Cricket 1886

APRIL 29, 1886. CEICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 93 leading authorities. Mr. Gale refers to him indeed as the “ walking dictionary.” Though actively and chiefly associated with the Maryle­ bone Club his interest was not confined to Lord’s. He was present at the meeting at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, which re­ sulted in the institution of the Surrey County Club in 1845. He pointed in hi5 remarks on that occasion to the glories of Surrey in days gone by, and reminded the meeting that Surrey had not only been once able to play All England, but that it had won the game against extra numbers on some occasions, and had given men on others. Mr. Ward was a regular attendant at the Oval, too, in the early days of the County Clue. THE NOTTS COLTS MATCH. Exceptionally fine weather attracted an unusually large number of spectators to the Trent Bridge Ground on Easter Monday to Witness the commencement of the annualtrial match. The wicket played well, so that some good batting was shown by the Colts, who, according to custom, went in first. Shaw and Shacklock opened the bowling for the Eleven, and the latter, whose reappearance in the Notts Eleven, after playing two years with Derbyshire, has given rise to considerable comment, proved very effective. He bowled Budd, a youngster who showed some promise last year, with his first ball, and took the six first wickets of the match for 22 runs. The colts began badly, losing ten wicketsin anhour for 30 runs. Alcock, though at first shaky, afterwards showed steady cricket. Jackson and Butler were seen to advantage, the former being not out for 21 at luncheon, when the score stood at 66 for thirteen wickets. Jackson, who showed good defence and hitting hard on the leg side, was joined after luncheon by Harris, of Kimberley, playing as substitute for Edwards, who is indisposed. This pair showed the best cricket of the day, Harris not only playing in good form but hitting well. They put on 40 runs while together after luncheon, when Barnes beat Jackson. Hulme’s display was very fluky, but Harris was unfortunately caught and bowled just after the last man came in. Jackson’s chief hits were three 4’s, one 3, and nine 2’s ; Harris’s four 4’s, two 3’s, and two 2’s. The innings closed at twenty minutes to six o’clock, and when play ceased on the first day, the Eleven had made 8 without the loss of a wicket, with Shrewsbury and Scotton in. Beautitiful weather greeted the resumption of the game on Tuesday morning. Butler and Sharpe started the bowling, and the latter (medium- pace right) got rid of both Shrewsbury and his successor Barnes without any addition to the total. Gunn then joined Scotton, and the two batsmen defied several bowling changes, the latter playing steady and sound cricket. The first 100 appeared after three hours and five minutes’ play, and soon after the resumption following the interval, Gunnwas cleverly taken behind the wicket. His partnershipwith Scotton had added96runs. The former,though he batted freely, gave four chances, the first when he was 14. Flowers followed, but was soon had at the wicket. Selby batted with great care, and was in fifty minutes for his score of 9. Scotton, after seeing Shacklock retire, was bowled by Mee. His 80 was the result of very careful and good cricket. He was at the wicket five hours without giving a chance, his chief hits being four 4’s, two 3’s, and six 2’s. Shaw and Sherwin, the two last batsmen, both hit hard, and 43 runs were added before the innings ended. Sharpe, Butler, and Taylor were the most likely of the Colts tried with the ball. The first-named proved very effective, his analysis showing 26 overs, of which 20 were maidens, for 6 runs and two wickets. The match was drawn after two days' good crioket. C olts . J E.
