Cricket 1889

180 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 13, 1889. L E I C E S T E R S H I R E v . Y O B K S H I R E . The Leicestershire eleven, weakened by the loss of Mr. J. A. Turner, who had shown such brilliant cricket against Surrey in the previous week at the Oval, and still more by the disable­ ment of Pougher, who owing to a sprained side was only able to bowl a few overs, were un­ able to make anything of a show in this match, played at Leicester on Monday and Tuesday. Lord Hawke, the Yorkshire captain, was play­ ing at Lord’s, and as Preston was unable to take part in the game owing to a strain places were found for two youngsters—Whitehead, a fast bowler who had proved so successful for the Yorkshire Colts against the Notts Colts earlier in the week, and Towler, of Yeadon. The Yorkshiremen, who won the toss, made the best use of a good wicket, and in four hours aud forty minutes secured 330 runs, an average of over seventy runs an hour. Lee, who went in on Ulyett’s retirement, scored very freely, and in an hour he was responsible for 72 out of eighty-six made for the second wicket—a brilliant display without a mistake. The chief feature of the innings, though, was the fine hitting of Peel. Soon after his arrival he was missed by Mr. Arnall Thompson, but with the exceptiouof a hard chance just after he had got nis hundred he had no other actual life. He was altogether three hours and twenty minutes at the wicket, and his score of 145 not out was an exceptionally good exhibition of well-timed and judicious hitting. His principal hits were twelve fours, nine threes, and eighteen twos. When Leicestershire went in Peel was as successful with the ball, and no one but Wheeler offered any serious resistance to his bowling. Of 162 got from the bat Wheeler made nearly one half, and his play in every way was worthy of praise. He was only batting for an hour and forty minutes, and there was nothing like a mistake in his score of 76, which included one five, six fours, and nine threes. Peel’s analysis, it will be seen, was extremely good. In 29 overs and 4 balls he took seven wickets at a cost of only 31 runs. Leicestershire, following on in a minority of 162, made a very bad start, and though Warren and Mr. De TrafFord put on 40 runs for the third wicket they never looked like making a good show. Wade, indeed, finished the match with a remarkable piece of bowling, taking six wickets in thirty-four balls at a cost of only ten runs. The innings only lasted two hours and ten minutes, and the Yorkshire eleven on its conclusion found them selves in possession of an easy victory by an in­ nings and 73 runs. Pougher Rylott ...

The Oxford eleven brought their home matches to a close at Oxford on Friday last, when they were beaten by a moderate eleven representing M.C.C. & Ground with seven wickets to spare. Messrs. Rashleigh and Bassett were unable to play for the University, but two old blues, Lord George Scott and Mr. G. Fowler, who had not been able to take their Diaces in the eleven before this season, were Doth in the team, the former, as will be seen, too, with satisfactory results. Losing the toss Marylebone had to take the field, but their out­ ing was not a long one and Attewell and Shacklock dismissed them for a small total of 112 , of which more than one half was con­ tributed by Lord Scott and Mr. Watson. Nor was the out oricket of Oxford of a better class. The Marylebone batsmen scored so fast from their bowling that ninety runs were realised in the first hour, and chiefly through the fine batting of Barnes they were able to head their ponents’ total by 111 runs. Of the aggregate 233 the Notts professional contributed 105. He might have been caught in the slips before he had scored, but with the exception of a chance of stumping when he had got sixty there was no other mistake. His innings, which had lasted two hours and three quarters, was one deserving of the highest praise. Going in a second time with 121 runs against them Oxford made a very unfavourable com mencement, two of the best batsmen, Messrs. Gresson and Jardine, being both out with the score only twenty. Messrs. Watson and Croome, however, both scored freely, and 60 runs were added before the latter was caught for a vigorously hit 44. Lord George Scott helped Mr.Watson to add 50, and Mr. Forster, the next batsman, 43. As many as 162 runs had been scored in an hour and three quarters when Mr.Watson was caught at short slip. He had given a chance of stumping when his score was 46, but this was the only flaw in an admir­ abledisplayof cricket,his off-drives in particular being very smart. At the finish Marylebone were left with 99 to win, and the Oxford bowl­ ing proved to be so easy that this number was obtained in sixty-five minutes, the University being defeated by seven wickets.

After a very even game on the first innings this match, begun on Thursday at Lord’s, ended early on Saturday afternoon in favour of Kent,who were 135 runs to the good at the close. Marylebone,although Gunn,Chatterton, Flowers and Hulme were in the eleven, had not a strong side, but Kent, except for the absence of Messrs.W. H. Patterson and Rashleigh, was fairly well represented. Though the wicket at the outset was in good condition, the scoring was unexpectedly small, and the result of the opening day was an aggregate of only 279 runs for the loss of twenty-one wickets. Flowers and Mr. Littlewood for M.C.C., and Mr. Fox were the principal scorers in the first hands, and Flowers shared the bowling honours with Martin. The last named was particularly successful, and his five wickets of Marylebone, as will be seen, only cost 17 runs. Kent in their second innings had got 45 for the loss of one wicket when play ceased on Thursday, and, as the wicket on Friday was easy after the overnight’s rain, they were able to make a good score. Frank Hearne fell to a splendid catch by Gunn in the long-field, after making 53 by good cricket, and on his retirement Mr. Fox and George Hearne made runs freely, adding 54 runs in thirty-five minutes. The latter, too, after Mr. Tonge’s departure found a useful partner in Mr. Marchant, who hit in his most effective style. Out of 127 put on during his innings of two hours the latter was responsible for as many as 72, and, except for a hard chance soon after he went in, and another just before he was out, there was no mistake in a fine exhibition of cricket. George Hearne, who went in first wicket down with the total at four, was not out when the innings closed. He was batting for four hours and a half, during which time he scored 84 out of 296 runs. His innings was without a blemish as far as we could see, and his play was marked throughout by great care as well as judgment. His figures included a five and nine fours. Marylebone, who wanted 275 to win, had on Friday night made 63 for the loss of two batsmen, and as the wicket on Saturday morning favoured the bowlers to some extent their chances were not of the best. Gunn, Flowers, and Chatterton helped to raise the total to 110 , but the later batsmen be­ tween them only added 26, so that Kent were left with an easy victory. Wright and Martin bowled throughout M.C.C.’s second innings, and the former did a very fine performance, getting nine of the ten wickets, seven of them clean bowled, for 72 runs.
