Cricket 1895

188 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. ___________________ it _____ i------------------- .—: J u n e 6 , 1895. YORKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. A keen and exciting struggle is nearly always certain when these counties meet, and though bank holiday at Sheffield opened unpropitously as regards weather, 17,954 people paid gate and the total attend­ ance at Bramall Lane was little under ‘20,000. The wicket was rather affected by rain of the early morn­ ing, but fortunately the weather improved as the day went on. Lancashire were at full strength, but Mounsey stood out of the Yorkshire team through a col 1 and his place was taken by Denton. Though no one scored heavily for Lancashire, five members of the team made between twenty and thirty runs each, and Hallam and Smith for the last wicket put on 34, this being the longest partnership. Baker and Briggs played well for their runs. 166 was not a large score, but Yorkshire on going in to bat seemed likely to fall far below it, for Mold and Briggs bowled so well, that six wickets went down in 65 minutes for 43 runs the former’s deliveries getting up awkwardly. Wainwright and Denton then put quite a different aspect upon affairs, the former hitting in a splendid fashion, and punishing the bowling severely. The pair added 59 in 35 minutes an extraordinary contrast to the previous play. Wainwright’s share was 37, a brilliant innings. Yorkshire at the end of the day’s play were 55 behind with three wickets to fall. In the morning thirty- five minutes sufficed to complete the innings and 52 runs were added, thanks to Lord Hawke who hit out brilliantly and to Denton who stayed while the captain hit. In twenty minutes the latter made 30 out of 35, and his 34 was made up of six 4’s, two 3’s, a 2, and two singles. Denton was at the wickets 80 minutes and played skilful and judicious cricket. This is his seoond not out innings in succession. Lancashire made but a bad start in their second innings. M ’Laren ran himself out out at 7, but W ard and Paul defied all efforts to separate them for two hours and twenty minutes during which time they added 144 runs. Ward’s was not one of his best innings and neither he nor Paul was at home with the bowling though they stayed so long. Frank Sugg after a bad start hit well for his 58 and Baker was not out out for for 37 made in an hour and three quarters. Excepting Sugg’s display, none of the batting was of an attractive nature. Hirst in one over disposed of Tindall, Smith and Mold. Yorkshire, who fielded splendidly through­ out the day, had a very severe task left them, as with one Lancastrian wicket still to fall they were 299runs behind. On Wednesday 10 were added before Hallam was stumped. Then Mold soon extinguished the chances of Yorkshire, bowling Brown, Jackson, Tunnicliffe, Denton and Wainwright in quick succession. Peel played a very good game, and his 40 was hit up in 50 minutes. Nine wickets were down for 132, but Lord Hawke and Hunter put on 32 for the last partnership, and Lancashire won hand­ somely by 145 runs. Score and analysis L ancashire . First Innings. A .

SOMERSETSHIRE. ...173 RThis match, for the benefit of Thomas Mycroft, for eighteen years on the ground staff of the M.C.C., was commenced on Monday in brilliant weather, and being the principal fixture in London, there was a record attendance of nearly 18,000, 16,331 persons paying for admission. Both elevens were strong, and on a splendid wicket, Somerset, who won the toss, started well by means of L. Palairet and Fowler, who made 49 for the first wicket in half an hour. Then came a very fine stand by the brothers Palairet, who, without an actual chance, added 177 r'ins before the elder was caught at the wicket for 109, made in just under three hours His runs were made mostly by fine drives to the off, and included 13 fours. Richard Palairet’8 106 was his first century in important cricket, and included 15 fours. It was completed in two hours and fifty minutes. After the fall of the second wicket at 226 a long score seemed probable, but there was something of a collapse afterwards, and eight wickets were down for 273. Then, thanks to Tyler’s hitting, 36 were added for the ninth partnership, and aftsr a heavy shower had stopped play for thirty-five minutes, the score was raised to 337 before the innings closed. In the ten minutes left for play Middlesex fared disastrously, W ebbe being taken at slip, and Sir T. C. O’Brien at the wicket when only two had been scored. Resuming on Tuesday, Middlesex accomplished a fine performance, in four horn's and three quarters adding 368 runs, and finishing up 33 runs on. This was the work of four batsmen—Stoddart, Rawlin, Nepean, and Thornton— aided by mistakes in the field. Stoddart made 150. He was missed at 74, at 129, and at 133, but hit in fine style. His first fifty occupied an hour, but his second took 90 minutes, and his last just half an hour. He hit 24 fours. Rawlin made 61, and with Stoddart E ut on 133 for the fourth wicket in 100 minutes. He ad 10 fours. Despite this, seven wickets were down for 186, but with Nepean in, 50 minutes saw 80 runs added ; and after Stoddart left, Nepean with Thornton added 93 before he was run out, his fifty, though slow, being a most valuable and steady innings. He was in for a little over two hours. Thornton hit well, but should have been stumped twice before he had scored 20, and at 39 he was missed at mid-off. In the second attempt, L. Palairet and Fowler were out, and the score 71, when the match was adjourned, M ycroft had a good many patrons, as 7,961 persons paid gate. On Wednesday there was some sensational scoring by S. M. J. W oods. W . N. Roe and V. T. Hill hit well, but the captain’s 100 took him but 83 minutes to compile, and when Heame at length beat him, he had scored 109, the fourth century of the match. The remaining wickets did little, and Middlesex had less than three hours left in which to get 259 runs. Though Stoddart again hit well, there never was any chance of this being accomplished, and at the end a stand by Thornton and Nepean alone saved Middlesex from defeat, eight wickets having fallen for 158 runs.
