Cricket 1886

JUNE 17, 1886. CRICKET: A WEERLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 208 M ID D L E SE X v. G LO U CE STE R SH IR E Despite considerable interference from rain> the Middlesex eleven were able on Saturday afternoon to win their first match of the sea­ son w ith Gloucestershire, begun at Lord’s on Thursday, with six wickets to spare. Glouces­ tershire, though better represented than against Sussex in the early part of the week, had not its strength, Messrs. Page and Brain as well as W oof being unable to play. Though Gloucestershire had the advantage in batting first after the rain on Thursday morning at the end of the first, hands Middlesex had a lead o f 57 runs. This was chiefly due to the excellent batting of Mr. Stanley Scott, Spill­ man, who made 121 while together, and Mr. J. G. Walker, who were responsible for 182 of 280 from the bat. Spillman again played fine cricket, fully confirm ing the repu­ tation he won by his brilliant batting against Yorkshire. The chief feature of the second innings of Gloucestershire was the remarkable perform ance of Mr. Radcliffe. He gave a hard chance before he had made a run, but afterwards his play was without a mistake. His feat in carrying his bat through the innings is of such rare occurrence in county matches as to m erit conspicuous notice. W ith 151 to win, Messrs. Stoddart and W alker made a capital start for Middlesex, and 84 had been got before the form er was out. Despite, however, two interruptions from rain the runs wanted were obtained for the loss of only three other batsmen, Spillman again showing capital form for his 39. In the three days 871 runs were scored for thirty-four wickets. GliOUCESTERSHIRE. First Innings. Mr. E.M. Grace, b Dunkley 6 Mr. O. G.

The Oxford University Eleven brought their hom e fixtures to a close with this match played in the Parks at Oxford on Thursday last and tw o following days. Rain prevented a commencement until 4.30 on the first after­ noon, and when stumps were drawn on Saturday night the game was unfinished, Lancashire having 92 to get, with nine wickets to fall. Though 80 runs behind on the first hands, the University eleven made a highly creditable show when they went in again. Mr. Rashleigh, the Tonbridge captain of 1885, played sterling cricket, in fact, his sixty-tliree was an innings of exceptional merit. H e was in two hours, and there was not a mistake of any kind during his stay. Messrs. Page and H ewett also hit freely, and the latter, a left- handed batsman, who scored well last year for Somersetshire against Surrey and Hants, sent Barlow twice to square leg over the boundary for six. W ith 198 to win, Mr. Lancashire and Barlow put on 84 for the county, and the form er was the only batsman out when play ceased w ith the total at 105. Mr. E . C. H ornby, a left-handed batsman, hit with great freedom in Lancashire’s first innings. Out of 157 made from the bat he scored 82 (in which were two sixes), or more than one half. W hile he was in with Briggs, 90 runs were added for the fifth wicket. O xford U n iversity . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. J. H.

Hawke and Emm ett, had an easy victory in their first meeting with Cheshire. The match, which took place at Stockport on Friday and Saturday last, ended in the defeat of the home County by an innings and 43 runs. The Yorkshire success was chiefly due to the fine batting of Bates, the effective bowling of Peate, and the good all-round cricket of Peel. In addition to a good score of 61, the last-named took six wickets in Cheshire’s second innings at a cost of only nine runs. Mr. Crosfield, Brown, and Millward were the chief scorers for Cheshire. The first named showed good cricket each time. Y o r k sh ir e . Ulyett, c and b Brown 5 i Am* ler, c Pickworth, Hall, b Bretherton ...
