Cricket 1886

AUG. 26, 1886. CRICKET: A WL ".ELY RECORD OF THE GAME. 375 KENT v. LANCASHIRE. The Kent Eleven are to be congratulated on a meritorious victory over Lancashire in the return match, played at Maidstone on Monday and Tuesday. The ground from the com­ mencement favoured the bowlers considerably, and the scoring on both sides was so low that the game was overby a quarterpastthree o’clock on the second afternoon. In all, only 322 runs were got for thirty-one wickets, an average of under 10£ runs. Not one of the three innings completed reached 90, and the highest indi­ vidual score until the finish was Mr. Rash- leigh’s 28 in the first hands. Barlow bowled withi success for Lancashire, but the best petformances with the ball were those of Wootton and Martin for Kent. The former bowled throughout the match, and indeed, the only change'ioij the Kent side was the substi­ tution of Alec Hearne for *Martin for two overs in Lancashire’s first innings. Wootton has rarely, if ever, proved more effective. Alto­ gether he delivered 61 overs and 3 balls for 64 runs and thirteen wickets, or an average of under five runs—figures quite out of the common. Martin followed up his succbss at the Oval with another notable achievement. His seven wickets cost 77 runs. Frank Hearne, who in his last three innings had failed to score, made amends by a very well hit score of 56 not out at the close. In his figures were eight 4’s, two 3’s, and six2*S. Kent won by nine wickets. L ancashire . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. A. N.

The Surrey eleven brought their more im­ portant County fixtures to a close at Clifton yesterday with a victory over Gloucestershire. Though the home team won the toss Surrey had a little in hand throughout and won in the end with eight wickets to spare. For this success, they were mainly indebted to the bril- iant batting of Mr. W. W. Read and their gen­ erally effective bowling. In the match alto­ gether Mr. Read scored 170 for only once out, or more than half of the runs made by the Surrey eleven. The two Reads in the first innings added 99 for the third wicket, and the amateur was in while 208 were added, of which his individual share was 120. His play all-round was of the most masterly character, and he has not been seen to greater advantage for a long time. He was at the wickets three hours and thirty-five minutes. The out-cricket of the Surrey eleven, too, was good, and this will be understood when it is seen that Mr. Radcliffe’s second score of 40was the highest individual contribution on the side of Gloucestershire. Surrey with 94 to win yesterday, lost two good wickets, those of Abel and Diver, very quickly. Messrs. Shuter and Read though, soon placed the issue beyond doubt, and they knocked off the runs still wanting without another fall, both playing excellent cricket. G loucestershire . First Innings. Mr. W.

Some high scoring marked the return match between these Counties, finished at Brighton yesterday. Last year in each innings Ulyett and Hall made over a hundred runs before a wicket fell, and though the former this time was not so successful the Yorkshire captain, Hall, and Bates were in rare form for run- getting. Mr. Hawke made 144 out of 219 while he was in, and his score, the highest innings he has ever played in an important match, was an exceptionally good display of vigorous and well-timed hitting. During the three hours and a quarter he was at the wickets he gave no actual chance, and, indeed, his only two mistakes were after he had got 110. His figures included seventeen fours and seventeen tlirees. When Yorkshire went in a second time on Tuesday afternoon in a majority of 61 runs, a remarkable stand was made by Bates and Hall. The former hit with the greatest freedom, while his partner played his usual steady game, and all the changes of bowling tried by the Sussex captain proved ineffectual to part them before the end of the second day. At this time the total was 182 with no wicket down, Bates 136 and Hall 43. Bates was missed twice, in the slips at 16, and at long-on at 71, but his performance, on the whoie, was a very remarkable one, and cleaner or more powerful hitting has rarely, if ever, been seen. On resuming yesterday Bates was dismissed without another run, and though Hall by admirable cricket increased his score to 92 before he had to retire, at luncheon time five more wickets had fallen for an addition of 101 runs. Peel, Grimshaw, and Wade subse­ quently hit freely, and the innings eventually closed for 343. Sussex, who wanted 405 to win, when they went in again during the time that remained for play made 173 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. The game was accordingly drawn, Sussex being 231 behind with five wickets to fall. Altogether 1,023 runs were scored for thirty-five wickets, against 1,039 for twenty-six wickets in the same match of 1885. Y orkshire . First Innings. Second Innin s. Hall, b J.
