Cricket 1891

110 CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OP THE GAME. MAY 14, 1891 NOTTS v. DERBYSHIRE. Derbyshire was very unfortunate in having to meet its formidable neighbour of Notts for the opening match of the season, on Thursday last at Nottingham, with only a moderate team. In addition to Mr. F. R. Spofforth, Mr. G. G. Walker and the brothers Evershed were not able to play owing to illness, and in their absence places were found for four new men in Mr. H. A. Morley, the Derby footballer, Thorpe of Tibshelf, Bottom of Whitwell, and Raynor of Heanor. On the other hand, Notts tried, as an experiment, H. B. Daft (who played for the first time as a professional), Baggaley, and Lowe (two pro­ mising colts), instead of Scotton, Butler, and Richardson. Winning the toss, Derbyshire were at the wickets during the greater part of the first day, during which they ran up an excellent total of 213. Several members of the team played sterling cricket, though the best performances were those of Chatterton, Malthouse, Storer, and Sugg. Chatterton. as usual, set an excellent example to his side, and his 38 was a thoroughly sound exhibition of batting. Malthouse, the left-handed bats­ man who scored so well last year, also played good cricket. As it proved, however, the Derbyshire total was not nearly large enough for their opponents, who, on Thursday even­ ing, had got 75 runs for the loss of Mr. Dixon’s wicket. Continuing the next morning, after some rain had fallen, the Derbyshire eleven were rather heavily handicapped under the double disadvantage of a wet ground and slippery ball. Gunn and Shrewsbury took the score to 160 before they were separated. The famous Nottingham batsmen both opened the season in brilliant form. Shrews­ bury was at the wickets just under three hours in scoring his 77, whilst Gunn’s score took him over two hours and a half. After Barnes had been dismissed for a useful 44, a heavy rain storm stopped play for two hours. Afterwards, however, Flowers, by some ex­ ceedingly brilliant hitting, scored 100, with­ out a palpable chance, and was still in at the close of Friday’s play, when the score showed 364 for eight wickets. On reaching the ground on Saturday morning it was found to be in so slow and difficult a condition that the Notts captain did not hesitate to put Derbyshire in a second time, leaving them with 151 to avert an innings’ defeat. But for mistakes in the field, indeed, Derbyshire would never have reached so respectable a second total as they did. As it was, Storer and Bagshaw— who, though they hit freely, were missed several times—put on 96 runs while together; and this pair were responsible for no fewer than 137 out of 178 from the bat. Notts were only set 32 runs to get to win, a task which Mr. Dixon and Shrewsbury accom­ plished without loss. Attewell, it will be seen, took eight wickets in the match at a cost of 91 runs.

In his opening remarks the Chairman,while paying a graceful compliment to Mr. M. P. Betts, the late secretary, asked the members to render all the co-operation in their power to Mr. O. R. Borradaile, his successor. Reverting to the last season, he observed that whilst the record of five defeats and only one victory might not look very reassuring, losing the toss often deprived Essex of what would really have been victories. Their good show in both matches with Surrey was very encouraging, and two of the drawn games were virtual wins for the County. Mr. A. P. Lucas would not often be available this season, but Mr. H. M. Taberer of Oxford University would probably play frequently. Turning to monetary matters, the Chairman claimed that the sum of i? 1.500 would put the Club on a solid financial basis, and he appealed to members to do their best to increase the number of members.
