Cricket 1886

JULY 22,1886. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 287 GENTLEMEN v, PLAYERS. An excess of first-class cricket this summer has interfered with the success of more than on? of the English representative matches. At Lard’s, neither the Gentlemen nor the Players were in full strength, and in the match played at the Oval in the latter part of last week, the sides were in neither case the best. With the exception of the absence of Barlow and Briggs, who were playing for Lancashire against Essex, the Players were strong, so strong in fact, considering the weakness of the Amateurs, as to destroy most of the interest usually attaching to the meeting. Lord Harris was unable to play, and as Messrs. A. G. Steel, W. H. Patterson, C. W. Rock, A. N. Hornby and W. E. Roller were all absentees, it will be readily gathered that the eleven which repre­ sented the Gentlemen was a very moderate one. Despite this, however, some good cricket was shown on both sides, and on the whole the Gentlemen did fairly well, though the game was drawn altogether, in favour of the Players. Mr. W. G. Grace won the toss, and with his elder brother, who had not figured in this match for some years, made such a favourable commencement that 67 were got before- tho first wicket fell. Messrs. Radcliffe and Read lent useful assistance, and tbe score was 145 when the third wicket fell. After W.G.’s retirement, though, Earnes and Loh­ mann carried everything before them, and the last seven wickets only added 38 runs. Mr. Graoe was in his best form. He was in two hours and three quarters and gave no chance during his stay. The chief features of the Players’ innings were the excellent cricket of Shrewsbury and the fine hitting of Read. The former was run out on the first night before he had made many, but given in by the umpire, a piece of bad luck for the Gentlemen. Though he also gave a chance, rather a hard one, to cover-point on the first night, his play was worthy of his high reputation. He was at the wickets altogether four hours and a half. Going in a second time in a minority of 138, Mr. W. G. Grace again showed to great advantage, and when play ceased was not out 50, without, as far as we could see, anything like a chance. Rain prevented any play on Saturday, and the game was consequently drawn in favour of the Players, the Gentlemen being still 27 behind with six wickets to fall. Mr. W. G. Grace’s all-round cricket was certainly the feature of the matoh.. He got 115 runs for once out and took four wickets for 55 runs. Messrs. Radcliffe, Daft (a son of the veteran, Richard Daft), Turner and Dorman made their first appearance for the Gentlemen iu this match. G kn tlem en . First Innings. Mr. E. M.

The Cheshire eleven made a capital show in this return match, played at Hull on Friday and Saturday, and were only beaten after an exciting finish by two wickets. Ulyett and Peate were playing at the Oval for the Players, and the opportunity was taken to try two well- known local cricketers, Messrs. Harrison and Hart. The run-getting on both sides was below the average, and Mr. Crosfield, who carried his bat through the second innings of Cheshire for 52, an excellent display of steady cricket, was the highest scorer of the twenty-two. The finish was very exciting. Yorkshire, with only 111 to win, lost eight of their best wickets for 79, and with Hunter alone to follow Emmett and Lee the result seemed very doubtful. The two players last named, though, played very judiciously, and during their partnership the match was won. Peel took six Cheshire wickets for 26 runs. In-Cheshire’ssecond in­ nings Mr. Hart got three wickets withcon­ secutive balls. C h e s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. J. S.

Lancashire put a strongish eleven into the field at Manchester to oppose Essex, on Thurs­ day last, and the result was a decisive victory by an innings and 227 runs. Winning the toss the home team were in till nearly tho close of the first day for 378, to which three of the professionals, Barnes, Robinson and Yates, contributed 202. In the first innings of Essex Messrs. Owen and Buxton played well, but no one else on the side got double figures. When they went in again they were even less success­ ful, and the two innings together only lasted three hours. Barlow and Briggs bowled with great success for Lancashire. Each took nine wickets, the former for 63, the latter for 46 runs.' I A\CASH1RE. Mr. O. P. Lancashire, b Bishop ............. 24 R.G. Barlow, b Bishop 82 B.
