Cricket 1892

9 5 2 C R I C K E T : A W E E K L Y R E C O R D O F T H E G A M E . A tm . 11, 1892 GLOUCESTERSHIRE V. SUSSEX. After three days o f uninterrupted cricket the return m atch between these counties ended on Saturday evening in a draw. W ith little bowling on either side, high scoring on a run-getting wicket was a certainty, and altogether 921 runs were m ade for twenty-five wickets. Bean and Marlow, w ho opened the batting, gave a foretaste o f what was to com e by putting on 87 for the first wicket, and as Messrs. Heasman, Newham, Brann, and Andrews all followed the example of the first two batsmen, Gloucestershire had a long outing. At the end o f the first day Sussex had made 247 with only four batsmen out, and this number was nearly doubled before the end came. The innings was not over till after luncheon on Friday, having lasted altogether seven hours and forty minutes. M a r io ju s t failed to reach his 100, and his 98 was free from a mistake. Mr. Andrews at the finish hit fearlessly, and while he was in w ith Mr. Brann 122 runs were added in an hour and ten minutes. His 67 included two hits out o f the ground for six. and eleven fours. Mr. Brann, who made 133 in the previous m atch at Brighton, headed that score by fourteen. At the outset he played with great care, but when he got set on Friday morning he hit in his very best style, and at the close he was making runs at a tremendous pace. Altogether he was in three hours and forty minutes, and his last 47 runs were made in half an hour. After their long spell of fielding Gloucestershire were not seen to great advantage, and on Friday night six wickets had fallen for 136. Of these Mr. E. M. G race, who was sixth out at 129, had contributed 62. For these he was in two hours and a quarter, and his play was characterised by care as we 1 as judgment. As the Gloucestershire innings closed on Saturday morning for 220, they had to follow on in a minority of 282. W ith four hours still left they had anything but an easy task to save the game, and it was distinctly to their credit that they showed up so well at the finish. Fortunately Mr. W . G. Grace was in his best form, and of the 142 made when he was out his share was 99. It was an innings in every way worthy of him. During the two hours and twenty minutes he was batting he never made a mistake, and his tim ing and hitting all round were up to his highest standard. W ith five batsm en out for 15G Messrs. Rice and Ferris becam e partners, and so well did they play that at the close 86 had been added without another wicket. The former, who was batting two hours and a half, played with great judgm ent, and his watchful cricket at a critical peiiod of the game cannot be over praised. Roberts was still una >le to play for Gloucestershire, and the bowling, with Murch and W oof also away, was singu’arly weak. S ussex . Humphreys, c Board, b F e rris...................10 Mr. W. H.

After making a very creditable show through­ out, the Essex eleven lo3t this m atch, begun on Thursday at Leyton, on Saturday afternoon by 106 runs. The scoring on both sides was above the average, and in the three days nine hundred ruus were made in the four com pleted innings. York­ shire, who went in first, were in three hours and thirty-five minutes for a total of 255. The oest batting was shown in the latter part o f the innings. Ulyett and Tunnicliffe put on 100 for the seventh wicket, and both played in good free style, though the latter ought to have been easily caught at third man, when he had only got 16. On Monday night Essex had made 41 for the loss of three batsmen, and with the help of some mistakes in the field, they were able to bring their total to 222, or within 33 of their opponents, before tho last wicket fell. The chief stand of the innings was by Messrs. Owen and Taberer. Of the 107 put on the latter contributed 40 in excellent style. Mr. Owen,who went in first, was seventh out. Though he gave two chances, one at 39, th9 other at 89, his innings of 98, which lasted nearly four hours and a half, was worthy of very high praise. At the same tim e it may be remarked that owing to lameness he had’someone to run for him. Going in a second time Yorkshire at the outset fared rather badly, losing two good wickets for 23. This early failure however was atoned for by the brilliant hitting of Mr. Smith, Mr. Sellars, Peel and Wainwright, and when play ceased on Friday, only half the side were out for 210. On Saturday morning Mr. Kortright and Mead bow led with such success that the innings was soon over, the last five wickets only adding 37 runs. With 282 to win, Essex started m ost inauspicionsly, losing Mr. Owen, Mr. Rowe, and Carpenter for 28. Some vigorous hitting by Burns, who scored 42 in the same number of minutes, roused the interest of the spectators, which was increased by some steady cricket by Messrs. Druce and Harley. Still York­ shire had too much in hand to give any real prospect of a close finish. Yorkshire was w ithout Lord Hawke, Mr. F. S. Jackson and Hunter, Essex with­ out Messrs. A. P. Lucas, A. S. Johnston and F. A. Phillips. In the m atch, Mead took twelve York­ shire wickets at a cost of under thirteen runs apiece. Y orkshire . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. E.

SURREY v. DERBYSHIRE. The Derbyshire captain furnished the excep- tion to the general rule when he won the toss, at the Oval on Monday, in sending in his opponents first. A good deal of rain had fallen in the early morning, and if the weather had held up the policy would have in all likelihood proved suc­ cessful. As it was, though Derbyshire got the best of the ground on the first afternoon, on the whole they did not profit very m uch. The wicket never at any time really favoured the bat, and the bowlers had so m uch the best of it that the four com pleted innings only realised an aggregate of 469 runs. In every case the later batsm en failed signally, and, indeed, Abel, Maurice Read, and Mr. Shuter on the one side, and Chatterton and Bag- shaw on the other, alone showed to any great advantage. In Derbyshire’s first innings Chat­ terton helped Bagshaw to add 59 runs in fifty minutes, and in the second 55 in just over half-an- hour. The latter, who is a left-handed batsman, scored very fast, while in the second innings Chatterton got runs with unusual freedom, m aking eighteen from one over of Richardson. In tho first innings o f Derbyshire the last eight batsm en only scored 20, in the second nine of the eleven accounted for but 30. Porter, Davidson, Richardson, and Lockw ood all had-notew orthy bowling figures. The best analysis, though, was that of Lockw ood, who was not puton till the end of the m atch. He took eight of the ten wickets in Derbyshire’s second innings at a cost of only 27 runs. Surrey won by 93 runs. S urrey . First Innings. Second Innings.
