Cricket 1891

222 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 2, 1891 NORTH v. SOUTH. Though their match with Derbyshire pre­ vented any of the Yorkshire eleven from assisting the North, and several other leading players were absent from each side, still the elevens for this match, begun at Birmingham onMonday, were, on the whole, fairly repre­ sentative. The North had the good fortune to win the toss on a hard wicket, and of this they took full advantage. The feature of the innings was the fine batting of Gunn, who was so well supported by Mr, de Trafford, Barnes, and Pougher that at lunch-time the 100 went up for the loss cf three wickets. Still Mr. L. C. Docker proved the most useful partner to Gunn, and 54 were put on for the sixth wicket, the famous Nottingham professional batting in beautiful style. Attewell also stayed with him some time, and hit well, while at 219 for nine wickets an unexpected stand was made by Lilley, the eleventh batsman. The War­ wickshire wicket-keeper hit with great resolu­ tion and punished the bowling severely, Gunn meanwhile being intent upon carrying his bat out, which he succeeded in doing. Altogether, the total reached the formidable sum of 292, or 73 for the last partnership, when Lilley was dismissed for a hard-hit 44. Gunn took out his bat for 125, which may be characterised as one of the very finest innings of his long career. Going in first wicket down, he stayed in for four hours and five minutes, and as far as we could see without a chance. Mr. Ferris and Read opened the batting for the South, and on Monday evening when play ceased had scored fourteen without the loss of a wicket. On Tuesday a comparatively short day’s cricket was witnessed, owing to heavy showers, which necessitated a late start, and caused the ground, although it had been covered over with tarpaulin, to play slowly. When play ceased the South with one wicket in hand had scored 203, thus wanting ten runs to save the follow-on. Dr, Grace, to the great disappointment of the spectators, gave little trouble, and the highest scorers proved to be Messrs. Ferris and Radcliffe, the latter of whominfused some life into the game, though his innings was not free from chances. In strong contrast was the slow cricket of Quaife, who, though he made 22, was in for an hour before he scored. On ithe whole there was nothing very noteworthy in the batting, and, indeed, most of the eleven found Attewell very diffi­ cult to play. Chieflv through the assistance of Diver, who it will be remembered played for Surrey first as an amateur and subse­ quently as a professional, the follow-on was saved yesterday, seventeen being added thirteen by Diver, before Wright was bowled In a majority of 72 the North commenced their second innings, as before, with Shrews­ bury and Mr, de Trafford, but after three runs had been made rain stopped play. As the down-pour continued the game was abandoned at four o’clock, the North, who were 75 on with their ten wickets in hand having, of course, all the best of the draw, N o r t h . First Innings.

U l y e t t .......... DERBYSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. The Derbyshire eleven, who succeeded in claim ng a very creditable victory in the first match of the season with Yorkshire at Leeds, were se n to equal advantage in the return brought to a premature conclusion by rain yesterday at Derby. The run-getting on both sides showed a good average, and, indeed, 662 runs were scored in all for twenty-five wickets, or an average of over twenty-six runs for each batsman. The choice of innings fell to Derbyshire and Mr. Wright, who has no been able to help the County lately, and Chatterton made such good use of their opp rtunities that ahundred was up with only one wicket down. Subsequently Storer hit freely,but otherwise the later batsmendidlittle and the total after all only reached 212. Mr. Wright and Chatterton added 99 while they were together, and both played fine cricket, though the amateur ought to have been caug t at cover-point when he had made 37, Yorkshire, who had scored 38 for the loss of wo batsmen (Lord Hawke and Hall), on Monday night, fared much better on the fol­ lowing morning, and their innings, which lasted three hours and three-quarters, pro­ duced a total of thirteen runs in excess of th t of Derbyshire. The chief credit of their performance rested with Ulyett and Wardall, These two batsmen contributed 119 out of 213 from the bat, and both showed great free­ dom, Wardall was twice missed, but Ulyett, who was in two hours, made nothing like a mistake in getting his 76, When Derbyshire went in a second time Mr. Wright and Chat­ terton again showed admirable cricket, and when play ceased on Tuesday night, 144 runs ha been got with only three batsmen out. Yesterday Chatterton re'ceivedvaluable assist­ ance from Storer, and when rain stopped the game 71 runs hadbeen addedfor the dismissal of two more batsmen, The game was thus dra n, with Derbyshire 202 runs on, and half their wiokets in hand. Chatterton was batting for three hours and a half, and again his play was of the most masterly description, free from anything like a chance. • O. M. R. W. O. M. R. W.
