Cricket 1893

AUG. 24,1893 OBlCKETs A WEEKLY RECOKD OF THE GAMEi 359 S O M E R S E T S H IR E v. S U R R E Y . T h e Surrey eleven avenged their defeat by S om ersetshire at the O val last m onth at T aunton on F riday last, w inning the return m atch w ith eight w ickets to spare. O w ing to a slight sun­ stroke H . T. H ew ett w as unable to play, and i >his absence W ood s captain ed the Som ersetshire eleven. O n the other hand, as C. M. W ells, w ho w as expected to help Surrey, w as an absentee, a place w as again fou n d fo r Street, w ho had batted so w ell again st W arw ickshire earlier in th e week. L u ck , w h ich had o f late been altogether against him , this tim e favoured th e Surrey captain in the toss, and Som ersetshire w ere out in the field till nearly five o’clock on T hursday a ftern oon . T he play o f th e earlier Surrey batsm en did n ot suggest such a lon g outing, as the total, w hen the third w icket fell, w as only 41. F aulty fielding subse­ quently told greatly to S om ersetshire’s disadvan­ tage, and W . W . R ead, B rockw ell, and H enderson scored so well, that after lu n ch eon 131 were added fo r the last six w ickets. H enderson’s 49 w as a particu larly g ood innings, w ith ou t a chance Only forty-five m inutes w ere left fo r play w hen S om ersetshire w ent in on T hursday evening, and in this tune 35 runs w ere m ade for the loss of tw o g ood batsm en, L . P alairet and H edley. On F riday m orning the S om ersetshire eleven m ade a very disappointing show against the Surrey bow lers, w oods h it w ith his usual vigour, bu t no one else offered any real opp osition , and the eight rem aining w ickets w ere dism issed fo r an addition o f 105 run s. In the follow -on , L o ck w o o d had strained h is leg so badly, that he had to leave the field, and Surrey consequen tly lost the help of their best b w ler. Still B rockw ell and R ichardson, as events proved, w ere qu ite equal to the dism issal o f the S om ersetshire eleven. Seven w ickets w ere dow n fo r 69, and it w as on ly a n oth er display o f punishing batting b y W oods, w ith som e help from i.ill, that enabled Som erset to save the innings. A s it was, Surrey lo st tw o batsm en, both o f w hom fell to H edley’s bow ling, in m aking the 24 runs w anted to w in. L ock w ood , it w ill be seen, on ly delivered seven overs fo r Surrey in ih e m atch , and the b ru n t o f the bow lin g was borne b y R ich ard son and B rockw ell. O ne of the best features, too, in the crick et o f th e w inning side w as the w icket-keeping o f W ood. In Som ersetshire's secon d innings he caught four batsm en. S u r r e y . F irst Innings.

T he all-round crick et o f the Sussex eleven in the return m atch w ith L an cash ire at B righton on T hursday and F riday con trasted very unfavour­ ably w ith that show n in the first fixture early in June a t M anchester. B ean, it w ill b e rem em bered, played a very fine innings o f 186, and the result was an easy w in fo r Sussex. O w ing to an in jury to his hand B ean was unable to pla y last w eek, and his absence, it need hardly b e added, w as an im m ense loss to the h om e side. Sussex, though fortunate enough to get ch oice o f innings, did not profit m u ch by the opp ortu n ity o f first knock. Six batsm en got dou ble figures, bu t even then the total w as on ly 151 as the ou tcom e o f tw o hours and three-quarter’s battin g. W ilson ’s 49 w as the one innings in any w ay n otew orthy, and h e was in a few m inutes over the hour fo r his 49. T w o hours and a half rem ained for play w hen L an ca ­ shire w ent in on T hursday afternoon, and in this tim e 194 runs w ere g ot fo r the loss o f three w ickets. M cLaren w as stum ped off th e lob s at 47, and then W ard and Sugg added 117, o f w hich the latter, w ho had on ly given one ch a n ce at 43, had m ade 64 in his best style. T h e light w as not over g ood w hile A . G. Steel and W a rd were batting, and ju st a fter th e form er h a d been dism issed play ceased, w ith 85 o f the 194 scored to the credit o f A lbert W ard , w ho w as n ot out. O akley (n ot ou t 4) helped W a rd to add 57 on Friday m orning, and then W a rd w as finely caught a t square-leg. H e had m ade 126 ou t o f a total o f 268, and no fault o f any kind cou ld be found w ith his innings, w h ich had lasted ju st over three hours and a half. A fter C rosfield and T insley had added 99 b y free and attractive cricket, th e innings, w h ich had lasted five hours and a quarter, suddenly collapsed, the last four w ickets falling for an addition o f on ly 28 runs. W ith heavy arreais o f 234 against them , Sussex began au spiciously in their secon d innings, M arlow and W ilson pu tting on 42 fo r th e first w icket. A fter the am ateur’s departure, how ever, M arlow alone played M old w ith any confidence, and w ith a w icket to help h im the fa st b ow ler proved too m uch fo r the Sussex batsm en. So effective, indeed, did he pr ve, that, though the score was 60 w ith ou t one batsm an out, the side w ere all out for 121. L an cash ire’s v ictory by an in nings and 113 runs w as at the finish the w ork o f M old. H is analysis in the secon d innings w as quite an exceptional one, as he on ly delivered 112 balls, and took eight o f the ten w ickets at an average cost o f ju st over six runs. S u s se x .

M ID D L E S E X A fter having con sid erably the best o f this gam e in its early stages at N ottingham on T hursday and F riday, the N otts eleven w ere seen to such disadvantage at all poin ts that M iddlesex, in the end, w ere able to claim a decisive and highly creditable victory b y 160 runs. S h a ck lock w as left ou t o f the N otts eleven to m ake w ay for S. H ardy, and 011 the oth er side an am ateur, H. B . H aym an, o f the H am pstead Club, m ade his first appearance fo r M iddlesex. L osin g the toss N otts had to take the field first, and th eir outing extended over three hours and a quarter. T he best feature o f their ou t-cricket w as the bow ling of Mee, to w hom th e com paratively ch ea p dis­ m issal o f M iddlesex fo r a total o f 184 w as due. O nly tw o batsm en g ot over 21 runs—W e b b e and M cG regor. T he ca pta in w as batting an h ou r and a h a lf fo r his 50, w h ich w as absolutely free from a m istake. M cG regor’s innings, w h ich on y lasted a few m inutes over th e hour, w as n ot q u ite o f the sam e order of m erit. A ll the sam e he gave no chance, and his h ittin g all-round w as very hard and w ell tim ed. M ee, it w ill be seen, took seven of th e ten w ickets at a cost o f on ly 51 runs. D ixon, w ho opened th e N ottsba ttin g w ith Shrew s­ bury, received little h elp from that great batsm an, or from G unn, B arnes, and F low ers. He w as h im self m issed in the slips w hen he h a d got 1*2, b u t a fter this he gave no chance, and o f the 108 m ade at the end o f the day fo r the loss o f four b atsm en his share w as 66 n ot out. On F riday m orn in g the captain fou n d a very useful partner in A ttew ell. T he la tter p ayed w ith great care and judgm ent, and as a result o f the partnership the score w as in creased by n o less than 110 runs. D ixon, w ho w as the first to go, w as seventh out, having contributed 133 o f 223 runs. F o r just under fou r hours h e had faced the M iddlesex bow ling, and except th e chance already m en­ tioned, and another w hen he had got 80 there
