Cricket 1892

450 " CRICKET: A WEEKLY EEOORD OF THE GAME; SEPT 22, 1892 MR. W. W. READ’S ELEVENv. SIXTEEN OF REIGATE. Mr. Read’s eleven, composed though it was of nine members of the Surrey eleven, one of the second team, and another, was too heavily handicapped on Saturday at Reigate, in having to meet a sixteen includ­ ing Messrs. Newham and Brann. As it was, Mr. Brann, who hit in his mo3t resolute style, wcore 230 out of the Sixteen’s total of 332. He made his runs in two houis and forty minutes, and though he gave several chances, it was none the less a remarkable display of fearless hitting. In one over he scored twenty-two, and in each of the next two eighteen, or fifty-eight in three successive overs. S ixte e n of R e ig ate and D istr ic t .

The scoring on both sides was fairly good, and in the two days 585 runs were made for thirty-nine wickets. In the second innings the Twenty-two did a good perform­ ance scoring 237 for the loss of only seven bats­ men. Of these, H. C. Preece, the captain of the Bees C.C., made 93 without an actual mistake. At the finish the Twenty-two were 163 on with fourteen wickets to fall. Twenty-two o f T u fn e ll P ark . First Innings.

T he conclusion of the second match of the Hastings Week brought first-class cricket to a close for this year. With a promptitude which reflected great credit on all concerned, the averages, too, were published in the daily papers of the following morning. Their enterprise enables us ourselves to give the different tables, which we reproduce with a dutiful expression of gratitude. The figures tell their own tale, and we do not propose to make any lengthy comments. It is gratifying to be able to record that the season was a success from every point of view. The weather, with some few exceptions, was fine, and the cricket generally, with a prevalence of good wickets, full of interest. In batting, the most noteworthy feature was the marked success of some of the amateurs. It is significant, indeed, that the three best aggregates were all re­ corded to amateur cricketers. H. T. Hewett scored the greatest number of runs (1407), only four more than were credited to A. E. Stoddart. The captain of the Oxford Eleven, L. C. H. Palairet, gained third place, a distinction well merited by his consistently fine form throughout the season. Stanley Scott’s scoring at the commencement was phenomenal; as it was, he had the fine average for the year of 39 runs. W. G. Grace and W. W. Read, though the latter began badly, both upheld their reputations. Nothing was perhaps more gratifying to the general public than W.G.’s excellent record—a substantial proof that he still retains most of, if not all, his marvellous powers Gloucestershire, too, had the credit of bringing to the front a new batsman of exceptional promise. Before this year, R.W. Rice was unknown, and one summer has beensufficient tostamphimas a stone- waller of very high merit. Among pro­ fessionals, Shrewsbury, in spite of a most disappointing commencement, is an easy first. Gunn, though not in the best health, played consistently fine cricket, and more than one good innings just at the finish enabled Abel to take a very prominent position. Henderson, A. Smith, Alec Hearne and Wainwright came more prominently to the front, a fitting reward of good and consistent batting. Lockwood was emphatically the bowk-r of the year. His pace and the amount of devil in his bowling mide him suc­ cessful against all classes of batsmen, and on all kinds of wickets. Mold, Briggs, Attewell, J. T. Hearne, Loh- mann. and Peel of the older hands, had aftir him the best figures, though the strain of the winter’s work was evident in more than one ease. Tyler and Wainwright, of the younger player?, both added to their reputations materially, and the latter was, on his form, oneof the best all-round cricketers of the year. In tbe case of the amateur bowlers, it was “ Eclipse first, the rest nowhere.” S. M. J. Woods’ bowling was quite one of the best features of the season. His figures were remarkable, a brilliant record of hard work, as well as of consistent success.
