Cricket 1889

JULY 25 1889. CBICKET A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 279 NOTTS v. KENT. The Nottinghamshire Eleven added another to their sequence ofoneinnings’viotoriesin first- class matohes this season, at Nottingham, on Fridav,when theygained a decisivevictory over Kent. The Southerners had not quite their full strength, but Notts was an equal sufferer,losing the valuable services of that great batsman Shrewsbury,who was still unable to play,owing to his sprained wrist. Though Notts won the toss, the start was not a very favourable one, Wright getting rid of Mr. Dixon and Sootton without muoh trouble. The second wioket fell at 40, but Gunn and Barnes followed up their many brilliant performances of the year with another fine exhibition, and 121 runs had been added before the latter was out. He had scored 60 in just over an hour and ahalf with­ out a mistake of any kind. Gunn was in altogether two hours and twenty minutes, and with the exoeption of a difficult chance to cover-point, when he had made 51, his innings was also free from errors. Flowers, Attewell, Shaoklook and Butler all subsequently showed up well against the good bowling and fielding of Kent, and the tenth wicket did not fall until nearly six o’clock. Kent, who had at the end of the first day scored 8 without the loss of a wicket, fared badly on Friday, and except for the free hitting of Mr. Marohant and the good cricket of Messrs. Rashleigh and Wilson, the first innings did not present any note­ worthy features. The wicket on the second day helped the bowlers to some extent, and the Kent Eleven, who had to follow on in a minority of 162 runs, had to play an uphill game. The all-round oricket of Notts, though, was far too good to allow them any opportunities, and though Messrs. Rashleigli and Wilson, particularly the latter, who played faultless cricket each time, offered some resistance, Notts had too much in hand and won in the end by an innings and and 43 runs. This makes tbeir sixth successive win in first- class matohes by more than an innings, an extraordinary and unprecedented record. Shaoklook, who has been bowling with great success this year, again contributed in a great measure to the victory of his side. He was credited with nine Kent wickets at an average of exactly 11 runs.

Though no less than 79 runs behind on the first innings in this match, begun at Hudders­ field on Thursday, the Lancashire eleven played up so pluckily that when the game ended at 4.80 on the following afternoon, they were able to claim a most creditable victory with only 3 runs to spare. The wicket had not thoroughly recovered from recent rains, and Ulyett and Peel, Mold and Briggs bowled with such success that when play ceased on Thursday night, twenty-four wickets had fallen for an aggregate of 263 runs. The two highest scores were both by Yorkshiremen, Lord Hawke and Lee, who together made 13 more than the Lancashire eleven. Lee was in an hour for 42 without a mistake, but Lord Hawke, though he hit in fine style for his 62 not out, which included a square leg-hit out of the ground for six, was fortunate enough to have a life early in his innings, being missed at short-slip when he had only got 4. Lanca­ shire after being 79 behind lost four of their best batsmen for 22 when they went in again, during the short time that remained on Thursday. When play began on Friday they still wanted 57 to avert an innings’ defeat, but Briggs, who hit in his best style, F. Ward and Baker played up so well that 131 runs were added by the six remaining wickets. Briggs, who made 41 out of 62 while in, and Frank Ward added 51 while they were together, and their partnership changed the whole aspect of the game. Ward, though, was lucky enough to be let off in the slips by Wainwright—a serious mistake forYorkshire, as events proved. Though with only 76 wanted to win, Yorkshire made such a disastrous start that in twenty overs, ten of them maidens to Watson, four of the best batsmen, Wade, Hall, Lee and Ulyett, had been dismissed by Mold for a total of only 9 runs. Lord Hawke and Moorhouse, too, gave little trouble, and with six wiekets down for 24, Yorkshire’s chances seemed to be of the smallest. Peel, however, found a reliable partner in Wainwright, but the former was unlucky enough to slip down while making a run, and his dismissal (a most unfortunate thing for the side) turned the scale again in favour of Lancashire. Some fine hitting by Wainwright raised Yorkshire’s hopes once more, but at 63 he was caught, and when Whitehead was bowled the ninth wicket, three runs were still wanted to tie. Middlebrook, the last man, failed to score, and when he was caught, Lancashire were left with a brilliant victory, the result of excellent all-round cricket, by 3 runs. The two fast bowlers, Ulyett and Mold, it will be seen, met with extraordinary success. Their averages, too, were very equal, Ulyett’s twelve wickets for Yorkshire costing 102, Mold’s thirteen for Lancashire 111 runs. L ancash ibb . First Innings. Mr. J.

Staffordshire won this match, played at Stockport on Friday and Saturday, with six wickets to spare. Rain fell heavily on Saturday morning, and on the slow wicket Briscoe’s bowling was very successful. In Cheshire’s second innings, he took six wickets for 23 runs. Mr. Calkin’s three wickets in the first cost only 7 runs. C h e s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. R. C. Farbridge, Briscoe ...............
