Cricket 1886

JULY 8,1886. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 255 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SUSSEX. The Gloucestershire eleven gained their first victory of the season at Gloucester on Satur­ day, winning their return match against Sussex with lOUuns to spare. Neither County was represented by its best eleven, Messrs. Brain, Bush, and Page, in addition to Woof, bein" absent from Gloucestershire, and Messrs. Newham, F. M. Lucas, and Brann from Sussex. Though Gloucestershire, who won the toss, lost three good wickets for seven, some fine batting by Messrs. W. G. Grace, Francis (who only gave one chance just before he was out), and Townsend enabled them to reach a total of 293. The two first-named put on 80 for the fourth wicket, while Messrs Townsend and Turner made a useful stand at the close, adding 68 for the last wicket. Thanks chiefly to Humphreys and Tester, both of whom played excellent cricket, Sussex were able to save the follow-on, though they were 69 behind on the first hands. At the end of the second day Gloucestershire had scored 125 in their second innings for the loss of only two wickets, Mr. E. M. Graoe having hit very well for 61. The rest of the eleven, though, did little, and the tenth wicket fell early on Saturday for an addition of 72 runs. With 267 to win Sussex made a bad start, and three wickets were down for 27. Though later on Jesse Hide hit very well, and Quaife and Humphreys again played good cricket, the tail made a very poor show and the innings closed for 160. Gregg took three of the last wickets at a cost of only 19 runs. G lo u c este r sh ir e . First Innings. Dr.E. M. Grace, c andbA. Hide ............................... 5 Mr. O. G.

Surrey’s victorious career received a check at Liverpool on Saturday, when the eleven were decisively beaten by Lancashire by an innings and 27 runs. Mr. Shuter was fortunate enough to win the toss, and Surrey were able to reach a total of 229, of which 133 were contributed by Messrs. Read and Roller. The former, who made 95 out of 135 while in, showed to greater advantage than in any other match of the season, playing in his very best style. Lan cashire lost Barlowat 16, but Messrs. A. G. Steel, who made his first appearance of tho year in first-class oricket, and Hornby punished ih^ Surrey bowlers severely. Beau­ mont, owing to a strained le" was not able to play on this oocasion, and his bowling was greatly missed. The two batsmen named had added 164 runs for the second wieket when Mr. Steel was well caught at point. The only semblance of a ehance in nis brilliant innings was a difficult one of stumping when he had made seven. Mr. Hornby con­ tinued to bat in fine form till he was at last stumped after contributing 161 of 321 runs. He ought to have been caught at long slip wrhen he had got 36, and was missed at long on when he had reached 118. These though were his only errors, and his display was the more re­ markable as it was his second innings of three figures for Lancashire during the week. He was batting for just under five hours, and his principal hits were fifteen fours and ten threes. Briggs, who helped Mr. Hornby to add 140 for the fourth wicket, hit freely for 76, and later on Mr. Lancashire and Watson put on 41, the total ultimately reaching the large sum of 424. Surrey wranted 193 to save the innings, and as the wicket helped the bowlers materially on Saturday, this was a difficult task. Mr. Read and his namesake, the professional, put on 67 for the sixth wicket, but excepting Lohmann, no one else got over twenty runs, Mr. Steel taking seven wickets for 95 runs. The easy win of Lancashire was, indeed, in a great measure due to his all-round cricket, as besides making 83 he took eleven wickets for 196 runs. L a n c a sh ir e . Mr. A. N.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Some heavy scoring was the result of this the last of the University trial matches, at Lord’s, on Thursday and Friday last. The wicket wras in fine condition, ana during the two days to w'hich this contest is limited, 879 runs were totalled for 23 wickets, an average of over 34 runs. The out-cricket of the University was by no means up to the best standard. The bowling, though it must be stated that Mr. Whitby wras not present on the second day, too, was not in any way formidable, and the fielding and wicket-keep­ ing were alike uncertain. On the other hand the batting against the bowling of Wootton, Burton, Hearne and West showed to great advantage, and Messrs. Page, Hildyard, Rashleigh, Buckland, and Key all played capital cricket. Messrs. Vernon, Webbe, and Russel were responsible for 304 of an aggre­ gate of 387 made by M.C.C. from the bat. Mr. Webbe batted in his very best form, but the feature of the innings was the spirited hitting of Mr. Vernon. He made 160 out of the last 225 runs, and though he gave several chances his score was a fine exhibition of determined hitting. In his figures were twenty-two fours. At the finish Oxford were still 36 behind with seven wickets to fall. O xf o r d U n iv e r sity . First Innings. Mr. K. J. Key, c West, b B urton................. 0 Mr. E. H.
