Cricket 1889

JUNE 20,1889. CKICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 195 LORD HAWKE’S XI. v. SHERWIN’S XI. A match under this title, played at Scar­ borough on Thursday last and two following days, ended in a draw, the former, at the close, wanting 120 runs to win, with only four wickets to fall. Lord Hawke was not able to play, but his team was practically a Yorkshire side, while Sherwin’s eleven was really Notts without Mr. Dixon and Shrewsbury. Lord Hawke’s eleven had a lead of only 39 on the first hands, although Ulyett, Hall, and Lee made such a good start for them that, at the end of the first day, they were only 47 runs behind w ith' eight wickets to fall. When Sherwin’s eleven went in a second time, how­ ever, the Yorkshire bowlers had a bad time of it, and nine of the Notts eleven got double figures. Barnes, Mr. Daft, and Gunn were the principal contributors, and all three were seen to great advantage. Barnes’ 91 included ten 4’s, and Gunn’s '46 a big hit out of the ground for 6. On Saturday Lord Hawke’s eleven had to go in to get 278 to win, and but for Hall and later on for a useful stand by Peel and Mr. Leadbeater, who raised the score from 95 to 133 for the fifth wicket, they would, in all likelihood, have lost. As it was, had anything like strict time been observed, the match might have well been played out. Shacklock and Wainwright both bowled well in the first innings for Sherwin’s and Lord Hawke’s eleven respectively. S h erw in ’s XI. First Innings. Mr. H. B. Daft, b Peel ...

Steel, who has not participated in County cricket since the Surrey match at Old Trafford in 1887, the first of the two fixtures between Lancashire ?and Kent, played at Manchester on Thursday and Friday last, would have been invested with particular interest. His re­ appearance too, was attended by good luck, as Kent, who in the absence of Lord Harris and Messrs. W . H. Patterson and Rashleigh were not a very strong batting side, were never really dangerous, and Lancashire had won by nine wickets before five o’clock on the second afternoon. Lancashire, who won the toss, made a bad start, Mr. Hornby, Barlow and Mr. Eccles being all out at 16. Mr. Steel and Sugg put on 79, but at this figure both batsmen were dismissed, as was also Mr. Crosfield, so that with six of the best batsmen out for 95, there did net appear to be a great chance of a good score. Ward, who had gone in fourth wicket down at) 95, however, again proved of real value to the County, and with useful help from Briggs and Pilling, 102 runs were added for the last four wickets. Ward was in two hours and ten minutes for his 57, an excellent though not faultless display of steady cricket. The Kent batsmen made such a moderate show against the bowling of Mold and Watson, that Mr. Tonge, Mr. Marchant and F. Hearne alone got double figures, and after losing eight wickets for 64, on Thursday night, were all out on Friday morning for an addition of 20 runs. The two bowlers named' bowled unchanged, Mold taking six and Watson four wickets. Following on, 113 runs to the bad, Frank and Alec Hearne played such good cricket for Kent, that at luncheon time the score was 50 without a wicket. Unfortunately, however,this promise was in no way maintained,as Mold and Watson again carried everything before them and the total after all only reached 123. Mold andWatson this time equallydivided thewickets and the former had an excellent analysis, get­ ting in the match eleven wickets for 89 runs. Pilling received a nasty blow on the head, the ball glancing off F. Hearne’s bat, though he stuck to his place at the wicket notwithstand­ ing. Though Lancashire had only eleven runs to win, this number cost them one batsman (Barlow). Kibble of the West Kent Wanderers was tried for the first time in this match. The attendance was large, and it was computed that in the two days over twenty thousand were present. L a n c a s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. A. N.

The Cambridge University Eleven, who in the last of their home fixtures had made such a good fight against Yorkshire, were seen to great disadvantage in the first of their out matches, played at Kennington Oval on Thursday and Friday last. W ith the exception that Adams, who kept three times in 1887, took wicket instead of W ood, Surrey had its usual team, Bowley being again replaced by Lockwood, who had shown good all-round cricket against Notts earlier in the week. Cambridge, however, had not its full strength with Messrs. Thomas and Butler both away, and in their absence room was found for Messrs. Cotterill, the old Brightonian, and Woodhead. the Loretto Freshman, who had been scoring well in College matches. Mr. Shuter was fortunate enough to win the toss, but the ground had not quite recovered from the recent heavy rains, and at times the bowlers got a I og of work on. The Surrey captain and Abel put on 32 for the first wicket, and the latter, with Read, brought the score to 95 by luncheon time, two hours having been occupied in making the runs. Abel, who had been batting for two hours and a half with some luck, was caught at third man just after, and! Read, who had played free and good cricket for his 63, was finely caught from a hard return seven runs later. Lohmann and Mr. W. W . Read were both caught at the wicket, but Henderson stayed with Mr. Key while fifty runs were added, of which he had contributed 27, not without chances. Mr. Key, who had also some little fortune, hit with freedom when he had got well set, and towards the last scored freely from all the bowlers, making 62 out of 118 while he was in. Going in against a total of 259, the Cambridge batsmen made a very poor show against the bowling of Lohmann and Sharpe. The wicket certainly helped the ball, but making every allowance the form was very disappointing, Mr. Hale alone playing with any confidence, and when play ceased on Thursday night the score was only 54 with eight of the best wickets down. On Friday morning Messrs. McGregor and Cotterill put on sixteen, and as De Little, the last man, hit out freely, 30 were added before the innings closed, McGregor being last out for a well got fifteen. Following on in a minority of 159, Cambridge fared even worse than before, though the bowling was this time entrusted to Beaumont and Lockwood. Half the wickets were down for 27, and though Woods raised the hopes of the Cantabs slightly by some lively hitting, he was well caught at long-on when he had made thirteen. After this the end soon came, and when De Little was bowled the match was over, Surrey having an easy victory by an innings and 85 runs. S urrey . Abel, c Crawley, b Woods ............... 50 Mr. J.
