b A. Hide ... 24 Mr.L. H.Gay, not out 63 Mr. D. A. Steele, c J. Hide, b A.

M ID D L E SE X . T he Somersetshire eleven, who had pre­ viously won ten inter-county matches in succession, gave another very strong proof of the excellence of their all-round cricket at Taunton on Thursday and Friday last. Their victory over M iddlesex at L ord’s was one of the m ost memorable incidents of the first part of the season, and though they were not able to win the return, last week’s game showed, not only that the tw o counties were very evenly matched, but also proved fully the capacity of the team for playing an uphill game. Middlesex losing the toss had to take the field, but so successful was H earne’s bow l­ ing that six of the best batsmen of Somerset­ shire were down for 32. Messrs. Challen and Palairet were the first to offer any real resist­ ance, and the form er’s 49, which took him a little over two hours, was far and away the best innings of the side. Hearne took all the first six batsmen, and altogether he bowled 167 balls for 65 runs and eight wickets, a fine perform ance. M iddlesex made as bad a start as their opponents, and Mr. W ebbe, who was ninth out after an extrem ely judicious and plucky innings of nearly an hour and a half, was the only one of the earlier batsm en able to play T yler and W oods with any confidence. Later on, though, Messrs. Henery, Dauglish, and Burton hit w ith resolution, and in the end M iddlesex led by one run. W hen they went in again Somersetshire again fared badly, and the total was very creditable co n ­ sidering that four o f , the best batsmen were out w ith the total only 20. Messrs. Hewett and R oe, though, showed great judgm ent at a critical point of the game, and their play was worthy of the highest praise. W ith 127 to win,M iddlesex, mainly through Mr.W ebbe’s brilliant batting, looked like having an easy thing of it. Unfortunately, after being in an hour and three-quarters for 67 out of 115, without a mistake, the Middlesex captain was caught at the wicket. This was the turning point, and the Somersetshire eleven fielded up so closely that when the last man, Mr. Dauglish, came in, one run was still wanted to tie. In trying a second and rather doubtful run the ball rebounded off the wicket keeper before Mr. Dauglish could reach his crease, and so a singularly even and interesting game ended amidst great excitem ent in a tie. Mr. W oods had the best analysis for the winners. H is nine wickets cost 95 runs. S o m e r s e t s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. H. T.

K E N T v. LAN C A SH IR E . The match at Beckenham at the close of last season between Kent and N otts, as will be remembered, decided the Championship of the year. The contest between Kent and Lancashire on the same ground at the end of last week had a similar effect, as Lancashire’s victory placed Surrey at the head of the Counties beyond all doubt for this summer. This success, was the more creditable, as Mr. H ornby was so lame that he had to hand over the Captaincy to Mr. Crosfield, who has played little for Lancashire this year, and consequently had not had much experience of the team. Mr.|Kemble, whose hands had been hurt earlier in the week, had, too, to give up his place at the wicket to Whiteside, while F .W ard, who had failed to.score against Surrey, was displaced by Yates. H eavy rains just previous to the match prevented any chance of the game being played on a run-getting wicket, and, in fact, the ground was through­ out all in favour of the bowlers. Under the circumstances, first innings was a matter of great importance, and in winning the toss Kent got an undoubted advantage. As it was, however, Briggs and W atson found the pitch so thoroughly to their liking that in leBs than forty-seven overs they dismissed the opposite side for a small total of 54 runs. Making the best use of their tim e while the wicket was easy, Sugg and Barlow, Lancashire’s first batsmen, hit out vigorously, and 39 was up before a wicket fell. A ll the later batsmen, too, except W hiteside and Mold, played up with great pluck, and W atson, w hose bowling had been so very successful, w as seen to equal advantage at the wicket, carrying out his bat for a freely hit 24, the highest score on the side. Lancashire’s total of 132 was, as the ground was, a m ost creditable one, but it would have been considerably reduced had the fielding of the Kent eleven been at all up to the mark. W anting 78 to avert an innings defeat, Kent had no easy task when they went in a second tim e. The influence of the sun on the wicket on Tuesday m orning, too, did not make matters better for the batsmen, and Watson, and subsequently M old, bowled
