Cricket 1892

JULY 21, 1892 CRICKET:' A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME* 8 0 5 Lancashire,who went in first,were out before lunch for 92. J. T. Hearne was able to make the ball do a good deal, and Ward and Baker alone played him with any confidence. The former made 33 of the filst 42, and with Baker, who hit with great reso­ lution for 25, scored 68 out of 87 from the bat. Hearne was credited with seven of the ten wickets at a cost of exactly six runs apiece. Middlesex in their turn were only slightly more successful. Messrs. Stoddart, O’Brien, and Scott were all got rid of very cheaply, and the only note-worthy bat­ ting was by Messrs. Jardine and Henery. In different styles each played well. Henery’s vigor­ ous hitting was a direct contrast to the steady cricket of Jardine, who was in an hour and twenty minutes for an excellent innings of £0. Lancashire in the last hour on Thursday had lost four good wickets, all to Rawlin’s bowling, for 49, so that at the end of the first day they were only 82 on, with six wickets to fall. The Lancashire tail, however, were seen to marked advantage on Friday, so much bo that the whole aspect of the game was altered. The not outs, Briggs and Mr. Crosfield, were both in their best vein, and they had added 89before tbe amateur was dismissed for a very useful and plucky innings of 38. Baker, who this time played with great care, also lent Briggs useful assist­ ance, and after the latter’s retirement Messrs. Hubback and Kemble also hit well. Briggs’ dis­ play, though, was far and away the best on the side. He j ust missed his hundred, being two short when he returned one to Phillips. He had been batting two hours and a half, and his cricket, which was without a fault, was quite up to his best standard, with free hitting tempered by judicious defence. With 227 to win, Middlesex made an auspicious commencement, Messrs. Webbe and Scott putting on 64,by excellent cricket, for the first wicket. After the latter’s retire­ ment, however, Mold’s fast bowling proved very destructive, and before the end of the day Mr. 'Vebbe had seen six more batsmen go for an addition of only 38 runs. Rain began to fall early on Saturday morning, and as if continued without intermission till one o’clock, there seemed little chance of any more play. The downpour, however, ceased, and at a quarter to six o’clock the umpires decided that the game could be resumed. Middle­ sex, with 125 to win and only two wickets to fall, had therefore only one hope, to keep up their wickets for the forty-five minutes that remained. Mr. Webbe, who was not out 49, and Philips were together for twenty minutes when the former was well caught at the wicket. He had been in alto­ gether two hours and a half, and his 51 was an admirable display of watchful cricket eminently suitable to the occasion. Hearne was the last hope of Middlesex, and as he has shown before was not wanting in p'uck at the crisis. Phillips and he, indeed, played with only one object, to stay in, and as they were successful tbe game ended in a draw, Middlesex still wanting 115 to win with only a wicket in hand. Mold’s bowling was quite one of the test features of a sensational match. Altogether he took thirteen wickets at a cost of nine and a half runs apicee. L a n c a sh ir e . First Innings. A.

The heavy rainfall which had settled Kent’s chances in the Lancashire match earlier in the week had left its traces at Tonbridge when the old foemen Kent and Surrey began their first fixture of the season on Thursday last. Asa consequence, the game at the outset went all in favour of the bowlers, and batsmen fared so badly that the first day’s cricket only realised 203 runs for the dis­ missal of twenty-two wickets. The Kent eleven was greatly weakened by the absence of Mr. W. H. Patterson and Alec Hearne, both of whom were ill. Surrey were more fortunate, as the substitu­ tion of Richardson and Mr. C. M. Wells for Sharpe and Brockwell improved the side, which, with perhaps the exception of Mr. E. C. Streatfeild, was as strong as it well could be. Kent were fortunate enough to win the toss, but failed to profit by their success. Lockwood and Lohmann made fu'l use of a wicket which gave them considerable help, and though the innings lasted two hours and twenty minutes, the aggregate only reached 80. Surrey began in a different style, and Mr. W. W. Read and Ab<-1 put on 35 for the first wicket. Mr. Shuter and Maurice Read hit freely, but the later batsmen failed signally before the good bowling of Walter Hearne, and. as the last six on the list only contributed 13 runs. Surrey after all only headed their opponents by 17runs. Walter Hearne’s bowling at the finish was remarkable. His last thirty-seven balls resulted in the dismissal of six batsmen at a cost of only 15 runs. When Kent wen^in a second time Messrs. Marchant and Weigall both failed to score, and, at the end of the first day, Messrs. Braybrooke and Knowles were in with the score 26 - or nine on—for the loss of two wickets. On Friday morning, though, the wicket was fas'er, the Kent batsmen, excepting Mr. Knowles, gave little trouble, and when the eighth wicket fell, the total was only 1 2. Mr. Knowles had played good cricket for just on an hour and three quarters, and hi3 score of 42 was invaluable to the side. A surprise was in store when Wright joined Martin. Helped by mistakes in th3 field, the two bowlers hit freely, and 51 had been added before Martin was caught. Hearne, the last man, failed to score, and the innings closed for 157, Wright carrying out his bat for a very useful and well played 31. At the finish, Surrey had 141 to win, and on an improving wicket, this seemed an easy task. Still, Wright bowled with great success, and, with four of the best batsmen out for 51, there was just a chance of a good finish. Mr. Shuter and Henlerson, however, by excellent cricket, added 86 , and the latter and Mr. Key played so carefully that the balance of 54 were got without another loss, leaving Surrey with a victory by five wickets. The proceeds of the match were given by the Com­ mittee of the Kent C.C. to J. Pentecost, who kept wicket for Kent for some years, but has latterly been incapacitated from cricket by failing eye­ sight. K e n t . S u r r e y .— First Innings. First Innings. Mr. H. M.

At the finish Leicestershire wanted 52 to win with four wickets to fall. Pougher took nine Marylebone wickets for 112, Woodcock seven for 130 runs. Pickett’s seven for M.C.C. cost 104runs.
