Cricket 1886

804 CEICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 29,1886. KENT v. SURREY. The Surrey eleven succeeded in winning their first fixture of the season against Kent at Beckenham on Saturday, two minutes before time. It was the first County match played on the prettyground of the Beckenham Club, and as the wicket, which had been care­ fully prepared by the ground man, Tate, wore well, some capital batting was shown on both sides. Surrey had the advantage in going in first, and though three of the best batsmen were out for 30, the innings did not close till half-past one o’clock on Friday after­ noon. The two Reads made the first stand, and 125 runs, the result of admirable cricket, were added while they were together. Even this performance, though, was beaten for the sixth wicket by Mr. Roller and Lohmann, whose partnership was productive of 144. The professional hit with great determination, and he was credited with 107 (tho first innings of three figures he has made) of the 144 runs. His score, which contained as many as fifteen fours, contained no chance. Mr. Roller, who was' in while 278 runs were got, carried out his bat for 102, an excellent display in every way, and without a mistake, so far as we could see. On Friday night Kent had lost four good wickets for 87, and this number was advanced to 248 on Saturday, before the innings closed. The chief merit of the performance rested with Mr. Marchant, of the Cambridge eleven. Though let off atthe wicket when he had made 19, his 96, which included twelve fours, was an excellent display of determined hitting. When Kent followed on in a minority of 192, Mr. Marchant was again seen to great advan­ tage, and George Hearne’s batting was once more of great service. With the exception of an easy chance to Bowley at mid-on, when he had got 23, the former’s second innings was, like the first, in every way deserving of praise. S u r r e y . First Innings.

On Thursday seven Lancashire wickets were dismissed for 143, of which 72 were con­ tributed by Briggs, who hit in determined style. The weather only held up sufficiently on Friday to allow of the completion of the innings, and play indeed only lasted half- an-hour, during which time 41 runs were scored. The wicket had suffered appre­ ciably from the rain when Gloucestershire went in on Saturday, and as Mr. W. G. Grace had to retire with a hurt finger they were seen to further disadvantage. Briggs bowled with great success, and had the fielding not been faulty the total would not have reached 119. When Lancashire went in again Mr. Hornby hit in his best style, and he was credited with 66 of 84 runs while he was at the wickets. No one else except Mr. Haigh, who was twice missed, made any stay and eight of the eleven together only contributed 15 runs. Mr. W. G. Grace was very effective with the ball, taking five wickets for 60 runs. Briggs’ figures, though, were the best of the match. His seven wickets cost 50 runs. L a n c a sh ir e . First Innings.
