Cricket 1884

246 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, j u l y s . io m . had had, his batting at the olose of the summer was most extraordinary, and his average for eight completed innings reached the high figures of 69. Against Yorkshire at Huddersfield he played two fine innings of 52 and 68, but his best per­ formance was with Mr, I. D. Walker for Middlesex against Gloucestershire at Clifton, where the two amateurs, as many will re­ member, scored 324 during their partner­ ship, 226 of them in one hour and thirty- nine minutes. This year, though he has only been able to play little, Mr. Lyttelton has shown himself to be in brilliant form, and we believe he will be able to take part in the last of the three matches between England and Australia at the Oval. As a batsman Mr. Lyttelton has few, if any, superiors at the present time. His style is commanding, aud as he makes full use of his height—he stands well over six feet—he has great advantage. He is, too, very strong, and as he can hit very freely all round he is always dangerous even against the best bowlers. In addition, he is certainly the best amateur wicket-keeper of the day, standing up and taking all kinds of bowling with the greatest confidence. In other branches of athletics besides cricket Mr. Lyttelton has also made his mark. In 1874 he represented Eton at rac­ quets, and also won the School Hundred Yards Handicap in heats. He wa5, too, one of the Cambridge champions at racquets in 1876, and in that and the two following sea­ sons threw the hammer for Cambridge in the Inter-University sports. In 1877 he was one of the Cambridge University Association football eleven, and was selected one year to represent England against Scotland in the Association International. He was, too, one of the tennis champions at Cambridge in 1877 and two following years, and is now the best amateur tennis player, having won the gold prize of the Marylebone Club last year.

YORKSHIRE. The Lancashire eleven made an excellent show in their first match of the season with Yorkshire, at Manchester on Thursday and Friday last. Mr. A. G, Steel was playing at the Oval, but his two brothers worthily upheld the family name. E. E., who is the youngest, played capital cricket each time, and to make two scores of 51 and 30 not out against Yorkshire was a fine performance for so young a cricketer. Five Yorkshire wickets were down for 62 in the first inn­ ings, but Peel offered a stubborn resistance when runs were much wanted, and Hunter and Harrison hit so freely that the total after all reached 181, wanting only 97 to win, Yorkshire lost half their wickets for 44, and the issue seemed very doubtful. Ulyett, however, played with great care and judgment at the crisis, and it was mainly to him that tho Yorkshiremen owed their success with three wickets to spare. L a n c a sh ir e . First Innings.

The Oxford eleven brought their trial matches to a close at Lord’s on Friday, when they defeated a very moderate eleven of the Marylebone Club with six wickets to spare. The Oxford captain decided to play Mr. L. D. Hi dyard in place of Mr. A. R. Cobb, but otherwise the eleven was the game as had beaten Surrey at Iho Oval. The wicket helped the bowlers a little, and except for a vigorously hit first score of 60 by Mr. W. H. Fowler, who made fourteen from one over of Mr. Whitby, the first three innings only produced small totals. When they went in a second time Oxford wanted 146 to win, and mainly through the good play of Messrs. Brain and O’Brien, both of whom hit well, the runs were got for the loss of only four wickets.

The Nottinghamshire eleven won their return match with Sussex, at Brighton, on Saturday by an innings attd 28 runs. After the huge score of 458 made by Notts, the only chance for the home team, who were 330 runs behind, was in a drawn game. Some capital cricket was shown on Saturday by Mr. Newham, and Messrs. Ellis and Wyatt hit with considerable free­ dom. Still, despite the plucky play of these three amateurs and some vigorous hitting by Mr. Blackman at the close, they were unable to avert a defeat. None the less they deserve to be congratulated on their excellent sccond score of 302, a highly praiseworthy performance against the bowling of Notts. Messrs. Newbam and Wyatt put on 94 runs while they were together. The former’s 86, though he gave two chances, was an excellent ^ display of batting. Shrewsbury and GuniVv*^ while they were partners increased the Not^ ' tingham total to the extent of 266 runs. Shrewsbury was batting for six hours and a half, and the only mistake he made in a most *
