Cricket 1890

2 9 2 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. J U L Y 31, 1890. M.C.O. AND G. v. YORKSHIRE. Though without Lord Hawke as well as Messrs. E. Smith and Whitwell, Yorkshire put a strong eleven into the field at Lord’s, on Thursday last. The Marylebone Club on the other hand was represented by a very moderate side, especially in batting, and the result was a one-sided game. Martin and Phillips were the Marylebone bowlers, and so successful were they at the outset that half the County’s wickets were down for only 28 runs. The brilliant hitting of Mr. F. S. Jackson, of the Cambridge eleven, andMoorhouse, however, worked animmediate and startling chaDge. The two batsmen, who, as will be seen, were responsible for 173 of 204 got by the County from the bat, made runs at an exceptional pace, and when the amateur was bowled the score had been increased by 184 runs in an hour and twenty- five minutes. The young Cantab of this number had contributed one half, and his 68, though, just at the last, marred by more than one mistake, was otherwise free from a fault. Moorhouse stayed until the total was 198 when he was caught. Of 170 scored during his innings of an hour and three-quarters, his share was 105. His hitting all-round was particularly clean and well-timed, and his innings, his first of three figures for York­ shire, was only marred by one chance in the long-field. Marylebone went into bat at 8 £0on Monday afternoon, and though rain stopped play for twenty minutes, at the end of the day fourteen of their wickets had been secured for 99 runs. When play began on Tuesday morning they wanted still 118 to save an innings defeat with six wickets in hand. This task proved altogether beyond their capacity, as only 47 were added by the remaining batsmen, and Yorkshire thus had an easy win by an innings and 71 runs. Y oskshith 7.

Though Middlesex was able to put a strong eleven into the field at Nottingham last Thursday, Notts was able to reverse the result of the previous match, winning by just the same margin as that by whioh they had been defeated at Lord’s, iD June. Though Mr. Webbe was lucky enough to win the toss, no one exoept Messrs. Stoddart and Watson offered any real resistance to the bowling of Shacklock and Attewell. The three amateurs were responsible for 75 of the total of 111, and Mr. Watson’s 31 was a particularly attractive display of batting. Shacklock: bowled with great success, helped, to some extent, by the ground, which bumped a little at times. When Notts went in Shrewsbury, playing forward to the second ball he received, was easily caught at point and retired without scoring, his first failureto score this season. Mr. Dixon and Gunn, however, by good cricket added 53 for the second wicket, and the latter stayed till the total was 108, of whioh he had contributed 67 in two hours. At the end of the first day Notts had scored 143 for the loss of five wickets, and this number was more than doubled before the innings came to an end. Attewell and Shacklock added 60 for the eighth wickec, and Sherwin, the last batsman, helped the former to put on 63 runs for the tenth. The mis-fielding of Middlesex on the second morning had much to do with the success of the Nottingham tail. Barnes and Shacklock were both let off, and Attewell had remark­ able luck, being missed several times. Though Messrs. Stoddart, O’Brien and Henery were all seen to advantage when Middlesex followed on in a minority of 186, it was not until the last that the innings was saved. The best stand was that of Messrs. Watson and Paravicini, who put on 59 runs for the eighth wicket. Though the former this time was very lucky, he hit with great resolution, and his 60 was a very useful innings. Hearne and Burton also lent valuable assistance, adding 31 for the last wicket. Though it was past half-past six o’clock when Middlesex were out, it was determined, as Notts had only 81 to get to win, to finish the match that night. The runs, too, were not made till 7.25, and at the cost of two batsmen, so that Notts won in the end with eight wickets to spare. The winners, it may be added, were without Richardson and Butler.

Woof’s appearance in the Gloucestershire eleven for the first time this summer had a great effect on the general cricket of the team, to judge by the excellent show they made against Lancashire at the end of last week. Lancashire, though, was not able to place its usual players in the field, as, in addition to the loss of Briggs, Paul, who has been scoring so well of late, was also absent. Mr. W. G. Grace, winning the toss for Gloucestershire, went in first with his brother on Thursday, and they made such a good start that 54 was up before the elder was out. Mr. Radcliffe, though he had some luck, hit away with his usual resolution, and when he was out, the second wicket, the total was 160. The chances of a long score, then very hopeful, were, however, destroyed by the failures of the later batsmen. Mr. W. G. Grace, indeed, found no one to stop with him, and he was not out himself until the eighth wicket. His innings of 94 was a fitting successor to his brilliant display earlier in the week for England. During his stay of three hours at the wicket he made no mistake, and, in fact, he played all the Lancashire bowlers with characteristic ease and confidence. The sudden termination of Gloucestershire’s innings was due to the remarkably effective bowling of Baker. Though he went on last, his figures were far and away the best on the side, and his 129 balls secured the dismissal of five batsmen at a cost of only 29 runs. Heavy ra.n during the night caused the wicket to be difficult on Friday morning, and Lancashire, who had made 20 on the first innings for one wicket (Sugg’s), went down so rapidly before the bowling of Woof and Roberts, supported by brilliant fielding, that in the course of an hour the nine wickets were dismissed for an addition of only 40 runs. Woof and Roberts equally divided the ten wickets,though the latter, who was unchanged, had rather the better figures. When Lanca­ shire went in again in a minority of 155, Mr. Hornby hit in his most brilliant style, scoring 56 of 78 runs made for the first wicket. Still, in spite of some steady cricket by Barlow, and the free hitting of Sugg, only 50 had been addedwhen the sixth batsman retired. Frank Ward, who was not out in the first innings, however, again came to the rescue of his side, and he received such useful assistance from the last four batsmen, Mr. Kemble, Hewitson, Watson, and Mold, that as many as 109 were added before the innings closed. This left Gloucestershire with 83 to win, and when play ceased on Friday 14 of them had been got with no one out. As the game then stood, with ordinary luck a victory for Mr. W. G. Grace’s eleven seemed to be on paper a certainty. As it was, however, rain fell so heavily on Friday night and following morning that the ground was never fit for play on Saturday, and the match had to be left in an unfinished state, very hard luck for Gloucestershire. Mr. W. G. Grace followed up his excellent batting by some effective bowling in Lancashire’s second innings. He took six of the ten wickets at a cost of 68 runs.
