Cricket 1891

112 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME; MAY 14, 1891 NORTH v. SOUTH. R ylott ’ s B e n e f it . Few professionals have deserved better of the Marylebone Club than the veteran, Arnold Rylbtt. For nearly twenty years he has been one of the ground bowlers at Lord’s, and not only done his duty, but done it in a style to seoure the respect of the members, one and all. For many years, too, he has bowled with con­ sistent success for the Club, and therefore the match begun at Lord’s on Monday was only a fitting recognition of long and honest service. Considering the early date, the teams, too, were fairly representative. Though Shrews­ bury was too unwell to play, and Briggs and Sugg were required by Lancashire, the North had a good side. The South, too, had a strong eleven in which Board, the Gloucestershire wicket-keeper, found a place owing to W ood’s absence, from a bad hand. Mr. W. G. Grace, who won the toss, set the Southerners a brilliant example by his excellent batting. He made 61 of the first 187 runs in an hour and ten minutes and it was lucky for the side that he was in his best form. W ith the one exception, indeed, of M. Read, no one else but Lohmann offered any resistance to the Northern bowlers. His 61 was an exceptional good display of free cricket. He also scored ol (out of 75 runs), and during his inn­ ings, lasting an hour and a half, there was only one chance, when he had got 87. When the North went in, Sharpe’s bowling proved very effective, and he got three of the first four wickets. Barnes and Peel, however, brought the score from 41 to 91 by good cricket and both were still in at the end of the first day. The two not outs added 25 more on Tuesday morning before Peel was out, having made 81 of the 75 runsin his best style. Barnes,though, gave the South a lot of trouble, and he stayed till the total was 166. His 72 was in every way worthy of his reputation, and he played with all the confidence and judgment of his best days. He was batting altogether three hours and ten minutes. Going in a seoond time 25 runs to the bad, the South would have fared very badly had it not been for the wonderfully fine hitting of Maurice Read. This was essentially the feature of the innings. The ground iB?like many others, at the present time bare owing to the great lack of rain, and this made his performance the more meritorious. He was responsible for 77 out of 115 while he was in, and although his innings was not without chances, it was none the less a most praiseworthy exhibition of resolute cricket. Mr. Cranston stayed with Read while 60 were added, but with the excep­ tion of Abel, the other batsmen failed utterly, and eight of the eleven were only accountable for 23 runs. With 124to win the North sent in Mr. Dixon and Ulyett, and when play ceased on Tuesday, nine of them had been got all by Ulyett. Though they onlv wanted 119 to win, yesterday, as the wicket, particularly at one end, had worn, the result was by no means regarded as a certainty for the North. They began so badly, too, that the game took a great change in favour of the South,and with Mr.Dixon and Ulyetfc both out for an addition of only 15, the latter’s chances had improved materially. While Barnes and Gunn were together, things brightened for the inside, but after the former’ s dismissal, four batsmen, Peel, Flowers, Mr. Hornby, and Gunn, fell in quick succession. Though a use­ ful stand by Pougher and Attewell, who added 25 for the ninth wicket, raised the Northern hopes slightly, the South held a slight advan­ tage to the last, and by 1.80 they had won a good match with 84 runs to spare. Sharpe and Martin bowled with great success at the finish, the former getting four wickets for 17,1 the latter three for 23 runs. I S outh . First Innings. Mr. W.
