Cricket 1887

822 CBICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. AUG. 11, 1887, against the Birmingham Association in June, 1885, at Smethwick, he got seven wickets for 14 runs, and his first inter-county engagement in the same month at Birminghamwas equally fortunate, as he took eleven wickets for 70, and was in an hour for 22 runs. His average for Warwickshire in 1885 was eight runs for the 48 wickets he took, and last season his eighty-two wickets only cost nine runs a-piece. This summer Shilton has not been seen at his best, owing, in a great measure, to a severe cold caught early in the season in the first match with Surrey. Still on important occasions he has proved his capacity as a bowler, and at Birmingham, against Surrey, he was singu­ larly successful, taking eight of theten wickets, in Surrey’s one innings at a cost of only 64runs. His best performance though, perhaps, was against the Australian team last summer at Birmingham, and on that occasion his eight wickets only cost 55 runs. Shilton bowls slow round-arm left, and though rarely un­ successful, on his day particularly, is very diffi­ cult. He uses his head well, and as in addition he puts plenty of life into his bowling, he always requires careful watching. He is a steady bat, right-handed, too, and a hard- workingifield.

After a singularly even game throughout the Surrey eleveu succeeded yesterday in winning their first match of the season against Sussex, begun at Brighton on Thursday, with only one wicket to spare. Mr. F. M. Lucas was absent from the Sussex team, but Surrey were still more unfortunate, losing the services of Mr. Roller, Jones, and Wood, the last of whom was replaced by a wicket-keeper hither­ to untried in county cricket—Adams, of Mr. J. W. Hobbs’ Club. The chief feature of the first hands was the success of the two young professionals, Lohmann and Quaife, who each got over a hundred for their respective sides. The latter gave a chance at the wicket when he had made 46, but otherwise his innings, one of three hours’ duration, was without a fault. Lolimann’s score of 115was invaluable to his side. He made 115out of 163while he was at the wickets in two hours and forty minutes without a mistake of any kind. Going in yesterday forthe fourth innings Surrey wantbd 149 to win. and at luncheon had made the odd 49 with only Mr. Shuter out. Mr. Key played fine cricket, but Mr. Read and Abel alone of the rest made any stay, and the two last bats­ men of -Surrey, Henderson and Adams, were in when the winning hit was made. S u s se x .

The Gloucestershire eleven suffered their seventh defeat of this season yesterday at Clifton, Notts gaining an easy victory by an innings and 65 runs. Shrewsbury’s late arrival caused the Notts captain, who had won the toss, to alter the usual order, and Scotton and Gunn commenced the batting. Three batsmen had been dismissed for 135 when he came in, Gunn and Flowers having added 87 for the third v icket. Though he made two mistakes, Shrewsbury was in his best form, and was not out at the finish, having been batting four hours and a-half. Towards the close of the innings Shacklock hit with great freedom. He made 71 out of 146 runs added during his stay, and among his hits were three to square leg for six off Mr. W. G. Grace, one clean out of the ground. When Gloucestershire went in, the brothers Grace knocked up fifty runs in forty minutes, but after their depar­ ture 110 one but Mr. Griffiths gave serious trouble, and the innings fell short of that of Notts by 251 runs. Mr. Griffiths’ 21 was a highly creditable display of batting. At the close of play on Tuesday, Gloucestershire had lost two wickets in their second innings for 43, and their only chance yesterday was a drawn game. Messrs.W. G. Grace and Pullen, the not-outs, added 47 before the latter was bowled, but Mr. Grace could find no one else to stay with him, and he was not out when the tenth wicket fell. He had contributed 113 of 181 from the bat, and his play from first to last was in every wayworthy of his reputation. Richardson confirmed the reputation he had gained by his performances against Kent and Surrey,by his effective bowling. In Gloucester­ shire’s first innings, he got half the wickets at a cost of only 43 runs. N o t ts . Gunn, c Woof, b W.
