Cricket 1889

MAY 30, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EE COED OF THE GAME. •147 M.C.O. AND GROUND v. NOTTS. Without the Captain, Mr. J. A. Dixon> Arthur Shrewsbury, who injured his hand earlier in the week in the latter part of the match with Sussex at Trent Bridge, Gunn, Sherwin, and Richardson, Notts were only poorly represented in this match, begun at Lord’s on Thursday last. On the other hand, there was a conspicuous absence of amateurs in the Marylebone eleven, which was com­ posed of nine professionals, with Messrs. S. W. Scott, of Middlesex, andD. D. Pontifex, who played occasionally for Surrey some few years ago. Instead of the five absentees above named, Notts found places for Wright of Key- worth, Foster of Eastwood, Robinson of Bas- ford Park—three Colts, Carlin, who is under­ study for Sherwin at the wicket, and Mr. Beves, an amateur, who has played for Notts in a few matches during the last year or two. The County, who won the toss, made a very bad start against the bowling of Pougher and Alec Hearne, and the score was 39 with six wickets down. Barnes, who had seenWright, Attewell and Foster all dismissed without a run, however, found a useful partner in Flowers, and subsequently in Mee, who, play­ ing in capital form, helped to add as many as 66 runs for the last wicket. Had it not been for Barnes the County would only have made a E oor show. He was in altogether three ours and a half, and his judicious batting enabled his side to reach a much better total than at one time seemed likely. W ith the exception of two hard chances during the latter part of the innings, his score of 90 not out was without a flaw. Though a heavy thunderstorm delayed the commence­ ment of the Marylebone innings for a little over an hour, runs came quickly when play did begin, and at the close of the day the score was 76 with three batsmen out. The early|promise of the Marylebone batting was, however, not fulfilled on the second morning, and Mr. Pontifex being absent the innings closed with the fall of the ninth wicket, the later batsmen, four of whom failed to score, having only added 30 runs. At the close of the first hands, Notts had a useful lead of 70 runs, but Pougher, Alec Hearne, and Martin bowled with such success that Scotton and Flowers, who added 63 for the fifth wicket, alone made any stand, and the total only reached 86. Scotton’s defensive cricket was the great feature of the innings. Going in first he was ninth out, having been two hours and a quarter at the wickets for his 26. W ith 157 to win, the Marylebone had no easy task when they went in a second time on Friday afternoon, and with George Hearne and Mr. Scott both out at 36, their position was not improved. Chatterton and Frank Hearne, however, made light of the Nottingham bowl­ ing, and as both batsmen hit with freedom the score rose fast. In two hours the total was increased by 109, and then Hearne, who had given no actual chance in his score of 64, was bowled by Scotton. Davenport came in to help Chatterton, and tho twelve still wanted were soon added, Chatterton taking out his bat for a brilliant not out innings of 72. M.C.C. won with seven wickets to spare.

WARW ICK­ SHIRE. The Warwickshire Eleven, after having a little the best of the game throughout, were able to claim a very creditable victory in this match, begun at Bristol on Thursday, claim a majority of 68 runs when the last ball was bowled on Saturday morning. The occasion was one of particular interest for a double reason, that it was the first meeting between the two Counties as well as the opening match of any importance on the new ground fully* Neithef"'sig'e "was“~f I T y Q, fii Mr1. Pullen and Woof were both absent from the Gloucestershire Eleven, and Messrs.Bainbridge and Whitby from that of Warwickshire. The ground did not appear at the outset to have recovered from the recent rains, and the first day’s play onlv realised 240 runs for twenty- one wickets. Richards and Pallett showed good cricket for Warwickshire, on Law’s dismissal, and the pair added 53 for the second wicket. After this, though, things went badly for them, and it was only a useful stand by Bird and. Lilley at the close that brought the Warwickshire total to respectable figures. Gloucestershire’s bat­ ting was more disappointing, as no one except Mr. W . G. Grace, who was credited with nearly one half of the total, offered any serious opposition to the two slow bowlers, Shilton and »Pallett, and when the tenth wicket fell, tho total was 36 short of that made by Warwickshire. A heavy thunderstorm prevented play on Friday between half-past one and half-past five o’clock, and with a wet ball and slippery ground the Gloucestershire men were placed at a disadvantage. Shilton hit away with no small amount of luck, and, chiefly through his most valuable score of 53, the second innings of Warwickshire reached a total of 157. Gloucestershire on Saturday morning were left with 194 to win, but Shilton and Pallett made such good use of a pitch to favour them that the result was hardly ever in doubt. Messrs. Brain and Townsend put on 40 runs for the sixth wioket, but their stand was the only really noticeable feature of the innings and the out-side always bad plenty in hand. Warwickshire’s success was due in a great measure to the all-round crioket of Shilton and Pallett. The former took nine wickets for 73, the latter eight for 97 runs. The bowling figures of Roberts and Mr. Radcliffe for Gloucestershire also deserve notice. In the match Roberts secured ten wickets for 92 runs, W arwickshibe . R First Innings.

SUSSEX. After a very interesting game throughout the Lancashire eleven succeeded in winning their first home match of the season, begun on Thursday at Old Trafford,beating Sussex, early on Saturday, with fivewickets to spare. Sussex had identically the same team which had represented it earlier in the week against Notts, while Lancashire had very much its usual eleven, Baker, who played several times last year, taking the place of A. Paul, one of the recent acquisitions. Winning the toss Sussex had the advantage of batting on a good wicket, an advantage of which they made only moderate use. Five batsmen got double figures, but the best feature of the innings was the stand of Jesse Hide and the Colt Major, who added 66 for the fourth wicket. Major was batting a little over two hours for his 29, and his. excellent performances against Notts, and in this match, warrant the belief
