Cricket 1888

JULY 6, 1888. CRICKET 2 A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 301 LANCASHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. The Derbyshire eleven made a poor show in the first of their two engagements with Lan­ cashire for this season, decided at Manchester on Monday and Tuesday. At the outset the ground was slow from the heavy rains of late, and Derbyshire, who won the toss, could do little against the bowling of Briggs, Watson, and Barlow. Two new amateurs, Messrs. Pedley, who played for Sussex occasionally some years ago, and Straw were included in the eleven, and the former proved to be the highest scorer on the side. There were four double figures, but though the innings lasted two hours and a half the total only reached 87, Briggs taking seven wickets for 35 runs. Rain caused four short intervals when Lan­ cashire went in to bat, and finally stopped play with the score at 87. Sugg, who hit in briiliant style, was not out with Barlow, having added 57 of the last 72. Another heavy rainfall in the morning prevented a resump­ tion until after two o’clock on Tuesday after­ noon, and though the ground favoured the bowlers considerably, 95 runs had been added when the innings closed at half-past four. Derbyshire’s chances of avoiding an innings’ defeat when they went in a second time, 95 runs to the bad, were of the smallest as the wicket was. Briggs and Watson, with the ground favouring them altogether, bowled with extraordinary success, and in an hour and a quarter the innings was over. Mr. Pedley was again the chief contributor, this time with four, and only fourteen runs were got from the bat, the smallest total recorded in an inter-county match for years. Briggs’s figures were remarkable. He was not changed during the match, and his 60 overs and three balls were delivered for 39 runs and thirteen wickets. Lancashire won by an innings and 78 runs.

Some remarkably low scoring was the out­ come of the return match between these counties, played at Sheffield, on Monday and Tuesday last. The fixture always produces a large attendance at Bramall Lane, and those who witnessed the play on Monday were rewarded by seeing some—what is called— sensational cricket. Owing to rain, the game did not commence until 12 . 20 , and, though another interval of ten minutes was required later on from wet, by 6.20 three innings had been completed for an aggregate of 128 runs, an average of under 4.Vruns to each batsman. Sherwin, winning the toss, decided t o send Yorkshire into the field, thinking to get the best of the wet wicket. Peel, however, found the ground, which dried quickly, exactly to his taste, and in seventy minutes Notts had been dismissed for 24—nineteen from the bat. Nor did the home team fare much better, as Richardson’s bowling proved as deadly, and the Yorkshire innings only lasted ten minutes longer than that of Notts, though it amounted to 22 runs more. When they went in again, Notts made a better start, and the score was 50 for the loss of only three wickets. Peel and Wade, though, played sad havoc with the remaining batsmen, and the innings closed for an addition of only 8 runs. This was the end of the day’s play, an extraordinary day’s cricket, especially for Peel, who had taken fourteen Notts wickets for 33, an average of under 2£ runs. Yorkshire had 37 to win on Tuesday, and the heavy rain of the morning was all in their favour, making the wicket easy for batsmen and difficult for bowlers. A start could not bo made until 3.10, but in forty minutes Ulyett and Hall had knocked off the number required, giving Yorkshire the victory by ten wickets. N otts . First Innings. Second Innings.

Heavy scoring after the heavy rains of last week was hardly expected by those engaged in this return match, begun at Beckenham on Monday. The bowlers were, indeed, greatly in evidence, and the game was completed, an hour before the time fixed for drawing on the second day. Mr. Shuter, who won the toss for Surrey, made a good start with Abel, and 47 was the score when he was out. Afterwards Lohmann and Read hit well, but no great stand was made, and the innings, which lasted until 4 20, closed for 142. Kent did not fare so well when their turn came to bat, and at the end of the day the total was 76 for seven wickets. Mr. Fox played well for his 27, though he ought to have been caught when he had got 4. The innings of Kent came to a speedy close on Tuesday morning, the last three wickets only increasing the score by nine runs. Surrey, who had a very useful lead of 50 runs on the first hands, could do little in their second innings with the bowling of Alec Hearne andWright, and when the interval arrived for luncheon sevenwickets were down for 52. Some good cricket by Hen­ derson, who carried out his bat for 18, helped his side, though, greatly at the close, and 30 runs were put on before the tenth wicket fell. Kent had a very difficult task when they went in on Tuesday afternoon, wanting 143 to win. Lohmann’s bowling, too, proved alto­ gether too much for them, and except Mr. Fox, who was again chief scorer with a very well played 20, and Alec Hearne, no one got double figures. The total, indeed, only reached 53, so that Surrey were left with an easy win by 89 runs. Lohmann’s bowling presented remarkable figures. He took thirteen Kent wickets for 61 runs. On the other side, Alec Hearne was almost as successful. He delivered 88 overs and 3 balls for 71 runs and eleven wickets. S u r r e y . First Innings. Abel.c F , b A. Hearne ... 31 Mr. J.
