Cricket 1892

JUN E 30, 1892 CRICKET r A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 251 previous five wins, this match looks as if Cambridge would once more compel Oxford to “ bite the dust.” P.S.—Cannot each county be persuaded to publish an Annual of its own ? Surrey and Kent do, but only for their respective subscri­ bers. Gloucestershire and their doiugs are duly chronicled for the modest sum of twopence. Notts used to be yearly written up by F. G. Spybey. But the only county that to-day does this useful work thoroughly is Norfolk. I have lately had sent me the fourth edition of the “ Norfolk Cricket Annual,” a most complete little work in every way. Descrip­ tive accounts of all their county matches nnd of their annual meeting, along with records and scores of all clubs of importance through­ out the county. And much general cricket information as well. This is the sort of thing to kindle and sustain genuine esprit de corps among old county cricketers. We want something more than “ W isden 99 or “ James Lillywhite.” What a capital book might be written either on Yorkshire or Lancashire crioket. Norfolk have sent forth but one pre-eminent cricketer—blit that was the famous Pilch. There may be his successors in the near future, and this “ Annual ” may help to unearth them. entirely fre r )m a mistake. On Saturday morn­ ing the brothers Douglas commenced the second innings of Cambridge, who were in a minority of 80 runs. Runs came very fast, and when R.N. was caught at the wicket, after fifty-five minutes’ batting, the runs had been wiped off but one After their separation, however, a change took place, and when the fifth wicket fell Cambridge were only 42 on. Latham and Streatfeild added 87 before the former, who had been in an hour and a half, was bowled. After Streatfeild’s retirement Hill and Jephson made another stand, adding 37 before the former was bowled. Gay and Jephson scored very freely and the next three-quarters of an hour produced 75 runs. Gay was the first to go, and when Jephson, who had been in an hour and a half for a thoroughly good score of 61, was caught Cambridge were out. The last five wickets had added 162 runs, and the total of 283 was an excell­ ent performance, showing the strength of the University as a batting side. Marylebone, who were left with 201 to win in two hours and a quarter, began so badly that the total waa only 65 with six of the best batsmen out. Davidson had been hitting very freely, and when he was bowled at 106 for a vigorous 57 the game seemed to be all against the in-side. After Mr. Pigg’s dismissal, however, Pougher and Hearne played with great confidence and judgment, and they very nearly won tbe match. As it was only seventeen runs were wanted to win with three wickets to fall, both batsmen being not out. C ambridge U niversity . OLD ETONIANS v. OLD HARROVIANS. Some high scoring was the result of this match, played at the Lyric Club, Barnes, on Friday and Saturday. In the two days 803 runs were made for twenty-four wickets, an average of over 3.3runs. Stogdon, the Cambridge miler, made the highest score in the match. He was in three hours and a half for his 102. At the finish the Etonians were 49 runs on with six wickets to fall.; O l d E to n ia n s .— First Innings. A.W.Ridley.b Napier 8 H. W. Studd, run out 22 H. A. Arkwright, c Webbe,b Anderson 53 A.

Heavy rain prevented a commencement of this match at Lord’s on Thursday, and there was not sufficient time in the two succeeding days to admit of its being played out. Mr. W. G. Grace won the toss, and, as the wicket was likely to improve, sent Cambridge in to bat. His decision was attended with success, and Mr. Ferris and J. T. Hearne bowled with such success that seven wickets were down for 62 runs. The two Surrey amateurs, Messrs. Wells and Streatfeild, however, worked a great change, and the score was exactly doubled when the former was caught. He had been hitting for over an hour and a ha’f, and in his 48 there was no fault of any kind. Mr. Brom- ley-Davenport knocked up 11, and then Mr. Streat­ feild was out for a very useful 46, bringing the innings, which had lasted just over two hours and a half, to a close for 149. Four of the batsmen who fell to Hearne’s bowling p'ayed on. On a faster wicket Marylebone went in at 3 . 20 , and Mr. W. G. Grace, Alec Hearne, and Mr Murdoch played so well that at one time 153 was up with only two batsmen out. Mr. Grace helped to make 57 runs in fifty minutes for the first wicket, of which his sbare was 36. After Chatterton’s retirement Alec Hearne and Mr. Murdoch played excellent cricket. The Australian batsman was seen at his very best, and of the 91 runs made while he was in he scored 57 by admirable cricket. Ten runs later Alec Jlearne was caught at the wicket, and the later batsmen did so little that the innings closed for 249, the last six wickets having only added 66 Hearne was at the wickets just under two hours and a half. His 64, the highest score of the match, was an excellent exhibition of defensive cricket Mr. A. J. L. Hill, b J. T. Hearne ......................... 4 b Grace Mr. E.C. Streatfeild, b J. T.

Rain interfered so much with the play in the first match of the season between these counties on each of the three days, that when stumps were finally drawn only eight bats­ men had been dismissed. Mr. Crosfield won the toss for Lancashire, and at luncheon time 91 had been made for the loss of two wickets. With Mr. McLaren and Ward out for 41, things did not look po bad for Surrey. Sugg and Smith, however, in fifty minutes added as many runs before the interval. The former ought to have been caught in the long field when he had only got 11 , but Smith scored 34 not out without a chance. During the luncheon interval, two heavy thunder­ storms broke over the ground, and play was dis­ continued for the day. On Friday, after Smith had been dismissed Briggs showed some free hitting, making his 21 in less than half a hour When he had got 40 Sugg should have been caught, but with this exception he played capital cricket, and at one o’clock when a shower stopped play ho was not out 68 with the total 183 for eight wickets. The ground was soon again quite unfit for play, and as on the previous day stumps had to be drawn. On Saturday morning tho wicket was easy, and Sugg and Watson scoring fast, 63 were added, when Mr. Crosfield though t it expedient to close his innings in the hope of getting Surrey out twice during the afternooD. Mr. Read and Abel went in at 12.40, and 8 runs were made off the first five overs. Again heavy rain caused the suspension of tbe game, and as there was no possibility of any more play the match had to be abandoned. Sugg’s 107 not out was marred by the two chances already named. Still, while he played generally with cam, he lost no opportunity of hitting. He was batting in all three hours and a half. His 107, we may add, was the first score of a hundred made against Surrey tince 1889. L ancashire . A. Ward, st Clarke, b A b e l........................29 Mr. A. C.
