Cricket 1889

JUNE 27, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. 221 NOTTS v. LANCASHIRE. Following up their brilliant victories over Middlesex, Sussex and Surrey, the Notting­ hamshire eleven added another brilliant performance to their records of the season at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, when they beat Lancashire by an innings and 69 runs. Notts had its usual team, but Lancashire was not in full strength. Mr. Steel, Mr. Eccles, as well as Barlow, who has strained his leg lately, being absent. Mr. Hornby was fortunate enough to win the toss, but except Briggs, who was in an hour and a quarter for his thirty-eight, and the colts Paul and Ward, no one reached double figures, and only 1 06 runs were got from the bat. Notts were unlucky in losing Shrewsbury for five, but Gunn and Barnes put on 101 runs while they were together by the best cricket, and Flowers lent Barnes such assistance that when play ceased on the first night Notts were 66 runs ahead of their opponents, with only four wickets down. Flowers and Barnes, who were not out with 68 and 31 respectively, added thirty-four on Tuesday before the former was caught, having contributed 65 out of 9 8 runs during his stay, in good style. Barnes continued to bat with the greatest judgment and confidence until the total was 246, when he was bowled by Mold. He had been in three hours and a half, while 2 06 runs were got, and during this time he did not give a chance. His perfor­ mance, too, was the more meritorious, as he was suffering from a bad hand, so much so, we believe, as to make it doubtful whether he would be able to play. Lancashire, who were in a minority of 1 48 runs on the first innings, began their second about twenty minutes before luncheon on Tuesday, and at the interval had got 24 for the loss of their captain, Mr. Hornby. Afterwards, F. Ward and Watson were the only batsmen able to offer any serious resistance to the bowling of Richardson and Attewell, who were helped to some extent by the wicket. The batting, alto­ gether, was disappointing, and, as will be seen, Ward and Watson were responsible for 63 of the total of 8 9 . This is the fourth successive match Notts has won this season b-j more than an innings, and the team de­ serve the heartiest congratulations on what we fancy must be a unique performance. Shacklock, who is bowling in very fine form this year, was, it will be seen, very successful in Lancashire’s first innings. L a n c a sh ir e . First Innings. Second Innings, F.

The Surrey eleven, who it will be remem­ bered made an innings of 650 last year on the same occasion, were credited with some heavy scoring in this match, begun at the Oval on Mon lay last. Mr. Forster was unable to play for Oxford, and Mr. Fielding again took wicket instead of Wood, while Beaumont stood out of the Surrey eleven. Mr. Shuter, who won the toss, to the great satisfaction of the spectators soon showed that he was in form, and it was not till the score was 77 that Abel saw him dismissed for forty, a very gratifying proof that he had goHto the end of the ill-luck which has been following him this year. Mr. Fielding, though at first a little shaky, when he settled down played in good form, and Abel and he were still together at luncheon time, the score then showing 134 for one wicket. On resuming, though Mr. Fielding gave a chance to Moss at short-slip when he had got 28, the batting improved, and it was not until the total had reached 260 that the amateur was had at point, a good catch. The paitnership had realised 183 runs, and Mr. Fielding, who was batting for two hours and thirty-five minutes, deservesevery praise for a most creditable display of cricket. As often happens after a long stand, Abel was well caught and bowled with the addition of a run, and ixi the same over Mr. Key, who has been batting in such brilliant form this season, was caught at the wicket without scoring, all three batsmen falling to Mr. Jardine, Abel’s 138,if not in quite his best style, was none the less a good innings, with one actual chance just after he had reached his hundred. He was in alto­ gether three hours and three-quarters. The two Reads were now together, and runs came very fast, one hour producing a hundred. Mr. Jardine, however, was again triedwith success, as he got Mr. Read caught at the wicket, the outgoing batsman, who was in his best form, having helped to add 148 runs in an hour and a half. On Lohmann’s arrival Maurice Read continued to hit with great freedom all round, and at seven o’clock the two were still in, Read 83, Lohmann 22, and the total 463 for five wickets. On Tuesday morning Lohmann was caught after adding six, and Henderson, who did not appear to be at home, was bowled without scoring. Read found another useful partner, however, in Lockwood, who, after a time, hit freely, and the tocal was raised to 643 before a fine catch at mid-off dismissed Read. A finer display of well-timed, vigorous hitting has rarely been seen than Read’s 136. He punished all the bowling with equal power, and* there was not a chance that we saw during his innings of three hours and a half. Sharpe was run out without scoring, but Bowley, the last man, helped to increase the score by 65, leaving Lockwood to carry out his bat for a very useful 53. The Oxford men had been fielding for eight hours and ten minutes, so that the scoring was at the rate of well over seventy runs an hour. Oxford began badly after their long outing, losing two batsmen for only onerun. Messrs. Rashleigh and Watson, however, played the good bowling of Surrey very well, and the former was not dismissed till the total was 127, of which he had got fifty by steady cricket. Mr. Thesiger, who has done little this season, batted with great confidence later on, and it was mainly to his excellent play at the finish that the Oxford total reached 180. Following on, the University fared worse, and on Tuesday night four wickets were down for 44. Yesterday the batting was seen to even greater disadvantage, and in less than an hour the remaining wickets were secured, Surrey in the end claiming a decisive victory by an innings and 367 runs. Lohmann took eleven Oxford wickets for 95 runs. S u r r e y . Abel, c and b Jardinel38 Mr. J. Shuter, c Croome,b Fowler... 40 Mr. F. Fielding, c Gresson, b Jardine 75 Mr. W. W.

O n the 15th inst., at Merton Hall, Wimble­ don, the Polytechnic and Westminster played their second round in the London and Suburban Association Cup Competition. The Polytechnic reached the Westminster’s score of 72 for the loss of 7 wickets, but failed to add another run, and the game was thus left a tie, the last three wickets being taken by Betts with successive balls.
