Cricket 1895

A u g . 1, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 309 SURREY v. SUSSEX. A t the Oval, on Thursday last, Sussex, winning the toss, went in on a slow and dead wicket, and against Eichardson’s bowling made but a poor show. During Sussex’s first innings Street strained himself in field­ ing, and with Mr. Murdoch’s consent, Holland, who had been given a rest, was substituted for him. There were no partnerships of much value in the southermost county’s first innings, th9 only stand being between Brann and Newham, who put on 30 for the fifth wicket. .Ranjitsinhji played the bowling with confidence, and was rather unlucky to be caught at point when he had made 21. Brann’s score just exceeded this number, but he did not play in his usual form, though Newham showed capital cricket for his 19. Seven Sussex batsmen made a dozen runs between them, and the innings was over in less than two hours ; Lohmann, by obtaining one wicket, just depriving Richardson of the glory of dismissing the whole side. G. L. Wilson, who was still very ill at Huddersfield, was absent from the Sussex eleven. Surrey began well, Abel and Maurice Read making 49 for the first wicket, but Tate bowled very finely, and though several men made a few runs, there was no protracted stand, and nine wickets had fallen for 160 when Richardson joined Brockwell, who, after commencing by scoring quickly, had been playing defensive cricket whilst W ood had rapidly hit up 16. The fast bowler began hittiog out at everything, and though several o f his hits went up, none fell within reach of a fieldsman, and Brockwell, also letting him­ self go, the score mounted rapidly, Tate’s analysis at last suffering. In forty minutes 63 were added, and then, in attempting a run which Brockwell did not start for, Richai'dson fell at full length near his comrade’s wicket, who generously crossed him to give him the not out. There was some doubt at first whether Brockwell had crossed before the wicket was put down, and Richardson was shown on the score board as out, but the umpires afterwards agreed that Brockwell’s wicket was down. Sussex lost one wicket on Thursday night for 11, and on Friday added but 122 for the remaining nine. Ranjitsinhji and Marlow played good cricket, and made 55 in an hour whilst partners for the third wicket, the former being at the wickets an hour and a half for his score. Parris and Killick made a few good Hits 8nd just averted the follow on, but no other batsmen reached double figures. Surrey had one run to get to win, Murdoch and Brann bowling. After the captain had sent down a maiden over, Brann bowled a ball in the direction of point, and the extra sufficed to give Surrey the victory by ten wickets. Score and analysis: — S ussex .

Towns­ end, who accounted for 16 wickets for 122 runs, was credited with another victory in this match commenced at Trent Bridge last Thursday. The wicket though soft was easy when Grace and Rice went in, but the latter left in the fourth over, and Grace after batting half an hour was caught for 4. Hemingway played free cricket, but the most creditable display by far was that of G. C. Jessop, whose 55 were made in thirty-five minutes in very attractive style. His 55 out of 61 included eight 4’s and eight 2’s. De Winton and Board made useful scores and the total reached 173. Notts had not the best of luck in going in on a wicket somewhat baked by the wind and sun, and with the exception of Bagguley and Dixon failed so badly that seven wickets had fallen for 86 when play was adjourned, and on Friday all were out for 120, the not out being Mr. W . H. G. Lowe, a Notts Castle amateur, and a new man to county cricket. There were eighteen extras, including seven no-balls, in the total. Gloucestershire’s second innings was noticeable for the success of the two young amateurs. Messrs. Hemingway and Townsend, and of Wrathall. Three wickets had fallen for 34 when Hemingway and Wrathall became associated, and by#spirited cricket 61 were added in fifty minutes before the amateur left. Rain interfered with play before Wrathall was out for a capital 41, and afterwards Board and Townsend put on 33 for the seventh wicket, the total being 171 for seven when a storm ended the day’s play. On Saturday, Townsend was out without adding to his excellent 41, and the innings closed for 188. Notts were left with 242 to win, but though seven men reached double figures the highest score was 24 by Flowers, who was twice missed when 2 and when 4, and the lace county never looked like winning, Townsend being again veiy difficult, and puzzlihg all the batsmen considerably. All the side were out for 106 runs and Gloucestershire won a well-deserved victory by 135 runs. Play was again interfered with by rain. In addition to Mr. Lowe, Notts played a new innn in Gregory, a young medium- paced right-hand bowler, who met with fair success with the ball, but obtained a pair of spectacles.

Roberts GENTLEMEN OF YORKSHIRE v. PLAYERS OF YORKSHIRE. In this match at York City, the Players proved far superior to the Gentlemen, and thanks to some splendid bowling by Foster, who has not appeared in the county teams this year, but obtained in this match 11 wickets for 37 runs, won by an innings and 49 runs. The batting of the amateurs calls for no comment, but seven of the Players obtained double figures, Peel leading the way with a well hit 43. It is questionable whether teams of like strength could be put in the field in a professional v. amateur match by auy county other than Yorkshire, one man only being new to first-class cricket of the whole 22.
