Cricket 1891

JUNE 11, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEK&Y EECORD OF THE GAME. 173 LEICESTERSHIRE v. LANCASH IRE. Though at one time on the second after­ noon Leicestershire seemed likely to make a good fight in this match, begun at Leicester on Monday, the advantage obtained by Lancashire on the first innings proved too much for them in the end. Owing to recent rains, the wicket was very slow at the outset, and as the ground dried steadily, Leicester­ shire, though they won the toss, had the worst of it in going in first. Pougher was the only batsman who played Briggs and Mold with any confidence, and he was in a hour for 22, almost one half of the total from the bat. The opening of the Lancashire innings was hardly more promising. Four of the most dangerous batsmen were out with the total only 22, and but for a determined stand by A. Ward and Paul, the side would have fared little better than their opponents. As it was, the two professionals by really good cricket put on 63 runs for the fifth wicket, and their partnership produced 1 more run than Lan­ cashire’ s majority at the end of an innings. On a much faster wicket, Leicestershire were seen at the outset on Tuesday to better advantage, and at one time the total was 57 with two batsmen out. After this, however, the Lancashire bowlers carried everything before them, and as the eight remaining wickets only added 43, Lancashire was left with only 39 to win. Even this number, though, gave them considerable trouble, and it cost them three batsmen before the winning hit was made. Briggs and Pougher bowled with the best results for their respective sides. The former’s twelve wickets cost 66, Pougher’s seven wickets 46 runs. Lanca­ shire, who were without Mr. Hornby, Mr. A. C. Maclaren, and Watson, gave a trial to Ellis, a slow left-handed bowler. Bailey, a medium-pace bowler, made his first appear­ ance for Leicestershire in this match. L e ic e st e r sh ir e . First Innings.

After having slightly the worst of the first day’s play in this match, at Brighton, the Sussex eleven broke down so badly in the second innings that the game was completed before 4 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. This early conclusion was the more dissappointing as the proceeds are to go to Walter Humphreys, who has represented Sussex for over twenty years. Heavy rain prevented a commencement on Monday till nearly one o’clock, and then the wicket was, as was only to be expected, so slow that Sussex, who had the choice and went in first, found run-getting far from easy. Quaife and Marlow, the first two batsmen, were soon dismissed, but Mr. Newham and Bean improved matters considerably and at luncheon time the former was still in with the score 64 for three wiokets. On resuming, how­ ever, Roberts bowled with great success, and Mr. Newham received such small assistance that the total was only 79 when the eighth bats­ man was out. The tenth wicket, though, gave unexpected trouble, and Hilton hit out so freely that 37 runs were added. Mr. Newham, who went in second wicket down, was last out, having scored 67 out of 125 while he was in. He gave an easy chance to point when he had got 52, but this was the only flaw in an exceptionally good display of cricket, extend­ ing over two hours and a quarter. The brothers Grace opened Gloucestershire’s batting so well that 56 had been made in just under forty minutes when W .G. was bowled off his body. Mainly through E.M .’s resolute hit­ ting, the telegraph showed 100 with only two batsmen out. Humphreys’ lobs, however, puzzled the others so much that after E.M’s dismissal, at 108, wickets fell fast, and by the end of the day five more batsmen had been got rid of for an addition of 39 runs. Gloucestershire were then 11 runs to the good with three wickets in hand, and as on Tuesday morning the inn­ ings was finished off for an increase of 18 Sussex were, after all, only 29 runs to the bad. The heavy rain of Monday night, followed by bright sunshine on the following morning, however, had affected the ground so much that the second day’s play proved a great disappointment. When Sussex went in a second time Roberts and Woof proved very effective, and the former, who got up at times very nastily, was particularly successful. A little free hitting by Mr. Smith, and the steady play of Humphreys, formed the only relief to some uninteresting batting, and the latter saw six batsmen retire during his stay of fifty minutes at the wickets. Though they only wanted 30 to win, Gloucestershire lost four batsmen before the task was ac­ complished, Sussex in the end having to put up with its first defeat of the year by six wickets. Roberts, as already stated, bowled with extraordinary success. In the match he took twelve wickets for 59 runs, and his figures in the second innings of Sussex (94 balls for 16 runs and seven wickets) were remarkable. Painter, it will be seen, made five catches at short slip, four of them from Ro- berts’ bowling. The Earl of Sheffield has headed Humphreys’ subscription list with £100. S ussex First Innings.
