Cricket 1894

140 ORICKETs A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME, MAT 24, 1894 responsibilities, can show 5 for 46, and 5 for 16 as his share of his county’s week’s work. Somebody had told me to keep an eye on young Killick of Sussex; his 6 for 28 was as neat a piece of work as Gut ridge’s 7 for 35 in the same match. Leicestershire had as satisfactory a week as Surrey, beating both Essex and Yorkshire Pougber’s double in tbe former match deserves a line all to itself; scori g a second innings of 109 (not out), and securing 14 wickets at a co3t of just over 6 lunseacb. Against Yorkshire he and G. W. flillyard divided the 20 wickets equally between them. But their captain had his share in the seco d victor/, as out of a total of 131, his was tbe only double figure— 92 —and “ extras’’ ac­ counted for 10 runs. Yorkshire batsmen have yet to wake up, or at least they should not reserve their great efforts for non county matches, especially when their county is playing on Ihe s^me days, though only in a match which will not affect their status. A captain should set a praiseworthy ex­ ample. It’s a'l very well to notch 157 at Cambridge, bat one would have been satisfied with the odd 57 at Leicester. Cam­ bridge bas its fascinations for old “ blues,” but if they had only waited three days longer, their chance would come. One never misses W . G. from the Gloucestershiie ranks. ‘ ‘ But it’ s an ill w ind;” Leicestershire may be disposed to say. P. S.—If Mr. Coxhead will read the Surrey statistics carefully, he will find tbat under “ Clo?e Finishes,” Surrey figure as beating Notts by one run both in 1864 and 1865. But not in the match he refers to. His memory has got befogged somehow. When Stephenson and Lockj er scored rfspectively 119 and 108 (not out) at the Oval in 1864, Surrey won by 10 wickets, and they went in first. The totals he asks for, were: Surrey 468, and 4 for no wicket; Notts 283 and 188. It was the return match at Trent Bridge which they won by one wicket. In 1865, the Oval match gave Surrey a similar victory, when Stephenson (75) and Sewell (15) were both not out. A decision in Sewell’ s favor so nettled the men of Notts that this match was not played again until 1868. C H IS W IC K P A R K v. H A M P STE A D .—P layed at C hisw ick P ark on M ay 16.

G R E C IA N S —P iayed at B u rbage R oad, D u lw ich , on May 14. G r e cia n s . their luck. They won the toss in both their Whit-week matches, and yet lost both. .Kent’s \ictoryover them was a splendid piece of work, when 225 runs were wanted in the last innings, and they must have been haunted by their 7 wickets’ defeat at Birmingham. But their captain had worked himself into his rare, old form, a useful 30 against Warwickshire preparing the way for a veritable triumph (75 not out) at Old Trafford. One is glad that Walter Heatne’s long rest has*done him no harm, for during the week he accounted for 15 wickets, at a cost of 12 runs each. As Lanca1hire have so often started badly, there is nothing to alarm us in their double failure last week. At th^ same time a fresh bowler would be very welcome. It’s a case of Briggs and Mold, varied by Mold and Briggs, almost in every match. Baker’s three successive not outs— 17, 20, and 60— may suggest the desirability of altering his number in the order-of going-in card. Albert Ward (34 and 86) in the K*nt match atoned for his shortcomings against Yorkshire. Surrey are going as strong as tver, acd by three one-innings victories have lost no time in setting their house in order after tbe routing at the hands of Warwickshire. Notts and Gloucestershire are their latest victims. When W .G.’s splendid 88, and a fair slice of luck, not to mention Roberts’ bowling (7 for 22),sent Glouceste: shire romping home ab Brigh’on in the earlier part of the week, it looked as if they had an outside chance against Surrey. But it was not to be. Their double venture fell just 200 short of Surrey’s first, whilst Brockwell (107) alone scored more than Gloucestershire in either inning?. So far the Surrey man has not once failed with the bat, and tbis was his first county century. Brockwell, like Abel, is a standing proof of the wisdom of patience in an executive. It is as long ago as 1886 that the younger man got bis first trial. A bit of a passenger then, and for some years after. But now he has played himself into quite the front rank K. J. Key has done almost as well in the four matches played; whilst Hayward, Abel, and the two Reads have quickly got set. And what of Richardson ? 39 wickets for 359 runs, and 31 of the 39 clean bowled. One likes this last item, having seen enough of the popular off-bowling method. Say what you will, there is a satisfaction in hitting the sticks, of a far higher order than a catch off your bowling can yield. “ Alone I did it.” Bowling of this class revives memories of Jackson and Tarrant, J. C. Shaw and Wootton, Freeman and Emme't. I hope devoutly that the announcement of the Surrey Captain’s rtsignation is pre­ mature. He cannot be spart d yet, though when a man has played regularly for 17 seasons, and has entered his fortieth year, a well earned rest has its attractions. And business claims must be respected. I know of no other eport where such loyal elevation exists. John Shuter’s name will be in­ separably connected with Surrey’s greatest years. A brilliant batsman and fielder, a splendid general, and a thorough sportsman as any County ever boasted. Such men rarely have a successor in anything but name. W. W. is too old to replace him. Could K. J. Key? A captain, like a bowler, is born however. But for that disastrous return of the ball when the lafct Somerset man had come in, Sussex would have paired with Middlesex last w eek.‘ ‘I f!” T h e‘‘what might have been” at cricket would make an instructive treatise. In bolh matches, bowling did more than batting; for 43 was the highest individual innings both at Lord’s and at Brighton. Bawlin (10 for 53), J. T. Hearne (9 for 104^, were the handy men for Middlesex; whilst S. . J. Woods, making light of his new C h is w ic k P a r k . A. W . W atson , b F.
