Cricket 1889

JUNE 20, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 205 M IDDLESEX v. SURREY. Though they had rather the worst of the first innings in this match, begun at Lord’s on Monday, the Surrey eleven were seen to much better advantage on the following day, and won, after a well-contested game, by six wickets. Though Mr. O’Brien would have strengthened the batting, Middlesex had the eleven which has been representing it this year, with the one exception of Mr. Paravicini, whose place was taken by Rawlin. Surrey, too, had its usual team, Wood being able to take the wicket again. Surrey’s defeat by Notts last week led many to believe that Middlesex had a really good chance, and the interest taken in the meeting was shown by the large attendance each afternoon. As far as the first day went, too, the display of Surrey was certainly disappointing. Winning the toss, Mr. Shuter deemed it advisable, as the wicket had not as yet recovered from the heavy rains, to take the field, a decision which, although not producing any advantage on the first day, was justified by the much improved condition of the ground at the close of the match. Though Middlesex began inaus- piciously in losing Mr. Webbe at 12, Mr. Stoddart played such fine cricket that the total was 96 when the third wicket fell, of which he had contributed 64 in his very best style. At luncheon time the total was 110 with four batsmen out, and thanks to some free batting by Messrs. Nepean, who scored 14 from one over of Lohmann, and Hadow, 67 more were got before the last wicket fell. Though not altogether free from mistakes, Mr. Nepean’s 44 was an excellent innings. Beaumont and Lockwood were the most successful bowlers, but the out-cricket was by no means up to Surrey’s best form, and the fielding was capable of great improvement. Though Middlesex began well in getting rid of Abel for a single, Maurice Read’s brilliant hitting and Henderson’s steady batting improved matters materially, and as the total was 95 when the latter, the third wicket, was out, Surrey looked to have decidedly the best of the game. A fine one-handed catch high up by Mr. Webbe at mid-on which dismissed Mr. Read, however, turned the scale, and though Mr. Key and Lockwood scored fast for a time, the other batsmen failed so completely that, at the end of the innings, Middlesex had 33 runs in hand. Burton took five wickets for 39 runs, a good performance. Rawlin and Burton, who had made 10 without the loss of a wicket in the second innings of Middlesex on Monday night, increased the score by 19 before the former was caught at cover-point. Five runs later Burton played on, and Loh­ mann, who had been unsuccessful on the previous day, bowled with such effect that at two o’clock, when the luncheon interval arrived, six more batsmen had gone, the total then showing 150 for the loss of eight wickets. At that time Mr. Nepean was not out 44, and by brilliant hitting he made 20 of the 30 added before the innings closed. Soon after his arrival he had played a ball on to his wicket without removing either of the bails and he was missed at long-on when he had got 37. Still, his 64, though not without mistakes, was none the less a fine exhibition of cricket, and his performance in getting 108 for once out was a singularly creditable one. Lohmann bowled with great judgment and determination. He kept up the pavilion end throughout, and to«k eight of the ten wickets at an average cost of under eleven ruus, excellent figures against a strong batting side. Surrey, wanting 214 to win, began their second innings at 3.20 on Tuesday afternoon, and as there was three hours and forty minutes left, with ample time to finish the match that day. Mr. Shuter, who is altogether out of luck just now, was bowled at four. Abel, however, found a useful ally in Mr. Key, and the amateur at once began to score fast, helping to raise the total to 123 before his partner was out. Mr. W. W . Read was out l b w after making seven, but his namesake, Maurice Read, made runs rapidly, and 190 was up before the latter was bowled. Henderson came in with 24 still wanting, and these were quickly made, the runs‘having been got just before six o’clock, at;the average of over eighty an hour. Mr. Key carried out his bat for the second time in the match, and his perfor­ mance was an exceptionally brilliant one. He might possibly have been stumped just after he had got his hundred, but this was the only flaw in a remarkable display. He was in just two hours and a half, and his score was made up of thirteen fours, four threes, nineteen twos, and nineteen singles. In the two days 9,266 persons paid for admission.
