Cricket 1892

216 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 16, 1892 KENT v. LANCASHIRE. Rain, for the second season in succession, pre vented this match at Manchester from being brought to a definite conclusion. Still matters were not so bad as in 1891, when the continuous downpour prevented even a start being made. Brilliant weather was exi erienced both on Thurs­ day and Friday, so that the game was well advanced and some interesting cricket was witnessed. Mr. Fox, who had met with an accident in the Gloucesterbhire match earlier in the week, was replaced by Mr w. F. Best in the Kent eleven, while Yates played instead of Baker on the other side Lancashire, who batted first, made the capital score of 260, to which Ward, who went in first, contributed b9. He gave an easy chance in the slips when he had made a single, which marred an otherwise fault­ less innings. Sugg was also missed in making 32. Briggs played with unusual care, and was at the wickets an hour and th ee quarters for his 35 Borne vigorous hitting by Mr. Hornby and Watson relieved the latter part of the innings. The pair added 45 for the eighth wicket, the professional taking out his bat for a merry score of 48. Kent lost Leaney for 12 runs on Thursday, and on Friday five more wickets fell for an addition of 37 runs. Mr. Patterson, Mr. Best, and Martin offered some resistance to the Lancashire bowler ,but the innings was over before lunch for the poor total of 127. The wicket was in excellent condition, ai d it is difficult to account for the collapse of the Kent batsmen. Watson, it will be noticed, bowled with great success. Kent gave an altogether different exhibition when they followed on in a minority of 133 runs. The chief credit belonced to'Mr. Patter­ son, who remained at the wickets for nearly three hours. Bis brilliant innings of 114 included nine 4’s and six 3’s, and he did not give a semblance of a chance. The other Kent batsmen also did well, and when stumps were drawn for the day the total had been raised to 257 for six wickets. Kent were therefore 124 runs on with four wickets to fall, and as rain did not allow of any play on Saturday the match was left unfinished in a most interesting stage. The Kent team drservo great praise for their plucky play, converting what seemed likely to be a defeat into a very creditable draw. L a n c a sh ir e . A. Ward, c Leaney, b Mr. A. N. Hornby, b W.

In this match, commenced at Leicester last Thursday, both counties had full strength, with tbe exception that Lord Hawke’s place was filled by Moorhouse. Though Yorknliire, who batted first on a good run-getting pitch, lost five batsmen for 87 runs. Hall and Moorhouse placed a better aspect on the game, adding 50 for the B ix t h wicket iu forty minutes. Hall played with unusual freedom, and his excellent score of 60 included seven 4’s and six 3’e. Tunnicliffe assisted Moorhouse to put on 58 for the next wicket, and the total eventually reached 237- Moorhouse played a capital innings of 56, and after his good display against theLanca- phire 2nd Eleven, he should be secure of a gocd trial this season. Leiceater- hire had fifty minutes’ batting, and thanks to some dashing hitting by Mr. de Trafford, scored 69 for the loss of one wicket. On Friday Pougher batted carefully and well, but as the “ tail” ient little help, Leicestershire had to follow on in a minority of 115 runs. They were seen to much greater advantage on going in a second time. Rain made the wicket all in favour of the tatsmen. and when play ceased on Friday night the total was 216 for nine wickets. On Saturday the innings closed without a run being added, so that Yorkshire required 102 runs to win. More rain in the morning had made the wicket easy, and the runs were quickly knocked off, Yorkshire securing a victory by eight wickets.

Cambridge made a very successful first appearance away from home on Thursday and Friday last, at the Oval, when, after two days’ interesting cricket, they defeated Surrey by 80 runs. Lonmmn, who had not been very well just lately, was absent from the Surrey team, as also was Wood, in their absence, Richardson and Watts had another trial. The University were without four of their r»gular eleven. Mr. Frere (a Senior) kept wicket iu place of Mr. Gay, who was injured in the Hants v. Sussex match, and three old “ bluea”—Messrs. Wells, Weigall, and Jephson— were away. This enabled the Cambridge captain to try Messrs. Martin Scott, Latham, and A. O. Jones. The wicket, though a little fiery, was in excellent condition for run getting. That it was in the batsmen’s favour will be gathered from the fact that 938 runs were scored in the two days— an average of over 23 per wicket. Runs, too, were got at the rate of about 90 per hour, so that it was essentially a game to be enjoyed by the spectators. Mr. Shuter’s luck deserted him for once, and Cambridge batted firet. Mr. Scott started the hitting by scoring 32. by means of seven 4’s, a three, and a sing’e. The chief feature of the innings, though, was the partnership of Messrs. Latham and Streatfeild for the seventh wicket. They were together at lunch time with the score 144, and were not separated until the total had reached 193. 'Jhe brilliant character of the cricket will be apparent from the fact that they made 95 runs in 50 minutes. Five of the home side tried to effect the separation, and Sharpe succeeded by lowling Streatfeild for 38. Lockwood quickly 1owled the tbree remaining batsmen, leaving Mr. Latham to take out his bat for 64, compiled by correct and at the same time free cricket. He hit nine 4’s and three 8’s. The start of the Surrey innings was moat unpromis­ ing, and fivewickets were down for 60 runs. Mr. Key and Henderson added 50 runs for tbe tixth wicket. On the former’s retirement Henderson batted with care, but the Surrey captain treated the Cambridge bowling with scant courtesy. The score rose very fast, and 139 runs had been added in eighty minutes when Henderson was taken at the wicket for a faultless 61, made at a time when runs were of the greatest value. The end then came quickly, and on the fall of the last wicket Surrey were 49 to the good. Mr. Shuter’s 93 was a grand d splay of clean, forcible hitting, without the semblance of a mistake. His score included fourteen 4’s and four 3’s. On Friday, the Cantabs proved superior to Surrey at all points of the game. They started their second innings badly, losing Messrs. R. N. Douglas and Cooper for 'A runs Messrs. Scott and J. Douglas then put on 91 runs in 50 minutes for the third wicket. The Rugby footballer again hit in brilliant fashion, his 56 including a 5 and ten 4’a. It was the fifth wicket, however, that turned the tide in favour of the University. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Latham defied all the efforts of the Surrey bowlers for seventy minutes, and added 1(3 runs to the score. Both the Captain and Mr. Latham played splendid ciicket, and the latter was unfortunate in being thrown out when well set. He scored 1S2 for once out, and he played with an amount of care and confidence which should ensure him a place in the University eleven. The total reached 291, which left Surrey 215 runs to get to win. At no time did it appear probat le that the runs would be made. Abel, who went in first, was out seventh for an admirable innings of 47, and Mi. Shuter carried out his bat for an excellent score of 27. The play of the other tatsmen, though, was very disap­ pointing, and the innings closed for 162. Cam­ bridge were thusleft the winners by 80 runs. Mr. Jackson took the last five wickets at a cost of 39 runs. The Cambridge men are to be congratulated on their all-round display. C a m b r id g e U n iv e r s it y . Second Innings. First Innings.
