Cricket 1892

4 0 0 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME SEPT. 1, 1892 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. Continuous rain on Saturday at Clifton effec­ tually prevented any outside chance there ever might have been of bringing the return m atch between these 1counties to a definite conclu­ sion. As it was. though there was no interrup­ tion to the game on the first two days, the bats­ men generally made such t-mall use of their opportunities that when play ceased on Friday evening only 466 runs had made with but thir­ teen wickets down. Thursday did not open in a very prom ising fashion, and several showers in the morning were not suggestive o f uninterrupted cricket. Still, during the period of play, the rain fortunately held off, and as the wicket was not appreciably affected everything was in favour of Rome interesting cricket, lh e early play justi­ fied the expectations of some fairly good scoring. At the outset, E. M. Grace and Radcliffe made 81 runs in just about the same number of minutes, and at lunch time the score was 97 with Painter the only other batsman out. Soon after the resum p­ tion Radcliffe was caught at the wicket, for an unusually careful score of 42, which occupied him just two hours. W ith the total at 101, W.G. came in to join Rice, and then ensued som e steady cricket. Neither batsman took any liberty, and in the face of the good out cricket of Middlesex, runs cam e very slowly. W .G . had been just over two hours when he reached his 50, while Rice had been an hour longer in reaching the same score. Still, in spite of frequent changes of bowling, the two batsm en maintained the same watchful game, and at six o’clock after five hours’ cricket the score was 237, W .G. not out 72, Rice not out 64. On Friday morning, though the ground was faster, tbe not outs adhered to the same careful game as on the previous day, and with the addition of nine runs in twenty minutes Rice was caught at the wicket. He had been in close on four hours, and his 67 was ;i fitting supplement to his many good perform ances of late, a faultless display of watchful and defensive cricket. After his retire­ ment, the 'interest centred in the chance of W.G. making hisJhundred. T o the general disappoint­ ment, however, he failed to reach this, being caught at slip when eleven runs short of tho number. Altogether he was at the wicket for three hours and three quarters, and as an exhibition of batting it was quite up to his best standard, without a shadow of a chance. After some free hitting by Page, Ferris and Roborts, following previous examples, played with great care, and the form er wus in m ore than two hours for his runs. Just at the last, Murch hit with great vigour, and when he was out the innings, which had lasted seven hours and a half, was over for a total o f 353. Cousidering their long outing, the Middlesex men fielded up well, and Rawlin cam e out with creditable figures, taking five wickets for 88 runs. W ebbe and Stoddart opened the batting for Middlesex, and in the two hours and a half that remained on Friday, 113 urns were scored for the lost of three batsmen. W ebbe and Stoddart made a good start, putting on 76 for the first wicket. Subsequently Scott and O’Brien played fairly well, aud at tho end cf the day the form er was not out, with seventeen to his credit. As already stated heavy rain prevented any play on Saturday, and the cam e was drawn in a far from uninteresting condition. G LOUCE STERSHIRE. Dr. E. M.

The Surrey eleven brought their first-class matches to a successful close at the Oval last Friday afternoon with a victory over Kent by ten wickets. Owing to heavy rain overnight the ground at the outset waa rather soft, and Surrey did not gain a great advantage in going in first. At the outset, indeed, it did not look as if they were going to fare very well, and with Baldwin and Abel out for 12 the chances of a big score ap­ peared very remote. The first stand of any ac­ count was by W. W . Read and Lockw ood, who added 50 for the fifth wicket. Though subse­ quently the game wastwice interrupted by rain, tho later batsmen were seen to great advantage, and as the last four wickets added 88 runs, the inninga eventually reached a total of 211. By far the best cricket on the side was shown by the captain. Mr. Shuter played with confidence as well as judgment, and his 42 was only spoiled by one hard chance. Wright was very difficult to play, and his figures were the m ore creditable as he did not bowl with the best of luck. W ith forty minutes left for play Kent went in to bat, and so well did Marchant and Alec Hearne play, that when the form er was out, 28 had been made in fifteen minutes. Subsequently however George and Walter Hearne were both dismissed, and at the end of the day the score was 45 with three batsm en out. On Friday m orning Alec Hearne was out from a bad stroke for an addition o f only one run, and so well did Lohm ann and Lockw ood, particularly the form er, bow l that in less than an hour and a half the innings was over, the last seven wickets having added 65 runs. The best batting was shown by Stewart and Le Fleming, both of whom shaped in excellent style. Though they were 110 behind on the first innings Kent made such a good start on going in again that it seemed at one tim e as if Surrey might, after all, have a heavy sum to face at the finish. Mr. M archant and Alec Hearne again opened well, scoring 51 for the first wicket. Thanks to the good batting of Alec Hearne, Stewart, and Le Fleming, the innings was saved with only three batsmen out, and as the wicket was faster, and in favour of run getting, a big score seemed by no means unlikely. A t i!20, however, Hearne retired for a well played 40, and, just as he was thoroughly well in, L e Fleming was run out. This was very bad luck for Kent, as he had played in free as well as attractive style, and was looking very dangerous. After his retirement the end soon cam e, and as the remaining batsmen only added 30 the innings, after all, only reached 173. Surrey were left with 64 to win, and by capital cricket these were got by W. W. Read and Baldwin in fifty minutes. Surrey accordingly won with ten wickets in hand. Lohraann’s bowling for Surrey was one of the Vest features of the match. He took nine wickets in the m atch at a cost of just over twelve runs a piece. S u r r e y .— First Innings. K e n t .

The Essex eleven, after being in a m inority of 51 runs on the first innings, played up so w ell at Leyton on Saturday m orning that the game was left drawn in a very interesting condition. The satisfactory ending was due in a great measure to the excellent batting of Burns and Mr. Hailey, who added 95 for the fifth wicket in the second innings of Essex. The form er’s batting was one of the m ost notable features of the match. In the two innings he scored 103 runs for once out. On the other side Pougher waa the m ost successful batsman, scoring 68 of 137 from the bat. His all­ round cricket w*s invaluable for Leicestershire, as he also took ten Essex wickets at a cost of 105 runs. Mr. Kortright bowled with great success for Essex. He delivered 147 balls for 45 runs and eight wickets. At the finish Essex were 153 runs on with four wickets in hand. E s s e x . First Innings. Mr.H. G.
