Cricket 1889

AUG. 8, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. 311 KENT v. SURREY. The Surrey eleven had throughout the best of this match, begun on the ground of the Blackheath Club on Thursday, and were left the winners on Saturday with seven wickets to spare. Both sides were well represented, but in winning the toss Surrey had the best of the wicket, and all things considered, Kent did wtll under by no means the most favour­ able ciroumstances. The chief feature of the first innings of Surrey, who were at the wicket four hours and a quarter for their total of 252, was the stand of Messrs. Read and Key for the third wicket. Each of these two batsmen scored 79, and curiously the number they got jointly was the result of their partnership (158). Mr. Key, who was in two hours and twenty minutes, did not make a mistake of any kind, but Mr. Read ought to have been caught in the Jong-field when he had only got three, and also just before he was out. Later on, Wood and Henderson put on 45 runs, and the former’s 31 was an exceedingly useful and well-played innings. Mr. Fox was extraordinarily successful with the ball. When he went on, the total was 177 with only two batsmen out, and he took five of the last eight wickets at a cost of only 21 runs. Kent, who, when play ceased on Thursday, had lost one wicket for 26, finished their first innings for 164, of which 129 had been contributed by four batsmen, George and Frank Hearne, Messrs. Le Fleming and Fox. Frank Hearne was in an hour and a quarter for an exceedingly well-played 46, and Mr. Le Fleming, the well-known Rugby footballer and hurdle jumper, got his 80 in very creditable style. In a minority of 88 Kent had to follow 0n, and very badly they fared at first, losing Mr. Patterson, Frank and George Hearne for only 11 runs. Messrs, Marchant and Rash- leigh put on 53 runs, but none of the rest did very much, and, but for Mr. Marchant, the side would have made a poor show. Mr. Marchant’s 74 was a iemarkably fine display of cricket, considering that the wicket, which did not wear well, was by no means easy. He was batting for an hour and forty minutes, and, except for a chance to mid off when he had made 65, there was no flaw of any kind in his innings. Wanting 68 to win, Surrey had only ten minutes left for batting, and during that time Henderson and Lockwood made 8 runs without the loss of a wicket. Rain fell so heavily on Saturday morning, that for a time it seemed doubtful if the game could be continued. A stoppage at one o’clock, how­ ever, enabled Surrey to resume batting after luncheon, and the requisite number of 60were got for the loss of three batsmen, Henderson, Lookwood and Mr. Key, S u r r e y .

Chiefly through the brilliant all-round cricket of Mr. W. G. Grace, and the effective bowling of Woof, the Gloucestershire eleven were able to olaim a decisive victory in this return match, begun on Monday at Bristol, having forty runs and an innings in hand when the game ended on Tuesday. Rain prevented a commencement until an hour and a half after the usual hour, and when play did begin, Sussex, who had won the toss, made such a poor show that the last wicket fell with the total at 79. The innings only lasted an hour and a half, Woof and Mr. W. G. Grace, who equally divided the wickets, both bowling with great success, though it must be added the ground helped the ball to some extent. When Gloucestershire went in, Mr. Grace followed up his fine bowling performance with some very good batting. Going in first he scored 84 out of 143 runs, and his innings, which lasted just under two hours, was entirely free from a mistake. Mr. Townsend helped his captain to add 74 runs for the sixth wicket, but he was twice missed. Owing to rain a recommencement could not be made until a quarter to two o’clock on Tues­ day, and again Sussex fared badly, Mr. Page and Roberts, the last two batsmen, adding 30 runs—or 42 in all for the tenth wicket—before the innings closed. Wanting 122 runs to avoid an innings defeat, Sussex had no easy task before them under any circumstances, and as the ground, drying under the sun, was all against the batsmen, the result was never in any doubt. Mr. Newham and Jesse Hide put on 33 for the third wioket, but this was the only real stand of the innings, and, as on the previous day, Sussex were out in exactly an hour and a half, scoring three more than in their first innings. Helped by the ground Woof bowled with extraordinary success, taking seven of the ten wickets at a cost of only 25 runs. In the match altogether he took twelve wickets for an average of 5 runs, a very fine performance. S u sse x . First Innings. Second Innings. Quaife, lbw, b W.G. Grace 12 c Painter,bWoof 2 Bean, o W.
