Cricket 1888

MAT 31, 1888 . CBICEET: A WEEKLY BECOED OF THE GAME. 165 DERBYSH IRE v. SURREY. The Derbyshire eleven, who commenced the season well against M.C.C. & G. at Lord’s, had the worst of their first match against Surrey, begun at Derby on Thursday last. The pitch has been re-laid during the winter, and the long succession of dry weather has, no doubt, been greatly against those who have charge of its preparation. Whatever the reason, the wicket for this match was a bad one, and the bowlers at times got up dan­ gerously high, so much so as to spoil the enjoyment of the game. Derbyshire winning the toss went in first, but the highest score on the side was eighteen, and the innings only reached 115. Charlesworth, a colt, who made his first appearance for Derbyshire, showed good steady cricket, and his form was of dis­ tinct promise. Fortunately for Surrey, Mr. W . W. Read was in his best form, and his batting was one of the very best features of the matsh. Going in second wicket down at twenty, he was last out, and as will be seen he scored 86 out of 147 while he was in. He played all the bowlers with equal confidence, and his innings in the condition of the wicket was of a very high order of merit. When they went in on Friday morning, Derbyshire wanted 52 runs to save an innings defeat. Beaumont and Bowley, however, kept such an excellent length that Storer’s thirteen was the only double figure, and after an hour-and- a-quarter’s play Surrey had won by an innings and six runs. Bowley took nine Derbyshire wickets for 59 runs, and Beaumont five in the second innings for fourteen. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. Cropper, lbw, b Bowley . Ratcliffe, b Beaumont .

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Though they had on paper by no means the best of the first day’s play, the Gloucestershire eleven showed to advantage in the later stages of this game, begun on Thursday on the Rectory Field at Blackheath, and were able to claim on Saturday a well earned victory by 75 runs. The ground, which does not seem to have been improved by some of the arrange­ ments for the accommodation of football spectators, did not play particularly well, and the scoring in consequence was generally hardly up to the average. The chief features of the opening day were the fine batting of Mr. W. G. Grace and the effective bowling of Walter Wright. Mr. Grace, who is in wonder­ ful form this year, made 64 out of 114 while he was in, and without a mistake. Walter Wright bowled with remarkable success, as will be seen. He delivered 43 overs for 59 runs, and took seven of the ten wickets. Kent, who were only 43 runs behind their opponents at the end of the first day, did not fare well against the bowling of Messrs. W. G. Grace and Radcliffe on the second morning, and the last seven wickets only added 44, giving them an advantage of only one run on the first hands. When Gloucestershire went in a second time, Messrs. E. M. and W . G. Grace scored fast, and *77 wrere got before a wicket fell. Mr. E. M.’s 56 was the best dis­ play of batting he has given, so far, this year, and the brothers also received useful assist­ ance from Mr. Troup and Painter. Kent went in late on Friday afternoon with 232 runs to win, and in the forty minutes left for play lost three of their best batsmen for thirty-seven. Mr. Marchant’s hitting was the principal feature of Saturday’s cricket. He made as many as 84 out of 107 runs while he was in, and had he only been fairly supported the game might have produced an interesting finish. He hit all-round with the greatest resolution, and his score was, as will be seen, the highest on either side. In his 84 were eleven fours. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . First Innings.
