Cricket 1889

214 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE/07,. 1889. SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The Cambridge Eleven are to be congratu­ lated on a really good performance at Brighton at the end of last week, when they defeated Sussex by ten wickets after having to go in against the large total of 3L6. Mr. F. Thomas was absent from the University team, while Sussex gave another trial to Mr. W . H. Andrews, and in the absence of H. Phillips to their new wicket-keeper Mayes. Mr. Newham having been fortunate enough to obtain choice of innings for Sussex on Thursday, the county had first use of a perfect pitch, an opportunity which they utilised fully, the score showing 316 when the tenth wicket fell. Mr. Newham and Jesse Hide, who was missed twice by Mr. ■Woods, scored freely on the fall of the second wicket; but the partnership of Mr. Dudney with Arthur Hide was even more successful, and these two batsmen added 110 runs for the seventh wicket. Cambridge had a little over an hour left for play when they went in on Thursday afternoon, and in this time Messrs. Mordaunt and Foley put on 76 without the loss of a wicket. On Friday morning Mr. Foley was dismissed for an addition of only nine runs, but Messrs. Mordaunt, Crawley, and Gosling were all seen to such advantage that the total was 175 when the third wicket fell. Mr. Ford’s brilliant hitting was, how­ ever, decidedly the feature of the long innings of Cambridge. Joining Mr. Gosling on the fall of the third wicket he got 123 runs with only one chance, that not an easy one, when he had made 51. He hit all-round with the greatest confidence, and as he was only an hour and fifty minutes at the wicket it will be seen that he scored at an unusual pace. In a minority of 114 Sussex opened their second innings very inauspiciously, Quaife, Major, and J. Hide being all dismissed before the total reached 40. Another disaster followed in the dismissal of Mr. Newham at 52, and before the end of the second day two more batsmen retired, Sussex then still wanting two runs to avert an innings defeat with four wickets to fall. Saturday’s cricket was of the briefest duration. The Sussex innings closed for an addition of seven runs, and altogether three- quarters of an hour were expended for eleven runs and the loss of four wickets. S u s s e x . First Innings.

Second Innings. The Derbyshire eleven signally failed sustain the good form shown at Leyton in the earlier part of the week, when they met Surrey at the Oval on Thursday and Friday last. Their batting on this occasion broke down to such an extent before the bowling of L oh­ mann and Bowley that the pair were un­ changed in both innings, and a few minutes after three on Friday found Surrey vic­ torious by an innings and 223 runs. Two gentlemen made their first appearance in first- class cricket on this occasion, Mr. F. Fielding, well-known member of the Incogniti and Richmond Clubs, who took Wood’s place be­ hind the wioket most creditably for Surrey, and Mr. F. Evershed, the International Rugby footballer, who joined his two brothers in the Derbyshire eleven. Though, in Mr. Shuter’s absence, Mr. Read was fortunate to obtain choice of innings, at the onset it seemed as if Surrey would again ftiil to show their proper form. They lost four good men in Abel, Mr. Read, Mr. Key, and Henderson for 67 runs, and the score was only 123 when the sixth wicket fell, a moderate show on a true and fast wicket. On Lockwood joining Maurice Bead, however, a great change came over the game, their partnership adding 89. Read in two hours made 103 in his usual free and hard hit style. Lockwood left with the score at 282 for nine wickets, having con­ tributed an admirable 81 without a mistake in an hour and forty minutes, and then came what eventually proved to be the longest part­ nership. Beaumont and Sharpe were the two last men to oppose the worn-out Derbyshire bowlers, and so well did they bat that, in the course of eighty-five minutes, the Surrey total was increased by 118 runs, Beaumont’s dis­ missal at coverpoint bringing the score to exactly 400. It is worthy of note that the last four wickets put on no less than 277 runs. The long outing seriously told on the visitors when they took their turn at the wickets, as in the sixty-five minutes left for play on the first day, they lost half their wickets for 62 runs. On resuming, in fine weather, on Friday, the Derbyshire eleven made no better a show than on the previous evening. Lohmann and Bowley were again unchanged, and they bowled so well that Derbyshire’s first innings closed for the poor total of 87. This sum,too, they were only able to increase on their second attempt by 3. Davidson, on the latter occasion, batted steadily for his runs, and though the Surrey team were fortunate to get Chatterton in both innings at the wicket, it must be confessed that the Derbyshire batting was very disap­ pointing. Bowley had an excellent anaiysis, his ten wickets costing an average of only eight and a half runs. Lohmann’s nine wickets cost 83 runs. Mr. E.

Though represented by a better team than when defeated in the first meeting at Oxford, the Universitv had to endure another reverse in this match, played at Manchester on Thursday and Friday. Mills, of Old­ ham, kept wicket for Lancashire instead of Pilling, who was laid up with an attack of pleurisy, while Mr. Gresson was the only pro­ minent absentee on the Oxford side. Though the sixth wicket realised 91, the Oxford Eleven, who went in first, were dismissed for 156, of which Messrs. Rashleigh, Watson, Jardine, and the captain, Mr. Philipson, con­ tributed 119. Watson proved very expensive for Lancashire, and for some reason or other was kept on the whole innings, while Briggs, who only bowled nine overs at the end, got two batsmen at a cost of thirteen runs. Lan­ cashire made even a worse commencement than their opponents, losing Mr. Eccles, Bar- low, and Sugg for only 21. On Mr. Hornby join­ ing Ward on the fall of the fourth wicket the longest stand of the day was made, The captain, as usual, hit out in all directions, while Ward played steady cricket until he lost Mr. Hornby, caught in the slips just before time for a dashing innings of 39. At the end of the first day Lancashire had made 138 for seven wickets, and this total they increased on Friday morning by 34, Ward being caught for an extremely well- played 62. When the University commenced their second innings the wicket showed evident signs of breaking up, particularly at
