Cricket 1895

M ay 2, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 111 suffering with affections of the eyes, no new complaint to the plucky little wicket­ keeper; and neither could play in the first few matches. Yet the season began fairly well. In spite of a most unexpected 124 from Lilley, the wicket-keeper, Warwickshire was beaten by seven wickets. Tom Hay­ ward, nephew of the famous batsman whose name he bears, played an innings of 100 in his second match for Surrey, v. Leicestershire, and helped his side to win by ten wickets. Essex was beaten in an innings, and Derbyshire (against whom Richardson took 12 wickets for 96) by ten wickets; and the great Whit Monday match with Notts was won by seven wickets, mainly owing to Richardson’s bowling, which, however, was stigmatised as unfair by some of the losers. Then came the first check, Middlesex, stronger than for years past, winning by seven wickets, mainly owing to the stand of 154 made by Messrs. Stanley Scott and Webbe. The Australians were beaten by 58 runs, and Gloucestershire by that oft- recurring margin of seven wickets, Brockwell and Richardson actually putting on 105 runs for Surrey’s last wicket in the first innings. W. G. carried his bat through the first innings of his side for 61. Cambridge University suffered defeat on its own ground by 102 runs, in spite of the captain’s 123, W. W. scoring 169 in his two innings, and Lockwood bowling in irresistible style at the end. At Manchester W. W. was again in great form, scoring 147 not out, and his side won—again by seven wickets. So far Surrey seemed going as strongly and well as ever. But now she fell upon evil times, and right up to the end of the season was no longer the Surrey of old. Yorkshire beat her on a terribly fiery wicket at Sheffield, the oft-tried Moor- house showing of what real sterling stuff he is made, and Worrall (nine for 19) meeting with wonderful success with the ball. Then Middlesex, after having to follow on, won by 79 runs, Messrs. Stoddart (125) and O’Brien (113) putting on 228 for the first wicket in the second innings. The next two matches were won in good style, especially considering that Richardson was absent, Yorkshire being beaten by ten wickets (Mr. Key scoring 100), and Sussex at Brighton by seven (Maurice Read 143 for once out).
