Cricket 1885

333 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. a d o . 20 , isss. was at the wickets two hours and a quarter for his 39 not out—helped greatly to save the match. Last year he was in capital form, and agninst every county, with the one exception of Yorkshire, he scored w«ll. For the third year in succession, though, he was seen to the best advantage at the Oval, and his 73 not out against Surrey was certainly one of the best displays of defen­ sive cricket we have ever seen. He was altogether four hours and a half at the wickets for his score, and despite a sticky wicket, never gave the semblance of a chance. But for his oare and judgment Kent must have been defeated. This season Mr. Pat­ terson has shown himself to be in better form for rungetting than ever. In proof of this statement it is only necessary to enumerate his latest scores in successive matches—67 and 58 at Canterbury, against Yorkshire and M.C.C and G. respectively, 143 against Sussex at Brighton, and 15 and 21 against Surrey at the Oval. Though he represented the Gentlemen of England against the Australians, and the Gentlemen against the' Players, at the Oval, both in 1882. it was not until 1885 that he made his firatappearance against the Players,at Lord’s. Possessed of great defence and unlimited patience, as a batsman Mr. Patterson is in­ valuable to a side. He watches the ball very carefully, and like Mr. Webbe is seen to un­ usual advantage on a sticky wicket, playing with judgment as well as care,even under con­ ditions of ground generally unfavourable to the bat. He is, too, a fine field anywhere, but more especially in the country, where he is always reliable. As a change bowler (medium round), though he has little practice now, he’ is ot times of use. Mr. l’atterson was born at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, on March 11th, 1859. cover-point, and then wickets fell so fast before the excellent bowling and fielding of the Lancashire team, that Beaumont,the last man, came in with only five runs to win. Mr. Diver, who had been batting with great judgment, however, did not give the profes­ sional the chance of a ball, and amidst great excitement, he got the runs wanted, the game having been extended bsyond two o’clock so as to prevent an interval for luncheon. The success of the Surrey eleven was greatly due to the admirable batting of Mr. Diver and Abel, and the excellent bowl­ ing 'of Jones in Lancashire’s first innings, This is the second match this year that Surrey has won by a wicket.

The Surrey eleven were able to claim a victory in their return match with Lan­ cashire at the Oval yesterday afternoon, winning after a most exciting finish, with only one wicket in hand. Neither side had quite its full strength, Mr. A. G. Steel and Pilling being absent from Lancashire, Messrs. Roller and Key from Surrey. The home team, who won the toss, made a good start, Mr. Shuter and Abel putting on 107 for the first wicket. After this, though, things d ii not go so well for Surrey, and it was in a great measure due to Mr. Diver’s brilliant play that they were able to reach arespectable total of 280. Mr. Diver’s 60 were got with­ out a chance, and his hitting all-round 'was very fine. He went in fourth wicket down at 162, and was seventh out at 246, having contributed 60 out of 84 runs while in. Though there were seven double figures in Lancashire’s first innings, they had to follow on in a minority of 113 runs, a result mainly due to the effective bowling of Jones, who took six wiekets at a cost of seventy-two runs. When they went in again some good cricket was shown, particularly by Briggs and Mr, Hildyard, and the last wicket did not fall till yesterday morning, when the total was 228. The wicket, even on the second day, had been helping the bowlers, aud though Surrey entered on their second innings with only 116 to win, there was every prospect of a close finish. Abel and Mr. Shuter were the first batemen, and the professional, who had batted very well in the first innings, again played fine cricket Most of the runs came from his hat, and when Mi. Shuter was caught at the wicket he had only got two out of thirty- fpvei! runs. A t 55 Abel was well caught at First Innings. Mr. A. N.
