Cricket 1889

226 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 4, 1889. was an absentee from cricket for the rest of the year,an incalculable loss to the Sussex eleven. This year Bean signalised the opening of the season with a very fine bowling performance for Sussex v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s. In the two innings of M.C.C. he secured thirteen wickets for 67 runs, and had in the second the additional satisfaction {of clean bowling Mr. W. G. Grace for three. Alto­ gether, too, though he has not been credited since with a great record, his all-round cricket has been of great use to Sussex, and the value of his services cannot be overrated. Bean is one .of the best all-round profes­ sionals in the South. He bowls medium pace round-arm well above the shoulder, and, varying his pitch and pace well, is—paiticu- larly when the ground helps him—sure to be effective, even against the best batsmen. He is a dangerous bat withal, scoring very fast when his eye is in. Further, he is a very good field in any position. Our portrait is from a photograph by E. Hawkins & Co., the well-known photographic artists of 108, King’s Hoad, Brighton. L a n c a s h ir e .

The Lancashire Eleven had some compensa­ tion for their defeat at Nottingham earlier in the week by a decisive victory over Surrey at Manchester on Friday last. Except for the absence of Barlow and Mr. Eccles, Lancashire had its usual side reinforced by the help of Mr. A. G. Steel, who, it is to be regretted only plays rarely for the County. Surrey had its strength, Mr. Shuter deciding to leave out Sharpe and utilize Beaumont. Mr. Hornby, winning the toss, went in with F . Ward on Thursday, and the captain had got 41 out of 51 in thirty-five minutes by good cricket, when he was caught. Thanks to a well-got 50 by F. Ward, and with useful assistance from his namesake, the Lancashire men had made at luncheon time the very respectable total of 121 for the loss of only three batsmen. On the resumption, Sugg punished the Surrey bowlers severely, and his partnership with A . Ward resulted in an addition of 107. Ward’s 49 in the early part was hardly up to the standard of his best performances of this year, but no fault of any sort could be found with Sugg’s 69 which was an exceptionally good exhibition of all-round hitting. He made his runs in an hour and twenty minutes without a chance, and in his figures were twelve 4’s. The total was 228 for four wickets when Sugg was out, • but except Baker, who hit hard, the remaining batsmen did but little against Lohmann and Bowley and only 56 bad been added when the innings closed. Wood, it will be seen, was in great form behind the stumps, catching four batsmen. Surrey, going in at 5.30, in the hour left for play on Thursday, scored 45 for the loss of three of their best batsmen, Pilling catching both Mr. Shuter and Abel. Surrey had all the worst of the cricket on the first day, but the wicket played so badly on the second day that any chance they might have had was lost. Mold’s fast bowling was particularly dangerous, and the bowlers re­ ceived so much help from the ground that the Surrey team were very heavily handicapped. The two Reads, Lockwood, Wood, and Bowley all got double figures on Friday morning, but no one was able to stay long enough to bring on a change, and Watson and Mold equally di­ vided the ten wickets. Following on in a minority of 171 runs, as the ground was, Surrey’s chance was hopeless. Mr. Shuter, by brilliant hitting, had made 39 out of 47 for the first wicket at luncheon-time, but except from Abel, who was in two hours and deserves high praise for his plucky score of 39, Watson and Mold found no serious resistance, and before half-past four on Friday the match was over, Lancashire having won by an innings and 48 runs.

Nottinghamshire secured their fifth con­ secutive victory of the season by more than an innings to spare, at Brighton, on Friday, Sussex failing to put their opponents in a second time by 28 runs. The wicket was by no means up to the high standard usually found on the Sussex County Ground, and the home team were placed at a serious disadvan­ tage in having to take the field first. When Shrewsbury, who opened the batting with Scot­ ton on Thursday, was out the fourth wicket at 112, the Sussex men had done fairly well so far. Flowers, however, lent Barnes, who, having missed the train, did not arrive till late, very useful assistance, and the two bats­ men added 50 runs for the sixth wicket. Shaeklock and Mee also showed to advantage later on, and after all the innings did not close until a quarter to six o’clock, when the telegraph board showed 269. Barnes should have been caught at the wicket when he had only got a single, but when he settled down he played in his best form. He was in while 126 runs were added to the total. Jesse Hide took seven of the ten wickets at an average of under 11 runs, a capital performance. Sussex, who had on Thursday night scored 43 for the loss of one of their best batsmen, Quaife, were unable to show to any advantage on Friday. The ground, indeed, favoured the bowlers so much that by twenty minutes to six o’clock nine­ teen Sussex wickets had fallen for an aggregate of 198 runs. Mr. Newham played the excellent bowling of Richardson and Attewell with confidence on Friday morning, but none of the others stayed long, and the nine wickets left in the first innings fell for an addition of 78 runs. Richardson, a most effective bowler under such circum­ stances, found the wicket exactly to his liking, and, as will be seen, he had a splendid analysis, having bowled 46 overs and two balls for 42 runs and seven wickets. At the end of an innings Sussex were 148 to the bad, and in the follow-on the only noteworthy feature was the vigorous hitting of Jesse Hide and Mr. Dudney. The former’s 29 was made up of six fours, a three and atwo, while the amateur’s24 consisted of five fours, three from one over of Shacklock, a three, and a single. Attewell was this time the most successful bowler, dismissing five batsmen at a cost of twenty-three runs. Of the thirty Sussex wickets twenty were caught, seventeen behind the wicket. Sherwin was in remarkable form behind the stumps, getting five wickets from catches, one from stumping, and one from a run out. In the absence of Mr. J. A. Dixon, he acted as captain of the Notts Eleven. N o t t s . Shrewsbury, c Mayes, b J. Hide.............;. 53 Scotton, b J. Hide... 20 Gunn, b J. Hide ... 16 Mr. H. B. Daft, c A.

Though they made a plucky effort towards the close, the Yorkshire eleven were not able to recover from the bad start they made at Gloucester, in this match, begun at Gloucester on Thursday, and were beaten on Saturday afternoon by 92 runs. Preston who has not been able to play this year, owing to a strain, was able to help Yorkshire, while Gloucester­ shire, though without Mr. Radcliffe, was materially strengthened by the addition of Messrs. Pullen and Page as well as by Mr. E. M. Grace, who has also been an absentee lately in consequence of a strain. Gloucester­ shire, winning the toss, commenced well, the brothers Grace making 91 runs in just under the hour for the first wicket. Messrs. Brain and Pullen subsequently played ex­ cellent cricket, but the later batsmen did very little against Whitehead’s bowling. The colt did a very creditable performance, getting five wickets in eighteen overs at a cost of only
