Cricket 1892

186 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JUNE 9, 1892 LANCASHIRE v. WARWICKSHIRE. Lancashire put such a strong eleven into the field at Manchester on Friday, that the match only extended an hour into the second day. Warwickshire, who were without their Captain, Mr. Bainbridge, batted first. Helped to some extent by the wicket, however, Watson and Mold bowled with great success, so much so that the total wa9 only 35 when the eighth wicket fell. A plucky stand by Pallett and Cresswell, who added 51 for the ninth wicket, was the only feature of the innings. The former played very well, carrying out his bat for 32, out of a total of 82. When Lancashire went in, the rate of run-getting was fast, two hours and twenty minutes realising 172 runs, lhe batting honours were borne off entirely by the amateurs, as the six professionals only contribute I 16 between them. Of the total, Messrs. M’Laren and Kemp were responsible lor 97. The former was only in forty minutes for his 53, a faultless display of free cricket, which in­ cluded nine fours. Cresswell sustained an injury wbile batting, and unfortunately his bowling was lost to Warwickshire. When Lancashire took the field a second time, 83runs to the good, Watson and Mold again proved so effective that four wickets fell for 14 runs before play ceased on Friday. On Saturday Mr. J. E. Hill made a few good hits, but the rest did little, and in an hour the match was over, leaving Lancashire the winners by an innings and 27 runs. Watson took ten wickets for 64, Mold nine for 71 runs.

Le Fleming, <vfarchant, Hamilton, and Fox. all showed good cricket, the two first*named adding 47 runs for the third wicket. The later batsmen, though, did little, and the innings closed for 161, of which lt l were made on Friday in two hours. Middlesex commenced their second innings with an advan­ tage of 17 runs, and as Messrs. Webbe and Stod­ dart were speedily disposed of, there seemed some chance of a good match. Mr. Scott, however, was this timo not so easily dismissed, and with Mr. Nepean the score was raised from 13 to 165 before the former was caught from a skyer on the off-side. It was thehardt st of luck that he did not reach his hundred, as his splendid innings of 98was without blemish, barring a hard chance low down on the leg side midway through his innings. He was at tbe wickets two hours and thirty-five minutes, and hit nine 4’s and seven 3’s. Coming so quickly after his score of 86 against Sussex, it would seem that Mr. Scott is this year in his test form. Mr. Nepean, who scored slowly and was three times missed in makin* 35, was out directly after. Mr. O’Brien and Rawlin, however, punished the Kent bowlers severely, adding in 45 minutes 54, of which the amateur’s share was 34. Though stumps were drawn for the day on Friday with the total 224 for six wickets, on Saturday the innings quickly closed for 253. Although they were left with 271 to win there were still hopes that Kent would m tke a fight. As it was, however, the batting proved to be very disappointing, and no one made any stand against Rawlin and Hearne excepting Mr. Knowles and Martin. These two contributed 61 out of 92. and curiously enough they were the]only batsmen who were not bowled. The amateur made 39 out of 62 by good and confident cricket. Martin’s vigorous 22 included one hit over the ropes for six. Raw­ lin and Hearne each took eight wickets in the match, but the latter had slightly the better average. Middlesex won by 178 run-.

Middlesex placed a stroug side in the field for their second first-class match of tho season, at Blackheath on Thursday last. The same could h irdly be said of Kent, as while Messrs. Patterson, Kemp, Rashleigh, and Let-lie Wi son were all unarle to take part in the match, illness also kept AlecJHearne away. In their ab­ sence further trials were tfiven Mr. Knowles and Lsaney, a left-hand medium pace bowler who h is ala » scored heavily for Bickley Park, made his first Appearance. T he-e were two changes it the Middles ix team from tha*; vht h defeated Sussex earlier in the week, Messrs. Nepean and H*neiy taking the place of Messrs. Vernon and Paravicini. Rain fell heavily on Thursday morning, so that a commencement was not possible until twenty minutes to three o clock. Middlesex went in first, and while the wicket was still wet and easy Messrs. Stod­ dart and Webbe scored freely, making 51 in forty- five minutes before the former was out. Mr. Webbe and Rawlin were both run out. and matters for a time went so well for Kent that the total was only 113 when the eighth wicket fell. West then treated the spectators to some vigorous hitting, and with Mr. Nepean added 68 runs. Of these West’s share was 42, which in­ cluded five 4’s. Mr. Nepean played excellent cricket, and carried out his bat for 47. Kent had fi teen minutes’ batting on Thursday, and in this time scored 23 without the loss of a wicket. On Friday the wicket helped the bowlers consider- ........18i K entiv First Inningp. Mr.W.L.Knowles,bHearne 5 Mr. C. V. B. Davy, b Hearne ........................32 Mr. J.
