Cricket 1887

JUNE 16, 1887. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 195 LANCASHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. The Derbyshire eleven failed to maintain the very creditable form shown up to the end of the second day in this match, begun at Manchester on Monday, and were ultimately beaten with six wickets to spare. Though they made a very moderate start when they went in, thanks to the good play of W. Sugg and Davidson, and the free hitting of Hulmp, the Derbyshire men were able to claim a lead of twenty-seven runs on the first hands, Cropper’s bowling being mainly instrumental in the dismissal of the Lancashire team for 131. As in the first innings, when Derbyshire went in again the tail did good service, and Davidson proved to be highest scorer on the side with a well-hit and highly creditable score of 56. When play began on Saturday Lancashire still wanted 89 runs to win with only six wiokets to fall, and there seemed every chance of a good finish. The Derby­ shire fielding, though, at the finish was much below the mark, and Mr. Eccles hitting all round in brilliant fashion, 92 runs were got in fifty-five minutes without the loss of another batsman.

Though Middlesex jwas able to put a strong eleven, including Mr. A. P. Lucas, who has been an absentee from first-class cricket for the last two years, into the field at Lord’s, on Thursday, its representatives were not seen to advantage in any way, and Notts had an easy win by an innings and six runs. Thouch the wicket was in good condition for batting, the Nottinghamshire eleven, with the excep­ tion of Shrewsbury and Gunn, only showed moderate form. These two batsmen were credited with 169 of 252 from the bat, the former alone contributing nearly one half of the aggregate. Shrewsbury never played in better form, and in his long innings, lasting four hours and a quarter, there was no mis­ take. Gunn helped Shrewsbury to add 107 for the third wicket, and his 50, made in an hour and three-quarters, were the'outcome of good and stylish cricket. In the second innings of Middlesex, Messrs. Lucas and Scott made a useful stand, and Mr. O’Brien hit freely. Mr. Lucas, in particular, batted with all his own care and judgment, and the spectators were highly pleased to see so accomplished a batsman reappear with such marked success. Attewell’s bowling for Notts was the best of the matoh. He took eight Middlesex wickets at a cost of only 42 runs. N o tts . A. Shrewsbury, run out ...........................119 W .

OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. SURREY. The Oxford eleven brought their home fix­ tures to a termination on Saturday with a decisive defeat at tke hands of the strength of Surrey. The wicket was in fine condition for run-getting throughout, and the Surrey men made full use of their opportunity iu going in first. Messrs. Shuter and Head both scored fast, the former being at the wickets an hour and fifty-five minutes for his 111, Mr. Read an hour and three-quarters for his 118. Neither batsman gave an actual chance. In Mr. Sliuter’s figures were twenty-one fours, in Mr. Read’s one six and nineteen fours. Mr. Rashleigh made 105 of Oxford’s first total of 190 by cricket of the best kind. Going in with one wicket down at 3, he was seventh out at 160, having been two hours and fifty- five minutes at the wickets. He might have been caught at the wicket when he had made 83, but this was the only flaw in a fine innings. His play on the leg side was particularly good. Mr. Brain, the Oxford Captain, batted in quite his best form when the University followed on, but they were unable to put Surrey in again, and were beaten by an innings and three runs. Mr. Cochrane un­ fortunately sprained one of the leaders of his leg after delivering thirty-one overs, and had to retire, so that in addition to the loss of his bowling Oxford had only ten men to bat. Beaumont’s bowling was one of the very best features of the match. In all he took ten Oxford wickets for 98runs, a fine performance on a run-getting pitch. S u r r e y . Mr. M. P.
