Cricket 1893

AUG. 3, 1693 CRICKET i A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME* 315 K EN T v. YORKSH IRE. The- Kent eleven had shown such excellent all-round cricket this season that special interest was attached to their m eeting with Yorkshire. There was quite a chance, indeed, that Kent might be dangerous rivals of Yorkshire for the premiership, and, therefore, both sides strained every nerve to get their full strength for the m atch begun at Blackheath on M onday. In this respect Kent were fortunate in being able to secure the services of W . H. Patterson, while Yorkshire were without A. Sellers, a great loss on his consistently good form this season. Kent got the choice of innings, but the heavy rainfall had affected the wicket even at the start, and the first knock under the circum stances was not of any real benefit. The Kent batsmen, indeed, found run-getting very difficult, and W ainwright, in particular, puzzled them so much, that, though the innings lasted two hours and ten minutes, the total only am ounted to 77. Just before the close rain fell heavily for som e time, and this made the ground a little easier for the rest o f the day. Still, the Yorkshirem en would have fared badly but for Tunnicliffe and Brown. These two put on 67 for the second wicket, and the latter was still in when play ceased on M onday night having contributed 56 out o f 93 in the last hour and a half without a mistake. On Tuesday m orning the wicket favoured the bowlers considerably. Still the last half of the Yorkshire batsm en showed excellent cricket even under this disadvantage, and two hours elapsed before the innings was over. Brown increased his score by 25 before he was stumped. He had been in two hours and a quarter, and a better display of cricket has rarely been seen. He never gave a chance, and his 81, made as it was on a difficult wicket, was an exceptionally fine performance. Wainwright also shaped well, and even if his 51 was not absolutely without a mistake, his innings, which lasted two hours, was w orthy of high praise. Being 143 to the bad, Kent had really no chance, and with eight batsm en out for 40, a very small total seemed likely. As it was, George Hearne showed really brilliant cricket when all seemed over. He was batting two hours without an actual mistake, and, as will be seen, he scored 81 in the m atch w ithout being out. W right and Walter Hearne, too, gave som e small assistance, and in the end the total reached 132, a m uch better score than at one tim e appeared probable. York­ shire won by an innings and eleven runs. Hirst and W ainwright had m uch to do with their success. The form er’s six wickets cost only 38 runs, W ainwright’s nine, ten runs apiece. K e n t .

The Gloucestershire eleven, in losing the toss at Trent Bridge on Monday, lost any chance they ever had of winning their return m atch with Notts. The hom e team, fortunate enough to get the choice of innings, made good use of their opportunities, and in spite of more than one short interruption from showers, 269 had been got with only eight batsm en out. when rain stopped play for the day at out three- quarters o f an hour before the usual time. Gloucestershire did well to get rid of bhrewsbury for nine, but the Captain and Gunn made full amends for this early [failure, and later on Daft and bbacklock indifferent styles were seen to dis­ tinct advantage. Dixon and Gunn added 101 for the second wicket in seventy-five minutes, and the former, who was fourth out at 180 was in two hours and a-half for his 103, got w ithout a chance. Heavy rain overnight entirely altered the condition o f ground, and the last two wickets only added four runs cn the following morning. The Gloucestershiie eleven in their turn found run-getting very diffi­ cult. and Attewell and Shacklock, supported by excellent fielding, did very mucri as they liked on the treacherous wicket. The pair, except for two Covers when W ilkinson displaced Shacklcck, were unchanged during the m atch, and hoth were singularly successful. In Gloucestershire's first innings W. G. made 20 of the first 29, and Capt. Luard towards the end, hit freely. In the second K itcat carried out his bat for a very useful score of 23 Of the other katsmen E.M. and Ferris alone got double figures and before five o'clock Notts had w on by an innings and 130 ruus. Attewell took eleven wickets in the m atch for 83, and Shacklock eight for 50 runs. One of the test features of Notts’ out cricket, too, was the field­ ing of A. O. Jones, who caught five batsmen at short slip. W . H. Brain, the Oxford wicket-keeper, took Board’s place in the Gloucestershire eleven Ferris got six wickets of Notts for 74, not a bad perform ance in such :a long innings N o t t s . Mr. J. A.

The plucky cricket shown by Surrey against the Australians last week had revived the hopes of their supporters to such an extent, as to lead to the belief that they would make a good fight with Lancashire in the return m atch begun at the Oval on Monday. The ill-luck which has attended the Southerners lately in the toss was again how­ ever in evidence, and for the fifth time in succes- sion they had to take the field. Lancashire, though without A.C. McLaren, too. m ade gond use >f first knock on an excellent wicket, as will be seen from the fact that their innings, which lasted three hours-and-a quarter, realised 265. Hornby, who resum ed his place in the eleven, began in characteristic style, and A. W&rd and he put on 69 in forty-five minutes for the first wicket. The best stand, however, was by Briggs and Tinsley, who added 90 for the sixth partnership in less than an hour. Briggs’ batting was decidedly the feature of the inningp. He hit all round with great resolu­ tion and his cuts and off drives in particular were remarkably fine. During the hour and forty minutes he was in 178 were added and of these he contributed 11?, one of the best displays o f punishing cricket we have seen for a long time, without a real chance. Sutrey began wel), thanks to Abel and Hayward, w ho scored 63 before the latter was out. Still by the end of the day three batsm en were out for 86, and on the following morning Briggs and Mold proved so successful that the innings came to an end for an addition of only 60 runs. This left the hom e team in a minority o f I 19, and as in the follow-on Shuter, Abe’, and Hayward were out for the oad nine the prospects of a good fini6h were only small. In spite, too, o f a fine innings-by Walter Read, who scored 61 in an hour and a half in his best style and w ithout the shadow of a mistake, the steady cricket of Baldwin, who stayed with W .W . for an hour and a quarter for only nineteen runs, and a useful score of 32 by Key, when the seventh wicket fell Surrey were o^ly 12 on. Lockwood, however, towards the last hit with great judgm ent and confidence, and it was a pity, considering that hescored 51 of the last 71, ’hat he found no one to stay with him. Briggs again bowled with great success and his figures for the m atch showed eleven wickets for 115 runs. A t the finish Lancashire wanted 84 to win, and the Surrey bowling proved so easy that the runs were got in an hour, with only the captain out. L an ­ cashire accordingly had an easy victory with nine wickets to spare. L a n c a s h ir e . First Innings. Tinsley, b Richard­ son .......................... Baker, b Richardson C.
