Cricket 1888

JU N E 28, 1889, CRICKET 2 A WEEKLY EECORD OP THE GAME, 227 GENTLEMEN OF SURREY v. PARSEES': The Parsee Cricketers, after making a good fight up to a certain point in this match, begun at the Oval on Friday, failed to maintain their position, and were beaten on Saturday after­ noon by 300 runs. Surrey [were only 13 runs ahead on the first innings, and they made, too, such a bad start in the second that it looked as if the Parsees would have a good chance of a victory. The fifth wicket fell at 97, but Messrs. W . W . Read and Morgan mastered the bowling thoroughly, and their partnership, which produced 158runs, changed the whole aspect of the game. Mr. Read’s 132 included three hits out of the ground, and Mr. Morgan’s 116, one. G e n t l e m e n o p First Innings. S. Colman, c Bapasola, b Pundole ..................... 2( T. P.

Continuous rainprevented a commencement of this match at Halifax on Friday, and the game, limited in consequence to one day, was robbed of most of its interest. The ground, too, as it dried under the influence of a bright sun, was all against the batsmen, and on Saturday twenty-eight wickets fell for an aggregate of 247, or an average of under nine runs. The Warwickshire eleven, who were without Messrs. L. C. Docker, H. Rotherham and H. C. Maul, made a very creditable show against their powerful antagonists, and when play ceased Yorkshire were 61 on, with only two wickets to fall. Lee contributed 32 in Yorkshire’s second innings, and his score was the highest of the match. The bowling honours were shared by Peel for Yorkshire and Bird and Pallett for Warwickshire. Peel bowled 36 overs for 46 runs and seven wickets. The best performance of all, though,“with the ball was that of Pallett. In the two innings of Yorkshire he delivered 57 overs and three balls for 51 runs and eleven wickets, so that his wickets were got at an average cost of under five runs. Y o r k s h ir e .

OXFORD UNIVERSITY, The Oxford eleven, after gaining a very material advantage in the earlier part of the game in this matoh, begun at Manchester on Thursday, broke down altogether at the finish, and allowed Lancashire to gain an, until to the last, quite unexpected victory by 20 runs. The University, who were in their full strength, winning the toss were in all the first day, scoring 315 in five hours and twenty minutes of actual play—an average of just under sixty runs an hour. The honours of this very creditable performance rested entirely on the earlier batsmen, Mr. Gresson, Lord George Scott and the Captain, Mr. Rashleigh, being answerable for as many as 252 out of 301 made from the bat. The two first-named batsmen, Lord George Scott in particular, had not been at all lucky in the earlier matches of this summer, and their success was, therefore, the more gratifying. While they were together they added 128 runs for the fourth wicket, and though Mr. Gresson’s was perhaps the better performance, both innings were worthy of the highest praise. Lord George Scott was in three hours and a half for his 97, which in­ cluded nine 4,s. Mr. Gresson, who had to retire owing to a blow when he had made nine, came in again when Mr. Rashleigh, who took his place and played good oricket for his 41, was out the third wicket at 110. Mr, Gresson was in three hours and a quarter for his 114, his first score of a hundred in an important match. Among his figures were fourteen 4’s, and he gave, as far as we could see, no ohance. Lancashire going in on Tuesday against a long score of 315 had all the worst of the luck, having to bat on a wicket affected by the heavy rain of the morning, and, in addition, in a bad light. The hitting of Sugg, Briggs and Robinson, how­ ever, stood them in good stead, and the result was, under the circumstances, a very credit­ able total of 205. Following on in a minority of 110, the Lancashire batsmen found the wicket very diffioult, and in spite of the steady batting of Mr. Lancashire, eight wickets were down for 93. W ith 17 still wanted to save the innings, Messrs. |Barchard and Kentfield became partners, and the former hit so freely that, in the thirty-five minutes that i emained of the second day, 45 runs were add( d. Lan­ cashire had an apparently hopeless 1ask when they began on Saturday morning, having one wicket to fall and being only 28 runs on. A bad piece of fielding of the Oxford captain at mid-off in giving Watson a life,however,proved of serious effect for his side, and with the help of this mistake 84 were added before Mr. Kentfield was caught. W ith only 63 to win, the game seemed a certainty for Oxford, but Briggs and Watson bowled so well, and, sup­ ported by fielding, were so successful, that five wickets were down for only 19 runs. Mr. Rashleigh tried hard to save the game, but he was caught at the wicket after making 16, and, as the last wicket fell at 42, the county gained a remarkably creditable—because unexpected —victory by 2.0 runs. To Briggs and Watson was due the entire praise of this performance. The latter had the better figures, and, in the match altogether, he took ten wickets for 104 runs. W ith Messrs. A. G. Steel, Hornby, Eccles, and Jowett away, the county was only poorly represented, places being found for the first time for two Manchester amateurs, Messrs. Barehard and Kentfield. The finish was curiously like that of the same match at Liverpool last year, when the Oxonians, with 176 to win, were dismissed for 58, with—as last week—only two double figures, and by the same bowlers.
