Cricket 1885

364 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. aug. 27 , ins. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. After three days of excellent all-round cricket the return match between these CouDties, begun on the Trent Bridge Ground at Nottingham, on Thursday last, was left in an unfinished s'ate. The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton, who had played at Sheffield earlier in the week, was absent from the Middlesex eleven, and Mr. Williams kept wicket in hi3 stead. Otherwise both Counties were well represented, Alfred Shaw reappearing in the Nottinghamshire team, while B^an took the place of Selby. Middle­ sex won the toss and Messrs. Stoddart and Buckland commenced so well that 102 runs were made before the latter was bowled. The two Amateurs, neither of whom had given a chance, had been together for an hour and thirty-five minutes, and their performance against such bowling as that of Notts was a highly creditable one. Mr. Stoddart, who made his debut in county cricket in the early part of the week, fully confirmed his promise of the Yorkshire match, hitting after he got in with great freedom. Five batsmen subsequently got into double figures, though the most note­ worthy feature of the remainder of the innings was the defence of Mr. Webbe, who was in over two hours for his 24 not) ont, When Nottinghamshire went in|Shrewsbury, Scotton, and Barnes were dismissed very cheaply, and three of the best batsmen on the side were out for forty-three. Gunn and Flowers, however, played capital cricket, and their stand resulted in the addition of 69 runs, entirely altering the aspect of the game. Gunn, while he was in, saw the score raised from 38 to 178, and of the 140 tuns made he had contributed 59 with only one hard chance to long • on when he had got 34. Six wickets were down for 151 at luncheon time on the second day, and there seemed a go id chance that Middlesex would have a lead on the first innings. The last five batsmen of Notts, however, played up so well that the home team were able to claim an advantage of 32, Shaw and Sherwin putting on 45 for the last wicket. Mr. O’Brien batted in his best style on Saturday for Middlesex, and later on, some very steady cricket by Messrs. Paravicini and Butler, -who were together an hour for twenty-five runs, proved of great use, when the only chance for the visitors was a drawn game, Notts, on going in a second time, had to get 113 to win, and when play ceased, 39 had been made for the loss of one batsman, the match thus being drawn —Notts wanting 79 to win, with nine wickets to fall.

PLAYERS OF KENT. The Players of Kent had a very easy victory in this match, arranged to take the place of the return fixture between Kent and Lanca­ shire, and played at Tonbridge on Thursday and Friday last. Seven of the Players got double figures, Pentecost, who hit with unexpected freedom, being the chief contrib­ utor, with 65. The batting of the Gentlemen was generally disappointing. Mr. Patterson played well, but the principal honours fell to Mr. Stanley Christopherson, who hit freely, making the top score in each innings. P layers . F.

Somersetshire was only able to send nine men to Southampton on Thursday last for its return match with Hampshire, and the home team had, in consequence, a great advantage, enabling them to secure an easy victory with 8 wickets to spire. The chief features of the match were the good batting of Messrs. Radcliffe and Winter for Somer­ setshire, of Messrs. Powell and Ca’der for Hampshire, and the effective bowling of Mr. Bastard. The Oxford slow bowler indeed did a capital performance in the first inn­ ings of Hants,taking eight of the ten wickets at a cost of only 59 runs. Mr. H. W. Forster, of the Eton eleven, made his firfct appearance for Hampshire in this match. H am pshire . First Innings*. Mr. D. Duncan,b Bas­ tard ..........................25 Mr R. G.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SURREY. The Glouoeatershiie eleven brought tlifl Cheltenham week to a brilliant conclusion on Saturday last, defeating Surrey with nine wickets to spare. Mr. Shuter won the toss, but the Surrey batting was very disappointing. Abel and Mr. W,W. Read alone shov ed to real advantage, and th ese two batsmen contri­ buted 129 to a total of 194 from the 1at. Abel followed up hiB brilliant pricket against Lancashire earlier in the week by another capital display. He went in first and car ried out his bat with only one hard ohance to
