Cricket 1895

M a y 23, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 155 LEICESTERSHIRE v. N O T T S . Their memorable victory over Surrey at the Uval ensured additional interest in the Mid- lunder s first home engagement at Leicester on Monday. Notts’ marvellous performances against Sussex further added to the attractions ot the game. Notts were about full strength, T nf ^ome team were without Messrs. de iraftord, Stone, and Stocks, but included , eson, the Lincolnshire professional, who played under a birth qualification. Despite a bad start, two^ wickets falling for 13, the Leicestershire innings extended over three fort>rn^rlutes, andrealized 205 runs, of winch the chief credit is due to Pougher and . eson, recruit giving no chance in his innings of 49 not out, which was made in an hour and forty minutes. Notts did very badly against Woodcock and Pougher, only lowers and Wilkinson making any show ; the innings lasting only an hour-and-a-half, and the visitors left oft 114 behind. But Leicester did no better in their second attempt than the Notts men, no one on the side, except I ougher, reaching double figures, and e innings realizing exactly the same total as JNotts—91. Pougher’s not out 51, was under the circumstances, a most creditable as well as a valuable display. It included five 4’s, , > occupied 130 minutes of rather slow P ay> but was made at a time when things were going very badly with his side. Want­ ing 206 to win, Notts found the task too great, despite some plucky batting by Gunn 1(n( * t> who put on 46 while together. ougher and Woodcock had most to do with the victory of their side, Notts being 79 be- m at the finish. It was a great perfor­ mance for the Midland county to dispose of otts twice for 217 runs, and Woodcock’s ten roi- 88, and Pougher’s nine for 73, will rank among their worthiest efforts, though the wicket had been much damaged bv rain and analysis ^ *ime played well‘ Score and L eicestershire . -\r Krst Innings.

Though the club had but a poor batting teamon Monday for this match at Lord’s, the bowling strength left little to be desired, and indeed on a wicket that did not seem to play well there were but few batting successes. In contrast to the heavy scoring which has been so general this season, forty wickets fell for 534 runs, the county after being 46 behind on the first innings winning by 42 runs. The incidents of Derbyshire’s first innings were a nasty accident to Board, who was struck in the mouth by a kicking ball from Whitehead, which glanced off Storer’s bat, a partnership for 36 between Davidson and Chatterton the only stand of the innings, and a remarkable bowling exploit by Martin who took six wickets, five of them bowled, for 22 runs, the last four falling to consecutive balls. During the luncheon interval it was ar­ ranged that Davenport should replace Board and the Cheshire professional kept wicket for M.C.C. for the remainder of the match. The club fared better in batting than their opponents, for after three wickets had fallen for 25, Alec. Hearne and Mr. N, Leese made a splendid stand. The amateur made most of the runs, his driving being particularly good, 81 runs were put on before Hearne was out, but their wickets fell fast, after Leese had left for59made in an hour. Derbyshireopenedthen- secondinningsbadly, twowickets falling for 16, but Chatterton and L. G. Wright improved matters by scoring 50 for the next partnership by good if slow wicket. Davidson followed and again played the bowling with confidence, 43 runs being added before the amateur was out, for 47 made in two hours. Storer and Davidson added 35 in half an hour chiefly by the free hitting of the former. Davidson was seventh out at 178, his 61 being compiled in 95 minutes and including eight 4’s, two 3’s and four 2’s. The last three wickets fell rapidly, and M.C.C. were left with 140 to win. This they never looked like doing; thanks chiefly to Porter, whose eight wickets in the match cost him only 49 runs, and who lfowled very finely. It will be noticed that Chatterton made six catches during the game. Score and analysis:— D erbyshire . First Innings. Mr. L. G. W right, b Martin 16 Mr. H.
