Cricket 1893

1.40 CRICKET ,i A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAT 18, 1893 SURREY v. LEICESTERSHIRE. In tbe absence of Lohm ann, Abel, and W ood, Surrey put about its best available e'even ioto the field at the Oval last Thursday to oppose Leices­ tershire. Baldwin, who had played so well against Warwickshire earlier in the week, was left cut. Vut the iDclusion o f Lockw ocd andMauriceRead added considerably to the strength of the all-round cricket. Leicestershire, too, had a representative side, including two plavers new to the County, in the persons of Mr. G. W . Hillyard, w ho played for Hants labt year, and Whiteside, the Lancashire wicket-keeper, now qualified for Leicestershire by residence. Surrey, who lost the toss, were out in the field just over two hours and a half. They were lucky in getting that dangerous hitter Mr. de Trafford out the very first ball of the match, and Warren, when he had only m ade four runs. A very sm art piece of fielding by Ayres threw Pougher out, and three of the best batsm en were down for 24. Holland, Chapman, and Mr. Hillyard and Tom lin were seen to better advantage, and tbe last named was still in at luncheon time, when the total was 120 for six wickets. On the resumption Messrs. W right and Arnall scored very freely off the Surrey bowling, and thanks to their hitting and the good cricket of Tom lin the total reached 196, runs having been got at the rate of about seventy-five an hour. The chief feature of the innings was the sound batting o f Tomlin. In an hour and twenty minutes he made 65 runs and without any hing like a chance. Surrey were left with a little over two hours and a half for batting on Thursday, and in this time, precisely the duration of the Leicestershire innings, scored 33 m ore with half their wickets in hand. The principal stand was by Read and Hayward at the end of the day. W ith the latter’s dismistal play closed. Going in first he had scored 100 out of 229 runs. From the first he played correct as we'l as attractive cricket, and his inniDgs, w hich lasted jnst urder two hours and a half, was one o f exceptional prom ise. It is said that he gave a chance at the w icket when he had got six, and certainly he made tw o hits afterwards either of w hich m ight have been fatal. Still, he placed all the different bowling with judgm ent and confidence, and his perform ance was the more m eritorious as he had hardly thoroughly recovered from an attack o f influenza, and was evidently very tired towards the finish. On Friday m orning Read, who had hit vigorously overnight, was soon out, and a<3 the last five wickets only add<d 49, the innings closed for 278. Whiteside, w ho had put one of his fingers ou% had to retire not long after the resum ption, and as he was unable to take further p«rt in the game, Leicestershire had only ten to bat in the second hands. At the outset Mr. de Trafford and W arren scored freely off Sharpe, until the latter fell to a very fine catch high up with the left hand at point. After this no one made a very long stay against Lockw ood ard Richardson. Pougher was again thrown out, this tim e byAyres from third man, and the total only reached 102. L eft with 21 to win Mr. Sbuter sent in Ayres and Henderson, and they were got off eighteen balls, leaving Surrey the winners with all their ten Wickets in hand, Mr, Stocks, a young amateur, made a very favourable im pression for Leicestershire. He bowls m edium pace, left, with a nice delivery, and with m ore experience in good com pany should be cf use to the county. L eicestersh ire . First Innings. Mr. C.

LANCASHIRE. Though fairlywell represented in bowling,M.C.C. only had a m oderate side to oppose Lancashire in this m atih at Lord’s on Thursday and Friday. Still, the eleven were able to claim a little the best o f the game throughout, to the extent in the en d of a victory by one wicket after a very exciting finish. Thursday’ s cricket am ounted to the com ­ pletion of an innings by each side and the com ­ m encem ent of a second by Lancashire. The chief features of the day were the stand of A.Smith and Briggs, w ho added £8 for the third wicket of Lancashire, and the good cricket o f Rawlin and Davidson for the Club.1The two professionals, who were accountable for 108 of 146 from the bat, were both deserving o f high praise. Rawiin,who went in with the score at 27, was last out, having been in altogether an hour and three-quarters without a mistake. Oakley, who is engaged with the Sefton Club, made his first appearance for Lancashire in this m atch. He is a m edium pace left handed bowler and on this occasion proved very effective, taking five w ickets for 35 runp. Lancashire, who bad scoied thirteen oh Thursday Dight without the loes of a wicket, only added 106 before the innings closed. Baker and Tinsley were again the chief scorers, and this pair with Ward alone offered real resistance to Rawlin, who took five wickets at a cost of just seven runs apiece. With 103 to win, M .C.C.'made a very unpropitious start. Alec Hearne was a second tim e bowJed by Mold w ithout scoring, as was Carpenter a little later, after the dismissal of Davidson and Storer. In spite, too, of the fine cricket o f Mr. Foley, who had gone in first, eight wickets were down with the total only 41. W ith 62 wanting to win, the chances were all on the side o f Lancashire when J. T. Hearne cam e in. As it was, the latter playecl with pluck as well as judgm ent, and the game was a tie when, after an hour, he was bowled for an invaluable score of nineteen. Martin, the last man, though not quite at hie ease, managed to drive Mo’d for three, and thus M C.C. were lefc with a very creditable victory with only one wicket to spare. T oo much praise can hardly be bestowed on Mr. Foley, Going in first, he was in just over two hours, and his 62 not out was an attractive exhi­ bition of upstan ding cricket w ithout a mistake.

YORKSHIRE. The Yorkshire Eleven comm enced their Inter- County m atches auspiciously at the end o f last week, defeating Gloucestershire at the Spa Ground Gloucester, on Saturday afternoon, by nine wickets. Neither side was fully represented, as while Mr. R. W. Rice, the young Oxonian, who batted so well for his county in 1692, was abrent from Gloucestershire, Messrs. F. S. Jackson and K. Smith were loth unable to help Yorkshire. Mr. W. G. Grace was fortunate enough to win the toss, and Gloucestershire were batting just under three hours for a total of 235. The main credit of a fairly good perform ance rested with W . G. and Fainter. In a few minutes over the hour tbe two batsmen added 104 runs. Of these Painter’s share was 81, and as an exhibition of free and well timed hitting it was quite up to his best standard, alto­ gether free from a chance. W. G., who was in close on two hours for his fifty four, was also seen to excellent advantage He was quite at his ease from the first, and his success, it goei without saying, gave general satisfaction. Mr. Kitcat p ’ayed good cricket during the latter part of the innings, and found as the last a useful partner in Board. The tenth wicket added 3j. of which Board’s share was 23. Gloucestershire’s weakness in bowling was fully proved when Yorkshire went in to bat, for the innings lasted close on five hour i and a-half, Tunnicliffe and Marshall set the side a good example at the outset, scoring 92 in avout the same number of minutes. Mr. Sellars waa bowled after m akirg 23. but Wardall was ptill in at the end of the first day. In an hour and three quarters 161 ruDshad been scored, and of these, Wardali’s contribution was 77, with one chance in the long field, when he had got 29. On Friday morr ing. *v8inwright helped Wardall to add 61, and then saw the latter bowled. O f 218 made in the two hours and thirty- five minutes he was batting, W ardall had scored 106. Except for the chance already mentioned, he made no mistake, and his innings was an exemplary display of sound and confident cricket Later on, Ulyett was seen to great advantage, and just at the last Hirst and Hunter hit so freely that the tenth wicket added 52 runs, Gloucester* shire had to go in for their second innings on Friday afternoon in a minority of 150 runs. Th?a time Messrs. Kitcat and Radcliffe Vegan tbe batting, and though the latter again failed tu score, when play ceased at the end of the dav, the score, thanksto Messrs. Ferris and Kitcat, was 62 with only two wickets down. Even then, there sremed to te an outside chance that Gloucester­ shire might make something of a match. As it was, the batting on Saturday morning was altogether disappointing, and the first hour saw the dismissal of six m ore wickets for an addition of only 28 runs. Some plucky battirg by Murch, Roberts and Board gav« a m om entary interest to the game. The''twolast named in particular scored freely, making 42 runs for the tenth wicket in lets than half the number c f minutes. Still Yorkshire were only left in the end with three runs to win, and as thfse cost them one Katsman, they were Iff tin possession cf an easy victory with nine wickets to spara. W ain^richt and Hirst each took nine wickets for Yorkshire—at the same cost, too, of 123 inns. G loucestershire . First Innings. Dr. W. G.
