Cricket 1882

JUNE 8, 1882. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 63 of Surrey has a worthy successor to Southerton, and I think most cricketers will agree with me when I say that I can pay Jones no higher compliment. I must apologise for the length of my letter ; my only excuse for troubling you at all is my intense anxiety to see Surrey once more come to the fore in county cricket. I remain yours truly, A SURREY VETERAN. ¥JIE:gC0^E>B00K. XO CORRESPONDENTS.

Some excellent cricket was the result of the first match of the season between these counties, played « Kennington Oval on Thursday last and two fol­ lowing days. Middlesex had not its full strength Ait j absence of the brothers Studd, the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, and Mr. Leslie, but it was fairly nf?,?8’ coutaining a notable addition in the person 1Mr. A. W. Ridley, who has deserted Hampshire 0play for Middlesex under the residential qualifi- ation. Surrey had an advantage of 79 runs on the •:sinnings, and it was only through their mistakes a in ^'na^ the Middlesex were able to save a tollow on by one run. For the first time for some years the authorities at the Oval had a Saturday terooon, but it was evident that the public did 0 expect such a close finish, and the attendance as only small. Middlesex had 282 to get to win ‘hey went in on Friday night, and until the ^ everything went in their favour. Mr. A. J. critt * as . 110 always does, played very fine set to win the match, and Mr. Scott’s 126 was t„ display of patient batting. He never W 55 erty until the stroke which got him out ; cW Wa3 twice missed, once a rather difficult easv i° ^-orris Read from Barratt, the other an ttn til lijr c) by Mr‘ Lucas °® h*3 own bowling, seem a ’ dismissal a victory for Middlesex 'vern ?ert;a‘n> and just before he got out there runs 8et wit^ six wickets to fall. hen n i b Atm Mr T? k 6 collapse, and as Capt. Borrowes, 4bel i I 8011’ and Henry were all three caught by 8urr«« s^orfc's^P for an addition of two runs y won a good match by only 25 runs. Messrs’ Colman and Powell both made their first appear­ ance in a County match at the Oval, and each made a creditable debut with the bat. The former hit freely and well in the first, and in the second Mr. Powell, the Charterhouse captain of 1880, played steady and rially good cricket after he was missed at mid-off. The wicket was exceedingly easy from first to last, and three of the four innings exceeded 200 runs. Jones’s bowling was extraordinarily straight throughout, but Burton and Barratt were the most successful, and the latter, who took twelve Middlesex wickets, has not bowled better for a long time.

Both sides have reason to congratulate themselves on the cricket shown in this match, played on the Lancashire ground at Manchester on Thursday last and two following days. The county was exceed­ ingly well represented, but their opponents got so long a lead on the first innings, and despite the excellent play of Barlow and Mr. A. G. Steel, and some fair form by the tail in the second innings, the Australians were able to claim a win by the narrow majority of four wickets. Rain came down heavily soon after the last ball, so that the deciding hit was only made just in time, but the victory was a very creditable one, and better all-round cricket in all probability will not be seen at Old Trafford this year. Spofforth, who had not been at all success­ ful during his previous attempts as a bowler with this team, showed that he will yet be very trouble­ some if his powers are not over-taxed, and in all he took twelve Lancashire wickets at an average expense of a little over thirteen runs, a good performance; otherwise the Australians bowling presented no remarkable features, Palmer’s four wickets costing 126 runs. Barlow added another to his many extraordinary displays of patient batting in the second innings, and his feat in going in first and carrying out his bat was a fitting accompani­ ment to the other remarkable incidents of an eventful week. His 66 not out were got without a fault, a n d a collection of fifteen pounds was made on his behalf. This is the first occasion on which such a feat h a 3 been recorded this year in a good match. The weather was in no w a y pleasant throughout, but the spectators mustered in great numbers, as they do now at every match at Man­ chester, and in the three days it is computed that a s many a s 35,000 persons were present. Cross­ land’s analysis of seven wickets for 63 runs was the best on the Lancashire side. Score and analyses :— A ustralians . First Innings. H. H. Massie, b Barlow .. .. 47 c Barlow, b O. M. R.W. O.
