Cricket 1894

218 OfttOKETi A WEEKLY BECORD OF THE GAME, JUNE 21, 1894 NOTTS v. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. B a r n e s ’ B e n e f it . Some high scoring, not often recorded this season, marked this match, begun on the Trent Bridge (•»round on Monday. The fixture was arranged by the Notts Committee in recognition of the excellent service rendered to the county by William Barnes during the last eighteen years. Fortunately, too, the weather, which had seriously interfered with two other important matches in progress on Monday, held up at Nottingham, except for one heavy shower, so that the cricket was played as well as watched under fairly favourable auspices. Though the Gentlemen were not so well represented as they could have been, they were still a good side, and one, as the result proved, quite equal to the occasion. The wicket, which had been protected against the rain, was in excellent condition, and the Gentlemen made full use of the opportunity of first knock. Mr. Hewett wa^ out at 36, but Messrs. Stoddart and Palairet soon got the measure of the Notts bowling, with the result that runs came at a great rate. In a little over an hour they put on 95 before luncheon, a id altogether ‘208 were added before Mr. Palairet was caught.He might have been caughtwhenhe had only made 7, but this was the only real chance to detract from a generally sound and taking display of cricket. Daft was also successful in getting rid of Mr. Stoddart. That batsman was ia quite his best form. He scored all round with the same certaitlty and freedom and no higher praise can be awarded than that his innings, which had lasted three hours and a quarter, was without a blemish of any kind. After the separation of the two amateurs the only noticeable feature in the batting was the free hitting of Mr. Woods. Otherwise Attewell and Daft found very little opposition, and the-.-last eight wickets all fell in an hour and fifty "minutes for an addition of 98 runs. Notts, who hid lost one batsman (Mr. Dixon) on Monday, resumed batting on Tuesday on a wicket which had been covered duringthe night,and with gratify­ ing tesults. The batting throughout showed a uni­ formly good level. Daft and Gunn put on 65 in the same number of minutes for the third wicket, and Flowers, curiously enough, increased the score by exactly a similar amount. The best stan 1 though, after all, was by the two amateurs, Messrs. Wright and Robinson. Both batsmen played with confidence and judgment, and 97 were added before the latter was caught for an excellent score of 35. Mr. Wright was the last out, just having fallen short of his hundred by seven runs. He was only batting two hours and twenty minutes, a proof of the freedom of his play throughout. Yesterday the Gentlemen, with only a difference of one run on the first hands, began their second innihgs soon after noon. This time Mr. Jackson went in *ith Mr. Stoddart, and the former had only made 10 out of 44 when he was caught. After scoring 42 out of 55 Mr. Stoddart was caught at the wicket, and though Mr. Hewett hit freely, at the luncheon in­ terval the score was 100 for the loss of six wickets. Messrs Woods and Hornby made the game much more live'y, and 72 were added in fifty-five minutes for the seventh wicket. AsMr. Kemble was unable to bat, the innings closed on the fall of the ninth wicket for 208. When Notts went in for the fourth innings with 210 to win, an excellent start was made by Messrs Dixon and bowitt, and when stumps were drawn 52 had been scored with both batsmen still in. The g*me was conse­ quently drawn. G e n t l e m e n o f E n g l a n d . . First Inning*. Second Innings. Mr. A. E.

WARWICKSHIRE vTYORKSdIRE. The Warwickshire eleven have been showing such consistently good all-round cricket this season, th^t particular interest attaches to their meetings with the older counties. It was, therefore, unfortunate that Yorkshire were no I able to put their full strength into the field for the match negun at Birmingham last Monday. Lord Hawke could not captain the side, and Messrs. Jackson, Sellers and Mitchell were all away. Rain reduced the c ic*et on Monday to less than two hours and a half. The ground and rall were both slippery, and * arwickshire making the best use of their opportunities scored 122 for the loss of four wickets. The main credit of this performance was due to the captain, Mr. H. W. Bainbridge, whose 52 was a most commendable display of free and attractive cricket. At one time while he was in with Mr. Docker, forty runs were scored in twenty minutes. On Tuesday morning Mr. Docker,as well as Lilley, Santa 1,and Pallet*,were soon dismissed. Some resolute cricket by Devey, however, improved matters considerably. He made fifty runs in fifty-five minutes without a chance. When Yorkshire went in Mounsty and Tunnicliffe scored freely, making 55 before lun­ cheon in about the same number of minutes, Tunnicliffe was first out at 78, to be followed by Mounsey at 102, both batsmen being well caught Another determined stand was made by Wain­ wright and Moorhouse,and helped byfaulty fielding the two professionals put on 108 before Moorhouse was finely caught in the country. With 220 up, and only three batsmen out, Yorkshire seemed likely to gain a great advantage. Subsequently, however, Shilton and Whitehead bowled with marked success, so much so that the last six wickets fell for an addition of only 67 runs. Peel, who was lame, only came in to bat as Wainwright was still two runs short of three figures when the ninth wicket fell. A good catch in the long field brought the innings to a close with the dismissal of Wainwright. That batsman was at the wickets two hours and a half, and in spite of two chances—one when he had got 26, the other just before he w*s out—it was on the whole a free display of high merit. Yesterday, War wickshire began th ir second innings in a minority of 83 runs, and at the luncheon interval were twenty-nine on, with six wickets in reserve. The Warwickshire captain, who had again played fine cricket, had made 51 of the first 95. There hid been slight rain before the retirement, and whilst the p ayers were away it came down heavily. On the resumption, runs were added freely, and, with one interruption, the game went on, with some vigorous cricket byr Mr. Docker and Lilley, whose partnership realised 127, as the most striking feature. With the conclusion of Warwickshire’s innings the match came to a end. The perform­ ance was a very creditable one, and only furnishes another instance of their all-round strength this year.

ESSEX. The Surrey eleven secured their tenth succes­ sive victory at the Oval yesterday, when they de­ feated Essex by an innings and 261 runs. With the object of getting a rest in view of'their eng ce ­ ments with Middlesex and Yorkshire, Mr. Key, M-. Read, and Lockwood stood ou of the Surrey eleven, so that p’aces were found f r, *yres, Street, and Henderson Monday’s crick< t wai confined to the completion of an innings by Es >ex. The wicket, though slow, was not difficult, and this made Richardson’s bowiing rhe more remark­ able. Mr. Burrell was the only batsman who played him with any confidence, and his 31 was a capital performance for a first appearance in county cricket. Richardson took all ten wickets, a feat which has never before been perfo msd by a Surrey bowler in County matches. Seven of the ten batsmen were c eanbo.\led, oDe (Rus­ sell) played on, aud the other two were causht. The rain, which had caused two interruptions while Essex were batting, came down heavily, and no further play was practicable for the day. Not-> withstanding the continuous downp mr of Mon­ day afternoon the ground was in very fair order on Tuesday, and Surrey made the most of their opportunities. The innings, which was not over until ten minutes past six o’clock, had lasted just six hours, so that runs were got at the rate c f 73 an hour throughout. All the earlier batsmen were seen to advanta-ge, and four got over fifty runs. Abel and .Maurice Read scored 92 before they were separated, but the best stand was Wy Brockwell and Mr. Jephson, who put on 120 for, the fourth wicket, in an hour and.thirty-five minutes. Brockwell has never been seen to better advantage. During the two hours and twenty minutes he hardly made a bad h’t, and certainty gave no chance. Mr. Jephson was unfortunate in not being able to reach--his hundred. He was missed at short slip just before the innings closed.. This, thouqh, was the only flaw in a most credit­ able display, by far. the, best thing be has ever done in first-class cricket. Essex, who. had 366 to avert an innings defeat, had ihirty-fiv^ minutes left for .1atting.on. Juesday, and after^ their long outing fared badly, losing three wickets for 25. Yesterday the match was soon oyer. CaiS pent r played good cricket, and later ox* Messrs. McGahey and Kortright put on 52, or jfcst one half of the total, ior the eighth wicket Otherwise the bitting presented no feature of interest and as Mr. Hailey was ill the match was over on the fall of the ninth wicket.
