Cricket 1888

140 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF TfiE GAME. MAT 17, 1888. NOTTS v. SUSSEX. The Nottinghamshire eleven opened their season auspiciously at the commencement of this week, winning their first match, played on the Trent Bridge Ground at Nottingham, on Monday and Tuesday last, by an innings and 74 runs. Shrewsbury’s siay in Australia has, for the present, deprived Notts of its great mainstay with the bat, but Sussex was also not in full strength, Messrs. Smith, Newham and Brann, who had just arrived from the Colonies, being absent. Sussex went in first, but with the exception of Bean, who followed up an excellent performance at Lord’s by another capital score of 39, no one exceeded 20 runs, and the innings was over by 3.25, falling short of the hundred by 3 runs. Ba^nts’ bowling proved remarkably effective as will be seen. T. J. Buckland, a fast round bowler, tried for the first time, also did well, taking two good wickets for 13 runs. When Notts went in, Mr. J. A. Dixon, Gunn, and Mr. Daft were all seen to advantage, and when play ceased for the first day, the home team were already 57 runs ahead, with only four wickets down, Gunn not out 51, Mr. Daft not out 30. Sussex were singularly unfortunate in losing the valuable services of Bean on the second day owing to illness, and the loss of his all-round cricket was severely felt. The wicket, too, helped the bowlers towards the finish, and, following on as they did in a minority of 143, the chances of the Southerners were never at any time very hopeful. Mr. Daft added 10 before he was bowled, and Gunn increased his score to 70 before he returned one to Jesse Hide. Though not altogether without a mistake, his batting was up to his best standard, and was quite the feature of the innings. Going in a second time on Tuesday morning Sussex fared very badly, and at luncheon time five of the best wickets were down for 33 runs. Tester, who had gone in first, however, received useful assistance from Tebay, and the pair showed the only good cricket of the innings, which closed for the small total of 69. During the afternoon Attewell hurt his finger so badly that he had to leave the field, though, as it happened, his bowling was. not required. S u s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings.

Thornton’s Eleven at Norbury, in the opening match of their tour, the Australian team claimed their second victory of the week on Saturday last at Birmingham, defeating Warwickshire by an innings and 150 runs. Messrs. H. Rotherham, H. O. Whitby and L. C. Docker were none of them able to repre­ sent the county, so that on paper the chances of the Englishmen were not very bright. The Australian captain, too, was fortunate enough to win the toss, and the whole of the first day (Friday) the Warwickshire Eleven were in the field. McDonnell and Bannerman as usual commenced the batting, and the latter had made seven out of thirty runs when he had to leave l b w . Trott joined McDonnell, and the latter, with the help of some loose fielding, continued to score freely until the total was 69, when he was well caught at slip for a freely got 46. After quickly knocking up twenty Bonnor was stumped, and the third wicket fell for 96, an addition of twenty-seven runs. Blackham and Trott were now partners, and the best cricket of the day was shown. At luncheon, time the total was 153, and on the resumption runs came very fast, Blackham scoring freely all round. The wicket-keeper, though his innings was not without a mistake, played in his characteristic style. While he was at the wickets 150 runs were added, and his ninety-six was a most valuable score. Trott saw Turner and Jarvis retire before his turn came. He was nearly three hours and a half at the wickets, and as far as we could see there was not a flaw in his batting. Lyons did not stay long, but Worrall, who hit with great freedom, and the left-hander Ferris both lent useful assistance, and the play closed with the conclusion of the innings for 346. When the Australians took the field on Saturday, the bowling of Turner and Ferris, it was soon seen, would allow the county small chance of averting a defeat. The two were unchanged throughout the first innings, and, in an hour and twenty-five minutes the side were out, Shilton and Richards contributing 38 of 59 got from the bat. Following on in a heavy minority of 279 runs, Messrs. Maul and Bainbridge made a better start, and 59 were up before the former was caught for an excellent 40. Excepting Law and Lilley, though, none of the other batsmen offered any serious resistance, and the nine remaining wickets only added 70, leaving the Australians the winners by an innings and 150 runs. Ferris, it will be seen, was the most successful bowler for the Australians. He took in all ten wickets for .an average of under 9 runs. A u s t r a l ia n s . Mr. P. S.
