Cricket 1891

298 CEICKET s A WEEKLY EECOED OP THE GAME; JULY 30, 1891 Gloucestershire were only beaten after a very plucky up-hill fight by four wickets. Mr. W . G. Grace, it will be remembered, had strained his knee badly when playing at Glasgow a fortnight or so before, and though he helped his County in two matches subsequently, an entire rest was so essential that he had to give up all idea of assisting the side at Manchester. A noteworthy feature of the match was the appearance in the Lancashire eleven of W. Pilling, a younger brother of the great stumper, who kept wicket in the place of Mr. Kemble, and with no small success. L an cash ire . First Innings. Barlow, b Murch ..........18 A.

After three days of interesting cricket the first match of the season between these Counties came to a conclusion at Tonbridge on Saturday evening, ending without any great advantage to either side. Though there was a heavy downfall on Thursday morning, delaying a commencement until nearly two o’clock, the wicket was not appreciably affected thereby. On the contrary, Kent, who were in full strength, found so little difficulty in the bowling of Notts, that by the end of the day 292 runs had been ^scored for the loss of only six batsmen. The credit of this excellent per­ formance rested with Messrs. Marchant, Fox, Rashleigh, who made his first appearance of the season in an important match, and Alec Hearne. In different styles Mr. Marchant and Hearne played capital cricket, adding 146 for the second wicket. Mr. Marchant was in his best vein for hitting. At one time he scored 50 runs in half-an-hour, and altogether 89 out of 146 in a little under an hour and a half without a mistake. Heame’s 59 occupied him two hours and twenty minutes. Mr. Fox, who helped Mr. Marchant at one time to make 75 runs in thirty-five minutes, was not out at the end of the day with 53 to his credit. On the following morning he continued to score fast, and was last man out with the total at 382, having made 103 out of 200 while he was in, Altogether he was batting three hours, and there was no fault of any kind to mar a most brilliant display of sound and judicious batting. This is Mr. Fox’ s first score of three figures for Kent. Though they had to go in against a score of nearly four hundred, the Notts batsmen were generally seen to ad­ vantage. After Mr. Wright had been dis­ missed for a single, Shrewsbury and Gunn became partners, and the pair put on 78 while they were together. The former, who went in first, was fifth out at 231. He was in nearly four hours for his 82, and with the exception of a chance to short slip at 64, there was no fault of any kind to be found with his batting. Later on Flowers hit freely, and was still in when play ceased on Friday, having con­ tributed 56 to the total of 242 for six wickets. Thanks mainly too, to his brilliant hitting on Saturday, though Sherwin, owing to an injured hand, was unable to bat, Notts were able.to get within 36 of Kent’s total. Flowers, who carried out his bat for 116, has rarely been seen to better advantage for the County. An idea of the rate at which he scored can be gathered from the fact that he was only batting for a little over three hours. His hitting was equally well timed all round the wicket, and though he ought to have been twice caught in the long field, both chances were given after he had got seventy. As Notts were not out until after half-past twelve o’clock on Saturday, there was little or no chance of finishing the game. Though when they went in a second time Kent started badly, Mr. Fox again played capital cricket, and with useful assistance from Messrs. Marchant and Patterson the total had been raised to 120 for fivewickets when the captain closed his innings. As there only remained 55 minutes for play when Notts went in again, there was really no chance of a win for Kent, and although three wickets were down for 27, the addition of 38 by Gunn and Barnes brought the game to a close. In all 913 runs were scored for 27 wickets, another testimony to the excellence of the Tonbridge wicket. K e n t . First Innings. G. G. Hearne, c Barnes, b Flowers 6 W.

Though several well-known players were unable to take part in this match, played on the ground of the Lyric Club, at Barnes, on Friday and Saturday, some excellent cricket was shown. In the two days 717 runs were scored for twenty-eight wickets. The draw was by no means uneven, the Old 177 runs on with two wickets to fall. O lu E tonians . First Innings. Mr. C. I.
