Cricket 1887

JULY 7,1887. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 SURREY v. MIDDLESEX. Surrey’s victorious career in inter-county matches was checked at the Oval on Saturday last, when Middlesex gained a very creditable victory by nine wickets. Middlesex placed the eleven it has been playing recently in the field, but Surrey suffered considerably from the absence of Jones, who had strained him­ self in the Oxford match earlier in the week— a decided loss, as he had been bowling very well this summer. The out-cricket of the Surrey eleven, who lost the toss, was by no means up to their standard of this year, and Middlesex took full advantage of their short­ comings. Mr. Stoddart played in very fine style, but it was not one of his very best innings, and he was let off at the wicket before he had scored. Mr. Scott was also missed at long-on when he had got four by Maurice Read, though that usually safe out­ field finally disposed of himwith a remarkable running catch. The batting of the Surrey team, too, was by no means up to the mark, though the wicket at times helped the bowlers. Henderson played careful and good cricket each time, but with two exceptions none of the usual scorers did much, and by far the best cricket on the side was shown by Mr. Shuter in the second innings. He played most pluckily to save his side, and his hitting whenever he had a chance was very judicious. He did not make a mistake until he had got 82, and his brilliant display gave the greatest satisfaction to the supporters of Surrey cricket. Bowley hit well at the close of the innings, scoring 33 of 42 made for the last wicket. Middlesex had 78 to get to win, and though Mr. Lucas was soon got rid of Messrs. Webbe and Scott by good cricket knocked off the remaining runs without a mistake. M id d l e s e x . First Innings. Burton, not out Mr. A. E. Stoddart, c Bowley.bBeaumont 85 Mr. A. J. Webbe, c W. W.

Grace was only able to put a moderate eleven into the field to repre­ sent Gloucestershire in this match at Gloucester on Thursday, thanks main y to two remarkably fine displays of batting by himself, and the effective bowling of his brother, the home team had the best of three full days’ cricket. In all 1,007 runs were scored for thirty wickets, and of the 658 made from the bat by Gloucestershire, 275 were contributed by Mr. W. G. Grace for only once out. Following as it did his brilliant perform­ ance at Lord’s, v. Cambridge University, this must be accounted an extraordinary achieve­ ment, and the great cricketer’s grand displays of last week will afford hearty gratifica­ tion to cricketers all over the world. Gloucestershire, who won the toss, were not out till the second morning, Messrs. Troup, a school boy who bids fair to develop into a fine bat, Radcliffe, Hale, Boughton, and Cole all lending Mr. W. G. Grace valuable assist­ ance. Ulyett and Hall opened Yorkshire’s innings in brilliant fashion, the score showing 173, of which Ulyett, whose only chance was in the long field when he had got 63, had con­ tributed 104 by the best cricket. Subse­ quently Bates scored with great freedom, making 84 of 107 during the hour and a half he was in, inclusive of one hit out of the ground for six and thirteen fours. The later batsmen, though, could do little with Mr. E. M. Grace’s lobs, and as will be seen the “ Doctor ” took seven wickets for 120 runs, a performance on which he deserves to be congratulated. Though they were 69 runs ahead on the first hands, Gloucestershire did not fare well when they went in again, and eight wickets were down for 146. Mr. W. G. Grace, who had gone in first wicket down, however, found a very useful ally in Mr. Newnham, and the Yorkshire bowlers had a bad time of it while they were together. Mr. Newnham hit vigorously, and 143 runs had been added in an hour and fifty minutes when he was caught at the wicket. Mr.W. G. Grace was not out when the innings closed, having made 183 out of 334 while in. He was batting just under five hours, and in his innings—the highest he has made this summer—there was no actual chance. The performance of the Gloucestershire eleven was in every way a creditable one. Yorkshire would have had, could the game have been continued, to go in with 408 to get to win. Hunter kept wicket in his best form for York­ shire. In Gloucestershire’s second innings he caught six batsmen, and in the first three, so that he had a hand in the dismissal of nine of the twenty wickets. G lo u c e ste r sh ir e . First Innings.
