Cricket 1888

840 CRIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 16, 1888. S U R R E Y ^ . SU S S E X . Som e phenomenal scoring by the Surrey Eleven marked the return m atch between these counties, comm enced at Kennington Oval on Thursday last. F ive years ago the Sussex bowlers were punished to the tune of 631 runs in this same m atch, but that record was com pletely outdone last week, and in fact the aggregate on that occasion was beaten by 67 runs. W inning the toss, and favoured for the first tim e this season by a really fast wicket, the stronr batting of Surrey was seen to marked advan­ tage. Mr. Shuter and A bel scored at a good pace at the outset, and at luncheon tim e, at the end of just under two hours, the score was 126, w ith both batsmen still in, Mr. Shuter having scored 72 and A bel 42. Thirty-five were added on the renewal before Abel was caught, and at the same total Mr. Shuter also retired, bow led by a good ball from A rthur Hide. Mr. Shuter had been batting nearly two hours and a half for his 95, and though he ought to have been caught at short-slip when he had made eleven, and a little later played one of A rthur H ide’s on without dis­ lodging a bail, his innings was altogether in every way worthy of his reputation. Lohm ann, after m aking 24, was stumped, but Messrs. Read and K ey scored fast off all the Sussex bowlers, and the total had been increased by no less than 193 runs when the latter played a ball from M r. Newham into his wicket. Just at first Mr. K ey was not quite at his ease, but when he settled down he got his runs with little effort and in free style. Mr. Read con ­ tinued to bat in his best form , and never losing an opportunity of scoring was not out at the close of the day, having contributed 128 to the huge aggregate of 424 for five wickets. Friday, too, saw some remarkable batting. Mr. R ead found a congenial partner in Mr. Bowden, and runs cam e at a great rate, 127 having been added in a little over an hour and a half, when Mr. Read was caught at the wicket. Until he had got 164, when he was missed at m id-off, he had made no mistake, and he has rarely if ever been seen to better advantage, his hitting all round being singu­ larly clean and well-tim ed. Mr. Read was in altogether a little over four hours and a half, and during this tim e 380 runs had been added to the score. Chiefly through the brilliant all-round hitting of Mr. Bowden 116 runs were added during his stay with Henderson in an hour and twenty m inutes, and the amateur ultimately carried out his bat at the close of a m ost remarkable display of batting. E very one of the Sussex eleven was tried with the ball during the innings, which lasted eight hours and fifty minutes, and the total was only tw o short of seven hundred when the tenth wicket fell. This exceeds by 48 the highest previous record in a first-class match in England, Surrey’s 650 against Oxford U ni­ versity at the Oval last June, and by 67 the best total in a first-class inter-C ounty match, 631 by Surrey against Sussex at the Oval in 1883. Mr. B ow den’s 189 not out was one of the very best features of a m ost rem ark­ able innings. H e gave tw o chances after he had got his hundred, but a better display of free and judicious hitting has not been seen for a long tim e, and in proof of this it need only be added that he was in just three hours and a half for his score, which included a five and tw enty-five fours. Tired after their long outing the Sussex batsmen only made a poor show against the bowling of Lohm ann and Beaum ont, and in two hours and ten minutes the innings was over for an unexpectedly small total of 114. Going in a second tim e in a m inority of 584 runs, Mr. Smith and Arthur H ide made a better start, and at the end of the day one batsman (A- Hide) was gone with the total 31. Mr. Sm ith on Saturday m orning, too, played well, and at one tim e the score was 80 with only tw o batsmen out. W hen Lohm ann, however, went on to bowl the end soon came, and though the wicket was still fast and true the rem aining batsmen only added 19, so that the gam e cam e to a premature term ination leaving Surrey with a decisive victory by an innings and 485 runs. In the tw o innings of Sussex Lohm ann took twelve wickets for 78 runs. S u r r e y . Abel, c A. Hide, b J. H id e .........................59 Mr.J.
