Cricket 1890

8 7 2 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; SEPT. 4, 1890, WARWICKSHIRE v. ESSEX. Rain allowed very little play on the first two days of this match, fixed for the latter part of last week at Birmingham, and as a con­ sequence the game was drawn. Pickett took nine Warwickshire wickets for 99, Mr. Bishop four for 22 runs. Shilton and Pallett each took five wickets for Warwickshire, the former for 44, the latter for 51 runs.

The comparatively poor display of the Surrey eleven, following closely on their de­ feat by Yorkshire a week before, in their last important fixture, begun at the Oval on Thurs­ day, was a general disappointment, particu­ larly after the exceptionally good all-iound cricket they had been showing throughout the season. The absence of a capable wicket­ keeper might be held accountable in some measure for their ill-success against York­ shire, and as Messrs. Clarke and Fielding, as well as Wood, still had their hands damaged, Watts was called upon to fill the position. Mr. Shuter, winning the toss, sent Kent into the field, but first innings in this instance gave no great benefit. The Surrey batsmen were not, indeed, at home on the slow wicket, and in a little over an hour and a half they were dismissed for the small total of 101. Martin and Wright bowled unchanged, but the latter was the more successful, getting seven of the ten wickets for 49 runs. Martin’s three wickets were obtained from successive balls, so that he had the credit of the hat trick—a very rare achievement in important matches. In the afternoon the wicket was faster, and in spite of the good out cricket of Surrey all the first eight batsmen of Kent got double figures. The chief stand was while Mr. Fox and George Hearne were together, and their partnership realised 49. Hearne’s 39 was the highest score on the side, but it was not the best innings, and inferior to that of Mr. Fox, who played excellent cricket during the hour and forty minutes he was at the wickets. When play ceased on Thursday night Kent had made 201 for the loss of nine batsmen, and as only five were added on the following morning they had a lead of 105 runs at the end of an innings. It was generally expected that Surrey would atone for their previous failure by a good score when they went in again. These expectations, though, were in no way realised, as Maurice Read was a second time out th© first ball he jiad, and five of the best wickets were down for only 51 runs. Meanwhile a deplorable accident had occurred to Walter Wright, who had taken both the first two wickets. Lohmann re­ turning the ball very hard injured Wright’s thumb on his bowling hand—the left—so badly that he had to leave the field, and sub­ sequently to undergo an operation at St. Thomas’ Hospital. Alec Hearne took the ball when play was resumed and proved remark­ ably successful, ge'tting seven of the last eight wickets at a cost of 50 runs. The only note­ worthy feature of the innings was the free hitting of Brockwell, who played up with great pluck when the earlier batsmen had failed. Though Kent had only 35 to get to win the Surrey men made such a good start that Messrs. Hamilton and Marchant were both dismissed with the total only nine. Mr. Pat­ terson, too, ought to have been caught at short slip before he had scored, and had Abel only taken this chance some interest might still have oentred in the finish. As it was Messrs. Patterson and Wilson got the remain­ ing runs slowly, and Kent were thus left winners with eight wiokets to spare. Their well deserved viotory was evidently very popular, and great enthusiasm was shown at the finish. S u r r e y . First Innings. Abel, b Martin .................29 Mr. W. W.

The result,though, was not encouraging, as, though they were in for nearly two hours, the total was only 48 when the tenth wioket fell. Quaife, who was in an hour and ten minutes for twelve, and Jess# Hide were the only batsmen who offered any real opposition to the bowling of Peel and Harrison, and the play after lun­ cheonwas soutterly disappointing,that the last five wiokets only added eight runs. Peel was mainly responsible for the poor display of batting, and he took, as will be seen, seven of the ten wiokets for an average of under four runs. When the Yorkshiremen went in, the batting offered a remarkable contrast, and the first four batsmen scored well. The best cricket, though, was during the partnership of Lord Hawke and Brown, and, while they were together, 67 runs were added. Brown played well, and Lord Hawke’s 65 was without a fault excepting a difficult chance to point when he had made 50. When play ceased on Thursday night Yorkshire had made 162 for five wickets, and on the following morning the innings was closed in fifty minutes for an addition of 46 runs. The cause of this col­ lapse was the effective fast bowling of Mr. Godfrey, who took the last five wickets for only 22 runs. Sussex went in for their second innings with a heavy deficit of 160 runs, and as their batting only showed a very slight improvement on that of the previous day, the game was never interesting. This time Mr. Bolton began the bowling with Peel, and though the latter did not come off, the amateur and Harrison, who was again very sucoessful, proved too much for the Sussex batsmen. At lunch time on Friday the score was 41 for three wickets, and this number had just been doubled when the innings came to an end. Yorkshire thus won in an innings, with 78 runs to spare.

The Sussex eleven, whose continuous failures have been one of the most noticeable features of county oricket this year, brought an unfortunate season to a close at Brighton on Friday, with another reverse, the second at the hands of Yorkshire.
