Cricket 1893

164 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 1, 1893 SUSSEX v. SOMERSETSHIRE. Following up their sensational victory over Gloucestershire, the Sussex eleven gained their second success of tbe week at Brighton on Friday, when they beat Somersetshire ty nine wickets. Som ersetshire had not its best side with Capt. Hedley, the brothers Palairet, and Y.T. Bill away. On the other hand Mr. G. L. W ilson, who had batted so well against Gloucestershire, was unabie to help Sussex, who were also w ithout Mr. New- h«m . Somersetshire, who had the advantage o f batting first on a fast wicket, were dismissed before lunch on Thursday for a total of 137. Six of the best batsmen were out for 55, and the only stand of the innings was byMessrs.Challen and Poynton, w ho put on 57 runs for the seventh wicket in 45 minutes. Mr. Challen, who went in first wicket down, was seventh out,having been in an hour and twenty minutes for his 57, which was free from a fault. Hum phreys’ lobs were attended with the same success as against Gloucestershire earlier in the week. Be took 6 ix wickets in seventy-six balls at a cost of 54 runs. Though Sussex had only three honrs and a half for batting on Thursday, in that tim e they scored 346 for the loss of eight wickets. The main credit of som e fast iun gettiDg rested with Messrs. Brann and Smith. These two am a­ teurs punished the Somersetshire bowling after a tim e with great severity, $o m uch so that in an hour and 10 minutes the score was increased by 134 runs. Mr. Brann s batting throughout showed re markable power. In one hundred minutes he scored 120 out of 180 while he was in, and w ithout a real chance. The Sussex innings occupied ten minutes on Friday, and as only eight were added Somersetshire had to go in against a big total of 354. This time Messrs. H ewettand Fowler, who again opened the tatting, were seen to better advantage, and 70 was up before the atter was out. Mr. Hewett was foui th out at 158, o f which be had made 83. Be was only batting an hour and three quarters, and although not altogether free from mistake it was still m arked by great judg­ m ent and precision. T h ou.h som e fairly good cricket wasi shown by the tail, in the end Sussex were left with 47, to win. These cost them one bats­ m an, so that Somersetshire were beaten by nine wickets.

Surrey’s victory over Notts earlier in the week gave additional interest to their match with Middlesex, at the Oval, begun on Thursday last. Besides, it was the first important fixture of the season on the Surrey ground, and hence it was no surprise to find a large attendance on each day. Ih e Surrey eleven had two changes from that which defeated Notts, as Abel made way for Maurice Read, and Marshall slood down to allow Wood to take the wicket. In winning the toss it was thought Surrey bad gained a great advantage. Whatever there might have 1een was lost by the failures of the early batsmen. Coming from the slow pitch at Nottingham, to a comparatively fast grouud at the Oval, they fared very badly, so much so that four wickets were down for only nine runs. Bad the subsequent chances, too, been taken, in all protability Surrey’s total would only have teen very small. As it wa«. Mr. Key and Baldwin, who put on 61 for the seveuih wicket, were both missed. btill, their stand in face of the excellent bowling of Be*rne and Rawlin was productive of the test cricket on the side, and Mr. Key’s 47 not out, though marred by two early chances, was in the latter part at all events by no means unworthy of him. W ien Surrey took the field they started well in ge ting rid of such a dangerous batsman as Mr. S oddart for only six runs.There, however,iheir successes ended. Messrs. Webfe and Scott, ’ hou°h »oth had narrow escapes of teing bowled more than once, scored at a great rate when they got set. Richardson and Lock­ wood had rtther hard luck at times, tut still both batsmen scored at an equally fust rate. The part­ nership had in an hour and three-quarters added 154runp, of which Mr. Weble’s share was exactly one half. Be lost no opportunity of scoring, and though a trifle lucky at times in placing the ball, he gave no chance. Mr. 8cott stayed till the total was 195, when he was towled. In the early part of his innings he was quite at his ) est. After he had made 50. however, he was missed three times, and this detracted from the merit of an otherwise good performance.Mr. Nepean later on was missed twice and ic was in fact mainly due to the faulty fielding thatMiddlesex were able to claim such a big advan­ tage on ihe first day. When play ceased the score was 944 for peven wickets. and as 73 were added by the outstanding batemec, Middlesex had a big lea I of 395 on the first innings. In spite, too, of some vigorous c»icket by Mr. W. W Read, ic hardly looked as if Middlesex would have to go in again. Pome brilliant hittiog by Mr. Shuter andBrockwe I however, improved Surrey’s position materially, helping to add 76 runs in fifty minutes. Thanks to this timely stand Middlesex had in the end to go in to make 32runs,whichcost them the three best batsmen on the side. In the match J. T. Bearne took nine Surrey wickets at a cost of jnst over twelve runs apiece. S urrey . First Innings. Second Innings.

The Gloucestershire eleven were seen to better advantage in their m atch begun at Maidstone on Thursday than earlier in the week at Brighton, and won on Saturday afternoon with eight wickets to spare. Gloucestershire, who went in first, were batcm g till half-past four o’clock on Thursday for a total of 218. The stand of the innings was just at the last by Captain Luard and Roberts. They were together an hour and ten minutes, and their partnership for the ninth wicket realized 87 runs. Captain Luard hit with great freedom for his 69, which only contained one chance, when he had made 2<’. Kent, who in a little over an hour on Thursday afternoon had m ade 50 for the loss of four good batsmen, were only able to add 80 on the following m orning in an hour and a half for the six rem aining wickets. Mr. Keeling, of Bick’ey Park, w ho made bis first appearance for Kent, scored 24 in neat style. Otherwise, except by Mr. F ox.n o great resistance was iffered to the bow>ing o f Mr. Ferris, who was very successful, taking hix wickets at a cost o f only 37 runs. In the follow on, though Mr. Marchant was soon out, Mr. Le llem ingand Alec Bearne put on 65 for the second wicket by excellent cricket. Iheir example, too. found worthy imitators in Messrs. Knowles and W ilson, who put on 71 runs during their partnership. They were together an hour and ten minutes, and their batting, in particular that of Mr. Knowles, was worthy o f high praise. Mr. B. M. G race’s lobs dismissed both batsmen, and he proved so effective in conjunction with the fast bowling o f Roberts that four wickets fell for an addition of only 21 runs. On Friday night Kent were 96 on, with two wickets to fall, and as these only added nine runs on the following morning, Gloucestershire at the finish were left with li ;6 to win. vv.G. took in Mr. Ferris with him to com ­ mence the task,and they were together for an hour and ten minutes. The total was* 91 when Mr. Ferris was bowled, and after Mr. Radcliffe’s dis­ missal. Painter helped to knock off the remaining runs, leaving W.G. to carry out his bat for an ex­ cellent 42.
