Cricket 1889

844 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 22, 1889. YORKSHIRE v . MIDDLESEX. The rain which prevailed throughout Eng­ land last week not only prejudiced the cricket considerably in this return matoh, begun at Halifax on Thursday, but brought the game to a premature dose, the heavy downpour on Friday night and the early morning of Satur­ day preventing any play on the third day. Though the pitch at the commencement was slow, Lord Hawke decided to go in with Hall, the pair having to face the bowling of Messrs. Bacmeister and Ifepean. Four wickets were down for 3Gwhen Wainwright joined Ulyett, and their stand, an invaluable one, was the feature of the innings. The pair added 80 runs in an hour and a quarter, and both played excellent cricket, Ulyett’s 46 being in every way up to his best standard. The only other batting worthy of praise was that of Browne, whose 23 were got in thoroughly good style. Seven bowlers were tried, ana of these Mr. Nepean, whose five wickets were obtained at a cost of 44 runs, was by far the most successful. Middlesex were left with an hour for batting on Thursday night, and during that time lost three of their best rungetters for 57, of whioh Mr. Webbe, who was not out, had contributed 29. On Friday morning the Middle*ex captain failed to increase his score, and Peel and Wainwright, helped by the ground, bowled with such success that the last seven wickets were sccured for an addition of 48 runs. Peel’s figures, as will be seen, were excellent. He delivered 139 balls for 36 runs and five wickets. Yorkshire entered on their second innings at one o’clock on Friday with a useful advantage of 43 runs, but again started badly, four of the eleven being out at luncheon time with the total only 48. As in the previous innings, Wainwright was seen to great advantage, but none of the rest, except Lord Hawke, who hit Burton once out of the ground for six, got more than 11, and at 3.45 Yorkshire’s second innings was over for 90. This left Middlesex with 134 to win, and when rain stopped play for the day 22 of them had been got in thirty-five minutes at a sacrifice of one of the most dangerous batsmen ^Mr. Stoddart). As Middlesex on Friday night were left with 112 runs to win and nine wickets to fall, there seemed to be a chance of an interesting finish on the following day. As it was, however, heavy rain had made the ground so unfit that, though the captains waited until two o’clock in the afternoon in the hope of a resumption, no play was possible, and the game had to be abandoned.

The Warwickshire eleven, who have shown excellent all-round cricket this season, added another victory to their list at Taunton on Friday, when they defeated Somersetshire for the second time. Though they won the toss, Warwickshire did not start well, losing two of their best batsmen for only 28 runs, A deter­ mined stand by Law and Mr. Docker, however, altered the appearance of the game altogether, and to a great extent influenced the result. The two batsmen added 126 for the third wicket, and their joint scores represented 182 out of 233 made from the bat. Though batting in a bad light on Thursday afternoon Somer­ setshire did well, having scored 107 with only four wickets down when play ceased on Thursday. Mr. Hewett, who was not out 59, however, failed to add a run on Friday, and such a collapse took place subsequently, in face of the bowling of Shilton and Pallett, that sixteen Somersetshire wickets fell for 163, or an average of under ten runs from the bat. Left with twenty to win, Warwickshire lost one batsman before the number was got, thus winning with nine wickets to spare. Pallett took thirteen Somersetshire wickets for 144 runs.

The Sussex eleven, who have fared very badly all through the season, were again seen to disadvantage on Thursday and Friday last, at Brighton, on the occasion of their re­ turn match with Kent. They were unlucky in losing the toss, but still did fairly well at the outset, the score when half the Kent wickets were down being only 109. Mr. Mar­ chant, who in the previous match h ad scored 176, once more, though, showed his partiality for Sussex bowling, and his brilliant all­ round hitting was the feature of the Kent bat­ ting. He might have been caught at the wicket when he had got 14, but with this ex­ ception there was no flaw in his score of 86. He was only in an hour for his runs, and there were as many as sixteen fours in his figures. A better exhibition of clean, hard, all-round hitting has not been seen for a long time. When Sussex went in to bat, Martin ana Wright bowled with suoh success that four of the best batsmen were out for only 9 runs, and when the game was suspended on Thursday night the score showed 51 for the loss of seven wickets. Mr. McCormick, who was not out 18, added 6 more on the following morning, and as the three last batsmen were fairly suc­ cessful, the total was raised to 97 befere the innings closed. Following on in a minority of 161, Sussex were again seen to disadvantage, and it was only the free hitting of Arthur Hide at the finish that enabled them to im­ prove on their first total. Hide, indeed, proved to be the highest scorer on the Sussex side, making 43 for only once out. Kent won by an innings and 38 runs. Martin and Wright bowled unchanged in the first innings of Sussex. In the match, altogether, the latter took eight wickets for 67 runs. Mr. Hartley-Smith, of Lancing, kept wicket for Sussex. K e n t . Mr. W. H. Patterson, run out ..................37 F. Hearne, b J.
