Cricket 1891

SEPT. 3, 1891 C K IC K E T : A W E E K L Y RE COED OF T H E GAME ; 397 U SURREY v. KENT. The Surrey eleven finished a very successful season in fitting style at the Oval on Saturday with a decisive victory over their neighbours and old rivals of Kent. The rain which pre­ vailed in most parts of England during Wednesday night and most of Thursday did not spare the Surrey ground, and the first day was a blank. Friday, however, brought fine weather, and though the pitch favoured the bowlers throughout, the crioket until the finish late on Saturday afternoon was full of interest. Mr. Shuter’s luck, which had recently deserted him, returned on this occasion, and Surrey had the advantage of going in first. The wioket, however, was even at the outset not particularly easy, and though Lockwood made 25 of the first 27 runs by good all-round cricket, the batsmen generally found it very difficult to score. Abel’ s 30 was decidedly the feature of Surrey’s batting. He never deviated from a strictly watchful game, and his innings, which lasted just under three hours, was invaluable to the side. Six of the eleven got double figures, but Aleo Hearne’s bowling was very puzzling, and the last four wickets only added eighteen runs. Going in against a total of 129 Kent made suoh a promising commencement that there seemed to be every chance of their reaching Surrey’s score. This promise was due to the spirited cricket of Mr. Marchant, who played quite the right game on the treacherous pitch. His free all-round hitting delighted the spectators immensely, and while he was there Kent’s prospects were very hope­ ful. A brilliant one-handed catch by L oh­ mann off his own bowling, however, dismissed him at 48, and Lockwood coming on at the other end proved so successful that by six o’clock seven batsmen had been got rid of for 78 runs. On Saturdaymorning fifteen minutes sufficed to bring the innings to a close for an addition of thirteen runs. A brilliant throw from cover-point by Sharpe ran out Mr. Patter­ son, and Wright and Martin were both bowled by Lockwood, who got the last four wickets. These were obtained in 43 balls at a cost of 21 runs, while Lohmann dismissed five bats­ men, the first five out, for under eight runs each. Surrey had a useful lead of 38runsto com­ mence their second innings, and this proved of great value to them. As it was, no-one but Mr. W . W . Read made any lengthy stand against the bowling of Martin and Alec Hearne. Mr. Read’ s 46 was in every sense a creditable display of batting under difficult conditions. He played with the greatest con­ fidence, and made the fullest use of his opportunities, never losing a chance of punishing a loose ball. Martin, who had been a failure in the first innings, was this time very successful, showing better figures than Hearne, though the latter again bowled very well. W ith 151 runs to win, and about two hours and forty minutes left for play, it was just on the cards that the finish might p ro­ duce a sensation. So it did, but hardly in the way expected. The Surrey men, fully alive to the importance of a great effort, were thoroughly on their mettle, and the finish proved to be most exciting. Lockwood’sbowling proved to be altogether too much for the Kent batsmen, and in seventy minutes the whole side had been dismissed for 45, leaving Surrey the winners by 146runs. Although he bowled at a great pace, Lockwood got a lot of break on, and his performance was a most remarkable one. He clean bowled seven wickets in sixty- one balls at a cost of only nineteen runs, and in the match altogether his record showed eleven wickets at an average of less than four runs a-pieoe. Lohmann also bowled with great success, takiug eight wickets for 63 runs. Surrey’s success naturally evoked great enthusiasm, and it was some time before the cheering which followed the return of the players to the Pavilion subsided. S urrey . First Innings. Abel, b A.
