Cricket 1892

830 CEICKET: A WEEKLY EE COED OP THE GAME. AUG. 4 , 1892 LANCASHIRE v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Though they had the advantage of going in first, at Liverpool, on Thursday, the Gloucestershire eleven made such a disappointing show with the bat that Lancashire were able to get the upper hand before the close of the first day. Losing the toss, Lancashire had to take the field, but so well did Briggs, Mold, and Watson bowl, supported by good fielding, that the innings, which lasted just over three hours, only reached a total of 142. Of these, aa many as 92 were made by two bats men. Mr. Rice, the Oxford Freshman, added another striking proof of his value to the side. Going in first wicket; down, he was last out, and his 62, which was without a fault, was a highly commendable display of patiect and watchful cricket. When Lancashire went in, Mr. Ferris and Roberts, who began the bowling, started well, getting rid of two of the most dangerous batsmen, Ward and Sugg, for only 30 runs. Smith and Mr. Maclaren, however, were not so easy to dislodge, and they played out time, having raised the total to 104 for the loss of only two wickets. Just before the finish of the day, Roberts injured his hand badly in stopping a return by Smith, and, as he was unable to take any further part in the game, the Gloucestershire eleven suffered con siderably from the loss of his bowling. Smith did not give much trouble on Friday morning, but Mr. Maclaren continued to play fine cricket, and was not out till the total had reached 261. He was batting for three hours and a half, and had scored 135 out of 231 while he was in. He gave a chance to short slip when he had got 13, and another—though rather a difficult one—in the same place at 75. These were the only blemishes in an exceptionally good display of batting. After Mr. Maclaren's dismissal, 54 were addod by the four outstanding wickets, so that at the end of an innings Lan cashire had a lead of 169 runs. This time, Mr. Rice, the successful batsman of the previous day, was bowled without a run, and Mr. W. G. Grace, who was still very lame, was also dismissed with out scoring. Mr. E. M. Grace got a nasty blow from Mold, which compelled him to retire, and when he subsequently resumed his innings, he had a substitute to run for him. With luck to a great extent against them, it was hardly a surprise that Gloucestershire fared badly. As it was, though there were six double figures in the second innings, the total only reached 139, so that Lancashire had, in the end, an easy victory by an innings and 33 runs.

SURREY. With the object of reserving the majority of their eleven for the match against Notts on Bank Holiday, Surrey cent only a very moderate side to Leyton on Thursday. Mr. Read, Brockwell, and Richardson were indeed the only regularmembers of the team, which included a player new to county cricket in Mr. R. P. Lewis, of Winchester College, a wicket-keeper of great promise. On the other hand, Essex had not its best eleven,with Messrs. A. P. Lucas, A. S. Johnston, and C. J. Kortright all away. Surrey, who went in first, were batting for two hours and three quarters for a total of 176. Thanks to the steady cricket of Baldwin and the free hitting of Ayres, the score was 125 at lunch time on Thursday, with only three batsmen out. Subsequently, however, Pickett and Mead bowled with great success, and the last seven wickets only adding 41, the innings after all only reached 176. Essex, in their turn, made a bad show against the good bowling of Richardson, and, in spite of a well played score of 52 by Carpenter, the total was only 114 when the sixth wicket fell. F. E. Rowe and Taberer, how ever, punished the Surrey bowliDg seveiely, and the last forty-five minutes on Thursday increased the Essex total by 83 runs. On Friday morning they continued to hit away with the same vigour, and 81 had been added in fifty minutes when Mr. Taberer was out. Mr. Rowe, who was out at 300, made 129 out of 217 while he was in, without a mistake. There were only thirteen singles in h:s score. Surrey, who entered on their second innings in a minority of 175, disposed of the arrears for the loss of only two batsmen, thanks to another good display by Baldwin, and some vigorous cricket by Brockwell, Street, and Ayres. Mr. Read, too, scored fast, and, at the last, Watts hit with great freedom, contributing 60 (not out) of the last 86 runs. Ayres and Watts both had a good deal of luck. Still, the former’s display in the match was quite of an exceptional character. In the two innings he made 144 runs, a perform ance which is not likely to be overlooked by the Surrey authorities. Mr. Lewis hurt his hand badly keeping wicket on Thursday, and he could not bat in the second innings, so Watts had to take his place behind stumps. Essex, with 167to win, lost Pickett without a run on Friday night, and, although Carpenter and Mr. F. Rowe again played well, and Mr. Hailey also lent useful assistance, Surrey were able to claim a win in the end with only 17 runs. Richardson took fifteen Essex wickets in the match at a cost of eleven and a half runs apiece, and to his bowling Surrey was mainly indebted for its victory. In the match 1017 runs were scored, a convincing proof of the excellence of the wicket. S urrey . First Innings. Second Innings.
