Cricket 1889

SEPT. 26, 1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 427 THE BOW LERS . In the bowling the professionals are as usual seen to the greatest advantage. Attewell and Briggs have the best figures, but it must not be forgotten that Lohmann did an immense amount of work during the season. The Surrey bowler, indeed, is the only one who has secured over [two hundred wickets in the year, and he is fully entitled to a place quite in the front rank. Of the rest, Mold was remarkably successful on his first appearance in important matches, and his record is a very fine one. Watson, Richardson and Walter Wright all bowled well throughout the season, as did Peel, who, though less successful than in 1887, had an immense amount of bowling to do for Yorkshire, and, on the whole, comes out well, being extra­ ordinarily effective on several very important occasions. Martin, Flowers, and Shacklock, it will be noticed, too, have all creditable records. Of the younger men, Wainwright and Whitehead, of Yorkshire, and Sharpe, of Surrey, to judge by results, appear to be of the most promise. BOWLING AVERAGES. Overs. Mdns. Runs. Wkts. Aver.

A correspondent, in sending us particulars of the chief wicket-keepers of the year, writes as follows “ I herewith enclose two tables of averages, showing the doings of most of our best wicket-keepers in the best matches of the season. You will notice that it is almost im­ possible to make one table, as, in order to see their respective merits, you must find out how many byes they have allowed in proportion to the number of runs made, and also how many batsmen they have ‘ snapped up ’ or stumped in a certain number of innings. These two clearly cannot be blended to bring out a single table of satisfactory averages. Hunter seems to have kept wicket more than any other, and next tohim in respect of number of runs Mr. H. Philipson, who, in playing for Oxford, had several very long outings. In addition, I may mention that in the general averages for the season only the following appear as having a batting average of over 10 runs : namely—Mr. Philipson 19.4, Mr. Kemp 15.8, Wood 12.7.
