Cricket 1891

AUG. 20, 1891 CRIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 358 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SOMERSET­ SHIRE. Following up their brilliant victory over Surrey, at Taunton, the Somersetshire eleven this week gave another proof of the excellence of their all-round cricket, defeating Glouces­ tershire for the second time this season at Cheltenham on Tuesday, by an innings and 130 runs. Rain limited the game on Monday to practically two hours, and in this time Gloucestershire, under the disadvantage of a wet wicket and slippery ball, fared so badly that 142 runs were scored with only two wickets gone, Somersetshire made a bad start, losing their Captain, Mr. Hewett, without scoring. The Gloucestershire bowlers were, however, so heavily handicapped by the wet that L. Palairet and Challen were able to make runs very fast, and when the latter was caught at long-on for a finely hit 79, the score had been increased by 138, of which 83 had been got in the last hour. The rain, which had inter­ rupted play twice, once in the morning and again from two o’clock till 4.45, stopped the game altogether on the fall of the second wicket, Mr.Palairet being still in with 62 runs to his credit. On Tuesday he continued to play equally fine cricket, and he had just completed his hundred when he was caught at point. Going in first he was seventh out at 230, and his innings, which lasted three hours and a half,was not marred by a mistake of any kind. Of the other batsmen the only one to show to any advantage was the younger Palairot, and the two brothers were responsible for 67 of the 113 added by the last eight wickets. By the time Gloucester­ shire went in to bat, the wicket under a hot sun had become very difficult and the Somersetshire bowlers had things all their own way. Mr. Woods and Tyler, who were unchanged, were indeed altogether too much for the Gloucestershire batsmen, and so successfully did they perform that in fifty minutes the first innings was completed for a total of 25, the smallest score Gloucestershire has as yet made. In the follow-on, though Messrs. Radcliffe and Croome hit with great determination, no other stand was made, and four of the eleven were accountable for 71 out of 97 from the bat. The bowling of Mr.Woods and Tyler was mainly responsible for Somersetshire’s easy victory. The latter, who was unchanged throughout the match, took ten wickets for seventy runs. Mr. Woods’ eight wickets cost 46 runs. S o m e r s e t s h ir e . Mr.L.C. H. Palairet, c E.M. Grace,bWoof ICO Mr. H. T. Hewett, b W oof........................ 0 Mr. J. B. Challen, c PuUen, b W. G.

Though again successful in the toss, still the Sussex eleven were seen to such dis­ advantage in their return match with York­ shire, begun at Brighton on Monday, that the game was over on the second evening, play having been extended half an hour beyond the usual time to admit of a finish that night. The ground at the commencement was a trifle slow from recent rains, but with the exception of that of Marlow, Jesse Hide, and Mr. Smith, the batting proved disappointing, and the Yorkshiremen were only in the field two hours and thirty-five minutes. The three Sussex batsmen named between them contributed 97 of the total of 139. Marlow, who batted with great care, was in an hour and a half, and Mr. Smith, towards the close of his innings, hit with great freedom. Although Yorkshire began badly in losing Hall and Wardall for three runs between them, Ulyett and Peel gave such a brilliant exhibition of batting that the game took a turn altogether in favour of the in-side.In spite of frequent changes of bowling both men continued to play most brilliant cricket, and at the end of the day they were still in—having added 144 runs—Ulyett 86 , Peel 74. Ulyett gave a hard chance in the slips when he had made 23, but afterwards the fieldsmen had nothing to blame themselves for, and so fast did the batsmen score that 73 runs were added in the last thirty-five minutes. Heavy rain fell during Monday night, but the ground did not suffer so much as might have been ^expected. Continuing on Tuesday the not-outs put on 65 before Ulyett was caught at the wicket, having increased his score by 23 runs. Since Wardall’s dismissal the previous afternoon, 180 had been added, and Ulyett’s 109, which took him two hours and forty minutes, was a fine display of good defence and brilliant hitting, only spoiled by the chance mentioned. Peel stayed till the total was 339, and was then stumped from a lob, the ninth wicket to fall. While he hit with freedom on Monday, the latter part of his innings ,was marked by great care. Altogether he was in four hours aud twenty minutes, and except one chance, to mid off, when he had got 110 , his play was faultless. Sussex, wanting 212 to save the innings, only improved slightly on their previous show. Mr. Smith, of the Oxford eleven, bowled his fastest, and proved very successful, taking five wickets for 40 runs. Towards the close, Mr. Andrews hit resolutely, but except by Marlow, Hide, and Humphreys, no stand was made by the earlier batsmen, and Yorkshire had in the end a very decisive victory by an innings and 55 runs.
