Cricket 1885

auo . 6, 1885. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 313 included Capt. Johnstone, o f D erby­ shire, and Messrs. L . A . and J. Shuter, had been dismissed for a small total of 77. P lay ceased at 6.30, and the two batsmen were still in with the score 470, Mr. W ilson having made 246 and Mr. Wyld 203. During the four hours runs had been made at the rate of 117^ in the hour, and an extra­ ordinary feature of the performance is that only one chance— and that a difficult one, low down to point— was given by the two batsmen during their long partnership. A Northern paper states that Mr. W yld played for Kent some years ago. Mr. W il­ son has several times represented that County, but not Mr. W yld, The latter, who is an old Alleynian, now in the Hampshire Regiment, played for Surrey in 1880, and, as I remem ber well, his excellent cricket at the finish, when the result was very doubtful, conduced chiefly to the victory of Surrey over Sussex at the Oval that season. to C r ic k e t readers to k n o w that the Uppingham Captain, M r.L.Martineau, goes up to Cambridge, as does H . P. Jillard, o f the same School. Mr. A. C. Lascelles, another Uppinghamian, is, I believe, bound for Oxford. L o r d ’s has been the scene of some very high run-getting just recently Last week, I had occasion to comment on the tall scoring in the match between M.C.O. & Cr. and Norfolk on July 28 and 24. On that occasion, 992 runs were totalled in the two days for sixteen wickets, an average o f over 62 runs. At the commencement o f the follow ­ ing week, the Marylebone eleven were credited with 551 runs against Clifton College; in the next match, between JKugby and Marlborough, 906 runs were totalled for twenty-six wickets ; and again on the two succeeding days, 899 runs were got for thirty wickets, in the fixture between M.C.C. & G. and Rugby School. Since the 23rd o f July, innings o f 695, 551, 488, and 324, besides one score o f 388 for six wickets, have been recorded a tL ord ’s. T h e two scores o f 170 and 102 made in successive matches at L ord ’ s, by the Captain of the Rugby eleven, Mr. E . H . F . Bradby, will give additional interest to his future appearances on the cricket field. He goes up, I may state, to Oriel College, Oxford, and that University—which will also be able to claim the services of, among others, the W inchester Captain, Mr. A . L . Watson, and one o f the heroes o f the Harrow and E ton match, Mr. A . K, Watson, of Harrow— should have a good supply o f prom ising Freshmen next summer. It may be o f interest I am able to state, on the best authority, that the first official inti­ mation o f the probability o f a visit of Australian cricketers to England next summer has ju st reached E n g ­ land. Though at present unable to give particulars, there seems to be reasonable ground for believing that we shall have another Australian team over here in 1886. I hear, too, that another party o f English cricketers will probably leave fo r the Colonies at the close of next summer. T h e following are the prinoipal batting averages in all County and important matches in not less than fifteen completed innings, compiled up to Saturday last. Karnes. Innings.

In addition he made 28 not out at his first attempt, and going in tirst wicket in the second innings was out last for a very well-played 115. So unusual a performance well merits notice here. J. O.
