Cricket 1894

AUG. 16, 1894 PICKET : A WEEKLY EECORI? OF 'JHE GAME. 827 S U S S E X v. L A N C A S H IR E . A fter a gam e o f varying phases, th e L ancashire eleven succeeded in beating Sussex at B righton on T uesday w ith six w ickets to spare. T he ground at B righton at the com m en cem en t of the gam e on M onday m orning still show ed traces of the recent rainfall, and Mr. M cLaren, thinking th a t the pitch w ould im p rove later in the day, decided to put Sussex in. B is decision, too, seem ed to be quite justified, as M old’s bow ling w as irresistible, and w hen th e seventh batsm an w as out at £9 he had b ow led forty-three balls fo r five w ickets and |\ n o runs. Som e plu ck y h ittin g b y Parris, w ho m ade 28 ou t o f 32 for the ninth w icket, ch ecked his success a little, but M old ultim ately had his revenge, and, after he had b ow led Parris, B ilton w as cau gh t from Briggs, bringing the innings, w h ich had lasted an hour and thirty-five m inutes, to a close fo r 75. .Lancashire, w h o w ent in after lu n ch eon , w ere batting fo r tw o hours and forty m inutes. In spite o f the w atchful play of A lbert W ard, the start w as n on e too favourable, and w ith h a lf the side ou t fo r 51, L an cash ire had n ot really m u ch th e best of th e gam e. A s it was,M r. T indall helped W a rd to pu t on 43 in less than half an hour, and their stand ch an ged the aspect o f the gam e m aterially. W ard w as ultim ately w ell caught at sh ort slip fo r an extrem ely useful 42, end w ith M old’s dism issal th e innings closed for 141. B y the tim e S ussex w ent in a second tim e the w icket h a d im proved considerably, and so w ell did B ean and M arlow utilise their opportunities, that in the last fifty five m inu tes n ot only w as the deficit o f 66 w iped off, but seventeen m ore p u t on w ith ou t th e loss o f a w icket. B oth b at-m en pla yed free and attractive cricket, w ith only on e possible blem ish, a difficult chance at th e w icket b y M arlow. R ain during th e night had affected th e w icket to som e extent w hen pla y w as resum ed on T uesday m orning, and M old, as on the previous day, b ow led w ith such effect that in tw o hours the w hole side had been dism issed fo r an a ddition o f 77 runs. B ean played on w hen on ly five runs had been added, and M arlow w as bow led also by M old w ith the total 103. M r. N ew ham and G uttridge alone o f th e rem aining batsm en got dou ble figures, and th e innings, w h ich had opened so w ell, on ly realised a total o f 160. M old’s eight w ickets cost 67, and altogether in the m atch he took fifteen w ick tt >at a cost o f less than eix runs apiece. L e ft w ith 95 to w in, L an cash ire’s chances w ere very h opeful, as the w icket had been steadily im provin g. Still, a rather unprom ising start was m ade, and * ith Sugg, Mr. M cL aren , and W ard out fo r 38, thin gs w ere beginnin g to look a little doubtful. A useful stand by Briggs and Paul, w hich produ ced 4L runs in h a lf an hour, how ever, virtually settled the result, and P aul w as in w hen the w inning run w as m ade. H is 47 n ot ou t w as an excellent display o f batting w ith ou t a chance. S u s s e x . F irst Innings. Second Innings.

T h e C heltenham w eek began in a very inauspi­ ciou s m anner fo r G loucestershire on M onday. T h ? w icket had been thoroughly soaked b y the heavy rains, and under the influence o f the sun the pitch favoured the bow lers to such an extent th a t W. G. certainly did n ot gain anything by w inning the toss A s it was, the G loucestershire batsm en failed so com pletely b efore R ich ard son ’s bow ling, that w hen the ninth w icket fell th e score w as only 36. Som e p ’ucky play by M r.Tow nsend and R ob erts im proved m atters a little, bu t after h e’ping to add sixteen, the am ateur w as run out, and th u s the innings, w hich had lasted a little over an h ou r and a h alf, w as over for 52. R ichardson dism issed six o f the eight batsm en w h o fell to the bow lers, and at a cost o f only 27 runs. Surrey, w ho began batting a fter lu ncheon, did n ot m ake a very prom ising start, losing b oth A bel and L o ck w o o d io r only 20 runs. Vv ith a lo t o f lu ck Ha,yward helped B rockw ell to add 69 in fifty-five m inutes, o f w h ich his ow n share w as 43 m arred b y three lives all off M r. T ow n send’s bow ling. B rockw ell continued to play w ith great ju dgm en t, b u t again fo r a tim e things w ent b a oly fo r Surrey, Mr. R ead, Ayres, and Mr. K ey being all dism issed fo r an addition o f only 23. In Street, how ever, B rock ­ w ell fou n d a reliable partner, and a useful addition o f 40 runs to the score w as the result b efore Street w as caught. Sm ith played very carefully, and 27 were added before Mr, Jessop at la st g ot one past Brockw ell. C onsideting the conditions o f the ground, h is 72 w as a fine per­ form ance. H e w as batting ju st under tw o hours and a half, and no actual chance cou ld te u rg e d to his discredit. R ichardson and W o o d added 22 for the last w icket, and w hen the form er w as cau gh t at m id-on Surrey w ere ou t fo r 201. S tum ps w ere draw n on the com p letion o f th eir innings, so th a t G lou­ cestersh ire w ent in on T uesday m orn in g in a deficit o f 149 runs. T h e w icket w as still difficult, b u t this tim e a m u ch better start w as m ade. A u seful stand b y W .G . and P ainter raised th e score from 29 to 61 for the th ird w icket, and then there seem ed an outside ch a n ce o f a fair show b y the h om e team . A fter P ainter had te e n dism issed, how ever, at 63, R ich a rd son resum ed w ith such success that in foity-six balls he took five w ickets at a cost o f only ten runs. O f the later batsm en B oard, indeed, alone g ot dou ble figures, and w hen h e w as ou t ju st b efore tw o o ’clock the m atch w as over, leaving Surrey w ith a decisive v ictory by an in nings and 49 runs, ow m u ch o f the credit o f th eir success rested w ith R ich ard son his figures w ill show . In th e m atch he took thirteen w ickets at a cost o f a little over over fou r and a h a lf runs apiece. T o B rockw ell and him , indeed, Surrey’s v ictory w as m ainly due.
