Cricket 1893

54 CRICKET j A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME, APRIL 23, 1693 been scored against Lancashire in all first-class matches. No Lancashire batsman has ever played an innings of 200 runs; though W . W. Bead (247 in 1888) and A. E . Stoddart (215* in 1891) have done so against Lancashire. Never has a Lancashire batsman scored a century against Notts bowling. No batsman has played more than two cen­ turies against Lancashire. Lancashire captains past and present: E . B. Rowley, A. N. Hornby, S. M. Cros- field. Benefit matches have been played for F. Reynolds, 1870; C. Coward, 1878; W . McIntyre, 1881; A . Watson, 1885 ; R. G. Barlow, 1886 ; R. Pilling, 1889. Lancashire wicket-keepers—Holgate, Ei J. Bonsfield, E. Jackson, Pilling, A. T. Kemble. In all the Lancashire matches— first and second class— in which poor Pilling played between 1877 and 1889, he caught out 311 men, stumped 160. No county has helped itself so liberally to the cricketers of other counties, and yet in no county have the players been more loyal and enthusiastic. The list of im ­ ported men is too long to be given. Mr. H ornby’s influence cannot here be overstated. Lancashire cricket owes everything to him ; he has been the most popular county captain of his day, and most deservedly so. It was because most of us had such faith in his judgment, and still greater confidence inKis genuine love of sport, that we never could join in the hue and cry raised against the delivery of certain Lancashire bowlers. H e has been playing for his county since 1867. B e­ sides him the following have played for 20 years: — A. Appleby, 1866 to 1887 ; Watson, 1871 to 1892; Barlow, 1871 to 1891. For many years yet may the followers of the “ Red Rose ” rejoice in the leadership of their veteran chieftain. LORD H AW KE ’S TEAM IN IND IA . HAMPSTEAD NONDESCBIPTS. M ay 6—Ealing, v.

The match which was begun on Tuesday, Feb. 28th, was against eleven of the District, among whom was one of well-knonw Eton Family of Gosling. Losing the toss, the Englishmen had to take the field first. They were not, however, out long, as Hornsby and Hill bowled with such success that the innings was soon over for a small score of 68. The bowling of the local team, too, was no better than their batting. At the outset-, A. J. L. Hill scored freely, and with useful assistance from Maclean V er­ non, and C. W. Wright, by the end of the first day 258 runs had been made for the loss of only three batsmen. Resuming on the following morning, Hill, who was not out 76 overnight, continued to score till he was given out lbw with 85 to his credit. By luncheon time the total had been increased to 441 for eight wickets, and 42 more were added before the innings closed. Going in a second time with no less than 415 runs to avert an innings defeat, the locals were seen to better advantage. Gosling showed neat cricket for his twenty-four, and by the end of the day the score showed 81 runs, with only two batsmen out. On the following day (March 2nd) the game showed a decided change. None of the remaining batsmen, indeed, could do anything with the bowling of Hornsby and Hill, and as only thirty runs were added, the innings only reached 112. This left the English team with a decisive majority of an innings and 303 runs. Hornsby and Hill each took four wickets. The latter, though, had much the better figures, his analysis only showing ten runs against twenty- eight to Hornsby. P eshawur . First Innings.
