Cricket 1886

OeT. 28, 1886. CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 455 Buckland was taken at slip. His innings of 82was an admirable one, being entirely free from anything like a chance, Fortescue scored 9 and was then caught at slip, the total being 214. On Cottrell joining Cobb, the Oxonian was bowled by Newhall. Cottrell was caught at slip. Rotherham and Welman scored freely, both men being missed in the long-field. At 235Welman was run out. Philadelphia having a deficit of 107, started with the same pair as before. Twenty runs were totalled before lunch. Afterwards runs came rapidly and many changes of bowling took place. At 50 Scott was clean bowled by Buckland. He had made 25 by sterling cricket. Thayer came in to help Patterson, who was looking very formidable. Rotherham here took the ball. Patterson for a timo scored off him freely, but he soon had his revenge as he bowled both batsmen. Patterson had played very well for his 40, though he is apparently rather weak on his leg stump. Morgan, who played so well in the first innings, was caught off his hand at slip—4 for 88. Ralston joined New­ hall. Tho formerhit hard, but Newhall pursued his usual tactics of wasting time, and only suc­ ceeded in making 3 when he was easily caught at mid-off. R. S. Newhall came in, and the 100 went up; a moment later the single innings defeat was averted amid considerable applause. Ralston at 100 was bowled by Buckland. Clark gave R. New'hall material assistance, but on Roller going on the Phila­ delphia captain was caught at coverpoint. Brown was easily caught at mid-on, and in the last over Clark was out to a catch at cover from a very rash stroke. Stumps were then drawn for the day, Philadelphia being 37 on with one wicket to fall. Monday, October 4.—Two more runs were added before Lowry was caught by Turner oil' Buckland, who had taken 7 wickets. We wanted but 40 to win. The bowling was entrusted to Brown and Clark, Turner and B iinbridge being the first pair. Sixteen runs soon came, when Morgan by a fine catch got rid of Bainbridge. Key came in, but was clean bowled first ball by a good one of Clark’s, a source of great congratulation to our oppo­ nents, whoso elation knew no bounds when Turner had to retire to an extremely doubtful catch by the bowler. Buckland aud Roller carried the score to 32, when Roller pulled a ball into his wicket. The greatest excitement now prevailed, but Buckland and Haycock soon soored us avictory by six wickets. Buck- laud was undoubtedly tlie hero of the match, He scored 97 runs and was ouly disposed of once, while he took nine wickets for 108 runs —a performance of which he may well be proud.
