Cricket 1890

8 2 4 CBICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 14, 1890. NOTTS v. YORKSHIRE. A fter three days of interesting crioket, the return matoh between these old opponents, begun on the T rent Bridge Ground, N ottingham , on Thu»Bday, ended on Saturday evening in a draw. Owing to a slight strain Gunn was unable to play for N otts, and in his absence Richardson was re-instated in the eleven. Mr. Jackson, of Cambridge Univer­ sity, was not able to represent Yorkshire, but otherwise the County had its full strength, including L ord Hawke, who owing to indis­ position had not been able to captain the team for several matches. Notts, who won the toss, began in very prom ising style, and thanks to Mr. D ixon, Shrewsbury, and Butler at one o ’clook the score was a hundred with only one batsman out. Shrewsbury’s defence was as true as ever, and his innings of 69 was in everyw ay worthy of him , containing nothing like a ehance during the three hours and twenty minutes he was in. In a different style A ttewell did as good service. H e was only batting an hour and twenty m inutes, and his 68 was also without a fault. As Notts were in all the first day Yorkshire commenced their innings on Friday morning w ith a fairly heavy score of 246 against them . A bad start, too, they made, as when the sixth wicket fell the total was only 70. Moorhouse w ith some luck, however, gave Peel useful assistance, and B row n later on played capital cricket, ultimately carrying out his bat. Peel’s batting, though, was the best feature of the innings. G oing in with the total 25 for three wickets he was ninth out at 174, having made 84 out of 149 while he was in. H e was at the wickets altogether tw o hours and twenty minutes, and there was only one chance when he had made 66 to mar an otherwise perfect display of batting. Going in a second time on Friday afternoon with a useful m ajority of 69, the earlier batsmen of N otts were again seen to great advantage, and thanks to the good cricket of Butler, Mr. Dixon,and Shrewsbury, when the second day ended they had got 140, or 209 on, for the loss of only four batsmen. R ain fell steadily on Saturday m orning, and there was only forty-five minutes of actual cricket before luncheon. Meanwhile 39 runs had been added at a cost of four more wickets, and as Notts were then 248 to the good Mr. D ixon closed his innings with the total 139 for eight wickets. Nearly three hours and three-quarters remained for play when Y ork­ shire went in for the fourth innings, and as the wioket was, they wisely decided to play for the draw. U lyett, H all, Lord Hawke, and Brown, too, all played w ith judgm ent, and when 100 appeared only three wickets had been secured. A fter this, though, things went for a tim e badly with Yorkshire, and Peel’s watohful cricket in all probability saved his side from defeat. As it was, when tim e was up Yorkshire still wanted 110 to win with only two wickets to fall, so that the game was certainly drawn in favour of N otts. Sherwin, who had his nose injured at the Oval in the m atch between Surrey and N otts, was even more unfortunate on Saturday. H e received, in­ deed, such a severe blow on the forehead that he had to leave the field, and in his absence Scotton did duty behind the wicket. N otts . First Innings. Mr. J. A.

The Gloucestershire eleven, who have shown excellent all-round cricket during the last few weeks, were seen to general advan­ tage in their return m atch with Lancashire, played on the Clifton College ground at the end of last week. W inning the toss, they were in all the first day, scoring 349 for the loss of only nine wickets. The foundation of this big score was laid by the brothers Grace, who were together tw o hours and twenty minutes, and realised 139 for the first wicket. E . M. was the first to leave, and W . G. stayed forty minutes longer for 21 runs more. B oth the brothers were in their best form , and the only chance by either was one by E. M . when he had got 9. Mr. Cranston subsequently scored 74 in an hour and fifty minutes by brilliant hitting, and Mr. Croome, following his example, scored almost as fast, obtaining his 61 not out in the last hour and a half. A t the end of the first day there was still one Gloucestershire wicket to fall, and Mr. Croome added all the ten runs got on Friday morning. H is 71 was a fine display of clean and resolute hitting, and, as far as we could see, there was no chance to detract from an excellent per­ form ance. "When Gloucestershire took the field the bowlers had an equally bad tim e of it, and m ost of the Lancashire batsmen scored well. Sugg, after a life at the very outset, began by scoring 52 out of the first 80, and Barlow saw five other batsmen go before he was caught. His 92 took him four hours and a half, and the only faults were two rather difficult chances after he had got 60. A t the end of the second day Lancashire had obtained 295 for seven wickets, and, as on Saturday m orning 63 runs were added, the innings did not close until they had got within one run of the opposite total. Though Mr. W . G. Grace opened the innings in fine style, the chief feature of Gloucestershire’s batting on Saturday was the free hitting of Messrs. Cranston and Pullen. In the course of an hour the two amateurs scored 83 runs, and while they were together the cricket was full of life and interest. On the fall of Mr. Cranston’s—the seventh—wicket at 166, M r. Grace closed his innings in the hope— a very remote one, it must be added—of getting Lancashire out in an hour and a half. As it was, Sugg hit w ith his usual freedom , while Barlow kept up his w icket, and after 79 had been got with both batsmen still in, stumps were drawn a quarter of an hour earlier. The game was thus left drawn after 961 runs had been scored for twenty-seven wickets. G loucestershire . First Innings. *Second Innings. Mr. W . G.

Fortune completely deserted the Club dur­ ing this tour, and every one of the fixtures ended in defeat. The team started weaker than was expected, owing to one or tw o dis­ appointments, and on the first day of the tour, L. H . Bacmeister (the m ost reliable all round man) was taken ill with asthma and congestion of the lungs, which prevented his playing again. Several other members were either totally or partially disabled at various times by accidents and unable to do them ­ selves justice; but in spite of these drawbacks a very enjoyabie tim e was spent, and the matches, particularly at E xm outh and Sid- m outh, were keenly contested from start to finish.
