Cricket 1885

JULY 23, 1885, CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 275 SOMERSETSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Mainly through the effective bowling of Mr. Bastard, of the Oxford Eleven, who took eleven wickets for 81 runs, Somersetshire was able to win its first match of the season with Hants, played at Taunton on Thursday and Friday last, by four wickets. Tho Hampshire eleven were greatly weakened by the absence of Messrs. F. E. Lacey and E 0. Powell. H am psh ire . Second Inning3, First Innings. Mr. S. H.

On the following morn ing, though, Shrewsbury continued to play faultless cricket, and ably supported £bj Attewell and Shaw, the score was nearly trebled. Attewell’s batting was of the highest order, and while he was in 177 runs were added to the total. Of these he had contributed 89, or just one half, the highest score he has ever made in a match of import­ ance. Shaw, too, hit freely, making 5*2 of 94 realised for the ninth wicket. Shrewsbury, who went in first, saw all ten wickets fall, carrying out his bat for 224 out of a total of 405 from the bat. He began his innings at 3.50 on Thursday and was notout until 5.15 on the following afternoon. Altogether h? was batting for just on eight hours, and. with the exception of a hard chance to point when he had made two, there was, as far as we could see, not a chance in his long innings. No higher praise can be given to his batting than that it will rank as the best in point of merit of many exceptional per­ formances with the bat during the present season. His figures consisted of twenty-two fours, fifteen threes, nineteen twos, and 53 singles. With the exception of Mr. W. Ward’s 278 for M.C.C. v. Norfolk on July 24, 1820, Shrewsbury’s 224 not out is the highest score as yet made in a match of any importance at Lord’s—7 runs more than Mr. W. H. Hadow’s 217 for Middlesex v. M.C.C. and G. on June 12 and 13, 1871. Middlesex went in a second time in a minority of 287 runs, and the task proved far beyond their capacity. Mr. Webbe again played capital cricket, but the bowling of Wright, who took 8 wickets for 74,proved too good for the eleven generally, and Notts were finally left with an easy victory by an innings and 154 run s, Burton’s bowling for Middlesex is worthy of note.

Mainly through an extraordinary batting performance by Arthur Shrewsbury, helped at the finish by the good bowling of Walter Wright, the Nottinghamshire eleven were able to claim a very decisive victory in this match played at Lord’s on Thursday last and two following days. Though they won the toss Middlesex were all dismissed for a small total of 128, Messrs Scott and Webbe con­ tributing 80 of 117 got from the bat. With the exception of Shrewsbury, none of tbe earlierbatsmen of Notts but Scotton, who was in an hour and ten minutes for sixteen, could do very much against the excellent bowling of Burton, and when play ceased on Thurs­ day night they were only 11 runs on with Burton B 6,1 b 4 Tolal..........................128 N otts.

The Yorkshire eleven did another capital performance at Gloucester at the end of last week, defeating a strong team of Gloucester­ shire on Saturday by an innings and 4 runs. The Northerners winning the toss showed consistently good batting, and the innings was not completed until the second morning, Ulyett and Hall were two hours together, and their careful play was of immense use in taking off the edge of the Gloucestershire bowling. The first wicket did not fall until 98 runs had been got, of which Hall, the out- ffoer, had contributed 34 without a mistake. Ulyett, whose 73 was an excellent display, was bowled at 134, and on his retirement Bates and Grimshaw scored very freely, making while they were together 89 runs under the hour. Bates’ hitting in particular was very fine, and he was only an hour and a quarter at the wickets making his 70, in which were eleven fours. Lee, who like his predecessors did not give a chance, again showed to great advantage and he was in just two hours for his 68, avery useful innings in every way; When Gloucestershire went in no one but Mr. W, G. Grace, whose 54 was well worthy of his reputation, and Mr, Townsend made a very long stand, and six of the eleven, as will be seen, were only accountable for an aggregate of 17 runs. Following on in a minority of 226, Messrs. Grace and Gilbert played very fine cricket, and when play ceased on Friday night the score was 107 for one wicket, the two bats­ men having made 80 before Mr. Grace was caught. On resuming on Saturday morn­ ing, Mr, Gilbert, who had made 58 over­ night, stayed until after luncheon time and was not dismissed until he had reached 102. His play considering the circumstances can not be too highly commended. He was altogether at the wickets for about four hours, and his batting throughout was most creditable. His figures were 8 fours, 8 threes, 12 twos, and 24 singles. Though the score was 207 for five wickets Harrison bowled with such extraordinary success that only 15 runs were added. The fast bowler, indeed, when he came on again did an extraordinary performance, getting five wickets at a cost of only 2 runs.
