Cricket 1895

M ay 30, 189'). CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 165 3I.C.C. AND URO 0ND v. ESSEX. The M.C.C. put a very fair team into the field at Lord’s on May 23rd to oppose Essex, and the victory of the county, after a fine finish, by 2L runs was a creditable performance. The match was one of small scores, the first day’s play being twice interrupted by rain, which did not improve the wickets. Carpenter and Bums began well for Essex, and 50 was reached in half an hour, when Burns was bowled off his hand by Woodcock. The remaining batsmen hardly did more than double the score. Batting after a heavy shower M.C.C. did little better, the only stand beiner when Vernon Leese and Captain Quinton added 42 for the fourth wicket. Storer played excellent cricket in his not out 26, but no one could stay with him. Making a disastrous start on Friday, Essex lost three wickets, all to Pougher, for 19, and Higgins also had to retire awhile owing to a bad hit on the hand. M ‘Gahey was run out at 50, and Higgins, joining Hailey, runs were put on by good but slow cricket, the fifth wicket realising 41 runs in an hour. Free­ man was Hailey’s next partner, and the two offered a stout resistance, 58 in fifty minutes being scored for the sixth wicket. The remaining batsmen gave Hailey little help, and he was left not out 66. For this he batted just under three hours, and showed most watchful defence. Left with 160 to win, M.C.C. lost six wickets for 53, despite very careful play. On Davidson and Burnell becoming associated, however, a good stand was made, the 100 going up after two hours and a quarter’s play. Davidson was caught at slip at 131. for a capital innings of an hour and forty minutes’ duration, 78 having been put on for the seventh wicket. W ith 29 to win and three wickets to fall, the result looked very open. As it was Mead and Kortright finished the innings off for 8 more runs, and won a good game for their side on the stroke of seven. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First Innings.

Following on their high scoring against Essex and Warwickshire, the Surrey eleven went one better even than against Warwickshire in their match with Cambridge University at the Oval at the end of last week. Cambridge, who went in first, were at the wickets until six o’ clock on Thursday. The start certainly gave no indication of such a long innings, as Wilson, Mitchell, and Studd were out in the first three overs tor only six runs. N. F. Druce was the first to show to advantage, and, as Marriott kept up his wicket while Druce played in free and attractive style, by the interval the total had been raised to 72, Druce not out 50, Marriott not out 14. Play, which had been interrupted by rain for half an hour, was stopped just before two o’clock owing to an injury to Druce’s thumb, and, as it turned out, he was unable to take any further part in the game, a great loss to the side after the brilliant batting he had shown. Grace, who joined Marriott, soon saw the latter bowled, and when Grace himself was out at 118 for a useful 38, W . G. Druce, who for the last twenty minutes had not scored, was 4 not out. Another half-hour’s rainfall made the wicket easy, and Druce scored freely after a time till he was neatly stumped from a lob. Though he was very careful at first, when he got set he batted in excellent form, scoring his last 57 runs in 83 minutes. Burrough played well for his 35, and with his dismissal, in the absence of N. F. Druce, the innings closed. In the last quarter of an hour on Thursday Abel and Lockwood put on 11 for Surrey without the loss of a wicket. The latter was soon out on Friday morning, and, with Read caught, two dangerous batsmen were gone, with the score only 50. Then, as in the Essex match, Abel and Holland changed the whole aspect of the game. By the luncheon interval 150 had been added, with both batsmen still in, and, on resuming, the score rose equally fast, till 300 was followed in turn by 350. All the bowling having failed, W ilson, who had bowled right hand, went on with slow left. The change, too, worked at once, Holland returning a ball easily to him. W hile Holland was in 306 runs had been added in three hours and twenty minutes. Of these Holland had made 171 without a real mistake. He played all the bowlers with the same confidence, and his play all round was as sound as it was attractive. Thirty-two runs later Abel, who had been at the wickets four hours and forty minutes without a chance, was bowled. His 165, was in every way worthy of his reputation, though he had some luck in placing the ball more than once. A t the end of the day Hayward, with one life, and Street put on runs quickly, so that when play ceased the total was 500, with only seven bats­ men out. On Saturday morning the three outstand­ ing wickets added 43, so that the innings closed for 543. Hayward, who had with Street put on 91, was not out at the finish. He was in an hour and forty minutes for his 81, a bright display of free and stylish batting. Surrey’s innings had lasted six hours and three-quarters, so that the scoring through­ out averaged eighty an hour. Gray bowled well, but with bad luck, and the fielding maintained a high level to the finish. Robinson’s wicket-keeping, too, was decidedly good. W ith 289 to save the innings, and one man short, Cambridge’s chances of saving the game were not very hopeful. As before, too, they began badly, losing four good wickets for 28. W. G. Druce and Grace played up pluckily, but Lockwood and Richardson were both on the spot, and at luncheon time six batsmen were out for 98. On resuming, the last three wickets gave little trouble, and when Gray wasrun out the match was over, leaving Surrey the winners by an innings and 148 runs.
