Cricket 1890

JU L Y 24, 1890. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EE COED OF THE GAME; 2 7 5 uming, rang came very freely till, at 101, Gunn was caught and bowled for an extremely useful score of 34. After making 13Mr. Read was bowled, and it was left to his namesake and Mr. Grace to win the match, which was done with seven wickets to spare. Mr. Grace, it is needless to add, was heartily cheered at the finish, as he thoroughly well deserved. The victory of the English eleven, indeed, was received with great enthusiasm, and some time elapsed before the excitement subsided. Mr. Grace’s innings was worthy of his best days. It took England two hours and a half to obtain the 137 required to win, and of that Mr.Grace contributed 75. He battedwith all his old confidence and judgment, and there was only one hit, and that a difficult chance to mid off when he had made 44, that could be accounted a mistake. It was fitting that England’s victory should be essentially the work of the greatest cricketer Englishmen have ever seen. It will be noticed that the aggregate of 628 runs made in the match did not include a bye, a satisfactory evi­ dence that Mr. McGregor’s selection to that important post for England was fully justified, as well as that Blackham was at his best. On the first day 12,345 paid the shilling charged for admission to the ground, on Tues­ day 12,726, and yesterday 6,208, making atotal of 30,279 for the match. A u s t r a l ia n s . First Innings.

P laying for Norwood v. Addiscombe, on July 16, L. de Montezuma bowled eight overs for 7 runs and five wickets. KENT v. MIDDLESEX. After three days of interesting crioket the return match between these counties, begun at Tonbridge on Monday, ended in a tho­ roughly well-deserved victory for Kent by two wickets. Though several notable players were absent, still the two elevens were fairly repre­ sentative, and, as the wicket was in excellent condition, the batsmen were generally seen to advantage. Middlesex, winning the toss, be- gan exceedingly well, Messrs. Stoddart and Webbe making 53 for the first wicket. After this, though, the only stand was by Mr. Paravicini and West, and the latter carried out his bat for a well-hit 35, the second highest score on the side. Though Kent in their turn made only a moderate start, Messrs. Fox and Leslie Wilson played such fine cricket that the score was raised from 39 to 114 before the former was caught, a stand which changed the whole appearance of the game. Mr. Marchant was very finely caught by Mr. Webbe for 8 runs, but Mr. Wilson was still in at the close of the first day, when the total was 141 for the loss of six wickets. Mr. Wilson was then not out 62, and on the following morning he added 22 before Mr. Stoddart bowled him. He had been in close on two hours, and except for two hard chances late in the innings, there was no blemish of any kind in a fine exhibition of batting. Going in a second time in a minority of 40, Middlesex opened in a very inauspicious style, losing Messrs. Webbe and Stoddart for only 32 runs. Messrs. O’Brien and Ford, however, offered a very determined resistance to the Kent bowlers, and 82 were added before the former, who had a life at the wicket when he had got five, was caught for an excellent score of 48. Mr. Ford was out at 136, having been batting just under an hour and a half for his sixty, an invaluable innings. Later on Messrs. Paravicini and Watson put on 69, and the former was the last batsman out. His 70 was the highest score on the side, and though he might have been caught twice, his innings,which lasted afewminutes overtwo hours,was on the whole worthy of great praise. Wanting 241to win, Kent had justunderhalf an hour for batting on Tuesday, and during this time made 40forthe loss of one of the most dan­ gerous batsmen (Mr. Marchant). Yesterday, Wright, Mr. Best and Alec Hearne gave com­ paratively little trouble, though the last named was in altogether an hour and twenty minutes for 14, and with four wickets down for 64 the game seemed to be all in favour of Middlesex. Mr. Leslie Wilson and George Hearne, however, gave the match quite another aspect. The former was missed before he had scored, and this mistake proved to be a serious one for Middlesex as events proved. The two batsmen, indeed, played all the Middlesex bowling with confidence, and when the former was caught, 83 runs had been added. After luncheon Mr. Fox and George Hearne made another determined stand, and the total had been increased by 44 when the latter was bowled. He had been in two hours and a half for his 48, and his steady batting did much to influence the result. Mr. Cecil Wilson again failed to score, but Messrs. Fox and Torrens soon knocked off the sixteen still wanted to win, and Kent thus gained a most deserving success with two wickets in hand. M id d l e s e x . First Innings.
