Cricket 1882

SEPT. 14,1882. CBICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 291 the season. His 207 on that occasion is the highest score ever made by a professional on the Surrey ground. Barnes and he in that match put on 289 runs while they were together. Despite a severe illness during the winter, the former has never been more successful as a batsman. He was not so for­ tunate as a bowler, but in batting he was quite in the front rank of cricket this year. On two occa­ sions, against Surrey and Middlesex, he scored over a hundred runs for the County, and his average, taking into account the number of inning3, is cer­ tainly the best of the season. Scotton batted creditably throughout, as did Flowers, though the latter fell off rather towards the close of the season. Butler signally failed to confirm the hopes he created on his first appearance, and he was not the only failure. Gunn did little, and Selby was alto­ gether a disappointment. Alfred Shaw showed in the match with Middlesex at Nottingham that he could still hit with vigour. Oscroft helped his average considerably by his good batting in the last fixture of the season at Brighton. The return with Sussex, too, gave Mr. C. W. Wright, of Cambridge University, the chance of proving his excellence as a bat. His innings of 99 was one of the finest dis­ plays of the season. Alfred Shaw, Morley, and Flowers between them took 171 out of 203 wickets. The former at times bowled as well as ever. His average is the best on the side. Morley took 58 wickets and Flowers 42. The latter at one period was quite the equal of any slow bowler in England, but towards the last he went off considerably. RESULTS OF MATCHES. Matches played, 12; won, 8; lost,|l; drawn, 3.

At the commencement of the season Surrey bade fair to have a good working eleven. It is much to be regretted that this promise was not fulfilled in the later matches, in which they were mostly unsuccessful. Their successive victories over Oxford and Cambridge raised hopes which were not realised. In many respects they were un­ fortunate. Mr. A. P. Lucas, though he played in three of the earlier matches, deserted altogether after the middle of the season. They never had their full strength, and accident more than once still furtherreduced their forces. Barratt, Jones, and Mr. Roller were all disabled at one time. In fact the Countywas really neversoenat its best. Jones bowled well at times, but he was never able to do much, owing to a severe strain. The same cause disabled Barratt and Mr. Roller more or less. They found a useful fast bowler in Mr. C. E. Horner, an old Oxonian, but unfortunately business prevented his playing in August. The Surrey batting was very uncertain. Mr. John Shuter, though a little un­ successful at first, played as well as he ever has later in the year. Mr. W. W. Read played a very fine innings against Kent at the Oval, but he hardly came up to the expectations formed at the outset. Maurice Read proved himself a sterling bat, but his splendid performances in outside m itches against the Australians rather dimmed his exploits for the county. RESULTS OF MATCHES.

The record of Gloucestershire cricket this season is a sad contrast to that ol a few years ago, when the eleven hardly knew what defeat was. Until its victory over Yorkshire at Cheltenham on the 18th of August,the County had not won one engage­ ment, and out of ten played in all only two were won against six lost. Neither of the brothers Grace began well, but both played excellent cricket in the later matches. Dr. E. M. Grace's 122 against Lancashire at Clifton was the only inning3 of three figures made for Gloucestershire. W. G. Grace was stopped by illness in May, but in the home matches he showed that he is even yet the best batsman of the day. Some of the older members of the eleven failed to fulfil their reputa­ tions. Messrs. Townsend and Gilbert did little, and Messrs. Moberly and Cranston were only slightly more successful. Midwinter was rather a dis­ appointment in the later matches, though he has a good average. Mr. Pullen, a youngster, shaped well, and is likely to be an acquisition. In bowling the Gloucestershire were weaker than the eleven has yet been. Midwinter and Mr. W. G. Grace took the majority of the wickets, though the former had much the better analysis. Woof at times bowled well, but he was more expensive than in the previous year, and hardly came up to expecta­ tions. RESULTS OF MATCHES. Matches played, 10 ; won, 2; drawn, 2 ; lost, 6.
