Cricket 1892

810 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 21, 1892 at Nottingham, though, brought its revenges. Notts had to follow on, but the effective bowling of Jemm y Grundy pulled them through, and the Yorkshiremen were beaten, after a m ost exciting finish, by six runs. A correspondent (J. W . Shuker, of Fram ­ in g h am College) has very properly pointed out that I did Grant Asher an unintentional injustice, in m y reference to his brilliant per­ form ance for the Grange Club v. M .C.C. at L ord’s, in describing him as only a “ double blue.” As a matter of fact, he had the triple crown, representing Oxford in the long jump, as well as at cricket and football. But H om er sometimes nods. W hile the county eleven were playing at B righton yesterday, a well-known Sussex amateur was completing a m atch of his own in London. Tho ceremony at St. Paul’s, Knightsbridge, which made the H on. Marie Brassey Mrs. Freeman Thomas, gave Lord Brassey a distinguished cricketer as a son-in- law. Freeman Thom as’ record at E ton and Cambridge, as well assubsequently for Sussex, is too well known to require mention. Those who relish details may be concerned to know that the Bishop of Chichester, who officiated, was assisted by the R ev. Arthur Thomas, uncle of the bridegroom. The Hon. T. W . Brand, eldest son of V iscount Hampden, was best man. T he results of the matches played between the nine leading Counties up to date are as u n d er:— Played. Wen. Lost. Drawn.

LANCASHIRE, i Rain not only delayed the commencement of this match at Taunton till after luncheon on Monday, but also prevented any play on the following day. As a consequence the cricket was uneven, and the game hardly a reliable test of the relative merits of the two sides. Lancashire, in going in first on Monday on the wet wicket, seemed to have a decided advantage. All their calcula­ tions, however, were upset by the exce’lent bowl­ ing of Mr. Woods and Tyler, assisted by exceptionally good fielding, and in a little over an hour Lancashire had been dis­ missed for the small [total of 48. Smith, who Went in second wicket, alone played with any confidence, and his innings, under the circum­ stances, was worthy of great praise. Mr. Woods took six wickets for 32, and Tyler four for 16 runs. The wicket was beginning to dry when Somerset­ shire went in, and Mr. Hewett, tent on making the best use of his time, hit with even more than his usual vigour, scoring 33 out of the first 43. It was fortunate he did so, as, after he went, no one could do anything with Briggs’ bowling, and when the last wicket fell the score was only 72. Briggs bowled with remarkable success, dismissing seven batsmen at a cost of only 25 runs. Commencing Lancashire’s second innings in a minority of 24, Ward aud Sugg made a much better sh o^ and the latter was bowled with the last ball of the day, having helped to put on 54 ',runs. No play was possible on Tuesday, owing to heavy rain, and as a consequence run-getting yesterday was by no means easy. Briggs, who came in with Ward, was caught after one hit for four, and then Ward, who was not out 24 overnight, added eight when he was cleverly stumped. He had been in an hour and a half for his thirty-two. Smith and Baker offered a stout resistance, and the score was taken to 1*28before the latter was taken at point. By this time, the wicket had become difficult, and though Smith continued to play watchful cricket, Mr. Hedley and Nichols dismissed the six last wickets for an addition of only 25 runs. As the wicket was, Somersetshire had by no means an easy task, with 130 to win, and they began badly, losing Mr. Fowler a second time without a run. Messrs. Palairet and Hewett, however, played spirited cricket suited to the occasion, and in a little over an hour, the score was increased by 96 runs. Mr. Hewett, who had made 56, was the first to go, falling to a fine catch in the long field, a is dashing cricket, in conjunction with that of the Oxford captain, who was out at 117, proved the foundation of a brilliant success. Before this was attained, Hale, as well as Messrs. Hill and Watson had both gone, and it was left to Mr. Hedley and Nichols to give Somerset the victory with four wickets to spare. L ancashire .
