Cricket 1892

214 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME* JUNE 16, 1892 for 79, had to field out whilst the"Asylumpiled on runs at a tremendous pace. Dr. A. H. Kidd (135) and M. Fripp (149) made 225 for the first wicket, and the latter reached his hundred after only fifty minutes’ play. At the finish Parson Crawford was not out 56, with the total 401, and only four batsmen out. The first hundred was reached in twenty-five minutes, the second in seventy- five, while the 401 only occupied three hours and five minutes. A s t r i k i n g instance of tlie common or garden “ rot ” of cricket is recorded in the Athletic News of this week. The match in question was between Hunslet and Wortley on June 8th. The former, after getting rid of the opposite side for 145, made that number for the loss of only four batsmen. The pro­ verbial uncertainty of the game, though, had to be reckoned with. It was unmistakably in evidence, for the six remaining wickets all fell without a run, and the result was a tie. I t is satisfactory to find that cricket was well represented in the Mathematical Tripos list at Cambridge issued last Friday. L. Tubbs of Caius., was the twenty-fifth wrang­ ler, and among the less successful were several more or less known in Cambridge cricket. Lauder, F. E., Granville v. Croydon, June 11 115 |Lucas, A.

S urrey ’ s excellent show at the Oval, at the end of the Middlesex match, favours the belief that they will have seriously to be reckoned with yet. It was an exceptionally fine achievement against bowlers who have been so successful this year as J. T. Hearne, Phillips, and Rawlin, to get 172 runs in the fourth innings for the loss of only two bats­ men, and what is more, in two hours, of itself a performance out of the common. T he most gratifying feature in the finish of the match, though, was Mr. W. W. Read’s re appearance in his best form. T he recent performances of the three Surrey amateurs make it appear as if some of their critics had been a little “ too previous” in their opinions.

Following up their victories over Sussex and Lancashire, the Yorkshire eleven added another to their successes in this year’s first-class Inter- County matches yesterday at Bradford, in their defeat of Kent. Yorkshire had much the same eleven as has represented it this season so far, while Kent were without Capt.Hamilton,as well as Messrs. W. H. Patterson andC. J. Fox. Yorkshire, winning the toss, had to bat first on a rather slow wicket, and, under the circum­ stances, did well, staying in for three hours and three quarters for a total of 200. Peel, Lord Hawke, and Mr.Sellara were all seen to advantage, and j ust at the end Hirst added 23in good style. The best batting, though, was that of Peel, who played with great care, being at the wickets two hours and a half for his fifty. Though when Kent went in the wicket had dried considerably, Alec Hearne was the only one of the earlier batsmen who did much, and when play ceased on Monday night 74 had been made in an hour and a half, at a cost of half the side. On the following morning, George Hearne lent his younger brother valuable assist­ ance, and 89had been added before the former was dismissed. Alec Hearne was out five runs later, the eighth wicket. His innings extended over two hours and fifty minutes, and his 61, which was only disfigured by one mistake, was an exce'lent exhibi- tionof defensive cricket. Withauseful majorityof 50 runs, Yorkshire began their second innings after luncheon on Tuesday, and during the rest of the afternoon scored 243 with only half the side out. The early part of the batting in no way indicated such success. When Mr. Sellars joined Moor- house, four wickets were down for 56, and it was their batting which broke down the Kent bowling. While they were together, 73 runs were added in an hour, and in the last seventy-five minutes Mr. Sellers and Wainwright put on 114. Yesterday the amateur, who was not out 88 overnight, only added four, and was then bowled. The sixth wicket had added 129 runs, and Mr. Sellars, who had teen in three hours and ten minutes, deserves the highest praise for his 92, a brilliant display of defensive and free hitting. Wainwrighb, who had been missed in tbe slips early in the morning, was finely caught at mid-off, with the total at 278. He had only been batting a few minutes over two hours for his 81, which was the outcome of free and resolute cricket. When the score was 3J5 for eight wickets, Lord Hawke closed his innings, and Kent had to go in a few minutes after one o'clock, wanting 356 to win. Mr. Braybrooke, who went in first with Alec Hearne, made 5J out of 64, and on his dismissal luncheon was taken. Hearne, after being in two hours and a half for 40, was bowled, and, though Martin subsequently hit freely, the last wicket fell at 219, leiving Yorkshire with a victory by 136 runs.
