Cricket 1890

212 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EE CORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 26, 1890. missed just before his retirement. He had been batting two hours and fifty minutes, and, in spite of three chances, his 117 was an attractive display of all-round cricket. Mr. Ford continued to hit with the greatest vigour, and after seeing Messrs. Gosling and Hale leave, was himself not out, having con­ tributed 117 to the total of 494 for seven wickets. On Saturday, the two not outs, Messrs. Ford and Jackson, scored at a great pace, and the score was raised to 623 before the former was easily caught at point. The two batsmen had made 182 runs in sixty-five minutes. Mr. Ford should have been stumped when he had made 54, but this was the only fault in his innings of 191. He got his runs in two hours and three quarters, so that he scored throughout at the rate of 70 runs an hour. His driving on both sides was par­ ticularly fine, and no less than a hundred of his runs were made from fours. Mr. Jackson, who had played very well for his 60, was caught at 629, but the end was still far off. The two last batsmen, Messrs. Woods and Streatfeild, also punished the Sussex bowlers severely, and it was not until the score had reached 703 that the former declared his innings at an end. Mr. Woods, though, had had the satisfaction of beating the best record for a first-class match—Surrey’s 698 against Sussex at the Oval, in August, 1888. Sussex had only an outside chance of a draw when they went in a second time. Mr. Newham, was in two hours and ten minutes, but in spite of some useful help by Tebay, the County never really looked like saving the match, which Cambridge won with no less than 425 runs to spare. In the three days 1,339 runs were scored, and this proved another record, beating the best previous aggregate in an important match in England, the 1,295 of Yorkshire and Middlesex at Lord’s last year, by 44 runs.

Berkeley, the Freshman who has bowled so successfully for Oxford this season, was unable to take part in the return match against Lancashire, begun at Man­ chester on Thursday last, and his bowling was sadly missed. The Oxonians, who were unfor­ tunate enough to lose the toss, had a very long outing, having to field the whole of Thursday and until past twelve o’clock on the following morning. All the first seven batsmen on the Lancashire side scored well, but the brilliant performance of Sugg overshadowed all the rest. Going in first with Barlow, 103 were made in about the same number of minutes, before the latter was bowled. After that runs came very fast, and at one time 136 runs were got in the hour. Sugg, who was batting three hours, contributed 171 out of 265 while he was in. He is always a fast scorer, but on this occasion his hitting all-round was more than usually hard and well-timed. His 171 is the highest innings he has yet made in a first-class match, and the merit of the perfor­ mance will be estimated when it is stated that it was entirely free from mistakes. The two Wards, Paul, Mr. Hornby, and Baker also scored so freely that at the end of the first day the County had scored 437 for the loss of six batsmen. This total had been made in five hours and a half, so thac the rate of run-getting was just 80 an hour. Resuming on Friday, the four remaining wickets were secured in thirty-five minutes for an addition of 38 runs, so that the innings closed for 475, the highest total as yet made by the Lanca­ shire eleven. Paul, who went in third wicket down at 270, carried out his bat for 60, a well- got score, marred by only one chance. Though Briggs was representing the Players against the Australians at Lord’s, a useful substitute as a bowler was found in J. Hewit- son, of Preston, who made a very favourable first appearance. Mr. Smith hit well in each innings for Oxford, and Messrs. Wilson, Schwann, and Bradby were also seen to ad­ vantage. Still, though they scored well each time, the Oxonians were never able to get near the Lancashire total, and were beaten by 69 runs and an innings to spare. Hewit- son, it will be seen, bowled with success. In Oxford’s two innings he took ten wickets for an average of eleven and a half runs. L a n c a s h ir e .
