Cricket 1892

8 8 4 CKICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE G A M E . AUG. 25, 1892 SOMERSETSHIRE v. NOTTS. Last year the Somersetshire eleven supplied the great sensation of county cricket in their defeat of the hitherto invincible Surrey eleven. On Friday they accom plished a very similar achievement, indeed, their victory over Notts, at Taunton, last week, was in m any respects a com plete parallel with,their perform ance of 1891. Rain prevented a commencem ent on Thursday until af^er three o’clock, and then Somersetshire, who were fortunate enough to win the toss, made full use of their advantages. The Notts bowlers were handicapped at the outset on the wet ground, and Mr. Hewett, who went in first with Mr. Palairet, hit with charac­ teristic determination, having scored in an hour and a quarter 61 of the 80 got when he was out, the second wicket, w ithout a chance. Mr. Challen, too, when he got set, played in his best style, and Jater on Mr. Hill hit freely, adding 27 in the last forty minutes. When play comm enced on Friday morning, Somersetshire had scored 184 for six wickets, and, thanks mainly to the stand of Messrs. Hill and Fow ler, 125 were added before the innings closed. The two amateurs put on 96 runs in an hour and twenty m inutes. Their partnership altogether realised 112, of which Fowler contributed 39, an invaluable display of careful cricket, well-suited to the occasion. Mr. Hill, whose exceptionally fine hitting for Oxford against Cambridge will still be vividly remembered, punished all the bowling with the same impartiality. In two hours he knocked up 93 runs, and his brilliant exhibition was only spoiled by a hard chance in the long-field. Though they had to go in against a big total of 309, and on a wicket which favoured the bowlers, the poor display of Notts with the bat cam e as a great surprise. Ofjthe first innings, which lasted just tw o hours, the only features were the steady cricket of Gunn, who was in for an hour and twenty minutes, and as a contrast the vigorous hitting of Flowers, who made his 31 in a quarter of an hour. In the follow on, though, owing to a strain, Mr. W oods was unable to bowl, Somer­ setshire were even m ore successful. Tyler began by bowling Shrewsbury without a run, and this early success was followed up in a remarkable way. Supported by brilliant fielding he got rid o f all the N otts bate- men excepting Daft, and in an hour and three quarters the whole side were out for the small total of 69. Tyler took nine o f the ten w ickets at a cost of only 33 runs, and in the match, altogether, fifteen at a cost of just over five runs a piece. Against such a side as Notts, this was a perform ance quite out of the common. Somersetshire won by an innings and 122 runs. There was great excitem ent over the victory, and the spectators responded so liberally to a collection for Tyler that a sum of £44 was given to him in appreciation of his fine bowling. Though they had the worst of the luck, still Notts should have done m uch better, and the result was a practical evidence of the excellence of Somer­ setshire’s allround cricket. S o m erset . Mr. H.

The Warwickshire Eleven were seen to such ad­ vantage with the bat on Thursday at Birmingham, that Essex were never able to get on anything like even terms, and were beaten on Saturday by an innings and two runs. Although rain fell heavily for some time on Thursday Warwickshire scored so freely that by the end of the day 302 runs had been got for the loss of only eight wickets. The chief feature of the day’s cricket was the brilliant hitting of Lilley at the finish. Going in with the total at 150 for six wickets, he made 104 o f the last 152 runs, and was still in at the end of the day. On Friday after adding 29, he was caught at third man. His 133 was an exceptionally fine dis­ play of vigorous batting, with only two chances, the first at 63, the latter after he had got his hundred. His innings extended over two hours and a half. Going in against a total of 349 Essex made a moderate show against Shilton’s bowling, and in two hours and three quarters the whole side were out for 133. In the follow on they made a bad start, and when the seventh wicket fell the total was only 69. A very use­ ful stand by Carpenter and Mr. Taberer, who were still in at the end of Friday’s play, an ad­ dition of 68 runs, made the game look a little more hopeful. Still, on Saturday morning the end soon came, and as the three outstand­ ing wickets only added 21, Warwickshire had an easy victory by an innings and 58 runs. Shilton took ten Essex wickets for 183, Pallett eight for 82 runs. Pickett’s four wickets for Essex cost 71 runs. W ar w ick sh ir e . Lilley, c Phillips, b Pickett .................. 133 Mr. J.

Continuous rain on Thursday prevented the commencement of this m atch, at Maidstone, till the following morning, and then a storm brought the game to a termination for the day early in the afternoon, with only three of the Yorkshire eleven out. Play was only possible tor fortv minutes before luncheon, and in that tim e Yorkshire had made 41 for the loss of Lord Hawke and Wardall. Until a quarter to four o’clock it was inpoesible to continue the game, and under the disadvantage of a wet ball and ground the Kent bowlers were not seen to advantage. Mr. Smith in particular was in his beet vein for hit­ ting, and his stand with Mr. Sellars,which resulted in an addition of 91 for the third wicket, was the feature of the cricket. Mr. Sellars was bowled at 46, but Mr, Smith stopped until the end of the day, and w as not out, having scored 76 out of 118 runs. On Saturday morning, Martin bowled with con­ siderable success, and the. out cricket of Kent generally was so good that rims were not easy to make. Mr. Smith added 12, and was then caught at the wicket. He had been batting tw o hours and ten minutes, and his 88, an excellent display of free and attractive cricket, marred by two chances, the first at 18, the second just before he was out. W ith the exception of Tunnicliffe, who carried out his bat for a very creditable score of 32, none of the later batsm en did any­ thing, and the innings closed for 188, the last seven wickets having only added 70 runs. Though the wicket played better on Saturday afternoon than was generally expected under the inuflence of the sun, still, Kent made a very inauspicious comm encem ent, and, with four of the best batsmen out, the total was only 55. George Hearne, however, proved a very useful partner to Mr. Patteison. Both batsm en showed admirable cricket, and their stand, which pro­ duced 74 runs and lasted nearly two hours, enabled Kent to finish in a very creditable position. After their separation, however, no one made any stay, and the last half of the innings only realised 52 runs. Still the game was drawn with an advantage of eight runs to York­ shire on the one innings played. Mr. Smith supplemented his capital exhibition of batting with a good bowling perform ance. He got five of the last six wickets, and, as will be seen, at a cost of only 21 runs. Y o rk sh ire . Tunnicliffe, not out 32 Brown, c A.
