Cricket 1890

AUG . 7, 1890. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; 807 SURREY v. NOTTS. Surrey added another to their list of victories yesterday, when they defeated Notts, for the fourth time in succession at the Oval, with seven wickets to spare. Mr. F. Fox_ member of the Notts Forest Club, who had been scoring heavily in local matches, was selected to take Richardson’s place with a view to strengthen the batting of Notts. It was his first appearance in a fixture of any importance, and, considering the interest centred in the match rather it must be added, a severe test for a young cricketer. Surrey, who played their usual eleven, were fortunate enough to win the toss, and remained at the wickets until a quarter to five o’clock for a total of 253. Though a smaller sum than at one time seemed likely it was altogether a creditable performance, as the wicket was at the outset a little slow, and in much ^better condition for run-getting later in the after­ noon. Mr. Shuter and Abel, who went in first, laid the foundation of Surrey’s total by some spirited batting, scoring 61 runs in forty minutes. The best stand of the innings, though, was by Mr. Key and Lockwood lor the fifth wicket. These two batsmen put on 62 runs while they were together, and Mr. Key’s 28 was an excellent display of cricket. Lockwood was in while 135 runs were added and of these his share Jwas 66. He played with confidence as well as judgment, and his hitting when occasion required was very good. Though Surrey had done fairly well it was generally thought that their total was by no means too large for Notts. Lohmann and Sharpe, however, bowl d so well, supported by excellent fielding, that Shrewsbury and Gunn were never at their ease, and with the exception of Flowers, who hit vigorously, the batting was so disappointing that at the end of the day the total was seventy- five for the loss of seven wickets. On Tuesday morning the game still went favour of Surrey, as Barnes was caught at the wicket off the first ball, and as of the two remaining batsmen Sherwin alone scored, the innings closed for an addition of only 8 runs. Following on in a minority of 170, Notts, too, made an unpromising commencement, losing Mr. Dixon and Butler for only 15 runs. Shrewsbury and Gunn, however, were not so easily separated, and their partnership, which produced 63 runs, gave the supporters of Notts their first hope. At first Gunn was by no means at home with Lohmann’s bowling, and though later on he showed much better form, his innings was not up to his best standard. Shrewsbury found another worthy supporter in Barnes, and while these two were partners, there was every chance that Surrey might after all have to go in for a long score. After the pair had added 79 runs, though, Shrews­ bury got his legs in the way of a lob, and when Barnes was also caught from the under­ hand five runs later, the game presented a much better aspect for Surrey. Both bats­ men had played with pluck and resolution at a' critical time. Shrewsbury was in three hours and a half, and though his play was at times tedious, still it was a very fine display of sound and, under the circumstances, most judicious cricket. When Barnes had got six Mr. Read might have caught him at point, but the fieldsman could not start for the catch. Otherwise Barnes made nothing like amistake during the just under two hours he was at the wickets. Scotton and Mr. Fox gave some trouble, but the Surrey men fielded through the hot day pluckily to the finish, and with the fall of the tenth wicket at 240, play ceased. Surrey began their second innings yesterday wtih 71 to win, and though Mr. Shuter was caught at two, the result was never in doubt, the runs being got for the loss of three bats­ men. Sharpe and Lockwood, it will be seen, contributed in no small degree to Surrey’s victory. The former’s bowling was of quite an exceptional kind, considering the run- getting character of the wicket, and the quality of the opposing batsmen. Of his 74 overs 41 were maidens, and his eleven wickets were obtained at m average of just over eight runs. On the first day 23,746paid to enter the ground, on the second 15,888, and yesterday 1,198, so that altogether the Surrey Club received money for 40,832 persons. S u r r e y . First Innings.

The Gloucestershire eleven, following up their brilliant performances against Lanca­ shire, Yorkshire, and Notts, were seen to great advantage on their own ground, at Bristol, this week, defeating Sussex yesterday by an innings and 5 runs. Arthur Hide, who had only played once before this season, and then against Gloucestershire, was again able to re­ present Sussex, and, as the analysis will show, he was by far the most successful bowler in Gloucestershire’s long innings. Gloucester­ shire were again fortunate in winning the toss, and the brothers Grace made a good start, scoring 117 before the first wicket fell. Though Messrs. Radcliffe and Cranston gave little trouble, Mr. Pullen and Painter, too, scored so fast that 112 runs had been made in seventy minutes when the amateur was well caught. Mr. Townsend also hit away with his old vigour, and the total was raised to 329 before Painter was caught. He scored his 119 in two hours and a half, and, though he gave two chances (the first at 37), as a display of hard, resolute hitting it has not been sur­ passed for a long time. Later on Mr. Page also got rnne off the worn-out bowling of Sussex, and when play ceased on Monday the total was 408 for sevenwickets—Mr. Townsend not out 70, Mr. Page not out 29. On Tuesday morning the innings was brought to an end in forty-five minutes for an addition of 29 runs, Mr. Townsend not out 85. In the last hour and a half he had a substitute to run for him, but during the six hours he was at the wickets he did not give a chance. Sussex had been in the field altogether six hours, and as a testimony to the efficiency of Butt's wicket keeping it is worthy of remark that there was not a single bye. Going in against such a big total, Sussex did not fareparticularly well, as at luncheon time the score was 62, with Quaife and Bean out. Though Mr. Newham, who has been altogether out of luok lately, played with great judgment, things still went badly with the side, and when Mr. Newham himself was out lbw at 100 the last hope was gone. Mr. Andrews hit freely when he settled down, but otherwise the show was very tame. Mr. Newham was in two hours without a mistake, and his batting was the one redeeming feature of a very disappointing display. Though following on under a heayy deficit of 254, Sussex began in more promising style. Mr. Smith and Quaife put on 65 runs in forty minutes, but both were out at this figure, and when play ended on Tuesday only 11 had been added for the loss of another batsman (A. Hide). Yesterday, though no high scores were recorded, most of the remaining batsmen of Sussex did fairly well, and, indeed, with the one exception of Mr. Godfrey, all got double figures. Still they failed to succeed in putting Gloucestershire in a second time, and were beaten by an innings and 5 runs to spare. In the three innings there was only one bye. G lo u c e s t e r sh ir e .
