Cricket 1895

A u g . 8, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 LANCASHIRE y. DERBYSHIRE. At Old Trafford Ground, Manchester, August 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Lancashire did not, in their first innings, play like the one-horse team to which certain critics have compared them this year, for though Ward and A. C. Maclaren, their two best bats, scored 67 only, the total amounted to 242. It should be said that Briggs was absent owing to an injury, and that C. C. Pilkington, this year’s Eton captain, made a very respectable first appearance for the county. It was not so much the runs he made, as the way in which he got them, that encouraged the hope that he will be very useful to the county. Baker, who has been out of luck, played a very good 73, his best innings this season, and Lancaster also played in good form. Derbyshire began badly, and had lost three wickets for 65 when play was adjourned. On Friday, Chatterton was out when 16 had been added, but Davidson and Storer made a fine stand, and by excellent cricket put on 70 runs before the stumper retired for 39. Walter Sugg came in and a determined resistance was offered to the bowling. Davidson played carefully and completed his 1000 runs this season, while Sugg hit freely, Lancashire missing Briggs’ bowling. A t length Davidson was out at 214 for 77, a superb exhibition which occupied him three horns and twenty minutes. Sugg was out at 270 for 84, the highest innings in the match. He was batting two hours and a half, and hit twelve 4’s. W ith an unexpected deficit of 49 on the first innings Ward and Maclaren were lost in wiping out arrears, and at 55 Paul, Tyldesley, and F. Sugg all left. Pilkington and Baker played out time, and on Saturday took the score to 90—35 for the sixth wicket—when the Etonian was bowled for a useful 17. Benton and Baker forced the game, and carried the score to 129, Baker then leaving for 49, which included eight 4’s, and was again the best and highest score for his side. Rain greatly interfered with play, and at last the Lanca­ shire innings was completed for 166, Lancaster carrying out his bat for a good 27. Derbyshire had 118 to get to win, and two hours left for play, the light being terribly bad. Mold dismissed Evershed before a run had been scored, and then the storm broke, no further play being possible. Derbyshire again experienced the disappointment of the weather stopping play at a time when victory seemed within their grasp, but Davidson, at any rate, achieved a great performance in taking his hundredth wicket and scoring his thousandth run in a season, in one and the same match. This is, we believe, one more record for this record year. Score and analysis L ancashire . First Innings. Sugg(F.),c W right, b Porter 18 31 Ward (A.), b Davidson Paul, b Davidson..................

Both sides had practically their full strength and the wicket was in good condition. Several noteworthy incidents are connected with the game. In the first place Mr. C. L. Townsend, the young slow bowler, accomplished a fine performance, and the number of wickets taken by him during the season now warranting his being included in the bowling average, si 6 takes frst place with nearly a run a wicket better average than Peel. Thus the western county at present is represented by the players holding the best average in both batting and bowling. Then it is curious to observe that nine men in Gloucestershire’s first innings obtained double figures, and that of these eight batted in the second innings, every one again scoring double figures ; this must be a very unusual circumstance. There was, however, no three figure in n iD g s. Gloucestershire’s first total was 231, Messrs. Jessop and Sewell doing well when the earlier wickets had fallen rather cheaply, and Warwickshire b e g in n in g well on Thurs­ day and scoring 114 for three wickets the game looked in their favour, Walter Quaife and Lilley being still together. However, on Friday Townsend and Jessop carried all before them after the not outs had been separated. Walter Quaie had been at the wicket two hours for his 53, an excellent display. Gloucestershire were 65 to the good, and W . G. Grace and Ferris put them quite safe by their stand of 106 in an hour and a half for the first wicket. Ferris made just half of these by the best cricket he has shown this year, in c lu d in g some fine off hits. Grace was second out at 142, his 70 including ten 4’s, and being made in his best style. Rice and Jessop, for the fourth wicket in a little over half an hour scored 72. Jessop had hit 50, consisting of nine 4’s, six 2’s, and two singles, but he was four times missed in the long field. Rice was in for 80 minutes, and his 48 out of 135 made during his stay was a carefully and correctly played innings. 301 had been made for eight wickets when time was called, and on Saturday Grace at once declared his innings. Rain interfered with play to some extent, but luckily for the Westerners there was sufficient fine weather to allow Townsend and Jessop to get rid of the Warwickshire batsmen, who played for the most part a very patient game in hope of a draw, three hours being occupied with the help of a shower or two in making 112 runs. In the match Townsend had ten wickets for 129 runs and Jessop nine for 71, these young bowlers practically sharing the wickets, while Jessop in addition made 90 runs.

After a fair display by Marlborough, the Rugby boys failed badly in their first innings, but thanks mainly to C. P. Nickalls and E. A. Lassen, on following on they set Marlborough 139 to win, and the side breaking down before the bowling of Gowers and Spencer, who had been comparatively ineffective in the first innings, Rugby won a plucky victory by 70 runs.
