Cricket 1889

148 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. MAT 30, 1889 that he will be a great acquisition to Sussex. At the end of the first day Lancashire had scored 104 for the loss of seven wickets, but the] rain, which prevented a resumption on the following morning till 12.30, favoured the batsmen, and the remaining batsmen were not dismissed till they had given their side a lead of 8 runs, 56 runs having been added in fifty minutes. Sussex had to bat on Friday afternoon on a wicket drying after the rain,and after Quaife’ s dismissal the only stand was by Bean and Humphreys. These two batsmen, who both hit with resolution, if with luck as well, added 48 runs for the sixth wicket, and Bean’s contribution of 81, not out, was one of the greatest value. Lancashire, on Friday afternoon, were left with 103 to win, and as, when rain stopped play forty-five minutes later, three of the best batsmen, Mr. Hornby, Barlow and Mr. Eccles, had all been dismissed for only 30 runs, there was little really to favour either side at the end of the second day. The ground on Saturday, though, had dried considerably and the wicket played so much better that runs came fast. Sugg (8) and Ward (1) were the overnight not outs, and the former scored all round with such freedom that the total was raised to 95 before he was caught and bowled for a brilliantly hit 45 Ward, who played a most useful and judicious innings of 25, soon followed, but Briggs and Mr. Crosfield quickly knocked off the remaining runs, giving Lancashire a victory with half their wickets in hand. Briggs bowled with great success, and the new man, Mold, alao had excellent figures, taking six wickets for 37 runs. One of the most noticeable features of the match was the brilliant wicket-keeping of Pilling. Altogether he was instrumental in the dismissal of seven wickets, five caught and two stumped.

J. Webbe’s eleven on the previous Tuesday, brought an unfortunate week to a close at Oxford on Friday with another and even worse reverse, this time at the hands of Surrey, who, when the game ceased, were 183 runs in addition to an innings to the good. Though they had the advantage of batting first on a fast wicket, the University only made a very moderate show. Thanks to some good cricket by Messrs. Gresson, Jardine, and Watson, the score at luncheon time was 90 for 4 wickets, the first named in particular playing well. After the resump­ tion, though, Sharpe, the new Surrey bowler, proved remarkably effective, and the remaining batsmen were dismissed for an addition of only eight runs. Sharpe’s figures were of an ex­ traordinary character. In twenty-one overs and one ball he got five wickets at a cost of only five runs, and the performance was the more noteworthy from the fact that the pitch certainly did not favour the ball to any extent. When Surrey went in, though Mr. Shuter and Abel put on 47 runs in twenty-two minutes, the Oxford bowlers did well for a time, and with half the side out for a total of 108, the University had appar­ ently little cause for dissatisfaction. A t this point, however, Henderson joined Mr. Key, and the two batsmen effectually changed the whole aspect of the game. When they had got set, they scored at a good rate, though the amateur, whose figures included two hits over the ropes for six, put on runs the faster of the two. Both were in at the close of the first day, when the total was 229 for six wickets, or 111 since the previous fall, Mr, Key, not out, 75, Henderson, not out, 41. The latter, who had played with great judgment and in excellent style, only added ten on Friday morning, and of the four remaining batsmen, Beaumont alone lent Mr. Key any assistance. The professional, after making 34 in half-an-hour, was bowled, leaving Mr. Key to carry out his bat for 176 of a total of 387. The old Oxonian has not been seen to better advantage for a long time. He was at the wickets altogether for three hours and a half, and though he gave two chances after he had made a hundred, his innings was altogether a brilliant display of cricket. He utilised every opportunity of punishing a loose ball, and in proof of this it may be remarked that his score of 176 con­ sisted of two sixes, eighteen fours, nine threes, twenty-one twos, and only twenty-three singles. Oxford had a very difficult task before them when they went in for their second innings in a minority of no less than 289 runs. Unfortunately for their chances, too, Lohmann happened to be in his very best form with the ball, and except Mr. Rashleigh, the captain of last year, and Messrs. Philipson and Croome, no one was able to get double figures. Mr. Rashleigh’s 54 was an innings of more than ordinary merit. Going in first, he was ninth wicket down, and his runs, which were got without a mistake, included one six, five fours, five threes, and one two. Lohmann’s bowling in the second innings of Oxford was, as already stated, noteworthy, even for him. In 31 overs he took seven wickets at a cost of 42 runs, exceptional figures on a pitch in favour of the batsmen. T h e U n iv e r s it y . First Innings. F. H.
