Cricket 1890

JUNE 26, 1890. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; 211 WARWICKSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. The Yorkshire eleven, with Peel and Ulyett, who were representing the Players against the Australians, at Lord’s, as well as Lord Hawke, Mr Whitwell and Hunter all away, had the worst of this match, begun at Halifax on Thursday, throughout. Warwick­ shire, after being threejhours at the wickets for 140, succeeded in dismissing their opponents for 86, and as the first day ended with the completion of Yorkshire’s innings, the home team resumed the game on Friday with a very useful advantage of 54 runs. The wicket helped the bowlers somewhat on the second morning, and Richards alone of the Warwickshire eleven was able to play the Yorkshire bowling with any confidence. He was the only batsman to get into double figures, and, as will be seen, he made 49 out of an aggregate of 80, exclusive of extras. At the finish Yorkshire had 146 to win, but except for some free cricket by Moorhouse and Brown late in the innings, there was nothing worthy of note in the batting, and Warwick­ shire gained a most creditable victory with 46 runs to spare. Pallett’s bowling had very much to do with their success. In the match he took eleven wickets for an average of under 8 runs. In Warwickshire’s second innings Mr. Bolton delivered 21 overs and four balls for 26 runs and eight wickets. W a r w ic k s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. H. W.

Grace was much better supported in the match begun at Gloucester on Thurs­ day than in any of the previous fixtures undertaken by Gloucestershire this season, and as a consequence the county made a much better show. Kent, too, though well repre­ sented, suffered, however, a heavy loss by an accident early on the first day to Mr. Fox, who, in trying to stop a ball at point, dislo­ cated his shoulder-blade, and was unable to take further part in the match. Gloucester­ shire, winning the toss, made a bad start, losing Mr. W. G. Grace before he had scored. E. M., however, made full amends for his brother’s dismissal, and when he was caught from a skyer the total was 181, of which he had made 96 by excellent hitting without a mistake. Later on Mr. Beloher, a looal amateur, who made his first appearance for the county, showed capital cricket, and Roberts, the last man, hit away so freely that the last wicket added 74 runs. Kent at the end of the first day had made 33 with no one out, but on the following morning the Glouces­ tershire bowlers were seen to unexpected advantage, and the nine wickets were seoured for an addition of 114 runs. Following on in a minority of 147, Kent for a time fared badly again, and, with four of the best batsmen out for 49, it hardly looked as if they would save the innings. Mr. Daffen, who had been bat­ ting with the greatest care, however, found a partner of a more determined character in Mr. Hamilton, and the latter hit with such judgment as well as resolution that in an hour the score had been increased by 103, of which Mr. Hamilton had contributed 63—a fine dis­ play of cricket without a blemish. On his re­ tirement Mr. Torrens also got the measure of the Gloucestershire bowling, and when play ceased on Friday he was not out 34, and the total 200 for five wickets. On Saturday morning Mr. Daffen saw the four remaining batsmen go for an addition of 49 runs, and the innings, which had lasted altogether just four hours, closed for 249. Mr. Daffen, who had gone in first, carried out his bat for an in­ valuable score of 72. Though it is only a few weeks since he first played for the county his watchful cricket has been of the greatest value to Kent, and his reputation will be ma­ terially enhanced by his excellent display of defensive batting in this match. Left with 103 to win, Gloucestershire began their second innings soon after one o’clock on Saturday. At luncheon time the total was 37 for one wicket, and afterwards, in a bad light and with apparently a certainty of rain, 54 were added at a cost of two more batsmen—Messrs. W. G. Grace and Radcliffe. Just before four o’clock, however, the players were forced to take shelter from the heavy downpour, and as it did not cease before the time fixed for draw­ ing stumps Gloucestershire were deprived of a certain victory. As they only wanted 12 runs to win with seven wickets in hand, it was bad luck that they could not finish the game, and the more so as they had not been able to win one of their previous matches this year.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY Though they made a comparatively poor show on the first day of this match, begun at Brighton on Thursday, by their brilliant per­ formance in the later stages of the game the Ca bridge eleven gave another striking proof of their capacity as an exceptionally even and strong batting side. Though they won the toss, th University were dismissed on an excellent wicket for an unexpectedly small total of 179. Of th se nearly one half came from the bat of Mr. Douglas, whose consistently good batting for Cambridge against every kind of bowling has been one of the most noteworthy f at res of this year’s cricket. He scored 84 out of 107 during the seventy minutes he was in, and his only mistakes were two chances to squ re-leg just before he was out. The Cam­ bri ge bowling, too, did not seem to give much trouble to the Sussex batsmen, and as Quaife, Bean, Messrs. Newham, Smith, and Cotterill all scored well, by the end of the first day 246 had been got for the loss of only six wickets. The County was then 67 on, but on the fol­ lowing morning Mr. Woods, who took three wickets in one over, got rid of the four batsmen for an addition of 24 runs, so that, after all, Cambridge were only 91 to the bad. When the University went in again, Mr. Douglas was once more seen to advantage, and when he was out, the third wicket, the total was 87, of which he made 62 in brilliant style. On his retirement Messrs. M’Gregor, who, owing 1o an injury to his knee, had Mr. Woods to run for him, and Foley hit awa} |with great freedom. The latter was twice missed when he had made 39, but his partner gave no chance at any part of his innings, which ex­ tended over three hours and a quarter. The partnership of the two batsmen had produced 214 runs, and as it only lasted two hours and ten minutes, it will be seen that runs were got at an average of nearly a hundred an hour. Mr. M’Gregor’s b7 was a remarkably fine display of free cricket, without a chance to de­ tract from its high merit. After another life Mr. Foley had also to leave, having be'en again
