Cricket 1887

AUG. 18, 1887. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 889 THE CHELTENHAM WEEK. GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. The Lancashire eleven followed up their victory over Surrey at the Oval last week with another success, beating Gloucestershire in the first match of the Cheltenham week yesterday with six wickets to spare. Lanca­ shire, who went in first, were able to claim a lead of 120 runs at the end of an innings, result d ie chiefly to a fine innings of 113 by Mr. Eccles — nearly one-half of the aggregate from the bat—and subsequently to the effective bowling ofBriggs andBarlow. Mr.Eccles,whose batting has been consistently good this year, played admirable cricket. He only gave one chance, when he had got 101, and as this is his first hundred for the County his success was the more popular. In the follow-on the Glou­ cestershire eleven showed to better advantage, and seven batsmen got double figures, the most successful of them Mr. Page, who hit well for his 53. Heavy rain delayed play till after luncheon yesterday, and as the last two Gloucestershire wickets only added six, Lan­ cashire were left with exactly a hundred to win. Mr. Hornby was caught before a run was got, but Barlow and Sugg scored freely, and in the end Lancashire won with plenty in hand. G lo u c e ste r sh ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. E. M.

Som« remarkable scoring by the Notts eleven marked the return match between these Counties, begun on the Trent Bridge Ground, at Nottingham, on Monday and con­ cluded yesterday. The home team were in the whole of the first two days, completing their innings for 596, the largest total made in an important match this year. Scotton and Shrewsbury made 167, but this stand was ,overshadowed by that of the latter and Barnes, who added 214 runs for the third wicket. Barnes, in making his 115, was seen to the very best advantage. He played with great confidence and judgment, and his 115, in which were fifteen fours, was an admirable exhibition of batting in every way, fully worthy of his high reputation. Mr. Daft and Shrewsbury batted with great care, and while they were partners, as they were for two hours and twenty minutes, the rate of scoring was only forty runs an hour. Shrewsbury was eighth batsman out, having scored 267 of 536 —or just one half—made duringhis stay. He was.battingaltogetherten hours and a-quarter, and when it is added that he never gave a chance during all this time the high character of a truly remarkable display of batting can be properly estimated. He was at the wickets nearly two whole days, and whilehe scored 171 on the first day on the second he only added 96. His score of 267 was madeup of twenty-six 4’s, twenty-two 3’s, sixteen 2’s, and sixty-five singles. Mildlesex had to bat yesterday after heavy rain overnight, and thanks to the free hitting of Messrs. 0 ‘Brien and Vernon were able to keep Notts in the field till a-quarter to five o’clock. In the follow-on they had lost two batsmen for 41, so that when play ceased they were still 376 runs behind with eight wickets to fall. N o tts . W. Scotton, c West,b Robertson ... ... 51 A.

The Sussex eleven played up well in their return match with Yorkshire, begun at Brighton on Monday, and had certainly the best of the draw when stumps were drawn yesterday evening, Yorkshire wanting 125 to win with only three wickets to fall. The chief feature of the first hands was the defensive cricket of Hall for Yorkshire. He carried his bat through the innings, and was batting in all four hours for his score of 82 not out. This, we may add, is the fifth time he has gone in first and been not out at the finish against Sussex bowling. Though in a minority of 46 runs when theywent in a second time the Sussex eleven batted well, and there were eight double figures in their aggregate of 252, of which 104 were. contributed, by Mr. Newham and Quaife. A thunder-storm on Tuesday night interfered with the ground materially yesterday, and in all 193 runs were scored for fifteen wickets. Yorkshire wanting 207 to win went in yesterday with two hours and three-quarters left for play, and in this time lost seven batsmen for 81, so that they had, as already stated, all the worst of the drawn game.
