Cricket 1889

250 CBICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 11, 1889. GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS. T hb L o r d ’ s M a tc h . The good luck which fell to the Gentlemen at the Oval in winning the toss was lacking in the second of the two matches, begun at Lord’s on Monday, and as heavy rain fell in the evening after a long score by the Players, the latter had things so much in their favour that the result was never in doubt. Messrs* A. G. Steel and Key, as well as Briggs, who were all unable to play in the first fixture, took part in the return, but there were other changes in the two elevens which had ap­ peared at the Oval, Messrs. Steel, Key, A. P. Lucas and F. G. J. Ford taking the places of Messrs. W. W. Read, who was not able to assist, Cranston, Bishop and Newham, and Briggs, Shacklock, Attewell, Chatterton and Flowers of Richardson, Quaife,Wright, Ulyett and Shrewsbury, the last of whom had injured his wrist at the Oval. Sherwin, who acted as captain of the Players, having won the toss, sent in Abel and Gunn, the two Cantabs, Messrs. Woods and Ford, sharing the boiling of the Gentlemen. Gunn, the hero of the Oval match, after making 12 out of 13, was bowled, and Barnes, who is in most brilliant form this season, had only helped Abel to add 14 before rain stopped play. The game was not resumed till after luncheon, and then 61 runs were added before Mr. Steel bowled Abel for a very good innings of 61. Chatterton and Peel were soon dismissed, and when Briggs was caught in the long-field five of the best batsmen were out with the total only 139. Soon after Flowers’ arrival, Barnes, who had then got 67, was badly missed at long-slip by Mr. Steel from Mr. Woods, and the mistake proved a serious one. Flowers and Lohmann gave useful assistance to Barnes, who con­ tinued to score freely from all the bowling, and when play ceased on Monday night the score was 269 for eight wickets, Barnes not out 126. Shacklock and Sherwin gave the Gentlemen no trouble on Tuesday morning, and Barnes carried out his bat, having scored 130 of the total of 280. Though he gave two chances, his innings was one of very great merit, particularly as the light on Monday afternoon was far from good. Going in first wicket down at 13, he made 130 out of 267 got during his stay. He played all the bowlers with equal judgment and confidence during the three hours and fifty minutes he was in. His score is, with the exception of T. Hay­ ward’s 132 in 1860, the highest made for the Players at Lord’s. The heavy rain of Monday night had affected the ground considerably when play was resumed on Tuesday morning, and the Gentlemen found Briggs ana Lohmann so difficult that at luncheon seven of the best wickets had fallen for 97 runs. Mr. Grace played with great judgment, but no one else was thoroughly at home, and the only real ex­ citement was at the finish. The last wicket indeed added 28 runs, and Mr. Woods, who laid on with great vigour, carried out his bat for 24, including three hits for four from one over of Briggs. The Gentlemen, who were in a minority of 132, went in again just before half past; four on Tuesday, and Briggs and Lohmann, who had bowled unchanged through the first innings, proved so effective in the follow-on that when the sixth wicket fell the total was only 62. Messrs. Steel and Dixon, however, played good cricket, and during their partnership the only change of the match in the bowling of the Players took place. Shacklock relieved Lohmann at 97, and the new bowler soon got rid of Mr. Dixon, who had been in an hour, scoring 14 out of 64. Just after the innings had been saved, Mr. Steel was bowled, having been in an hour and twenty minutes for his 46, an invaluable innings and one quite up to his best form. Abel and Gunn got the six runs wanted by the Players to win in eight balls and the Players were left, just after half-past five o’clock, with an easy victory by ten wickets. On the first day, 4,229 paid the sixpence charged for admission on the ground, and on the second 8,198, the latter an excellent attendance con­ sidering the doubtful state of the weather.

YORKSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. The ground of the Bradford Club is always in such a favourable state for run getting, that it will surprise nobody to learn that the return match between these Counties, begun on Mon­ day, and limited as it was to two days, ended in a draw. On the second day rain caused a considerable reduction even in the short time allowed for play, and there was never any chance of a definite result. In fact, as will be seen, only fifteen wickets fell in tho two days and the aggregate of 690 gave an average of exactly forty-six runs. Yorkshire was with­ out Peel, who was representing the Players at Lord’s, and his place was taken by a Colt, Brown of Driffield. On the other hand, though Pougher, who had been unable to play owing to a strain for the last month, and Mr. J. A. Turner were in the Leicestershire eleven, room was found for two Colts, Mr. J. Atter and James Warren, brother of T. War­ ren, both of whom appeared in County cricket for the first time. Leicestershire winning the toss were batting until five o’clock on Monday for a total of 313. Wheeler and T. Warren made 90 for the first wicket, and Mr. Turner, who hit very hard, scored 41 of 64 got for the second. Five wickets were down for 197, but Tomlin and Mr. Atter made another, stand and the pair scoring fast added 75 runs in forty-five minutes. The innings ultimately closed for the very respectable total of 313, Middlebrook having taken seven of the ten wickets at a cost of only 49 runs. Yorkshire had made 63runs for the loss of Ulyett’s wicket on Monday night, and on Tuesday, handi­ capped by a wet ball and slippery ground, Leicestershire fared so badly that when play ceased at 6.30 only half the Yorkshire batsmen had been dismissed for a total of 377. The colt Brown was in an hour and fifty minutes for his 59, and his carefuljudicious batting was of great service. Wade andWainwright while theyjwere together added 135 and their innings were in different ways admirable exhibitions of batting. Wainwright hit all round freely, while Wade, whose first score of a hundred it was for Yorkshire, was in two hours and forty minutes for his 103 not out. L e ic e s t e r sh ir e . Y o r k sh ir e .
