Cricket 1882

92 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 15, 1882. LANCASHIRE v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. A little more than a day’s cricket was all that the weather allowed in this match begun at Man­ chester on Monday last. The ground was in such an unplayable state from the heavy rains, that anything like reliable batting was altogether out of the question, and the scoring was consequently very much below the average on both sides. Mr. C. T. Studd’s slow round-arm bowling was so difficult, as the wicket was, that none of the Lancashire eleven, not by any means the best in the county, could exceed 18 runs, and they were all out for 90. Against this Cambridge fared even worse, as seven wickets were down for 9, and they were all out for 31, the smallest total of the year in a good match. The weather only allowed a quarter of an hour’s play on Tuesday, and when yesterday morning it was found that the wicket was under water, it was decided to give up the match altogether.

What chance Derbyshire could be expected to have against an eleven that had proved itself so strong all round as that representing Australia, it would be difficult to say. Beaten at all points this year and prepared to give in even to Sussex, under no possible conditions could the County have had a look in against Murdoch's team, and the result, as was only to be expected, was another hollow victory for our visitors. Derbyshire, with the advantage of first innings, could only make a poor show, and they were all dismissed for 106, 66 of which were added by the last four wickets. Massie again showed his abilities as a fast run- getter, making 66 out of the first 85 runs in 55 minutes. Giffen, who had not been very successful in the more recent matches, with Blackham, showed that the Australian tail is much stronger than was at first thought,and, indeed, the feature of thebatting in ' some of the later fixtures has been the stand i»ade by the last batsmen. Derbyshire had 186 to save the innings, but they made a worse show than at the first attempt, and were beaten by an innings and 109 runs. Spofforth was again very successful with the ball for the Australians. Score and analyses:— D erbyshire . First Innings. Capt. Johnstone, b Palmer.. H. E. Sugden, b Spofforth .. L. C.

Droylsden Fairfield C.C.—A Saturday or two ago I took part in a game in which the bails owing to the high wind were blown from the wicket. The batsmen were running, and the ball on being thrown in was caught by the wicket-keeper with his right hand, but he struck a stick out of the ground (according to law) with his left hand. What I should feel obliged by your answering is whether the wicket should not be struck out of the ground (when the bails are off) with the hand that holds the ball, and not with the disengaged one, as in this case ? The stump must be taken out of the ground by the hand holding the ball. G. C. C.—A bowler bowls a no-ball, and the bats­ man makes a run off i t ; how does it score ?—One run to the batsman. J am es B ishop . —When there are more than four a- side playing a single wicket match, can the striker score if he steps outside the popping crease to hit the ball?—Yes, the same laws prevail then as at double wicket. J . B e ll , Arundel C. C.—1. Pycroft, on p, 202, says, “ Learn to bowl tosses and tices.” Kindly define these terms. 2. Is there any law deciding that one day matches shall be decided on first innings, if second not played out ? 3. A case occurred in a match last week where the wickets were 8in. across at the bottom, but (owing to a common practice of making stumps slightly thicker near the bottom than elsewhere), the distance across the wicket at a height of three or four inches from the ground wa3 only 7 5-8in. The distance across the top was correct. Can the captain of the fielding team lawfully demand that the wicket be 8in. across everywhere between bails and ground ?—1. They are the old terms for “ full pitches” andyorkers. 2. The Marylebone Club rules that a match must be played out or given up before a win or loss can be claimed, unlesB a special arrangement to the contrary shall have been made prior to commencing the game. It is the general custom, though, to decide on the first innings. 3. We think that the captain of the out-side has a perfect right to claim that the stumps are of the regulation breadth of eight inches throughout. Surkey C lub & G. v.

W e are already overwhtelmed with scores, many of which, despite the two enlargements in the paper, we are unable to insert this week. We are most anxious to give space to everything connected with the game, hut we are unable to find room in full for the increasing number of accounts of matches. We shall of course continue to insert as heretofore the scores of those clubs who have made arrangements with us for the season, and we shall endeavour to the best of our space to find a place for all. At the same time we reserve to ourselves the right to con­ dense anything to meet any great pressure on our columns. S U R R E Y r * * * . i s w s j t s m OVAL, ON JUNE 15, 16, AND 17.
