Cricket 1889

818 CBICKET : A WEEKLY BECOBD OF THE GAME. AUG. 8, 1889. YORESHIEE v. DERBYSHIRE. Bain prevented any play in this match, fixed for the first three days of the week at Sheffield, except on Monday, and even then the game was interrupted several times by showers. Derbyshire, who won the toss, played a Colt named Charles Evans, of Sheep- tridge, near Chesterfield, in place of Holme, and considering that it was his first trial in a good match, he played well, making 47 out of the first 65 in an hour by good free cricket. Mr. Wright and Chatterton also hit well, and chiefly through their efforts the score had reached 164 for six wickets when rain stopped play, which had only lasted two hours anda quarter, for the day. Mr.Spofforth, it will be seen, was playing for Derbyshire by permission of the Yorkshire Committee. D er bysh ir e . Mr. L. G. Wright,hw, Mr. W. S.

Heavy rain limited the play in this match at Manchester on Monday to twenty minutes, and as a commencement was not possible until past two o’clock on Tuesday, there was no chance of completing the fixture, which was only made for two days. The Cheshire bats ■ men could do little with the bowling of Briggs and Watson, who bowled unchanged, and were all out for 77. When play ceased on Tuesday Lancashire had just completed their innings for 184, so that they had the best of the draw, being 67 ahead so far as the game went. Mr. Bretherton took five Lancashire wickets for 40 runs. C h e sh ir e . Mr. R. L. Crankshaw, b Watson ......... 4 Wright, b Watson ... 16 Davenport, c Ward, b Briggs ................ 1 Mr. J. D.

After three days of interesting cricket the Surrey eleven succeeded in gaining a brilliant victory over the so far this year invincible team of Notts yesterday, at the Oval. The success was one, too, on which they have good reason to congratulate themselves, for the double reason that Notts, who have not been beaten before this season, had their best eleven, while they had to enlist Sharpe as a substitute for Maurice Read, who could not play in consequence of a bad hand. Owing to the heavy rain of Sunday night and follow­ ing morning, the choice of innings was of considerable importance, and Surrey’s sup­ porters were jubilant when it was found that the Nottinghamshire eleven were taking the field. Shacklock and Richardson started the bowling, and with only six up, a fine catch by Attewell in the slips dismissed Abel, who had opened the batting with Mr. Shuter. Just before one o’olock, a heavy downpour stopped play, and it was nearly half-past three before a resumption wasmade. The recommencement was attended with bad luck for Surrey, as Messrs. Key and Shuter were soon dismissed, the third wicket fallingwith the total 86. Mr. Read and Lockwood played good cricket, and the total was raised to 60 before the young professional was caught at the wicket. Mr. Read, after an excellent innings of 36, was bowled, and Lohmann followed, only to be caught at mid-off. Six wickets were down for 87 when Wood joined Henderson, but the former hit all round with great freedom, and when rain stopped play for the day the score was 122 for six wickets, Wood not out, 28, Henderson not out, 12. Wood continued to bat in good form on Tuesday morning, and when he was out the ninth wicket the tele­ graph showed 153. Wood was missed on Monday night by Barnes high up at short- slip, but he gave no other chance, and his 49 was a plucky and most invaluable display of cricket. The last two batsmen, Beaumont and Bowley, made a useful stand, too, and the innings did not close until 1.45 on Tuesday for 172, a very respectable total under the circumstances. When Notts went in Mr. Daft was soon bowled, and there was great cheering when Shrewsbury pulled a ball on to his wicket at 33. Gunn and Barnes were together at luncheon, and when play was re­ sumed at 3.30, after a heavy shower, the two first ball* by Lohmann dismissed Barnes and Flowers. Scotton was caught in the slips at 72, and after Gunn had been caught at mid- off at 81, two successive balls got rid of Atte­ well and Shacklock. Six runs were wanted to save the follow-on w’hen Riohardson the tenth man joined Mr. Dixon, but the latter scored freely, and the score was 111 when Richard­ son was oaught at the wicket. Sherwin, the last man gave an easy chance at mid-off directly he came in, but it was not taken, and Surrey f suffered for the mistake. Mr. Dixon continued to bat with freedom, and the last wicket put on 48 runs. Mr. Dixon ought to have been caught at long-off soon after his arrival, and twice subsequently gave difficult chances. Still his 59 was a fine display of plucky, confident batting, and worthy of the highest praise. Lockwood and Abel, who had made 21 with­ out a wicket for Surrey on Tuesday night, were both seen to the greatest advantage yes­ terday morning, ana in spite of frequent changes the pair put on runs rapidly. There was great cheering when the hundred appeared, and forty more were added before Lockwood was given out leg before. He had made83out of 140without,as far aswe could see, an actual chance, and his hitting particularly to leg was very clean and well timed. It was, indeed, a brilliant performance for a voungster, and he was deservedly cheered on his retirement. Abel, who had played in his best form for his 59, followed at 149, and then things took an unfavourable turn for Surrey, Mr. Key, Mr. Shuter and Lohmann all falling in quick succession. At luncheon, the total was 184for six wickets, and on the resumption, afterBowleyhad bygoodhittingraised thescore to 205, Mr.Shuterterminatedhis innings,in the hope of getting his opponents out in the three hours that would remain for play. Notts, who wanted 219 to win, began their second innings at 8.25, with Mr. Daft and Shrewsbury, to the bowling of Lohmann and Bowley, and it soon became evident that there would be an exciting finish. Lohmann was able to get a lot of work on the ball, and when Gunn was out the second wicket at 23, it was felt that Surrey had a good chance of a victory. Barnes, though at first by no means at home, however, lent Shrewsbury, who had been let off at the wicket, useful help, and while these two were together things looked more favourable for Notts. At 63, however, both were dismissed, and after this Lohmann and Beaumont bowled with such success that no stand was made. Neither Mr. Dixon nor Shacklock played at the balls which bowled them, and as the last seven wiokets only added 21 runs the end soon came, Surrey winning just before six o’olock by 134 runs. Lohmann's bowling yesterday was altogether too much for the Nottingham batsmen, and, helped by the ground, he beat them com­ pletely. He took six wickets at a cost of 22 runs, and it was his bowling which won Surrey the match quite as much as the bat­ ting of Lockwood and Abel. There was great and prolonged cheering when the game was over, and some time elapsed before the ex­ citement subsided. A collection was made on the ground for Lockwood and Abel, and a sum of £42 was subscribed for division be­ tween them. On the first day, in spite of the wet weather, 20,863 paid at the gate, on Tues­ day 16,420, and yesterday 12,652, making a total of 49,935, some 670 less than were re­ corded in the same match of 1887, the best on record we believe.
