Cricket 1891

JULY 16, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 2 G1 SUSSEX v. NOTTS. The improved form shown by the Sussex eleven gave additional interest to their first matob of the season with Notts, which occupied the Sussex County ground the latter part of last week. The game, too, provedto be a worthy successor to some of its immediate predecessors in the matter of run-getting, whichwas so abnormallyhighas to realize 1136 runs in the three days for the actual loss of only thirty-four wickets. Notts, who were without their captain, Mr.J. A. Dixon, had the good luck to win the toss, and were batting for four hours and twenty minutes. During this time they made 301, so that the rate of scoring thoughout was considerably above the average The chief features of the innings were the stand of Mr. Wright and Gunn, who put on 105 for the secondwicket, and later on the good cricket of Barnes and Attewell. Mr. Wright was in an hour and forty minutes, Gunn and Barnes twenty minutes longer. No fault could be found with either of the three innings, while Attewell, who made 56 of the last 96 in an hour and a quarter, hit with great freedom. Sussex, who had a little over an hour for batting on Monday, in this time scored79, of which Bean and Marlow contri­ buted 51 in just over half-an-hour, for the loss of three batsmen. Bean, who continued tohit in brilliant fashion, onFriday, however, found no onebut Mr. Wilson to stay withhim, andhe performed the rare feat of carrying his bat through the innings. This lasted just under threehourslanda-half, sothatBeanwas batting for that period, during which he scored him­ self 145 out of 246 or nearly two-thirds of the total. T^hough he ought to have been caught in the slips at 14 andagain at point when he had got 140, considering tho quality of the bowling, it was a display of superlative excellence. Baggaley, a youngster of very diminutive stature, who reached his eighteenth birthday on Fridav,and made his debut against Derbyshire on June 16, bowled with great success, taking six wickets for 74 runs. He bowls left-hand medium pace, and as he uses his head and varies his pitch with judgment bids fair to be of use. When Notts went in a second time 65 runs to the good, a remarkable display of batting was given by Gunn and Shrewsbury. Becoming partners with the score twenty for one wicket they had not been separated when stumps were drawn on Friday, having added 266, of which Shrewsbury’s score was 136, Gunn’s 141. On Saturday the two great batsmen of Notts were together for fifty minutes, in which time they succeeded in adding 46 runs, bringing the aggregate of their partnership to 312. They thus failed to reach their record against Sussex at Trent Bridge last year by 86. Shrewsbury was the first to go, caught at mid-off. He had been three hours and fifty minutes at the wicket, and in his score of 163, the eighteenth innings of overa hundred he has played for Notts, there was not a semblance of a mistake. As is often the case with a long partnership, Gunn soon followed, bowled by Humphreys 8 runs later. His innings of four hours’ duration was in every wayworthy of that of Shrewsbury. Like his partner, he played all the bowling with the greatest confidence as well as judgment, and a finerexhibition of masterly and elegant batting no one couldwish to see. Owing to an injury to his knee, wemay add, hewas allowed some one to runfor him. After Flowers had been bowled by a slow, Mr. Wright closed the innings at 12.45 with the total 340, leaving Sussex with 396 to win. Though with only five hours left this was an almost im­ possible task, Marlow and Bean bit with suchpluck and confidencethat eightyruns had been got in fifty minutes when the former was stumped. Bean continued to score as fast as ever, andwhen hewas out after an hour and forty minutes the total was 159. Of this number Bean had contributed 92, thus failing to accomplish the feat, alone recorded to Mr. W. G, Grace, of scoring two hundreds in a first class County match. The vigeur of his hitting was sustained to the very last, and his play on the off-side in particular was very fine. In the matoh, it will be seen, he scored 237 runs. After this, however, no one but Messrs. Brannand Wilson, who added 44 runs in fif yminutes, gave the Nottinghambowlers any trouble, so that notwithstanding an excellent fight Sussex were after all beaten by 144 runs.
