Cricket 1885

114 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 14, 1885 ory results. His defence was of great use to the county in the opening match of 1882, the memorable contest in which the Austra­ lian team were credited with the large score of 643. He carried out his bat for 54 out of a total of 193 in the first, though in the second innings he was the first of three batsmen who fell to Palmer in succes­ sive balls. Though his average in 1882 was just under 21 runs he showed to even better advantage in the following season, when the county eleven were under his captaincy. He was, indeed, the most successful batsman of the year, and as the highest score in his aggregate of 351 for twelve completed innings was 67 it will be seen that his play must have been consistently good. Last year he wasof the greatest service to Sussex, and his batting was throughout of a very high character. Altogether he figured in twenty-two innings, and his average with the advantage of two not outs was 25.14. Though he rarely failed to make a creditable score his most only noteworthy achievements can be reoorded here. In the match with Yorkshire, at Brighton, which resulted in such a credit­ able victory for the Southerners, he was altogether five hours and a-quarter at Ihe ■wickets. During this long stay he only con­ tributed eighty runs to the total of 369, but his defensive play wore out the Yorkshire bowling and in no small degree contributed to the brilliant success of his side. His stand, too, in conjunction with Mr. New­ ham in the sesond innings against Kent at Tonbridge entirely altered the whole aspect of that game. While they were together as many as 198 runs were added to the score, and it was mainly their partnership which gave Sussex the viotory. Mr. Whitfeld, too, finished the season with a very fine display of batting against Surrey at the Oval. Owing to rain the wioket was in a very treacherous condition, particularly when Sussex entered on their second innings. He went in first and was not out at the finish, having been batting three hours and a-quarter on a diffi­ cult ground without a mistake—a remark­ able performance. Mr. Whitfeld is right- handed in batting, but left in bowling. He has extraordinary patience, and though it may be urged that he is too much inclined to a strictly defensive game, he is on that account a most difficult wicket to get. He bowls medium left-hand round-arm, though of late, he has not done much in this depart­ ment. He is a very good field anywhere. As a captain he has been of great use to Sussex. Indeed, in the management of the team he has shown considerable judgment, Mr. Whitfeld is a member of the celebrated wandering brotherhood of I Zingari. He has distinguished himself, too, in other branches of athletics. He won the Mile Race at Eton, and lately gained the highest foot­ ball honours, having represented England in an International (Association) match. SURREY v. ESSEX. The Surrey eleven commenced their season auspiciously with an easy victory over Essex at the Oval, on Tuesday. Maurice Read had not returned from Australia in time to take part in the match, and Mr. Roller was also absent. Otherwise the home County was well represented, Beaumont, of Yorkshire, and Bowley, of Notts, two professionals now able to play under the residentialqualification, making their first appearance in the eleven. Surrey had first use of an excellent wicket, and while Mr. Read and Abel were together seemed likely to make a very long score. After their separation, though, the batting was tame, and the last eight wiokets only added 45 runs. Mr. Read and Abel, while they were together, put on 181 runs. Mr. Read played brilliant cricket considering that it was the first county match of the Beason. He gave no chance until he had got 115, when he ought to have been stumped. He made 143 out of 205 runs while he was in, scoring three fours at one time from suc- ceisive balls of Silcock. In his total were one five, seventeen fours and six threes. Jones secured 48 out of a total of 67 in the first innings of Essex, and by really good cricket. He has good defenoe and can hit well all-round. In the follow-on Mr. Owen played very carefully, and Mr. 0. E . Green hit freely. Bowley made a very creditable debut for Surrey. He bowls very fast, and in the first innings of Essex got six wickets at a cost of only twenty-four runs. With the bat he was unlucky in being well caught at square-leg. He created a favourable im­ pression by his all-round oricket, his fielding being certainly above the average. The veteran Silcock bowled with great success for Essex. His last seventeen overs realised six wiekets at a cost of only nine runs. Lohmann’s bowling in the second innings of Essex, though, was the best in the match. His analysis showed 39 overs for 33 runs and seven wickets. S urrbt . THE YORKSHIRE COLTS’ MATCH. Though they were without the services of Bates, Ulyett, Peel and Hunter, the eounty eleven had all the best of this match played at Bramall Lane, Sheffield, on Monday and Tuesday. The ground had not as yet recovered from the heavy rains, and Peate’s bowling, helped by the wicket, proved alto­ gether too much for the Colts. His figures were ind.ed remarkable. In the two innings he was credited with twenty-three wickets at a cost of sixty runs. Waller batted steadily in the second innings of the Colts. H. Lee, who played such fine cricket recently against Notts Colts, enhanced the reputation won in that match. He showed capital cricket each time. The eleven won by eight wickets. Y orkshibb C olts .
