Cricket 1892

SEPT. 1, 1892 CRICKET t ' A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME; 4 0 1 M r. L . C. H . P a l a i r e t (Somersetshire) SOMERSETSHIRE v. YORKSH IRE. The Somersetshire Eleven, who have been showing such consistently good all-round cricket this season, outdid all their previous performances in this match, at Taunton, at the end of last week. Their brilliant victory over N otts had given the greatest satisfaction in the County, and, as a consequence, the next fixture attracted m ore than ordinary interest. Lord Hawke was not able to captain Yorkshire, and the Eleven suffered from the absence of Hunter, whose injured hand still kept him out of the team. Yorkshire were fortunate enough to win the toss on Thursday, and, on a capital wicket, were seen to considerable advantage. Smith and Jackson set the side a good exam ple of free cricket, scoring over 80 before they were parted. The m ajority o f the later batsmen, too, played up well, and there were, in all, nine double figures on the side. Tunnicliffe, Sellers. Peel, and Wainwright in par­ ticular shaped well, and mainly through their batting Yorkshire reached a total of 299. The innings had lasted four hours and a quarter, so that the rate of scoring was about 70 an hour. usual, Hewett and Palairet opened Somerset­ shire’s innings, and so freely did they score off the Yorkshire bowling that in the forty-five minutes that remained on Thursday they wer9 still in with the total 78—Hewett 72, and Palairet 82. Just before the end of the day Palairet was missed at the wicket, and this mistake proved a very serious one for Yorkshire. The two batsmen Indeed made light of all the bowlers opposed to them , and so brilliant was the hitting that 278 were added before Hewett was at last out, bowled by Peel. At luncheon the total was 301, and so fast did Hewett score on the resumption that his last 83 runs were got in thirty-five minutes. The partnership of the two amateurs had produced a new record in first-class cricket. Previously the highest aggregate for the first wicket had been the 283 o f W. Q. G race'andB. B. Cooper for the Gentlemen of the South against the Players of the South at the Oval in 1869, and this they beat by no less than 63 runs. Hewett’s 201 was a m asterly display of punishing batting. In his innings of three hours and a half he only gave one chance, and that was from a hard hit when he had made 189. Palairet stayed nearly half an hour longer, and was then out to a fine catch in the slips. He was m issed on Thursday night, as already stated, at the wicket when he had made 28. This, though, was the one mistake, and as a display of attractive batting it was perfect. He gets so well over the ball that he is rarely in diffi­ culties, and his style m ight well be copied with advantage by yonng cricketerp. Mr. Hedley, too, punished the Yorkshire bowlers severely. In just under two hours and a half he scored 102 out of 211 runs, with only one chance just before he was out. Somersetshire’s innings eventually ended for 592, and with its close play ceased for the day. The total, we may add, is a long way the largest recorded in an im portant match this season. It is, too, in another aspect remarkable, as it is five years, we believe, since three scores of a hundred were made in a first-class Inter-County match. Yorkshiro would have had 293 to avert an innings defeat, had the weather held up. Rain however fell heavily all Saturday, and Somersetshire had to be content with all the best of the unfinished game. The high scoring on each side only tends to bring out two bowling perform ances in bolder relief. Tyler took seven Yorkshire wickets for 111, but Peel’s figures were even m ore noteworthy. Under the circumstanceH his analysis of 59 overs for 133 runs and seven wickets in such a long out­ ing was a m ost creditable achievement. Y o r k s h ir e . Mr. E. Smith, b Tyler 45 Mr. F. S.
