Cricket 1889

AUG. 1, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 295 began on Friday morning Lancashire were 21 on, with eight wickets in hand, but Barlow was, unfortunately, run ou<5 when he was thoroughly set, and Paul and Mold both threw their wickets away in the same way, a triple mistake whioh had a very important effect on the result of the match. Though Gloucestershire had only 87 to get to win, it was by no means an easy task, and with four of the most reliable batsmen, including Mr. W. G. Grace, out with the total only 26, their chances were not of the most hopefal. When the seventh wicket fell at 67 Larcashire looked to have the best of the game, but Mr. E. M. Grace, who had been held in reserve, found a useful partner in Mr. Croome at the crisis and this pair remained together in spite of the brilliant out-crioket of Lancashire. While both batsmen played with great judgment, they never lost an opportunity of scoring, and as the 28 runs still wanted were got by them Gloucestershire were able to claim a most creditable victory with three wickets to spare. Their success was due in no small degree to the effective bowling of W oof and Roberts. The former took nine wickets for 91, the latter eight for 65. Pilling, it will be seen, caught three of the seven batsmen out in Gloucestershire’s second innings at the wicket. L a n c a sh ir e . Second Innings, runout .........28 c W.

Briggs, who was top scorer with 82, also took twenty- one wickets for 60 runs. SURREY v.*SUSSEX. The Surrey eleven had a much easier win in their return match with Sussex, played at Kennington Oval on Monday and Tuesday, than in the previous meeting, when they were only successful with three wiokets to spare. The wicket, though a trifle slow at the outset, was never difficult, and Sussex, who won the toss, did badly to get out for a small total of 111. Bean, who batted with great freedom, made 43 of the first fifty-three in forty-five minutes, but Bowley, who was not put on till 53 had been made, and Lohmann proved too good for the remaining batsmen, and the last eight wickets were all dismissed for an addition of 58, Bowley’s five wickets only costing 22 runs. Bean was very finely caught with one hand at short slip, and Humphreys also fell to a most brilliant one-handed running catch in the long field. Mr. Shuter and Abel, who opened the batting for Surrey, were in their best form, and 104 had been made in just about the same number of minutes when the former was stumped for 55, got in his smartest and most attractive style. Abel, who was batting two hours and twenty minutes, made 61 out of the first 133 by very steady cricket, and at the end of the day Lockwood helped Mr. Read, who had been playing with great confidence and judgment, to raise the total from 173 to 207. Resuming on Tuesday morning, Mr. Read and Lockwood cansed several changes of bowling, and 106 had been added for the seventh wicket when Mr. Read—trying to get a ball of Bean’s round—was caught at mid-on. He had made 87 in three hours without, as far as we saw, anything like a chance, and his play was throughout up to his very best form. Lock­ wood, who had batted extremely well, was run out after making 48, but he was not the last to give trouble, 44 being added chiefly through the free hitting of Wood before the innings closed. Wanting 215 to avert an innings defeat, Sussex again scored badly, Major a second time failing to get a run. As before, though, Mr. Newham and Bean offered a determined resistance, and, as the wioket was in excellent condition, there was just a chance of a long outing for Surrey. The dis­ missal of Bean who was leg before to a “ lob,” after a well got 25, however, gave them the separation wanted, and, after Mr. Newham, who had been over an hour and a half for his 47, was caught at the wicket, the end soon came. Beaumont’s appearance at the pavilion end proved to be the turning point, and though Arthur Hide made a few good hits, the innings was quickly terminated, Beaumont taking four wickets at a cost of only 11 runs.

After making a good fight during the earlier part of the game at Derby on Monday, the Derbyshire eleven broke down, and their opponents were able to claim soon after lun­ cheon on Tuesday their seventh victory of the season by more than an innings. The wicket, although a little slow at the outset from recent rains, was by no means difficult. Still, though Derbyshire won the toss, they only made a poor show against Attewell’ ? bowling, and the only noteworthy feature of the innings was the excellent performance of Mr. Wright. Going in first, he was not out at the finish, having scored 54 out of 92 from the bat in two hours and fifty minutes. Although he gave more than one chance, his performance against such good bowling as that of Attewell, Shacklock and Richardson, was one worthy of very high praise. When Notts went in, Scotton was soon dismissed,and though Shrews­ bury, who owing to an injury to his wrist had not been able to play since the match between Gentlemen and Players at the Oval, and Gunn for a time played in their best form, the total was only seventy when the fifth wicket fell. Some good hitting by Flowers and Shacklock, however, improved matters considerably for Notts, and at the end of the day the score had been raised to 140 for seven wickets. Attewell and Shacklock, the not outs, gave the Derbyshire bowlers a lot more trouble on Tuesday morning, and Ibrty-three were added before the innings olosed. Though Derbyshire had only 86 to save the innings, when they went in a second time, they made a very poor show against the bowling of Attewell and Richardson. Chat- terton’s 12 was the highest score on the side, and when the tenth wicket fell for 60, Notts were left with an easy victory by an innings and 26 runs. Attewell and Richardson bowled unchanged in Derbyshire’s second innings. The former had extraordinarily good figuies in the match, taking eleven wickets for only 59 runs. D e r b y sh ir e .
