Cricket 1891

JULY 23, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 277 NOTTS v. SUSSEX. After showing to great advantage in the early part of this match, commenced at Nottingham on Thursday, Sussex had to put up with a rather unexpected defeat on Satur­ day. Having had the good fortune to win the toss, they remained in throughout the day, totalling 283 for the loss of eight batsmen. Norwas this good scoring, against the power­ ful Nottingham bowling, at all of an uneven description. Only amoderate start was made, Bean and Marlow being out for 33. The partnership of Messrs. Newham and Wilson, however, proved to be prolific, and so well did they hit that by lunch time they had raised the score to 100, and were still together. Soon after the interval, Mr. Wilson, who had been in an hour and a half for 55, was dis­ missed after a useful stand whichhadresulted in an addition of 78 for the third wicket. Mr. Newham survived him some little time, and the score was raised to 172 before the Sussex captain had to leave, for an admirably played 61. That runs were difficult to get against the bowling of Notts may be judged by the fact that he was in nearly three hours and a half. Still he gave only one chance, and his batting was quite up to his best standard. Though Mr. Andrews and Hollands both had to leave at 177, Mr. Smith and Humphreys added 43 runs for the eighth wicket, and the latter and Butt stayed together until the drawing of stumps, when they had added 63. On Friday the full total was increased to 332 before the tenth wicket fell. The veteran Humphreys carried his bat out for a meritorious 43, while Butt in two hours hit up the highest score of the innings, 77. He made very few mistakes, and this is by far the best thing in batting the Sussex wicket-keeper has yet done for his county. Although from the first Shrewsbury seemed in fine form, Notts started badly, losingGunn, Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Robinson for 64 runs. Mr. Wright and Flowers, however, rendered him useful assistance, so much so that when Shrewsbury was sent back the score had been raised to 179 for seven wickets. His own share of this number was 75, for which the great batsman was at the wickets about three hours and forty minutes, and only gave one chance, when he had got 26. After his departure, Attewell and Shacklock increased the rate of run-getting by some fine, free hitting, though when stumps were drawn J5 runs were still needed to save the follow on, with one wicket to fall. On Saturday, how­ ever, Shacklock and Sherwin hit freely, and as the last pair added 26 runs the total realised 264. Now came the remarkable phase of the game. Sussex had a good lead of 68, so that there seemed every probability of their adding considerably to this number and declaring their innings closed. The wicket, however, had worn, particularly at one end, and Attewell and Shacklock took such full advantage of their opportunities that the side were dismissed in an hour and a quarter for 38. It should be stated that an injured hand prevented Butt from batting on Saturday, but so complete was the breakdown that his presence could have made very little difference. Attewell had remarkable figures, delivering seventy balls for six runs and four wickets. Notts had now a good chance of winning, as they wanted only 107 runs. Still, noticing the difficulties under which the Sussex batsmen had laboured, manv thought that the home team would have a far from easy task. This estimate, too, proved to be thoroughly well-found. Thanks to a mis­ take by Hollands, who was doingduty forButt at the wicket, in letting Mr.. Dixon off before he had scored, 22 were scored before the first wicket fell, and when the fourth batsman went 40 runs were still wanted. Messrs. Wilson and Smith, however, bowled finely, backed by excellent fielding, and the excitement grew intense when 20 were still needed with only three men to go. Still Attewell and Mr. Robinson kept cool at the crisis, and a splendidly contested match ended in favour of Sussex with only three wickets to spare. It will be seen that Mr. Brann was absent from the Snssex eleven. Sussex. First Innings.

The Yorkshire eleven suffered their third successive reverse at the Oval on Friday, when Surrey beat them for the second time this season with ten wickets to spare. Surrey, with the exception of the substitution of Mr. A. F. Clarke for Wood at the wicket, had its usual eleven, while Yorkshire was strengthened by the inclusion of Messrs Smith and Jackson. Once more fortunate enough to win the loss, Surrey made a good start, Mr. Shuter and Abel putting on 66 before the former was out. Excepting Mr. Key and Lockwood all the remaining batsmen got double figures, and the innings, which lasted till close on five o’clock on Thursday, realised the respectable total of 302. The best as w ll as the highest score on the side was that of Henderson, who carried out his bat for 54, ma e in thoroughly good style and with­ out a mistake. After their long outing York shire made a very disappointing show with the bat. Lohmann and Sharpe both bowled with great success, and in less than two hours they had succeeded in dismissing the York­ shire eleven for a small sum of 67. Peel was in three-quarters of an hour for his 25, but otherwise there was no batting at all worthy of praise. The out-cricket of Surrey was particularly good, and Mr. Clarke made three catches, two of them particularly good, at the wicket. Following on 235 to the bad York­ shire began badly on Friday, losing Ulyett with the total at twenty-three. Though Mr. Jackson lent Hall useful assistance the latter found no one else to stay with him, and when the fifth wicket fell the total was only 102. Wardall, whenhe settled down, however, played good cricket, and 46 were added before hewas caught at the wicket. Soonafter, Hall, who had played with characteristic fear, for­ getting his usual policy, went out to drive and was bowled. He had been batting just under two hours and three quarters, and bis score of sixty, though not faultless, was of the greatest value to the side. With eight wickets down for 169, and 66 stiil wanted to save the innings, Surrey’s victory seemed close at hand. Cart­ man and Wormald, however, showed very plucky cricket when the game appeared to be over, and by excellent batting 65 were added before Wormald was caught at slip. Finally, a hit for a couple by Harrison saved the innings, and then Cartman was finely caught at point, leaving Surrey with two to win, whichwere got by Messrs. Shuter and Key off four balls. Lohmann’s bowling figures for Surrey, it will be seen, were exceptionallygood. In the match he took twelve wickets for 112 runs. S urrey . First Innings.
