Cricket 1892

JULY 28, 1892 CEICKET: A WEEKLY BECOBD OF THE GAME. 819 SURREY v. SUSSEX. The Surrey eleven, though without Lohmann, had so much the best of their return match with Sussex, at the Oval on Monday and Tuesday, that the game was over on the second afternoon, ending, as its predecessor in the previous week at Brighton, in the defeat of Sussex by more than an innings. In Lohmann’s absence a place was again found for Sharpe, and Brockwell reappeared in the eleven in place of Mr. Key. The early bats­ men of Sussex, who went in first, made rather a disappointing show. Sharpe kept a fairly good length, and excepting Mr. Newham no one played with any greit confidence. At lunch time the total was 118 for five wickets.but afterwards Lock­ wood bowled with remarkable success and the innings closed after all for only 137, Mr. Andrews, Humphreys, and Butt all failing to score. Mr.New- ham, who had gone in first wicket down at three, carried ont his bat. He was responsible for 66 out of 134, while he was in. He gave no chance during the two hours and a half he was in, and his free batting was a pleasant relief to the generally tame cricket. Lockwood s fowling at the finish was almost unplayable. His last six overs wero de­ livered for7 runs and five wickets, all clean bowled. Surrey had three hours for batting on Monday, and in this time scored 263 for the loss of half their wickets. Mr. Head and Abel put on 1 62 before the latter was out, and the former, with Mr. c<treatfeild, added 51. After Maurice Read and Mr. Shuter had both been dismissed without a run, Henderson g-ive Mr. Rf-ad useful assistance, adding 58 while they were together. The most lively cricket of the day, however, was at the finish, Lockwood hit with surprising vigour, and of the last 80 runs, which were got in under an hour, his share was 54. Though both batsman were not out at the finish, they were indebted for their success to luck. Mr. Read gave an ea*y chance to short slip when he had made 61, and a little later he ought to have been stumped from a lob, though it must be ad­ mitted the ball beat the wicket-keeper as well as the batsman. Lockwood, too. ought to have been caught at deep long-on, when he had made 25, from a big hit. On Tuedsay morning Mr. Read, who was not out 111 , continued to bat in admirable style, and though unlucky enough to miss his second hundred by four, carried out his bat. Lockwood increased his score to 80—a fine exhibition of powerful and resolute cricket—and after his retire­ ment, Wood alone was seen to advantage. Mr. Read, who has played himself lately into quite his best form, carried his bat right through the innings. He was tatting altogether five hours and a quarter for his 196. In addition to his ehances on the first day, when he had pot 110 he might have been caught at short leg, had not Humphreys the bowler crossed Brann and spoiled the chance. Though hardly comfortable with the lobs on the second day. his innings was an admirab e display of cricket. Without sacrificing defence, he hit hard whenever hitting was warranted, and some of his pulling strokes were very powerful. Sussex had a thankless task before them when they went in with 276 to avoid an innings defeat. They began badly, too, losing Bean from a splendid ball by Lockwood, and Mr. Newham bowled in the next over. Marlow and Mr. Heaaman were the first to offer any resistance, and both played very plucky and spirited cricket. With the exception, however, of a few hits by Mr. Brann and another useful display by Hide, there was nothing else worthy of note, and the completion of the second innings of Sussex in two hours and a half left Surrey with an easy win by an innings and 110 ruas.

The Somersetshire Eleven, following up their successive wins over Lancashire, Gloucester­ shire, and Sussex, gained their fourth victory at Taunton, on Tuesday, when they beat Kent with eight wickets to ppare. Kent, who have been rather unlucky just of late, were unfortunate enough to lose the bowling of Wright, who had injured his hand, and with Alec Hearne still far from well, and Mr. W. H. Patterson also absent, their all-round cricket was considerably weakened. On the other hand, though Mr. Hill was away, the inclu ion of Mr. Challen strengthened Somerset­ shire. Kent, who went in first, with three excep­ tion , only made a moderate bhow a ainst the bowling of Mr. Woods, and were all out in two hou'S and a quarter for 124. The exceptions were Meshrs. Bruybrooke and Fox,whowith Martin, were responsible for 96 of the total. The first named in particular was seen to advantage, scoring 53 out of 94 :n an hour and forty minutes by spirited cricket. When Somersetshire went in Mr. Hewett hit with characteristic freedom, and when he was splendidly caught in tho long- field at 129, he had got 81, the result of an hour and three-quarters’ batting without a chance. Though when the ninth wicket fell Somersetshire were only 9 runs ahead, some resolute hitting by Mr. Robmuon gave them after all a useful lead, the last wicket adding 47 runs. In the Jast forty minutes on Monday, Kent had made 34 runs in their second innings for the loss of Mr. Bray­ brooke, who was finely caught at short-slip. Thus when play was resumed on Friday, Kent were still 22 runs to the bad, and as Martin and Mr. Weigall were soon dismissed, their chances were not very bright. Alec Hearne, however, found a valuable partner in Mr. Wilson, and the pair played so well that 76 runs were added in just about the same number of minute*. Mr. vVilson, who was the first to go, had contributed 48, and his phy all round was particularly free and attractive. Hearne, who was c \ught at 180, had played, as usual, watchful cricket. He was batting three hours and ten minutes, and his only mistake was a chance to the wicket-keeper just before he was out. At luncheon time the score was 143 for four wickets, and there seemed to be a chance of a good finish. The later bats­ men, with the exception of Mr. Fox, all failed, however, and the innings closed for 193,an addition of only 55 runs. This left Somersetshire with 143 to win, and as Messrs. Hewett and Palairet, who had contributed chiefly to their scores in recent matches, were both ont with the score only 24, Kent seemed to have a fair chance. Messrs. Challen and Hedley, however, after the former had settled down, played fine free cricket. They scored so fast that in eighty minutes the 119 runs wanted had been got, and Somersetshire had won another brilliant victory. K ent . First Innings. Second Innings. A.

DURHAM. The Warwickshire Eleven had a decisive victory in this match, played at Sunderland on Monday and Tuesday, winning by an innings and 69 runs. Messrs. Bainbridge and J. E. Hill scored 154 for the first wicket, and Shilton and Lilley subsequently hit so freely that the result was never afterwards in doubt. In' Durham’s first innings Shilton took Bix wickets for 42 runs.
