Cricket 1891

874 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. AUG. 27, 1891 SURREY v. WARW ICKSHIRE. In view of their last important engagement of the season to begin to-day, the Surrey captain deemed it advisable to take a rest himself as well as to leave out Mr. W. W. Read, Lohmann, and Wood for this match, commenced at theO val onMonday. The absence of the quartette named enabled the Committee to try Mr. Fry, this year’sRepton captain,who made his first appearance in County cricket, Ayres, Osman, and Wood. On the other hand Warwickshire was not able to collect its best eleven, with Messrs. L. C. Dooker, H. G. Hill, as well as Law and Lilley away. The wioket at the outset was slow from the heavy rain of Sunday, and though Abel and Read put on 59 for the first wicket, W est’ s bowling was so successful that Surrey’s the score was 87 with half the side out. The only feature of the latter part of the innings was the stand of Mr. Key and Brockwell for the sixth wicket. These two batsmen added 91 while they were together,and both batted in free style, neither allowing a possible chance of scoring to escape. Warwickshire, in spite of a bad start, thanks to Mr. Hill had made 54 for the loss of five wickets. Then came an extraordinary collapse, and the remaining batsmen all fell without the addition of a run, Lockwood taking the last four batsmen with successive balls, the last of one and the first three of the next over. Going in again on Monday night Warwickshire had scored five without the loss of a wicket before play ceased. On the following morning, however, they fared so badly for a time that when the fifth batsman went the total was only 48. Though the wicket had never been really difficult, a little rain made it still easier, and West, Collishaw and Bates were seen to much better advantage. Still the cricket generally was slow, and the result, which was in favour of Surrey by ten wickets, was never in doubt. Owing to a severe blow to his finger on Monday night Mr. Brien was unable to bat on Tuesday, and Mr. Hill feeling unwell had to retire for a time though able later on to resume his innings.

It is now nineteen years since the Incogs first turned their footsteps to the W est, and the Tour is still m ost popular among the members of the club, while we believe we are justified in saying that the visit of the wan­ derers is muoh anticipated and appreciated by their friends in Somerset and Devon. This year, in accordance with the usual custom, the campaign opened on Bank H oli­ day, 3rd August, at Mr. W . H . Laverton’s pretty ground at W estbury. In the first innings the Incogs were rather overawed by the reputation of Ferris, but did themselves m ore justice afterwards, and eventually the match ended in a not very uneven draw. The kindness and hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Laverton were, as usual, most lavishly and generously dispensed. A t Bath, the wanderers scored a victory, the Lansdown Club not being quite so strongly represented as usual. Browning played a fine innings and M iller was very muoh “ on the spot.” The next match, at W ellington, also resulted in a single innings victory, though the home side played up moat pluckily. The wicket was in perfect condition, and of this the two old Marlburians, B row ning and Poynton, took full advantage, scoring 155 for the first wicket. A t Torquay, rain on the second day spoilt the match and enabled the hom e team , who overnight had lost five wickets for 91, to head the “ tourists ” on the first innings. The match however was drawn. E xm outh saw the Incogs score a third win by five wickets, the hom e team having to follow on. E . Matheson played two very fine innings, and it was a source of m uch regret that an injury to his knee prevented him from com ing on to Sidmouth. Here the hom e side were, as usual, very strong, and the Incogs, for the first tim e since leaving W estbury, scored less than 200 in an innings. They had slightly the worst of the weather and wicket, but eventually managed to draw the match. In the concluding match, at Seaton, the luck all through was dead against the wan­ derers. On the first day they had to bowl and field with a wet ball while their opponents batted on a most easy wicket, whilst on the second day a hot sun so affected the ground that Douglas and F ox were almost unplay­ able. Thanks, however, to the stand made by Martyn and W elch, defeat was averted. The Seaton umpire was most unsatisfactory, though a m ost valuable man to his own side ! The record of the Tour was therefore three wins, and four drawn matches. In respect of cordiality and good fellowship it was success­ ful all round. The scores are appended, IN COGN ITI v. MR. W . H.
