Cricket 1886

450 CBIOKET: A WEEKLY EECOBD OP SHE GAME. OCX. 28, 1880. his let off, early in the innings, Key had played good cricket, though somewhat slow. Buckland and Turner added.runs at a great pace; the Cantab'was in fine {form :and scored off every ball. He had made 57 in an hour and a half when Bell-bowled him.. His hitting had been -very clean and he made ho mistakes, Stumps were then drawn for the day—score, 206for5wickets. Play was resumed on Monday at 1.30. We failed to increase our score to any great extent. Buokland was bowled for 25; Cobb made 14; Rotherham hit very hard for 20. The innings closed for 257. Against this formidabl * total the Montreal team made a very poor show, three men only reaching double figures. Lacey made 24 by very painstaking play, Boakes (their wicket­ keeper) scored 12, while Beevor hit well for his i4. Hine-Haycock made two excellent catches in the long-field. Their score amounted to 85. Roller’s bowling was irresistible—he took 18 wickets for 36. Our fielding was very poor, or Roller’s analysis Svould have been even better. The Montreal papers were of opinion that his delivery was questionable, which would be rather a surprise to an English audience. On Tuesday tho game was concluded. Montreal made a very poor show, only sooring 62. The wicket was much cut up and helped Roller and Buckland considerably. The wickets were divided between the pair. The result was a viotory in an innings by 107 runs. In the evening of Monday a ball was given in our honour. E nglish G entlem en . H. W . Bainbridge, c Gough, b Sillfi ... 47 Rev. A. T.

Fifteen runs were quicklyscored,whenMansfieldwaseasily caught by Key at third man. The store advanced to 26, when Cobb caught Bixby. Matters now went badly, as Chambers, Appleton, and Wright were quickly dismissed, Roller being responsible for all the wiokets. Hubbard hit freely for 14, when he was caught at the wicket. The score advanced slowly with Mc- Kean and Stuart in to 72, when Roller bowled both batsmen. The lunoheon bell rang at this point. After lunch wickets fell fast, Dutton alone scoring double figures, the total being 96. Roller again bowled with remark­ able success, taking 11 wiokets for 44. We beg&n batting at 3.30. The start was inaus­ picious, as at 7 Bainbridge was clean bowled, and without alteration of the figures Key was magnificently caught at extra short slip. Hay­ cock failed to score and Turner joined Roller, who appeared in good form. At 20 Turner was caught at mid-off. Fortescue made 12 by SoiriO lucky hits. Buckland; c$me. in,;and ;a Slight stand was made. The light no^r be­ came. very bad as . the sun got low. At 50 Roller*fell a victim to Wright. He had played an invaluable innings of 28. Cobb, after mak­ ing lj was caUght at the wicket, while Buck­ land, after having Jplayed well for 19, was Easily caught at slip. 8 for 65. Rotherham tnade 5 before Chambers bowled him. Cottrell AndWelman took the score to 77 before the latter was caught at third man. Second day, Thursday, Sept. 16. With a inajority of 19, Boston sent in Mansfield and Jjubbard. Roller dean bowled Mansfield at 1. At 16 Hubbard, who had made some hard tits, was caught at mid-on off Cottrell. Bixby p.nd McKean added 2 when rain fell in tor­ rents, and it was decided to abandon the game for the day, Longwood being 27 on with twelye wickets to fall. . Third day, September 17. The rain had made the ground very heavy, and to make jnatters worse the sun came Out with tre­ mendous strength. No one was prepared, in spite pf the pondition of, the ground, fpr such an absolute collapse. The re­ maining twelve wickets only added 25 runs, and no one* reached double figures. Viotim after victim fell to Buckland, who with Cot­ trell shared the attack and seemed almost un­ playable. Our fielding showed much im­ provement, both Fortescue and Buokland effeoting splendid catches. With Longwood out for 43, we wanted 63 to win, no mean task on such a wicket, with 15 in tho field. Roller and Bainbridge began the task. Roller hit Wright out of the ground, but was then very cleverly taken by Hubbard at slip. Key made only one when he returned a bumpy ball to Wright. Two for 6. Haycock made 4 when he was bowled off his pads by Chambers. Three for 15. Turner joined his fellow Cantab. 20 soon after appeared and Turner gave a difficult chance to mid-on. Bainbridge drove Wright for 4, 2, and a single in one over, but in Chambers’next overhe wascaught in the slips. His innings of 23 was an admir­ able performance, and went a long way towards winning the game. Fortescue and Turner brought up 40, when Chambers dismissed the Parson. Buckland came in, and Lovett super­ seded G. Wright. His third ball clean bowled Turner. Six for 50. Turner made a useful 12. Cobb joined Buckland, and the game became exciting as 13 runs were wanting and 4 wickets were to fall. The pair showed admirable judgment in stealing runs. At 56 Buckland made a tame stroke into short-leg’s hands. Cottrell then came in and with Cobb scored the necessary 7. We won the match, which was the most exciting of the tour, by 3 wickets.

As there was no chance of finishing the game there was very little interest displayed. In our first innings we made 116. Key and Cottrell each made 20, when the former was bowled off his body. Cottrell hit very hard and carried out his bat. Cobb and Bainbridge also made double figures. New England went in next morning. Comber and Blandmade apro­ tracted stand, but no one else except Hubbard did anything. Cottrell was the most success­ ful bowler, and Key, who went on later* took 3 wickets for 10. Bland’s 41 was th« best innings played against us on the tour, considering the nature of the wicket. There was some little excitement as to the result of the first innings, the New Englanders falling short of our total by only 7 runs. In our second innings Cottrell displayed fine form, and Bainbridge and Cobb also played well. Pettitt, the well-known tenuis player, was the most successful bowler. Our total at 4.30 stood at 136 for seven wickets, when stumps were drawn for the day. E nglish G entlemen . First Innings T. It. Hine-Haycock, c O’Hair, b Comber.......... 0 K.
