Cricket 1890

840 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. AUG. 21, 1890. Vf? L AN C A SH IR E v. SUSSEX. On the respective form of the tw o counties this season Sussex had not, on paper, the smallest ohance of success when they com ­ m enced their return m atch with Lancashire, at Brighton, on Thursday last. T he result, too, effectually demonstrated the superiority of the Lancashire eleven at all points, and, in fact, the issue was never at any time in doubt. Though they w on the toss, Sussex made only a poor show against the bowling of Watson and Mold, and were dismissed for a very small aggregate of 86. The wicket, it may be added, in extenuation of this performance, did not play well, and Mold bumped a good deal. His fast bowling, indeed, proved too m uch for the m ajority of the Sussex batsmen, and Jesse H ide’s 26 proved to be the best of the four double figures. W hen Lancashire went in a sensational comm encem ent was made, as Mr. Godfrey, who is also a fast bowler, beat both Barlow and Sugg, dism issing them for to­ gether only four runs. T h e only noteworthy incidents of the batting, indeed, were the scores of Mr. M cLaren and Briggs. The professional hit in his m ost brilliant fashion, and the stand of these two batsmen pro­ duced some exceptionally good crioket. Mr. M cLaren’s batting, though, was quite the best feature of the match. The Harrow captain had not previously taken part in an important match, and this made his perform ance of the greater m erit. Going in second wicket down, with the total at 9, he was sixth out, having contributed 108 out of 189 got during his stay. H e was in, too, just under tw o hoars and a quaiter, during whioh tim e he gave no chance, and, indeed, rarely made a m ishit. Altogether, it was an exceptionally creditable first appearance in county cricket, and the future of the young H arrovian will, we need hardly add, be watched w ith general interest. Following on no less than 162 to the bad, Sussex, on Friday m orning, only fared slightly better than on the previous day. Mr. Smith, indeed, was the only one of the eleven who played M old with any great confidence, and his 89 was worthy of high praise. L an ­ cashire won by an innings and 62 runs. Mold’s ten wickets were got at an average cost of just over 11 runs. S ussex . First Innings. Quaife, run out ... . Humphreys, b Mold.......... Mr. W. Newham, c M’Laren, b Mold ..........

A n important fixture at L ord’s in August is an altogether new experience to the present generation of cricketers. The excellent all­ round cricket shown by the Surrey eleven this season, though, invested the m atch begun on Thursday last w ith particular interest, and, to judge by the attendance, the experi­ ment was decidedly popular. W ith the excep­ tion that M r. S. W . Scott displaced M r. J. G. Walker, the Middlesex eleven was the same as had met Yorkshire earlier in the week. There were also tw o changes in the Surrey team as constituted of late. B rockw ell was substituted for Mr. W . E . Roller, while, as an injured hand com pelled W ood to stand down, an oppor­ tunity was given to try a new amateur wicket­ keeper—M r. A. F . Clarke, the captain of the M itcham Club, whose first appearance it was in an important match. Mr. bhuter, who has been very fortunate in the toss this year, was again lucky enough to get the innings. The Surrey m en too, took full advantage o f the opportunity, and when the first day ended 402 runs had been got with only nine batsmen out. The chief m erit of this performance rested with Abel, and in a lesser degree with Lohm ann, Mr. R ead, and Lockwood. L oh ­ mann, who was very judiciously put in first wicket down, got 52 in just over the hour by brilliant hitting, and Mr. Read’s 46 only took him fifty-five minutes. Lockw ood, also, scored very rapidly off the Middlesex bowling, and he was credited w ith 52 of 72 runs in fifty m inutes. Abel from the first had played good watchful cricket, and when play ceased for the day he was still in with 146 of the 406 to his credit. On Friday morning 19 were added before Mr. Clarke played on, and A bel was thus able to carry his bat throughout the inn­ ings. H e was batting in all five hours and fifty minutes, and a m ore masterly display of steady cricket has not been seen this season. H e played all the bowling with equal judg­ ment and confidence, and there was nothing like a chance to detract from a very fine per­ formance. Though the ground was all in favour of run-getting on Friday the M iddle­ sex batting proved very disappointing. The start was by no means unpromising, as Messrs. Stoddart, Scott, and O’Brien scored so well that at luncheon tim e the total was 124 for the loss of only four wickets. A fter that, though, Lohm ann and Sharpe bowled with remarkable success, and the innings closed for an addition of only 38. In the follow on, too, they fared even worse, and, in spite of a use­ ful score of 26 by the capcain, six of the best batsmen on the side were out for only 49 runs. Some free hitting by Mr. H enery varied the general dulness, but Sharpe’s bowling proved far too m uch for the other batsmen, and in an hour and a half the Middlesex eleven were out for 101. Surrey were thus left with an easy victory by an innings and 162 runs. Lohm ann and Sharpe each took nine wickets, though the form er’s were slightly the more expensive. S u rrey .

Although there was only a difference of six runs on the first innings in this m atch, begun at Huddersfield on Thursday, the Yorkshire eleven were seen to great advantage in the latter part of the gam e. H eavy rain preven ted a comm encem ent on Saturday till close on three o ’clock, but Peel and Harrison bowled with such success that the nine last wickets in Leicestershire’s second innings were secured for an addition of only 49 runs. A t the finish Yorkshire wanted only 78 to win, and chiefly through the good hitting of U lyett these were got for the loss of three batsmen. Peel and Harrison bowled w ith great success for York­ shire. Harrison’s ten wickets cost 51, Peel’s eight 95 runs. In Yorkshire’s first innings W oodcock got seven of the nine wickets which fell to the bowlers for 60 runs. L eice stershire . First Innings. Seccnd Innings.
