Cricket 1893

JUNE 22, 1893 0RICKET g A WEEKLY EECOED U# THE GAME* 217 SUSSEX v. M IDD LESEX. The Sussex eleven, w ho had been scoring so consistently well in their previous fixtures, were seen to disadvantage at all points in this match, begun at Brighton last Thursday. As a rule, this year, the run-getting has been considerably above the average on the Sussex County Ground, and the poor show of the hom e eleven was the more disappointing, as the wicket was in excellent condition. Middlesex, who won the toss, were in till past half-past four o ’clock on Thursday after­ noon. The early batting seemed to indicate a m uch higher total than 204. Mr. Stoddart, who is in grand form just now, scored very fast, as is his wont, and Mr. Webbe had only made 32 out of 122 scored at the fall of the first wicket. Mr. Stoddart was second out with 20 added. He had m ade 95 out of 142 in an hour and three-quarters, and though his innings was not without fault, it was a characteristic display of lively and attrac­ tive cricket. So far, H um phreys’ lobs had not been effective, bnt afterwards they m et with m arked success. The only batsmen, indeed, who offered any great resistance were Mr. W . S. Hale, of the Ham pstead Club, who made a creditable first appearance for Middlesex, and Rawlin, who put on 42 for the sixth wicket. Humphreys, as will be seen, bowled with excellent results. He took all the last eight wickets at a cost of just over ten runs apiece. Though Sussex had less than an hour and a half left for batting on Thurs­ day night, they were all dismissed in this time. Four batsm en got double figures, but still the total was only 7G, and J. T. Hearne and Rawlin bowled w ithout a change, as will be seen. Following on in a m inority of 188, Sussex fared m uch better. Bean and Mr. Murdoch, after Mr. W ilson’s dismissal, scored freely, and the partner­ ship for the second wicket realised 72 in an hour. W hile Messrs. Newham and Brann were together, the score was 150 w ith only three batsm en out. After the form er’s dismissal, however, Rawlin’s bow ling prov d singularly successful, and as the rem aining batsm en only added 65, Sussex were but 28 on after all. Mr. M urdoch’s 50 was an innings w orthy of his reputation. He made no mistake during the hour and forty minutes he was in. Messrs. Ford and M cGregor, who went in to get the sm all balance required, knocked off the 28 in fifteen minutes, so that Middlesex won with all their wickets in hand. Rawlin resumed his place in the Middlesex eleven with the best results. He took nine wickets at a cost of 93 runs. M id d le se x . First Innings. Mr. A. E. Stoddart, c Butt, b Bean .. ... 95 Mr. A.

Meyer, B.A., 4th M»y to i.0th July 189 3.-Advt THE E IGH TH AUSTRALIAN TEAM . TW E LFT H IMATCH—v. SOUTH OF {ENGLAND. W ith Middlesex, Sussex, and Somersetshire all engaged, the Surrey comm ittee had some difficulty in collecting an eleven to represent the South in this fixture at the Oval at the end of last week. Fortunately, Cambridge University had no m atch on, and with four of their best men, W . G. and Murch from Gloucestershire, Mr. L. W ilson and A. Hearne from Kent, and Richardson, Brockwell, aud Mr. W . W . Read from Surrey, a fairly good side, one good enough, at least, to obtain an easy victory, was ultimately got together. On the other hand, the Australians were not in full force, as Mr. George Giffen thought it advisable to take a rest, and Mr. Blackham ’s finger had not suffi­ ciently recovered to allow him to resume his place in the eleven. W .G . was lucky enough to win the toss, and took Mr. Douglas in with him to bat. The chief features of the innings, which produced a total of 305, was the batting of W . G. and Hearne. W . G. was in an hour and a [half, and though he had a fair share of luck, his play all round the wicket was marked by all his usual judgm ent and precision. Alec H eam e’s 120 was the great incident of the first day’s cricket. Like W .G.his'perform ance was not faultless,indeed, the Australian fielding throughout was very far from up to the best standard. Still, taken as a whole, his innings, which only lasted four hours, was an admirable exposition of all-round cricket. At tim es he hit well, and with m uch greater freedom than is his habit, and his play generally showed a variety not usually associated with his batting. Am ong his hits were one six and seven­ teen fours. A well-judged catch in the long field dismissed Mr. Lyons when the Australians went in late on Thursday afternoon, and in the hour that remained two more wickets fell for only 41 runs in all. On Friday morning Messrs. Bruce and Graham batted fairly well, and a little later Messrs Turner and Trum ble scored freely. Still, there was nothing to call for any enthusiasm, and the innings was over before one o’clock for 142. Going in again in a m inority of 163, the Australians made a m uch better start. Mr. Lyons scored three fours in Richardson’s first over, and with 45 up for no wicket there seemed s >me chance of a - good score. A fine ball from Richardson, how­ ever, spread-eagled Mr. Lyons’ stumps, and then Richardson and Brockwell were so successful that four wickets fell for an addition of only 35 runs. The only really noteworthy feature of the second part of the innings, too, although Messrs. Turner and Trum ble we e again of use, was the free and attractive batting of Mr. Bruce. Though a little shaky at first, after a time he scored well all round the wicket, and his cricket was decidedly the m ost attractive of the day. The innings was saved with Messrs. Turner and Trumble in, but tho form er was given, as it appeared wrongly, run out, and as Me srs. Coningham and Jarvis, the latter for the second time in the m atch, again failed to score, the innings closed with onlv six runs on. Three balls from Mr. Trum ble sufficed to produce the seven wanted to win, and the South accordingly won with ten wickets to spare. S outh of E ngland . First Innings.
