Cricket 1894

AUG. 30, 1894 SB ICMD s A -WEEKLY EECORD OF THE eAME* SUSSEX v. SURREY. Though Surrey’s last im portant match o i the season was spoiled by the rain, as were all the fixtures arranged for the latter end of last week, the County Cricket Ground at Brighton was so far favoured that Surrey were able to win in the end, with plenty of tim e to spare. Thursday was a dies non, as far as cricket was concerned, for heavy rain prevented the delivery of a ball. On Friday the weather was a com plete contrast, and under the influence of bright sunshine the specta­ tors num tered in great force, considerably above the average for the Sussex County Ground. As the wicket was, it was of course an advantage for Surrey to win the toss. Still, the early batting was not indicative of a large score, and with half the sid9 out for only52 runs, it hardlylooked as if Surrey were going to get m uch the best of it Up to this time Hayward alone had offered any ereat resist­ ance to the Sussex bowling and it wa? not till Mr. Key joined Mr. Read,on the fall of the sixth wicket, that any great stand was made. From the first Mr. Read had played excellent cricket, aod his batting did very much to turn the course of the game in favour of Surrey. Mr. Key and W ood were both seen to advan age, and it spoke highly for the tail that the last four wickets were a kle to increase the score by 87 runs. Mr. Read’s 55 was a particularly creditable display u-^der the cir­ cumstances. Mastering the difficulties of the ground, he played with great confidence as well as judgm ent, and his innings was worthy of the highest praise. As the wicket was, Surrey’s total of 168 was regarded as a very useful one, and it was generally thought that it would be beyond the reach of Sussex. At first, Bean and Marlow played fairly well, and 17 was up before a wicket fell. D irectly Lockw ood began to get his length, however, the end soon came. The test stand subsequently, indeed, was by the last two batsm e?, Parris and Humphreys, and in les* ihan an hour and a half the whole side were out for a small total of 44. Following on in a minority of 1*24, Sussex fared very badly, losing Bean and Messrs. Murdoch and Newham for only iO. Marlow, however, found a useful partner in Mr. Fry, and when play ceased both batsm en were in witti the total at 49 for three wickets. Heavy rain overnight prevented a resum ption till twenty minutes to one o’c’ock on Saturday, ;-nd then the not outs by steady cricket added 18 before Mr Fry was bowled for an extremely valuable score of ii. Two runs later Marlow, who had played capital cricket, was bowled, and half the side were out for 69. Mr. Brann hit freely for a time, but otherwise the later batting presented no noteworthy feature, and as the tenth wicket fell at 109, Surrey were left with an easy victory by an innings and fifteen runs. The bowling of Lockw ood and Richardson had a great deal to do with their success. Richard­ son’s ten wickets cost 73, Lockw ood’s niae 68 runs S u r r e y .

Though there was only a differeice o f three runs on the firat innings, in this m atch begua at Old Trafford on 0 hursday, Lancashire were able in the end to secure an easy, and withal very creditable victory. Only an nour’s cricket was possible on Thursday, and in that time Notts put on 46 runs for the lois of Mr. W iight’s wicket. Friday 's cricKet con sis*ed of the com pletion of an innings by each side, with an advantage o f three runs to Lancashire. So far the best scores had been 33 by Sugg for Lancashire, and 34 by Oscroft, a nephew of the late W illiam Scotton, who was making his first app ejraice for Notts. The most noteworthy bowling was that of Lancaster, of Enfield, a left-hand s ow towler, who took the place of Briggs—not yet recovered from the strain he experienced at Lord s last week Lancaster did a tine performance, taking seven Notts wick\ts for 54 runs. Going in a second tim e on Saturday morning, Notts were at the wickets three h urs and a quarter for a total of 133. Gunn and Flowers each made 27, and Daft, who carried his tat out a second time, was battiug an hour for 21. Lancaster broke down early in the innings, but fortunately Mold was in his very best form , and his analysis of seven wickets for 53 runs, was a tine perform ance W hen the fourth innings was began two hours and a quarter were left for play, .and as Lancashire wanted 132 to win, under ordinary circum stances, there would have been plenty of time to make the runs. As the wicket was, the task was by no means easy, and wh n Albert Ward was bowled by Flowers for the second tim e in the match w ithout a run, the chances of Notts were improved. W ith Paul, too, out at 15, the position of matters began to look a little doubtfnl for Lancashire. After a time, however, Sugg and Mr. Maclaren began to score very fast, and though toth gave a difficult chance the cricket was o f a very attractive character. A 11the bowling of Notts was power­ less to part them, aud as the last fifty minutes realised 101 runs. Lancashire through the brilliant perform ance of the two not o u t» gained an exc p- tionall/ fine victory by eight wickets, wi h. after all, plenty of tim e to spare. Too m ch praise can hardly be given to Sug^ and Mr. Mac'aren for what under the circum stances may fairly be described as a rema*kable display of battiog. N o tts . "First Innings. Mr. C. W .

W ARW ICK SH IR E A little over three hours and a half on Friday form ed the substance o f the cricket in the return mat h between thes 3counties, fixed for the second half o last week. An incessant downpour had prevented the delivery of a ball on Thursday.and on the following morning ihere was another rainfall, which rendered a start impossible till after luncheon. Even then the ground was so soft as to be hardly fit for play, and Warwickshire, who had won the toss, found rungttti g at first difficult. Mr. Bainbridge, w ho opened the batting with W alter Quaife was in forty minutes for four, and though his partner stayed ti 1the total had reached 68, his 58, which had occupied him an hour and three-quarte s, was attendcl with some luck. Diver, unlike his two predecessors, t atted with consider­ able freedom, and when stum ps were drawn on Friday night he was not out, with 58 o flO ifo r three wickets to his credit He vvy rain on Friday night and early on Saturday morning had so saturated the ground, that it v»as found impossible to go o i w ith the game, and at noon on Saturday any idea o f further play was abandoned.
