Cricket 1891

JULY 9, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 241 KENT v. SUSSEX. The greatly improved form shown this year by the Sussex eleven was further exemplified in this match begun at Tonbridge on Thurs­ day. Winning the toss they went in first on a splendid wicket and utilised it to such an extent that when play ceased at the end of the day theyhadmade 354 runswith only eight of the side out. The credit of this excep­ tionally brilliant performance rested with three players, Mr. Newham, Bean, and Mr. George Brann, who contributed no fewer than 253 runs between them. Bean and his captain, who becamepartners when the first wicket had fallen for 21, were still together at lunch time, when they had increased the score by 99. This number they almost doubled after the interval. Bothbatsmenhitmostbrilliantly, and as many as 181 had been put on before they were separated. Bean, who was the first to go, in about three hours had scored 97 without a mistake, and it was unfortunate that he should just fail to reach the hundred. Quaife helped Mr. Newham to add 36 for the third wicket, and at 238 the amateur was dismissed. His 105 occupied him, like Bean, just three hours, and was also free from faults—in fact, he has never -played a finer innings. Mr. Brann, who succeeded, fully maintained the rate of run-gelting, and his 51 was another creditable display of free cricket. He received too, useful assistance from Humphreys, who was not out with 29 to his credit when stumps were drawn onThursday night. The first day of the match was the only one that allowed of uninterrupted cricket, as rain interfered considerably with the later stages of the match. A heavy downpour prevented a resumption till twelve o’clock on Friday, and then Butt and Humphreysmade runs sofreely that the score rose at a great rate, In forty- five minutes 73 runs were added, and then Butt, who had shown unexpected powers of hitting, was out lbw for an exceedingly well played 43. Humphreys ultimatelycarried out his bat for 63, a most exemplary exhibition of all-round cricket. He was only in an hour and thirty-five minutes, and as far as we oould see his innings was free from a mistake. Martin was the most successful on the Kent side, but he was very expensive, his three wickets costing 118. Going in against a big score of 431 the home teammade a bad start, Mr. Weigall being easily caught at short slip with the total at eight. Mr, Marchant, his successor, however, hit out in his most brilliant form, and after lunoheon ten minutes produced 27 runs. Here, though, heavy rain stopped play for the day with the total 83 for one wicket, Mr. Marchant not out 61, and Alec Hearne not out 18. On Satur­ day, too, rain only admitted of a little over an hour of actual cricket, during which time Kent’s total was increased by 104 runs for the loss of four batsmen. Soon after play had been resumed, a heavy shower caused a retire­ ment, and there was another interval of over half an hour from the same cause. Mr. Marchant continued to hit in fine style, and his partnership with Alec Hearne realised 125 runs for the secondwicket. Hearne, who was batting an hour and a half, was the first to leave, playing on with the total at 133. Mr. Daffen was bowled without a run, and then Mr. Fox stayed with Mr. Marchant till the latter was caught at 177. He had made 123 out of 177 while he was in, and an idea of the vigour of his hitting may be gathered fromthe fact that ha was only batting two hours, and that his score contained but sixteen singles. A finer display of well-timed, all-round hitting has rarely if ever been seen, as can be understood when we say that there was no chance to be urged against it. No play was possible after luncheon, and the game had to be abandoned in a very incomplete state. As it was 623 runs were scored for fifteenwickets, f iving an average of over forty-one runs, ean, whose batting had been one of the great features of the innings of Sussex, was also successful with the ball, getting three of the five Kent wicket3 for 39 runs.

Though theymade an excellent show in the early part of the game, the Durham eleven were subsequently outplayed in this match, begun at Sunderland on Friday. Durham were only 29 behind on the first innings, but their comparative failure when they went in a second time enabled Yorkshire to claim an easy victory in the end, with six wickets to spare. Mr. H. S. Crosby, an old Shirburnia*, and F. Butler, who played for Notts, were the chief scorers. On the other side Hall just got into three figures, and Cartman played two very useful innings, making 79 for onoe out. Wainwright’s bowling in the second innings was one of the most remarkable incidents of the game. In thirty balls he took five wickets at a cost of only five runs. D urham . First Innings. Mr. J. F.

The Winchester eleven showed to greater advantage at all points in this match, played at Eton on Friday and Saturday, and won with five wickets to spare. Their batting was singularly level, and Rix of the eleven contributed double figures to their first total of 209. Mr. Arkwright batted well for Eton each time, and his stand with Mr. Hoare in the second innings was one of the best features of thematch. The bowling of Messrs. Wigram, Morres, who was only played as a substitute for Mr. J. R. Mason, and Case, con­ tributed in a great measure to Winchester’s victory. On the losing side Mr. Hoare was the most successful bowler. E to n . First Innings. Mr. G. R. Brewis, c Lewis, bMorres ...................1 Mr.R. A.
