Cricket 1888

148 S f s b ' U . . M CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAT 24, 1888. M .C.C. AND G. v. D E R B Y S H IR E . The Derbyshire Eleven opened the season auspioio isly at Lord’s at the end of last week, gaining a victory over a moderate team re­ presenting M.C.C. and Ground by 45 runs. Heavy rain prevented a commencement on Thursday, and, as a consequence, the bowlers had so mach the best of the wicket on the following day that the game only just lasted into the third morning. Thirty-four wickets, indeed, fell on Friday, giving an average of just over nine runs. Mr. L. G. W right, of Derbyshire, proved to be the chief run-getter of the day, with scores of 12 and 23. When play began on Saturday morning M.C.C. still wanted 73 runs to win, with six wickets to fall. Hulme and Porter, though, bowled with such great effect that no one offered any serious re­ sistance, and Che innings closed for an addition of only 27 runs. Hulme, who was not tried in the first innings of M.C.C., was remarkably successful in the second. He took five wickets, all of them clean bowled, at a cost of only eleven runs, and, in fact, his bowling at the finish had much to do with the County’s success. Porter, a fast round-arm bowler, engaged with the Longsight Club, who plays for Derbyshire by birth, also had a good analysis. He delivered eight overs for one run and two wickets. Everyone will con­ gratulate the Derbyshire players on a well- earned victory. It is to be hoped that this is the forerunner of better luck for the County, and a corresponding era of prosperity in com­ pensation for the ill-fortune which has attended it for the last two or three years.

GENT LE­ MEN OF ENGLAND. The Cambridge eleven succeeded in de­ feating a moderate eleven representing the Gentlemen of England at Cambridge at the end of last week. Rain prevented a com­ mencement on Thursday until almost four o’clock, and when play did begin the batsmen were seen to such disadvantage that twelve wickets were dismissed for 100 runs. The bowling of Mr. Woods, the old Brightonian, proved too much for most of the Gentlemen, and Mr. Thornton, who contributed 41 of 69 from the bat, was alone able to get double figures. Mr. Woods took seven wickets for 48 runs, and three of them, those of Messrs. Paravicini, Thornton and Henery, were got with three successive balls. The run-getting on the second day did not show any great im ­ provement, and twenty-one batsmen were dismissed for an aggregate of 195 runs. It looked, too, as if the University, though they wanted only 109 to win, would have their work cut out to secure the victory. Four wickets were down for 18 runs, but Messrs. Buxton and Ford effectually put the issue beyond doubt by some free cricket, and Cam­ bridge, when the game ended on Friday night, had won after alJ with plenty to spare, having six wickets in hand, Mr. Thornton, un­ fortunately for the Gentlemen, injured his hand so severely on the first day that he was unable to bat or, indeed, to take any further f art in the game. Messrs. Robertson and ledley, of the Royal Engineers, were, as will be seen, the most successful bowlers for the Gentlemen. Each took seven wickets, though the former’s average was much the better.
