Cricket 1886

i88 CRICKETs A -V.lEKLl? RECORD OP THE GAME. JUttE 10,1886. wich between the Royal Artillery and Mr. Fowler’s Eleven. Capt. Johnson, of the 50th Regt., who was playing for the lattter, cut a ball for two runs. His bat was bound at the bottom with string, which became unravelled to the length of about a yard when he was making his two runs. The batsman, in ignorance that the string was loose, cut at the next ball, and the end of the string removed the leg bail. He was given out hit wicket. I f I remember rightly, I had occasion to notice two cases of the same kind during the summer of 1885. I s e e it is stated that, in all probability, Major Wardill, the manager of the Aus­ tralian team, will fill up the only vacant date now remaining in their programme —the days before the last of the three England fixtures, to be begun at the Oval on Aug. 12—with a match at Derby, against either a Northern or an England team. The Australians will appear at Chiswick Park on July 2 and 3, not, as previously stated, on July 1 and 2. They will have to meet an eleven selected by Mr. C. I. Thornton. N o t t s an d S u r r e y will meet for the first time this season on Monday at Not­ tingham. The elevens will, I understand, be as follows: Notts—Mr. H. B. Daft, Shaw, Shrewsbury, Attewell, Barnes, Gunn, Scotton, Sherwin, Flowers, Selby, and Walter Wright. Surrey—Messrs. J. Shuter, W. W. Read, W . E. Roller and Abel, Diver, Read, Lohmann, Bowley, Beaumont, Jones, and Wood. A c o r r e s p o n d e n t who signs himself “ Etiquette ” sends me the foliowhig :— As your columns are always open to the advancement of cricket generally, I take it for granted you will find a small space to ventilate a grievance which should not have occurred when sixpenny telegrams are in vogue. Last Saturday a deal of trouble was taken to get a 2nd XI. team together to oppose Park House School at Sidcup, which was in accordance with the S.C.C. list of fixtures. The Sidcup players turned up exact to time, viz., 2.30, but not a single member of Park House School appeared on the ground, and no communica­ tion whatever was received by the captain of the club, or the match manager for that day— which was most aggravating.

A fter three days of interestingcricket the first match of the season between these counties ended yesterday at L ord’s in a drawn game. The wicket was in excellent condition, and a strange contrast to the previous experiences of this season,; so much in favour of the batsmen that bowlers wTere seen to great disadvantage In the three days 1,093 runs were totalled with only twenty-four wickets down, giving an average of over 32 runs, a remarkable perform ­ ance, considering that the season is so young and that the grounds so far have prevented batsmen getting very m uch practice. The chief scorers in the first innings were Spillman, the professional who made his first appearance for the county just a fortnight since, and the Hon. M. B. Hawke, who has not figured frequently of late in the Yorkshire eleven. Spillman’s first innings was brilliant. H e m et all the Yorkshire bowlers \uth equal confidence and a better display has not been seen at L ord’s for a long time. H e scored fifty runs in fifty m inutes, and R . Thom s, who we believe is m ainly responsible for his introduction into the Middlesex eleven, has every reason to be pleased at the brilliant success of his nominee. '(Yorkshire when they went in a second time .punished the weak bowling of Middlesex severely. U lyett in an hour and a half made 75 of 106 got when ho retired, the first wicket down. Peel, Emm ett, and Lee sub?equcntly scored well. H all was nearly five he ursatthe wickets for his 91. The total ultimately reached 409. W ith 455to win Middlesex entered on their second innings at 1.50 yester­ day afternoon. During the four hours and a half that remained some excellent cricket was shown against the good bowling of Yorkshire, and when play ceased 255 had been made for the loss of only four wickets, a performance reflecting the highest credit on the Middlesex batsmen. A t the finish they were still 199 behind with six wickets to fall. Y orkshire . First Innings. Second Innings.
