Cricket 1886

834 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OP THE GAME. AUG. 12,1886. Shaw,Lillywhite, W. Humphreys, and Mr. W. Blackman. The memorable stand of Phillips and Mr. G. N. Wyatt for Sussex against the Australians, at Brighton, on July 24, 1894, was one of the most remarkable episodes of the tour of the Fourth Australian Te mi. This was, we need hardly add, the Sussex wicket- keeper’s greatest record as a run-getter. The stand of these two batsmen will always be memorable in the annals of Sussex cricket. Despite every possible change of bowling by the Australian Captain, Phillips helped almost to double the score for the eighth wicket, and 182 rims had been added to the total before Mr. Wyatt was bowled. The wicket-keeper’s brilliant score of 111 only, it may be added, contained one chance, when he had got ninety- two, and so pleased were the spectators with his success, that a sum of twenty-one guineas was collected on the ground on his behalf. There has always been an individuality in Phillips’ wicket-keeping which, in style at least, has prevented a comparison with any of his rivals. He has had an advantage, and an important one, in being ambidextrous, and as he has always been particularly quick on his legs, and sharp in getting after the ball, some of the catches he has made have been really extraordinary. Though careful to avoid the “ gallery” style of some great wicket-keepers, he is, on the other hand, remarkably sure, both in catching and stumping. Many bats­ men, too, have had occasion to know that he is a dead shot at the wicket. A keen sportsman, without losing a chance for his side, it may be stated to his credit that he is scrupulously fair, certainly not addicted to appealing on the smallest pretext. He bowls slow left- handed round-arm, and in the early part of his career was often of use to his county. He is a right-handed bat, and though his style is not taking his is often a difficult wicket to take, as he has excellent defence, and having a good eye at times scores fast, placing the ball well, particularly on the off-side. Our portrait is from a photograph by Hawkins & Co., 108, King’s Road, Brighton. THE CANTERBURY WEEK. KENT v. YORKSHIRE. The Kent Eleven brought the forty-fifth Canterbury Week to a brilliant conclusion on Saturday with a second victory, this time defeating Yorkshire with six wickets to spare. The St. LawTeilce Ground at the start had completely recovered from the heavy rain of Monday, and the home team, going in first, made a very respectable total of 335. The honours of this performance rested on Mr. C. Wilson and George Hearne, and indeed, while they were together, it looked as if the aggre­ gate would be very much larger. The two batsmen became partners on the fall of the second wicket at 89, just after luncheon on Thursday, and were not separated until the following morning, when Mr. Wilson was stumped with the score at 301. During their stay as many as 215 runs had been added by batting of the highest order, Hearne’s consis­ tent caution showing in bold relief against the amateur’s more vigorous and attractive style. Mr. Wilson was in four hours and a quarter, while his partner, who was out at 322, was batting altogether five hours and a half. After Mr. Wilson’s departure came an extraordinary collapse. Emmett bowled, indeed, with such remarkable success, that the last six wickets only added 31 runs, the left-hander on Friday morning taking all the six w’ickets at a cost of only six runs, a great performance. Yorkshire began very badly when their turn came to bat, and the total was only 81 on the fall of the eighth wicket. Hall, who had been playing with all his woi ted care, however, found a useful ally in Emmett, who hit wrell at times, and the two professionals defied all the- Kentish bowling for an hour and a half, adding 91 while they were together. Hall carried his bat through the innings for a aultless score of 74. In following on in a minority of 162, the Yorkshiremen made a better show, helped to a certain extent by mistakes in the field. Bates and Preston both hit hard, but the honours, as before, rested with Hall, who going in this time second wicket down againcarriedout his bat. He only gave one chance in the second inningswhenhehad scored 28. Kent got the 64 runs wanted to win for the loss of four batsmen. Emmett’s all-round cricket was certainly one of the best features of the match. In addition to his two scores of 48 and 10, he took nine Kent wickets at a cost of 82 runs. Alec Hearne was responsible for ten Yorkshire wickets fjr an average of just over 14 runs. K ent . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr,.W. H.
