164 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 5, 1890. S U R R E Y v. G L O U C E S T E R S H IR E . T h e G loucestershire eleven to oppose S u rrey at the O val at the end of last w eek, w ith M essrs. B ra in , Page, P u lle n , and Tow nsend, as w e ll as W oof, a ll absent, w as on ly a moderate one. In addition, M r. W . G . G race, ow ing to an in ju ry to h is knee, was unable to b o w l; and, to m ake m atters worse, th ey were unfortunate enough to lose the toss. W ith the little bow ling th ey had th is w as m ost u n ­ fortunate, and feurrey profited by the oppor­ tu n ity su fficien tly to stop in till the second m orning. On T h u rsd ay the d uration of actual p lay w as five h o u rs and tw en ty m inutes, and, as d uring th is tim e S u rre y made 448 for eight w ickets, it w ill be seen th at th ey scored at an average of over 80 ru n s an hour. T h e earlier batsm en were not seen to an y great advantage, and though M r. Read and h is nam esake both played good free cricket, w hen the fifth w icket fe ll the to tal w as only 198. M aurice R ead, who continued to h it in b rillia n t style, how ever, found a p artn er e xactly to h is taste in Lo h m an n , and the p air put on 100 ru n s in e xactly an hour. R ead's ve ry fine in n in g s was brought to a close w ith the to tal at 345. H e w as in three hours and ten m inutes, and contributed 185 out of 281 got d u rin g h is stay. H e gave a chance in the long-field w hen he had made 118, but th is was the on ly m istake to m ar an excep tio nally b rillia n t d isplay of h ittin g . H is figures con­ sisted of eighteen 4’s, seven 3’s, seven 2’s, and tw en ty-eig h t singles. A fte r the d ism issal of Read and Lo hm an n , Lockw ood and Wood also punished the worn-out bow ling of G loucester­ shire to some tune, and th ey raised the total from 345 to 445, scoring sin g u larly enough 100 for the eighth,the same as R ead and Lo hm an n for the sixth w icket. Lockw ood and Wood both h it fre e ly all round, and the form er, who w as not out u n til F rid a y m orning, showed p a rticu la rly good cricket fo r h is 65. A heavy ra in fa ll d uring T h u rsd ay n ig h t did not im ­ prove G loucestershire’s chances, t u t although the b all got up occasionally, the w icke t w as not so m uch affected as m ig h t have been e x­ pected. S u rre y’s in ning s w as soon completed on F rid a y , and as the tw o rem aining w ickets only added 16, G loucestershire had to go in against a total of 464. T h e start, too, w as not a prom ising one, as the score was 39 w ith both M essrs. R ad cliffe and F ra n c is out. W hen Pain ter cam e in , how ever, to jo in M r. C ranston, the S u rre y bowlers had a bad tim e of it . H e h it a ll round w ith rem arkable vig o ur, and before he w as out 89 had been added in fifty m inutes. O f these P a in te r had made 65 by some of the best tim ed h ittin g we have seen for a long tim e, and w itho ut a m is­ take. A fte r h is departure, things w en t badly for a tim e, but M r. Cranston, who had been batting w ith great care from the first, found at the last a valuable a lly in M r. B u sh , and in an hour and tw enty m inutes 66 were added for the ten th w icket. M r. C ranston w ent in first w icket dow n, w ith the score at 22 , and was not out w hen the inning s closed. H e w as batting four hours, and to the best of our belief, gave no chance. He h a rd ly indeed m ade a bad stroke, and h is altogether w atch fu l play w as w o rth y of the highest p raise. Going in a second tim e, in a m in o rity of 226, G loucester­ sh ire fared so badly against Sharpe’s bow ling th at in the fo rty m inutes th at rem ained on F rid a y th ey lost five w ickets for 27 ru n s. T h e y only fared a little better, too, on S a tu r­ day, and in an hour and tw en ty m inutes the m atch w as over, leaving S u rre y w ith an easy v icto ry b y an inning s and 152 runs. Sharpe’s bow ling w as the great feature of the m atch. A ltogether he took fourteen w ickets at a cost of 87 ru n s, a rem arkable perform ance on such a w icket. S u rrey .

Y O R K S H IR E . T h e U n iv e rs ity eleven did an excellent per­ form ance at Cam bridge at the end of last w eek, defeating Y o rk sh ire on Satu rd ay, after three days of good cricket, by nine w ickets. M r. Woods, the cap tain, was s till prevented from assisting Cam bridge, and th e ir victory, w ith th e ir best bow ler aw ay, w as of the greater m e rit. M r. W . F . W h itw e ll took the place of W ain w rig h t, who was unable to p lay owing to an in ju ry to h is hand, but otherw ise Y o rk sh ire had the eleven w h ich defeated the A u stralian s e arlier in the week. T h e Yo rksh irem en were lu ck y enough to bat first, and w h ile U lyett and Le e were together 80 was up w ith only one batsm an (H a ll) out. Th e early promise w as, though, not m aintained, as but five of the eleven got double figures, and w hen the tenth wioket fell the total was only 193. U ly e tt’s 51 w as the highest score, but it w as m arred by a chanoe in the slips at 23. Peel, though, made no m is­ take of an y kin d , and h is 37 was an adm irable d isplay of steady cricke t. W hen Cam bridge went in some excellent batting w as witnessed, and M essrs. Douglas and Fo ley w ere seen to such advantage th at 98 had been scored before the first w icket fell. A fter th e ir separa tio n , though, the bowlers had, in th e ir turn, the best of it, and at the end of the first day the total was 108 for the loss of four w ickets. M r. D ouglas’s 72 w as a p articu la rly sound, as w ell as attractive, inn in g s. H e ought to have been caught when he had got 64, but th is was h is only m istake, and as an instance of his freedom, it m ay be added th at h is figures included thirteen 4’s. The early p art of F rid a y ’s p lay did not forebode a long innings for Cam bridge, and the only feature for a tim e was a faultless score by M r. Jephson, who was in n early two hours for h is 37. T h e last two batsm en, Messrs. Streatfeild and H ill, however, introduced more sp irit into the game, and so w ell did both h it, w ith some lu ck, that in an hour and a quarter the total w as increased by 101 runs. Going in a second tim e, w ith a dead w eight of 136 runs against them , the Yo rkshirem en g enerally fared badly against the bow ling of M essrs. Jackson and Streatfeild , and w hen the second day ended they s till w anted 13 runs to reach the Cam bridge score. Le e , who w as not out 56, after a ve ry fine d isplay of cricket! on F rid a y , w as soon caught at the w icket on the follow ing m orning, and as M r. Jackson q u ickly got rid of the rem aining batsm en, the innings closed for an addition of only 23 ru n s. T h is le ft the U n iv e rsity w ith 14 to w in , and as they were not able to get them w ithout the los of one batsm en, th ey had nine w ickets in hand at the fin ish . M r. Jackso n ’s bow ling was a ve ry im portant factor in th is success. In the two inning s of Y o rk sh ire he was credited w ith tw elve w ickets at an average cost of under ten runs. Y o rkshire .

A fte r having a ll the w orst of M onday’s play at D erb y, the S u rre y eleven played up so p lu ck ily th at D erbysh ire were beaten, though on ly by the bare m argin of 29 ru n s. M essrs. J . Sh u ter and W . W . Read were both p laying for M .C .C . and G . against the A u stralian s at L o rd ’s, and M r. K e y w as also standing out. M aurice Read, ow ing to a sprained foot, too, had to telegraph fo r a substitute on M onday m orning, and as B ow ley did not a rrive in tim e to take p art in the game on the firs t day, S u rre y had only ten men to bat. In addition, owing to a strained shoulder, Lo hm an n was unable to bowl in D e rb ysh ire ’s first in n in g s, so th at it w as, perhaps, h a rd ly a surprise
