Cricket 1890

19G C B IC K E T : A W EEK L Y RECORD OF THE GAME ; JUNE 19, 1890. SURREY v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Encouraged by two excellent performances against Yorkshire and the Australians, the Cambridge eleven came to the Oval on Thurs­ day last full of confidence to play their annual match with Surrey. Unfortunately, except on Saturday, the weather was most unfavour­ able, and on both the first two days the play was seriously interfered with by rain. Cam­ bridge, winning the toss, decided to go in first, but little progress could be made with the play, which had twice to be suspended owing to the bad light, and finally had to be given up for the day at five o’clock, at which time Cambridge had scored 88 for the loss of four wickets. Rain prevented a commencement on Friday till three o’clock, and then the ground was so wet that it was necessary to use a new pitch to be able to proceed with the game. A very determined stand by Messrs. Woods and Jephson, who added 74 for the ninth wicket, enabled Cambridge to make a total of 208, to which Surrey replied with 122 for four wickets before play ceased on Friday. On the following day nothing occurred to in­ terfere with the progress of the game, and some good all-round cricket was witnessed. Mr. Key completed his innings for 78—a very fine display of batting. He only gave one chance, just before he was out, and his suc­ cess, after arun of ill-luck, was highly popular. The second innings of Cambridge was chiefly noticeable for the good cricket of Messrs. Ford and McGregor. Both played with confi­ dence and judgment,though preference might, perhaps, be given to the former, who hit all­ round with great freedom. Surrey went in a second time with a lictle over an hour left for play and wanting 147 to win. Maurice Read was stupidly run out at 9, and then occurred such a series of disasters that the spectators were roused to the highest pitch. The light was very bad, but still the game was con­ tinued, and just for a time it looked as if Surrey would lose. When Wood joined Mr. Shuter seven wickets had fallen for 37, and there still remained twenty minutes left for play. Mr. Woods, who had not bowled before in the match, had meanwhile, seeing the possibility of a win, come on at the pavilion end, and with success, getting Mr. Read caught at point. Mr. Shuter and Wood, though, played up with great pluck, and time was just up when the former was bowled. The game was accordingly drawn, Surrey wanting 75 to win with only two wickets in hand.

The Yorkshire eleven, who have been show­ ing excellent all-round cricket this season, added another victory to their list at Lord’s on Saturday, when they defeated Middlesex by 156 runs. Owing to heavy rains just previously, the wicket at the commencement onThursdaywas soft,and aheavy thunderstorm which stopped play for two hours in the after­ noon, preventedit from gettinginto acondition at all favourable for run-getting during the rest of the match. Yorkshire, winning the toss, were batting for two hours and three- quarters for a total of 165. Five batsmen got double figures, but the best as well as the highest score was the 59 of Wainwright, who got his runs by good free cricket, and with no actual chance. Middlesex had hardly begun their innings before the storm descended, and when play did recommence after two hours the Yorkshiremen were placed at such a dis­ advantage with the wet ball, that Messrs. Webbe and Stoddart scored fast. When play ceased on Thursday night the score was 63 with only two batsmen out, but on the follow­ ing morning Peel carried everything before him, and the last eight wickets were secured for an addition of only 60 runs. Yorkshire, with a lead of 62 runs on the first innings, againcommencedwell, and Ulyett and Hall put on 49 runs before a wicket fell. Three more batsmen, though, fell before the finish on Friday, and when play began on Saturday, Yorkshire, as the ground was, had all the best of the game, being then 115 runs to the good with six wickets in hand. A useful stand, too, by the young professionals, Moorhouse and Wainwright, who added 60 runs, made Yorkshire’s position still more secure, and in fact practically decided the result of the match. Middlesex, with 206 to win on a wicket which helped the bowlers, had only at the best a very outside chance, and Peel and Wainwrightbowledwithsuch success asto place the result beyond doubt. Mr. O’Brien hit well for 25, but no one else got double figures and the last six wickets fell for 17 runs. Peel’s bowling was the best feature of the match. Altogether he delivered 44 overs and 1 ball for 56 runs and ten wickets. Wainwright’s figures at the finish were also remarkable. His five wickets in the second innings of Middlesex only cost 11 runs. Y o r k s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

Though they had rather the worst of the first hands in this match, begun at Birming­ ham, on Friday, the Lancashire eleven were able to reoover their position, and in the end to gain an easy victory. This result was mainly due to the remarkable bowling of Watson in Warwickshire’s second innings, which lasted just over an hour. Pallett and Shilton, indeed, were the only batsmen whom he did not seem to puzzle, and the former’s 13 was the only double figure on the side. In sixteen overs Watson got six wickets at a cost of only 5 runs, and in the match altogether twelve wickets for an average of just over 4 runs. Pallett and Richardson were the highest scorers for Warwickshire, and the former took in addition seven wickets for 64 runs. The latter was batting an hour and three quarters in the first innings for his 30. Briggs’ all-round cricket was of great service to Lancashire. Besides taking seven wickets, his 41 was the highest score on the side. Lancashire won, as will be seen, with eight wickets to spare.
