Cricket 1888

CRIOKET 2 A WEEKLY RECORD OJb1 THE GAME. AUG. 9, 1888. N O T TS v. G L O U C E ST E R SH IR E . The Gloucestershire eleven, who have been showing very fair all-round cricket this year, gained a creditable victory over Notts on the Trent Bridge Ground, at N ottingham , on Friday last. R oberts was unable to play for Gloucestershire, and his place as taken by Mr. E. Peake, the successful Oxford bowler of 1882, who did good service, as will be seen, with both bat and ball. On the other hand, Mr. J. A . D ixon was an absentee from the N otts eleven, so that neither County had quite its regular forces. Scotton and Gunn opened the batting for Nott3 and made an excellent start, scoring 51 for the first wicket. Barnes played carefully for his 16, but except Flowers, none of the remaining batsmen shaped well. The last nine wickets only added 73 to the total, and of this number Flowers, who hit w ith great vigour, was responsible for 43. Mr. W . G. Grace showed more than his usual care when Gloucester­ shire went in, and he found a useful partner in Painten* who helped to raise the Soore from 48 for three wickets to 101, the game standing in that position at the end of the day with both batsmen still in. Painter was bowled after adding a single on Friday m orning, but Mr. Grace increased his score by 21 runs before he was caught. H e was in altogether a little over three hours for his 59, a m ost valuable as well as judicious display of batting. Later on, Messrs. Brain and Peake hit freely, and thanks in some measure to their partnership the first hands closed with Gloucestershire in possession of a great ad­ vantage. In a m inority of 53 Notts entered on their second innings, and the shire fared badly, being still eight runs behind when the fifth wicket fell. As on the previous day, though, Flowers came to the rescue of his side with som e free hitting, and before the end came 67 runs were added, Flowers having again the distinction of top score. W ith 63 to win, Gloucestershire soon lost Mr. E . M. Grace, but his brother, as well as Messrs. Pullen and Radcliffe, played well, and before six o ’clock on the second day the Gloucester­ shire eleven were left the wiuners with a good m ajority of six wickets. N o t t s . F irst Innings.

The Derbyshire eleven suffered another defeat on Tuesday at Leicester, where L eices­ tershire beat them by 27 runs. The scoring on both sides was low, the four innings only realising 231, or 209 from the bat, an average of just over five runs. Hulme, Pougher and R ylott bowled with success. Hulm e in L ei­ cestershire’s second innings took seven wickets for eleven, Pougher in Derbyshire’s first innings six for fifteen runs. L e ic e st e r s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

SU R R EY . The instances of first-class fixtures com ­ pleted in one day are so rare, that if for no other reason the first m atch of the season between these counties, begun and ended at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Thursday, would rank prom inently am ong the curiosities of a remarkable season. F or m any reasons ex­ ceptional interest was taken in this contest. Of the leading counties Lancashire was the only one which Surrey had not m et this year, and further it was felt that the Lancashire eleven was, perhaps, the m ost likely team to lower the colours of the form idable Southern com bination. N o m eeting this season, it is safe to say, had given rise to m ore general interest, and with representative sides it was confidently anticipated that the game would be productive not only of excellent all-round cricket, but of a hard fight. Unfortunately Lancashire was not able to claim the services of Messrs. A. G. Steel, J. Eccles, G. Jowett, or the Rev. J. R . Napier, and in the absence of these amateurs the county could not be said to be properly represented. Mr. H ornby having won the toss for Lancashire decided to take the innings, and this was thought to be of itself a piece of good fortune. The weather was fine, but the ground as it dried under the sunshine was certainly all in favour of the bowlers, and going in first was undoubt­ edly an advantage. Some very remarkable bowling by Lohmann, however, deprived Lan­ cashire of any benefit to be derived from w in­ ning the toss, and in an hour and an half the home team had been dismissed for the small total of 36. E ven this aggregate, too, would not have been reached, but for a bad decision which gave Pilling in before he had scored. As it was, Pilling’s ten was the only double figure on the side, and six of the eleven failed to make a run. Lohm ann’s figures were really extraordinary. H e bowled 23 overs and one ball, of which eighteen were maidens, for 13 runs and eight wickets, and of these, five were clean bowled. In a bowlers’ year there has been, it will be admitted, no more sensational piece of bowling. Surrey’s innings did i%)t open very well, and though Mr. Shuter made 17 in excellent style, the score was only 22 when the third w icket fell. W ith Mr. Shuter, Abel and Maurice Read out, things did not look very well, but a determined stand by Messrs. Read and K ey gave quite a new aspect to the game. M r. K ey should have been caught, but the help he gave Mr. Read was of the greatest value to the side, and his innings can not be too highly praised. The tw o amateurs added 58 runs w hile they were together, and their partnership did much to influence the result. Lohm ann subsequently made 14 by free hitting, but no one stayed long with Mr. Read, who carried out his bat for 49. Going in second wicket down, he was in while 101 runs were added, and considering the state of the ground, it was a display of
