Cricket 1895

J une 13, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 203 SURREY y . SOMERSETSHIRE. After a game o f many vicissitudes Surrey won this match at the Oval before five o’clock on Tuesday. The wicket looked a good one but at times helped the bowlers, and no doubt was somewhat over watered. At the start things went very badly for Somersetshire from whose team L. C. H. Palairet was an absentee. Lockwoods fourth ball proved fatal to Fowler who was well-caught at cover-point by Brockwell, and the next delivery R. Palairet did not attempt to play but it broke back and bowled him, two wickets being down for 0. J. T. Hill did not stay long for Richardson beat him at 10, while at 14 Poynton was out, and Spurway at 16 was bowled off his leg. Five wickets had thus fallen for 16 when W oods came in, and after making 3 offered an easy chance to W . W . Read at point, which was declined. After this escape Woods hit brilliantly and the 50 went up at the end of an hour’s play. Evans hit a 6 (run out) and a 4 in one over from Lockwood, but at 75 was caught by that player. The wicket had added 75 in 40 minutes. Woods, well assisted by Nicols continued his rapid scoring, several short runs being brought off and a good stand was made, 62 being added in 55 minutes before a short run brought Nichols to grief. Woods did not stay much longer, skying a ball to Key in trying to drive. His 85 hit in two hours, less ten minutes was without blemish, and hit with his characteristic brilliancy. It contained 10 fours. Wickham and Westcott, the latter new to the team, put on 21 for the last wicket, and the innings after all reached 186. Surrey started in unpromising style Woods getting rid of Lockwood, Hayward, and Holland for 21, but Walter Read and Abel played well together and 56 were put on in 45 minutes when Read and Street left at the same total, 77. Key and Abel took the score to 100 when Nicols beat Abel with a good ball. Abel’s 42 was made in excellent form. Key was soon caught from a skier, and Smith who succeeded was in a quarter of an hour for a single, play being very slow at this juncture, but eight wickets were down for 118. W ood hit his first ball to Nichols atpoint.but was missed, and likeWood’s escape in Somersetshire’s innings this cost the opponents a lot of trouble, for aided by another let-off at slip W ood hit merrily and 42 were put on without loss in the last half hour. On Tuesday Brockwell played ilnely and 146 had been made for the partnership before he was bowled by W oods for a splendid innings o f 80 made without a chance. Richardson was soon out and Surrey finished up 83 runs ahead. W ood had plenty of luck, but his not out 77 contained some capital strokes. Excepting V. T. Hill, who played a f ood defensive innings, the western county’s batsmen ailed completely in their second hands, and Surrey were left with 20 only to win, a task which they accomplished fojr the loss of Lockwood’s wicket.

Leicestershire had a good team for this match at Trent Bridge on Monday, including F. W . Stocks, but Flowers was an absentee from the Nottingham eleven. Winning the toss, the Midlanders, on a capital wicket, gave a respectable but by no means a great display. The batting honours lay with Holland, Tomlin, and Chapman, who between them scored two-thirds of the 180 runs from the bat. The most attractive cricket was when the two first named in less than forty minutes made 50 for the second wicket, but Chapman’s play, though his score was most useful to his side, was wearisome to watch, his 39 occupying rather more than three houis. In rather more than an hour left for play Notts put on 71 for the loss of Daft’s wicket, Gunn and Jones playing Woodcock with confidence and success. On Tuesday there was a long partnership between these players, and not until it had lasted four hours and a half was it dissolved, when both were out almost together, after exceeding their centuries. Jones gave no chance, but Gunn should have been caught when 41. The batting was correct and at times interesting, but with periods of slowness. Once Jones made but four runs in 39 minutes. The partnership realised 230 runs. In comparison with the century-makers no one showed much form for Notts, indeed, the remaining batsmen made but 67 of the 296 runs from the bat, though Attewell and Bagguley stayed together for an hour and a quarter. Leicestershire were 120 runs in arrear, an<Tbefore time arrived had lost Whiteside’s wicket for 7 runs. Yesterday, Handford and Atte­ well bowled with so great effect that Leicestershire failed to save the innings defeat, Hildyard. and Lorrimer alone making any show, and Notts finally winning by an innings and 16 runs.

The Club sent a fairly strong team to encounter the University in the latter’s last home trial on Mon­ day, but a slight addition of batting strength would perhaps have been an advantage. The University was without Fry, Bardswell, Lewis, Arkwright, Phillips, Racker, and Leveson-Gower, mostly engaged in the schools. Oxford batted first, and though G. O. Smith went in Pickett’s first over, Warner and Foster made a capital stand, both were, however, missed in the field, the former when 25, and the latter when 22. 74 runs had been scored in as many minutes, when Foster whose stylish 40, included a five, and four 4’s, was succeeded by Mordaunc. He lost War­ ner at 96 for a good 44, but Bosworth-Smith and Baiss both gave him admirable support, 42 being added for the fourth, and 103 for the fifth wicket. He gave a half chance at 48 to Mead, but made no other mistake in his brilliant 95, for which he bai ted two hours and- a-quarter, and which contained seventeen 4’s. Baiss was in 25 minutes without scoring, but his 57 in one hour and 50 minutes was a good display. The Club had but 20 minutes’ batting, and A. Hearne and Bean scored 29 therein. On Tuesday, Hearne increased his score to 65, the same total as Oxford’s highest scorer, and all the M. C. C. batsmen, exc-pt Pickett, the not­ out, obtained the double figures, the University total being passed by 31. The principal partnership« were between Beane and Hearne who made 122 in 85 min­ utes for the first wicket. Quilon and Hearne 47 for the second, Hewett and Philipson 54 in 35 minutes for the sixth, and Mead and Martin 39 for the ninth. Heame’.s 95 occupied two hours and-a-half, and he S ave no chance, a remark which also applies to Bean, xford did only fairly well in the early part of their second innings, but Mordaunt again played finely, and was not out 39 at the end of Tuesday’s play. Yester­ day Mordaunt was out when he had added 6 to his score, and no one else making any stand, M.C.C. were set only 133 to win. Bean was out before a run was scored, but the result was never in doubt, and the Club won by five wickets, the match being over at 3.50. Score and analysis :— O xford U niversity . First Innings.
