Cricket 1894

AUG. 2, 1894 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME, S U R R E Y v. S O M E R S E T S H IR E . T hough th e Surrey eleven w ere av le to get a lead o f 52 runs on the first h ands in this m atch begun at the O val on T hursday, it w as the failure o f the early batsm en in S om ersetshire’s second innings w h ich turned the gam e in favou r o f the h om e team . T h e w icket, w hich w as in surprisingly good con d ition after the recen t rainfall, helped the bow lers a b it at the ou tset and in w inning the toss S om ers tsh 're certam ly did n ot gam any advantage. T h e early play did n ot give any in dication o f a large total, and notw ithstanding a u seful innings of 33 b y Capt. H edley, six w ickets were dow n fo r 72. W hen M r. uvana join ed Mr. W ood s, it hardly look ed as if the total w ould exceed 110 or lvO, and the subsequent crick et ca m e as an agreeable surprise to the spectators. Mr. E vans played w ith confidence as w ell as care, w hile his partner hit in splendid style, and in fifty m inutes 74 w ere added, o f w hich Me. E van s’ share w as 26, a m ost useful innings E igh t w ickets w ere dow n fo r 151, and then Mr. W oods and T yler added 48 in jut-t over a quarter o f an hour. Mr. W ood s had m eanw hile scored tw enty off one over o f L ock w ood , and three overs had real sed as m any as 44 runs. Mr. W ood s, w ho w as last out. had m ade 85 o f the last lc9 runs. H e had on y been in eighty m inutes in all. and there w as no real chance to m ar a m agnificent display o f hitting. L e ft w ith tw o hours and forty m inu tes’ fo r batting on T hursday afterooon , Surrey scored 1^8 fo r the loss o f three w icket* A bel w as ou t w ith ou t a run, and though L ock w ood and Hrockw'ell both did fairly w ell, the honours rested w ith H ayw ard, w h o _ w as n ot ou t 94 at the end o f the day w ith ou t anything like a chance. O n F riday m orning, after H enderson and M essrs R ead and K ey had been q u ickly dis­ m issed, H ayw ard fou n d a useful partner iu Street. T h e latter played freely, and ultim ately carried ou t his b a t fo r a very useful forty. H ayw ard, w ho played a b all hard on to his w icket, w as seventh ou t at £03. H e * a s ia tw o hours and fifty m inutes, and a m ore attractive exhibition of >atting n o on e cou ld w ish to see. H is 113, too, w as absolutely frt e from a m istake. A s they w erf only 53 to the bad on the first innings, S om ersetshire it w as still thought w ould give Surrey hard w ork to w in. In a very short tim e, though, the gam e under­ w ent a rem arkable change, and w ith five o f the best batsm en out fo r only 15 runs, though Mr. H ill quickly knocked up 21 ou t o f 33, at lu nch tim e on F riday S om ersetshire still w anted five runs to save the innings w ith only fou r w ickets in hand. T h ou gh it then seem ed as if the m atch w ould he over w ell w i hin the secon d day, M essrs. W ood s and E van s as in the first innings created a com ­ plete diversion. Hoth batsm en g ot nasty knocks, from no fa u lt o f the w icket, but w ithout any effect on their batting. Mr. E van s show ed even better c ickeo than fe fo re , and Mr. W ood s, though his hifctint? w as n ot po severe, played in adm rable style. In a little over an hour and a h alf lv7 runs were added, and by som e o f the very best crick et that can be im agined B oth batsm en w ere eventually caught b y the w icket keeper, and N ichols w as out subsequently in the sam e w ay A s Som e sctshire’s secon i total am ounted to 396, Surrey w ere left w ith 144 to w in, and thanks to the fine cricket of A bel and L ock w ood were g ot in the last h ou r and fifty m inutes on F riday at a co s t of A bel’s w icket. A bel w as ou t rather unluckily, the b a 'l going off M r. H ill at cover poin t to the hand o f M r. F ow ler at m id-off. On S iturday m orning Surrey had 52 to get to w in w ith nine w ickets in hand. A s no rain had fallen during 'lie night this w as an easy task, and L ock w ood and H ayw ard got the num ber req u i;ed in forty m inutes, w ith ou t a m istake. M r. L . P alairet, >t m ay be rem arked, w as bow led by a n o-ball o f L ock w ood ’s in S om ersetshire’s first innings. N ot lon g afterw ards H enderson cou ld have caught Mr. W ood s at extra m id-off from L ock w ood , only n o -ta 'l w as again called. S o m e r s e t . F irst Innings. M r.
