Cricket 1886

82 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. APRIL 29,1886. second innings, for his score of twenty-eight. Against the Australians, too, he was more fortunate as a batsman, and again his batting was of the most value, his second score of twenty being, with the exception of Mr. L. C. Docker’s 34 not out, the best on the side. For several matches after this he did little with either bat or ball, and his one performance at all noteworthy was in the second innings of Kjentj at Derby, when he was credited with four ^wickets at an expense of twenty-seven runs. The return with the same county at Gravesend, too, found him fairly successful With the ball, though in another, respect it was unfortunate for him. An accident delayed his arrival on the ground on the second morning of the match to continue his inn­ ings,- and the resumption of the game had to be deferred for a short time in consequence. The Derbyshire authorities resenting this, Shacklock did not figure in the next match against Surrey at Kennington Oval,, nor in that whioh followed against Sussex a£Brighton. His last appearance of the year, though, like his first was a highly satisfactory one for the County-.- His'ail-round cricket in the closing fixture of 1884, at Bradford, was indeed of a distinctly high class. Yorkshire had Peate, Bates, Ulyett, Emmett, and Peel to trundle*, but Shaoklock played the quintette with great confidence, and but for his excellent score s of fifty (out of a hundred and seven from the bat) and twenty-five, Derbyshire would have made a poor show with the bat. Shacklock was indeed the hero of the match, for in addition he was credited with five of the ten Yorkshire wickets that fell, delivering twenty-six overs for forty-seven runs. His D owling had been up.to this time altogether of great service, and the end of his first season, though his figures were o n ly moderate, saw him at the head of the Derbyshire bowling averages. Last year Shacklock’s bowling was of material value to the Derbyshire Club. His summary for the season was not a particularly good one, but it was the best of the many bowlers tried by the, County in 1885. . He began the Season well in the opening match against Surrey at Derby, but his chief success was as a batsman, being Second scorer in the first innings with thirty. A strain, prevented his participation in the two last fixtures of the year, and his absence in both matched against such a power­ ful team as that of ’Notts was a severe loss to the County. Throughout the summer he was rarely unsuccessful, though by far his best performance was in the return with Yorkshire, at Derby, on the occasion of Platts’ benefit. The Derbyshire eleven were seen to better advantage in that match than at any period of the season, and in all probability the extension of the game for another half-hour would have left them in possession of a well-deserved vrotoiy. Much of the credit of an excellent performance, too, was due to Shacklock’s personal efforts. His bowling, particularly against such a strong, batting side as that of Yorkshire, was of a distinctly high class. In tie first innings eight of the ten wickets fell to him at a cost of forty-five runs, and of the eight batsmen six were clean bowled. In fact, it was in every way Shacklock’s match. Alto­ gether he was credited with thirteen of the twenty Yorkshire wickets, and in addition scored twenty-seven runs, one of the best per­ formances .of the kind recorded during the summer. - Shacklock is a very fast right-hand round-arm bowler. He is as a rule particu­ larly straight, andvbreaking back as he does frequently a good deal from the off, requires careful watching. He is, of course, more deadly, on a fast wicket, and when the ground helps him is often very dangerous. >As a batsman, he shows no ’ small promise, and with care ought to improve materially, playing with a straight bat and hitting well on the off side especially. He is a fair field. C ricket of next Thursday will contain a Portrait and Biography of 'u-.i W .jW cB , Of the Fifth Australian Team. The Portrait of the following week will be that of J.
