Cricket 1889

MAY 16, 1889. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 123 M.C.C. & GROUND v. LANCASHIRE. Rain, on Saturday, saved the Marylebone Club from acertain defeat atthe the hands of the Lancashire Elevenin the first importantmatch of the season, begun at Lord’s on Thursday. A sore throat prevented Mr. W. G. Grace from representing the M.C.C., but the eleven was fairly strong, including as it did, Mr. Shuter, Mr. O’Brien, Barnes, Gunn and Attewell. On the other hand, Lancashire, though Mr. A .O . Steel and Rev. J. R. Napier were absent, had almost its full strength. Special interest, too, was centred in the match by reason of the first appearance of A. Ward and A. Paul, both of whom had shown exceptionally promising form with the bat for the Colts of the North against the Colts of the South, at Lord’s, earlier in the week. W inning the toss, Lan­ cashire had the advantage of batting first with the ground in fairly good condition, and a creditable total of 189 was the result. Barlow showed his wonted care in the attainment of his 25, which occupied him over two hours. The best form on the side, though, was dis­ played by the two new men, Ward and Paul, who fully upheld the expectations based on their previous show at Lord’s. Ward went in second wicket, with the score at 40, and got 33 of the next 45 runs by sound and taking cricket. Paul, too, carried out his bat for an exceedingly good 36, and the latter received useful assistance from Pilling, who helped to add 51 for the ninth wicket. Heavy rain de­ layed the commencement of the Marylebone innings, and in the hour left on the first day 56 were scored for three wickets, Mr. Nepean, who made three 4’s from one over of Briggs, not out for a well got 81. The overnight rain saturated the ground so completely that a resumption was not possible on Friday till one o’clock. As was to be expected, too, when play did commence, rungetting was very difficult and it took two hours and twenty minutes for the remaining batsmen to add 75 runs. The best batting was that of Barnes, who was in two hours and a half. He played with great confidence on anything but a bats­ man’s wicket and the innings was one of no small merit. With a useful majority of 58 runs, Lancashire went in a second time at half-past four o’clock on Friday afternoon, and in the two hours left for play had scored 99 for the loss of seven wickets. Of this total Ward had made 52, and was still not out, hav­ ing again proved himself a reliable and capable bat against good bowling. Three-quarters of an hour on Saturday morning was required to settle the last three wickets for an addition of 85, Ward taking out his bat for exactly one half of the total. His score of 62 not out was the result of really good cricket. He stands six feet high, and making full use of his height plays with great judgment as well as con fidence. He was missed on Saturday morning, but this was his only actual mistake during his innings of two hours and a half, and his batting was of a distinctly high order, leading to the beliefthat he will develop into abatsman of the front rank. In this match he scored 95for once out, an exceptionally good performance for a first appearance, and on a ground not in favour of rungetting. Marylebone had 192 to win when they commenced their second innings on Saturday afternoon, but Watson bowled with such success that six of the best batsmen were out with the total only 43. Rain, however, stopped the game at this point, and, in the absence of any sign of cessation at four o’clock, it was decided to give up the match. Marylebone, when the game was stopped, wanted 150 to win with only four wickets to fall, so that the draw was all in favour of the county. L an cash ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

The Surrey Colts had the best of an inter­ esting match against a strongish side of the Clapham Wanderers, played at the Oval on Friday last. They won on the first innings by 11 runs, a result due chiefly to the good batting of Milbourn, Matthes and Roles, and the effective bowliug of Street and Lyddon. S u r r e y C olts . First Innings.

Some very promising form was shown by the Colts in this match, played at Brighton on Thursday and Friday last. Hollands, Mayes, Meaden, Chambers, and Lavender were the most successful in batting, which was decidedly above the average. Gibb was the most effective of the bowlers, taking six wickets for 18 runs.

The Richmond team won this match, played on the Old Deer Park at Richmond, on May 13, after a most exciting finish by six runs. The Colts, who went in first, were dismissed for 131, chiefly through the good bowling of F. Read, brother of Maurice Read, of the Surrey Eleven, who took seven of the nine wickets which fell to the bowlers at a cost of forty-five runs. Betts aud Roles bowled well for the Colts, but the batting of Pentelow and Fielder, who contributed 111 out of 130 from the bat, gave the youngsters serious trouble, and the former stayed until the score of the Colts was
