Cricket 1883

JULY 12, 1883. CEICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 247 GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS. After three days of splenaid cricket, pro­ ductive of some of the highest scoring ever re­ corded in this series of contests, the annual match between the Gentlemen and Players at Lord’s, ended yesterday afternoon in a victory for the former with 7 wickets] to spare. With the exception that the Hon. Alfred Lyttleton, Messrs. W .W Read, and V.K . Royle were unable to play for the Gentlemen’s, and Maurice Read for the Players, the elevens were thoroughly representative, and the cricket on both sides was in every way worthy of the best match of the year. TheGentlemen won the toss, and despite the rain overnight, the wicket played so well that the innings did not close until a quarter past twelve o’clock on Tuesday morning. With the excep­ tion of their 444 in 1875, and their 449 in 1876, the 441 made by the Gentlemen on this occasion is their largest score in this match at Lord’s. Despite the good bowling of the Players, all the nine first batsmen of the Gentlemen got double figures, and the cricket was of superlative ex­ cellence. Mr. Tylecote’s 107, though, was the feature of the innings. He was in just two hours and a half, while 191 runs were got, and he never gave one positive chance. No higher praise can be given, and when it is stated that he was opposed by eight of the very best professional bowlers, his performance can fairly be classed as most remarkable in a re­ markable match. With such a total as 441 against them, the Players might have been excused a little if they had lost heart, and their plucky uphill game is therefore the more highly to be commended. The last five bats­ men on the side did little, but this makes their general show the more noteworthy. Barnes, since his return from Australia, had not been batting quite up to his best form, but his play on this occasion was one of the fiuest features of the match, and two such scores as 62 not out, and 76, represent an achievement to be proud of. Ulyett also deserves the highest credit for his vigorous batting, and Barnes and he together contributed 254 to the total of the Players, close on one-half of the aggregate. When the Gentlemen again wentin, they had 108 to win, and thanks mainly to another good innings by Mr. Lucas, they were able to win with seven wickets to spare. It is worthy of remark that 1,098 runs were scored in the match for 33 wickets, an average of 33J. On the first day, 6,303 persons paid at the gate, on Tuesday 8,280, and yesterday the attendance must have been about 4,000. In only one previous match between Gentlemen and Players at Lord’s, has the aggregate exceeded 1,000 runs, i.e. in 1878 when 1,066 runs were got in four completed innings. G e n tle m e n .

No better gift-book could be purchased for a boy than this volume issued by the well-known firm of Cassell’s under this title. Close on a thousand pages are devoted to subjects congenial to a youth, and the book is as neat externally, as its contents are useful. Elaborate instructions are given to tho young cricketer, and as these are supplemented by diagrams and illustrations of use in the study of the game, the book is well worthy of a place n a cricket library.
