Cricket 1892

8 2 0 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JULY 28, 1892 NOTTS V. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. The Gloucestershire eleven have been showing such moderate form this season that their chances of being the first to check fcne victorious career of Notts were very remote. In the case, too, of their match begun on the Trent Bridge Ground on Thursday, an unfortunate decision of their cap­ tain placed them, as events proved, at a disad­ vantage which practically gave Notts the victory. Mr. W. G. Grace, who had owing to a strain been compelled to stand out of the Gentlemen and Players and Somersetshire matches, had suffi­ ciently recovered to play, though, as will be seen by the analysis, not able to bowl. He won the toss for Gloucestershire, and thinking Notts would have the worst of a wicket slow from recent rains in going in first, put them in. As it happened the ground played fairly easy on the opening day, while Gloucestershire found it difficult and much in favour of the bowlers on the second. Mr, Ferris gave the game a favourable appearance for his side by bowling Shrewsbury with the total at 12. Mr. Dixon stayed some little time, but Barnes, his successor, only made six, and the score was 67 with three of the best batsmen out. Then came a stand by Gunn and Flowers, which had an important effect; on,?if it did not actually decide, the result. Flowers was missed in the long- field when he had got three, a mistake which had disastrous results for Gloucestershire. After this escape, he hit with great brilliance, and in less than an hour and a half he scored 72 with only the one mistake mentioned. Gunn’s performance was even of higher merit. Going in with the score at twelve, he was not out at the close of the innings, having scored 98 out of 242 made while he was in. He was batting three hours and forty minutes, and duiing all this time made hardly a bad hit, certainly none that could be called a chance. Going io lato in the day, and under the disadvantage of a bad light, Gloucestershire failod utterly, losing half their side in an hour and a half for 89 runs. On Friday the wicket had dried sufficiently to give the bowlers considerable advantage, and by four o’clock the match was over, fifteen Gloucester­ shire wickets only realising 114runs. TheOxonian. Mr. Rice, showed remarkable patience in the first innings, being in two hours and ten minutes for his sixteen. Otherwise, Mr. Kitcat alone made any stay, and the last five wickets only added 41 runs. In the follow on Attowell found the pitch exactly to his liking, and he bowled with such success that the innings, which lasted an hour and three quarters, only produced three double figures. Of these Mr. Ferris’ 16, not out, was the highest, and as the total only reached 78, Notts had an easy win by an innings and 100 runs. Flowers supplemented his good batting on the first day by some good bowling in the early part of Friday, taking four wickets for only 21 runs. Attewell, though, was the most successful bowler. He had a remarkable analysis in the match, fifty- six overs for 52 runs and nine wickets. N otts . Shrewsbury, b Ferris 5 Mr. J. A.

SUSSEX. The Somersetshire eleven, following up their triumphs over Lancashire and Gloucestershire, secured their third successive victory on Friday at Taunton, when they defeated Sussex in brilliant style by six wickets. The ground at the outset was a trifle slow from recent rains, and the batting was so disappointing that by five o’clock on Thursday an innings had been completed on each side, with an advantage of seven runs to Sussex. Nichols’ bowling had much to do with the cheap dismissal of Sussex, who went in first, and his five wickets were got at a cost of less than five runs a-piece. On the other side Humphreys’ lobs were again very successful. Mr. Hewett made 30 out of the first 35 runs in fifteen minutes, but, after Mr. Palairet was out, the fourth wicket at 57, no one except Hale played the slows with any confidence, and seven of the ten wickets fell to Humphreys at a cost of 82 runs. When Sussex went in a second time Bean hit with great vigour, and at the end of the day he was not out 48 with the total 84 for three wickets. At the outset on Friday things went badly for Sussex, Bean being out after only adding three. Messrs. Newham and Smith made a very useful stand for the sixthwicket,butthe feature of the innings was the play of Guttridge. He hit with great determination, and in an hour and a quarter scored no less than 70 runs. At times he was at fault, but he only gave one difficult chance, and his hits included one drive out of the ground for six. Somersetshire had a heavy task before them when they went in on Friday after luncheon with 232 to win. It was made more difficult, too, from the fact that there were only ten men to bat, Mr. V. T. Hill, who had caught a chill, being con­ fined to his bed. Messrs. Hewett and Palairet, however, as against Lancashire in the previous week, played brilliant cricket, and before they were parted a victory was fairly well assured. The former eclipsed all his previous performances in the way of scoring. In a few minutes over the hour he scored 84, and when he was out 125 of the runs wanted had been got. He made his 84 in twenty-nine hits, and as a display of resolute, fearless hitting, it was beyond all praise. On his retirement Mr. Dunlop lent Mr. Palairet useful assistance, and the score had been raised to 177, an addition of 52, before the former was bowled. After making 70 by very attractive cricket. Mr. Palairet was bowled, and as his successor, Mr. Fowler, for the fourth time in succession failed to score, four wickets were down for 185. Any doubts of Somersetshire’s success were, however, soon dispelled by Mr. Woods and Nicuols, and in a little over half an hour they knocked off the balance of 49 runs. Somersetshire had made the 234 runs in less than two hours and a half, and their brilliant victory was received with enthusiasm by the spectators. S ussex . First Innings.
