Cricket 1888

AUG, 30, 1888. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 871 played with the greatest care, had been caught at cover point j uSt before, and at the same total, ana when Blackham was caught soon after-the innings closed for 298. In a m inority of 55 the Universities began their second inn­ ings. As stumps, however, had to be drawn at 4.4 3,to allow the Australian team to get to Man­ chester for their engagment against England to comm ence to-day, only three quarters of an .hour remained for play. This brief period, though, proved sufficient to get rid of five bats­ men for 54 runs, and the game was thus left unfinished, the Universities being still one run behind w ith five wickets down in their second innings.

These Counties brought their season to a close at Trent Bridge Ground, Nottingham, yesterday, with a drawn game, a result due to the interference of rain on each of the three days. Notts had the eleven it has been play­ ing of late with one exception, the substitution of R. J. Mee, the fast bowler who played once or twice last year, for Briggs. The Middlesex team differed in two instances from that which beat Gloucestershire at Cheltenham on Satur­ day, Mr. G. F. Vernon and Dunkley taking the places of Hon. F. J. N. Thesiger and Mr. E. M. Hadow. Middlesex winning the toss made the best use of an excellent pitch, and Messrs. O’ Brien and Walker in an hour and twenty minutes had put on 92 for the first wicket, when the former was out lbw for a finely hit 58. Mr. Walker, who played with his usual care, found a useful successor in Mr. Nepean, and when rain stopped play just after 4 o’clock, the latter was not out 45. Up to this time 179 runs had been got in three hours, for the loss of half the side, and as a steady downpour prevented any jjlay on Tues­ day, no great interest was attached to yester­ day’s cricket, with little or no chance of a definite result. Mr. Nepean continued to bat with great care, and seeing the other batsmen retire, was not out whan the innings closed for 225. His score of 59 was an excellent display in every way, and of the greatest value to the side. Mention of the Middlesex batting would hardly be complete without a word of praise fcr the bowling of Richardson, who took seven of the ten wickets for seventy-five runs. The ground was fairly easy at the commencement of the first innings of Notts, and Mr. Dixon and Scott made a good start, the total being 45 when the former was out leg before. After luncheon, though, the bowlers found more assistance from the wicket, and the latter part of the innings was only redeemed by some good cricket by Attewell, who carried out his bat. When Notts followed on in a minority of 107, Mr. Dixon and Attewell were seen to great advantage, and they stayed until the finish, play ceasing for the day with the dismissal of the amateur. The two batsmen, while they were together, had put on 124 runs by fine cricket, and thus when the game ceased Notts were 17 on with one wicket down in their second innings.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SURREY. The Surrey eleven brought their more important engagements of the season to a close on the Clifton College Ground, yesterday, with a game drawn entirely in their favour. Owing to the rain of the previous day, the wicket at the outset was slow, but Mr. W. G. Grace, who won the toss, deemed it advisable to take the innings, and Surrey had to turn out to the field. Their outing though was not of very long duration, as Lohmann and Beaumont bowled with such success that the side were all out in an hour. Mr. W. G. Grace was out unluckily without scoring, and Mr. Brain proved to be the chief contributor to Gloucestershire’s poor total of 39 with 9. In this success of Surrey Lohmann, as he has done so often, played the leading part, and his performance was a most remarkable one, on a par with his great achievement against Lanca­ shire at Manchester, early in the month. Seven of the ten wickets fell to his bowling, and only 17 runs were made off him. Mr. John Shuter, altering the usual or&er, sent Mr. Bowden in with Abel, to open the Surrey batting, and these two put on 88 before the amateur, who had made twenty-six of them, was caught. Abel, however, continued to play all the Gloucestershire bowling with equal confidence, and with useful assist­ ance from Messrs. Key, Read, Shuter, and Maurice Read, Surrey did well. At the end of the day, the score was 261 or 222 on, with only seven wickets down, Abel, who had been batting for three hours and forty minutes, without giving anything like a chance, not out 94. Heavy rain prevented any play on Tuesday, and it was not possible to begin yesterday until twenty-five minutes to two o’clock. When it was resumed, Abel, who is as a rule very unlucky in getting out when well within reach of his hundred, was soon out, being dismissed after adding two runs. His innings was, as already stated, in every way worthy of his high reputation, and it was sin­ gularly unfortunate that he should have got out yesterday, and also failed to reach three figures. At luncheon time the Surrey total was 267 for eight wickets, and as rain pre­ vented any further play, the game had to be left in this condition, Surrey having a lead of 228 runs and two wickets.
