Cricket 1891

816 CRIOKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 6, 1891 W A RW IC K SH IR E v. Y O R K SH IR E . Though they won the toss at Birm ingham on M onday, aud were able to bat first while the wicket was fairly easy, W arwickshire made so little use of their opportunities that Yorkshire were able to get the upper hand and retain it to the end. W arwickshire in their first innings lost half their wickets for 17 runs, and it was only some good hitting by Mr. Everett, who contributed 36 out of 47 while he was batting, that enabled the side to reach the moderate total of 75. W hen the Yorkshirem en went in to bat late on the first day, the wicket was a little m ore diffioult, and though Hall batted w ith characteristic caution, Leake bowled w ith such success that when rain stopped play shortly before the usual hour, six batsmen had been dismissed for 69 runs. The pitch in the early part of the following day was m ore in favour of the bowlers, and fourteen wiokets fell for an aggregate of 184 runs. The remaining batsmen of Yorkshire added 40 runs, and onoe m ore H all perform ed the rare feat of carrying his bat through the innings, which was of tw o hours and twenty m inutes' duration. In a m inority of 34 runs, W arwickshire in their second innings again fared badly, the soore when the fifth w icket fell being only 33. Subsequently, however, Leake hit freely, and the last half of the side nearly trebled the total, adding 61 runs. A heavy rainfall made the wicket easier for Yorkshire, who wanted 61 to win, and as the runs were got for the loss of tw o batsmen, Warwickshire were beaten by eight wickets. Harrison and W ainw right bowled w ith great effect for Yorkshire, and Leake's figures in Yorkshire’s first innings Were particularly noteworthy. W e m ay add that neither county was well represented. Hall, it w ill be seen, was notout in both innings. W arwickshire . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. H. W .

Though the Nottinghamshire eleven have not been doing quite so well this season as a few years ago, the experience of this week’s match at the Oval proves conclusively that the matches between the two Counties still attract general interest. Though no effort was of course spared to place the best elevens in the field, owing to injuries each side had a notable player absent, Maurice Read from the Surrey, and Arthur Shrewsbury from the Nottinghamshire team. The introduction of Mr. E . C. Streatfeild enabled Surrey to utilise, with Read’s exception, the players who have generally assisted this season. In Shrews­ bury’s absence the Notts Committee thought it advisable to give a place to the veteran Richard tDaft, who, though an absentee from county matches for ten years, has kept up his cricket, and had been scoring heavily just lately in local matches. Mr. Shuter’s remark­ able luck in the toss this season did not forsake him on this important occasion, and Surrey had the advantage of batting on Monday on a wicket kept easy in the afternoon by several showers. At the outset the ground was slow, and the start was unpromising, Messrs. Shuter and Streatfeild being out with only seven runs scored. Mr. Read, who has not been seen to better advantage this year, and Abel, however, by very fine cricket improved Surrey’ s position materially, and their stand, which resulted in an addition of 67 runs, was invaluable. After luncheon a heavy shower made the wicket easy again, and Lohmann hit with such confidence and resolution that when he was out 59 had been added,of which his own share was 43. He gave one chance in the slips when he had got 37, but this was the only fault to detract froma most opportune and well j udged innings. After the dismissal of Abel,who was seventh out, there was no batting worthyof note, and the innings finally closed for 176. Abel was batting nearly three hours without a mistake, and his 49 was a fine display of sound and watchful cricket. Notts had an hour left for batting on Monday, and in this time scored 34 for the loss of Mr. Dixon and Flowers. Though on Tuesday morning play was only possible for fifty minutes, this proved sufficient to dispose of four more batsmen. Gunn played well for his 30, but except the veteran Daft, who received a great reception when he appeared, there was no other batting to call for comment. A very heavy hailstorm broke over thegrouiid about luncheon time, and though the captains waited till half-past four o’clock in hope of a renewal, the umpires decided that the ground would not be fit for the rest of the day. Notts had yesterday 27 runs to save the follow-on with four wickets to fall, and their chance of a good fight was settled when the innings, which had lasted two hours and a quarter, closed for an addition of only 16, the state of the ground having delayed a commencement for forty-five minutes. The small score of Notts was mainly due to the fine bowling of Lockwood, who took five wickets in twelve overs at a cost of only eight runs, a wonderful performance. With the wicket favouring the bowlers Notts had small chance of saving the innings, and had Barnes been caught in the long field four of the best bats­ men would have been out for seven runs. As it wa# no one else offered any resistance to the bowling cf Lockwood and Lohmann, and as the last five wickets all fell at 44, Surrey had an easy win by an innings and 46 runs. Lohmann bowled with remarkable success at the finish, taking seven wickets for only 20 runs. Baggaley, who was out last never tried to play the ball which bowled him. On Monday 20,171 persons paid at the gate, on Tuesday 9,820, and yesterday 8,120 so that 38,111 were admitted by payment. Altogether close on 45,000 must have been present during tho three days. Richard Daft, we may add, is in his fifty-sixth year. We know of no other instance of a father and son playing for the County [at the >ame time _in an important ,match. S urrey .
