Cricket 1891

896 ORIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME; SEPT. 3, 1891 ESSEX v. LANCASHIRE, The Lancashire Eleven brought flfeeir pro­ gramme to a close on the Essex Ground at Leyton on Saturday last, when they beat the home team by an innings and 45 runs. Continuous rain prevented a commencement on Thursday, and under such circumstances the first innings was bound to be of con­ siderable advantage. Unfortunately for Essex, luck was against them in the toss, and the earlier batsmen of Lancashire made such good use of their opportunities while the wicket was easy that the score at one time showed 130 with only one batsman out. The foundation of their total of 211 , which occupied them a little over three hours, was laid by Mr. McLaren and Ward. In twenty minutes these two made 85 runs, of which number the latter’s share was 58, an excellent innings though marred by a chance in the long field when he had got eight. Mr. McLaren had a busy time of it while in with Sugg, and in half-an-hour fifty runs were added to the score. The amateur was third out at 163, of which he had contributed 68 . It was not, however, a display up to his best form, and, indeed, he was favoured by more than a fair amount of luck, though at the interval 186 runs had been scored with only four wickets down, the later batsmen could do nothing on the drying wicket, and in a little over half-an-hour the innings was finished, the last six wiokets only adding 25 runs. Essex had to bat on Friday afternoon under the greatest disadvantages, and the pitch under the influence of the sun had become so diffioult that the whole side were dismissed in under the hour for 85 runs. Briggs and Mold bowled with extraordinary success with the wicket to help them, and the honours were divided with Briggs rather the better analysis. Following on in a minority of 176 a much better show was made. The improvement was due to the spirited batting of Messrs. Owen and Buxton, who put on 62 runs for the second wicket. When play was resumed on Saturday Essex still wanted 99 runs to save the innings, and this in spite of the excellent cricket of Mr. Buxton and the vigorous hitting of Pickett at the finish they failed to accomplish. Briggs and Mold again had good figures. In the match the former took ten wickets for 66 runs. Pickett had the best analysis on the Essex side, his six wickets costing just over twelve runs apieoe.

The season on the Trent Bridge Ground at Nottingham came to a close on Saturday last under anything but pleasant conditions. Owing to the heavy rainfall it was not possible to make a commencement on Thursday,and as a thunderstorm during the luncheon interval limited the play on the following afternoon to an hour and a half, there was only a remote chance of the match being brought to a definite finish. Notts, who had during the short time crioket lasted on Friday, made 38 for the loss of two of their best batsmen (Flowers and Gunn), found the wicket very treacherous when play, which was delayed by rain till past twelve o’clock, was resumed on Saturday. None of them, indeed, could make any stand against the fine bowling of Hearae, who took all the eight wickets that fell on Saturday at a cost of only 17 runs, a perform­ ance of remarkable merit even making allow­ ance for the condition of the ground. Mid­ dlesex were also seen to better advantage when they went in to bat, and although the bulk of the runs were made by three batsmen, still their total of 97, whioh occupied a little over two hours, was a very creditable performance under the circumstances. The majority of the runs it will be seen were made off Flowers, Barnes, and Shacklock, and Attewell,who had an excellent analysis, was the only one of the Nottingham bowlers who was really difficult. He kept an excellent length throughout the innings, his six wickets only costing 35 runs. Going in late on Saturday in a minority of IB, Nottshad lost twc batsmen andwere only 9runs on when the game ended. Shrewsbury, whose scoring in recent matches has been one of the features of the Beason, was this time very un­ successful. He only scored 27 in his two innings,and his first should have been curtailed had it not been for a mistake of the wicket­ keeper: Mr. J. A. Dixon was unable to play, and Eichard Daft again appeared in the Nottinghamshire eleven, which was captained by Mr. C. W . Wright. N OTTINGHAMSHIRE. First Innings.
