Cricket 1895

A u g . 8, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 331 SURREY y. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Played at Kennington Oval, August 5th, 6th, and 7th. For this always interesting match both sides were strongly represented. Surrey left out Holland for Lockwood, and Notts Wilkinson for Hardstaff. Arthur Shrewsbury again took his place in the team, and Mr. P. W . Oscroft was also included. The wicket was soft and run getting extremely difficult, so that Notts took little advanlage from Mr. Key’s again losing the toss. Just after the start C. W . W right’s wicket fell and though for awhile the noted Notting­ ham pair, Gunn and Shrewsbury, put on runs at a moderate pace, the latter alone played good cricket for an hour for his 23. After he left, fourth out at 43, no stand at all was made until at 55, Hardstaff, the last man came in. In unusual style for first-class cricket, the latter put on runs rather quickly, and Lohmann, who with Richardson, had bowled very finely, gave way to Hayward, who finished off the innings in his first over. Surrey began none too well, M. Read being out at seven, and after fifty minutes slow play for 29, Abel was taken at slip. N. F. Druce then made his first success for Surrey, hitting brilli­ antly, so that 21 were added in ten minutes. Some faults in the field deprived Notts of wicke's. Hay­ ward being missed when nine and let off at the wicket when 13, while Druce gave a chance when 28. How­ ever at 63, or 34 for the wicket, Hayward was out, and Druce followed at 67, having made 33 out of 38 in twenty-five minutes, a dashing display on such a wicket. Rain delayed play, and afterwards, Brock­ well and K. J. Key did well on the wet pitch, after W . W . Read left at 97, and at the close of play, when Brockwell was out. the score was 128 for* eight, the last batsman having given no chance. On Tuesday, Lockwood kept up his wicket while Kev hit, and 25 runs were made for the eighth wicket. Key’s 30 was a very good display under the circumstances, and the innings closed leaving Surrey 75 to the good. Notts again found it impossible to do much on the treacher­ ous wicket, and in an hour and a half scored 40 only, when rain put an end to the day’s play. Shrewsbury again played well, but was disposed of by a remark­ able catch by Brockwell, and with the great batsman, Gunn, Jones, and Flowers out, Notts appeared to have but a sorry chance. Yesterday the ground was quite unfit for play, and play was not started until late in the afternoon, when Dixon and Wright con­ tinued the innings. Very careful play was the order of the day, and though both the batsmen were dis­ missed, no other casualty befel Notts, who at the close of play had four wickets to fall with 15 wanted to save the innings defeat.

The wicket was slow and difficult, and in the belief that it would improve later in the day, and Mr. S. H. Evershed, winning the toss, put in his antagonists, a policy justified by results. A t the outset, C. Robson and Barton hit up 40 in twenty-five minutes, and for the third partnership Captains Wynyard and Quinton added 43, but five wickets were down for 99, and the remaining five resulted in but 45 more. Captain Quinton was at the wickets two hours and played veiy fine cricket. As will be seen, Porter was chiefly responsible for the Hampshire failure. On going in to bat, the Derbyshire amateurs, Evershed and Wright, opened in brilliant style, hitting up 50 in half an hour, and 77 in just under the hour, when both left. After a delay through rain, Chatterton was cheaply dismissed, but Bagshaw and Davidson played in capital style, and kepf. their wicket up until play closed for the day, Derbyshire then being three runs behind with three wickets down. Next morning the not outs took the score to 179. the partnership yielding the odd 79 in two hours, when Davidson was out for an excellent 37. Storer came in, and another stand ensued, 51 going on for the wicket. Bagshaw and Sugg added 31, and then the former was at last got rid of. having been at the wickets three hours and a half for a fine innings of 85, in which he gave one chance when 17. The remaining four wickets fell for 15 runs, and Hants were left in a minority of 142. Their second atcempt was marked by the excellent batting of Captain Wynyard and the failure of the remaining batsmen, for when play ceased for the day six wickets had fallen for 76, Wynyard having scored 43 of the first 68 runs in an hour and a quarter. Resuming yesterday, no sort of a stand was made for the last four wickets, 16 runs only being made before the end came. Porter bowled finely in each innings, taking 13 wickets for 100 runs, and it was owinsr to him as much as to the batsmen that Derbyshire defeated the conquerors of Yorkshire by no less than an innings and 50 runs.

MIDDLESEX. At Taunton, August 5th. 6th, and 7th. The teams were representative, the most notable incident being the appearance of Mr. C. M. Wells for Middlesex, the old Cantab having last previously played in county cricket for Surrey in 1892. Winning the toss, Somer­ setshire batted first on a soft wicket, and in Rawlin’s first over lost two wickets, a disastrous commence­ ment. W ith the exception of L. C. H. Palairct none of the Western County’s batsmen could do much with the bowling, until C. E. Dunlop came in after six wickets were down for 75. The old Oxoniau had been playing first-rate cricket, and had made 50 of the first 67. A shower having made run-getting easier, Palairet and Dunlop hit out very severely, and in half an hour 68 runs were put on, Dunlop’s 30 being an invaluable contribution, and very hard hit, including six 4’s and two 2’s. No other batsmen stayed with Palairet, who carried his bat through the innings for 113 out of 168 from the bat. He had been batting for two hours and twenty minutes, and over­ came the difficulties of the wicket in fine style, giving no real chance until just before he was out. The wicket had improved when Middlesex went in, and Stoddart and Douglas opened very well, 64 being made before Stoddart went. Douglas made 47 in sixty-five minutes without a fault. McGregor did not stay long, but R. S. Lucas and Rawlin, in drizzling rain, added 79 in the last fifty minutes’ play, and were not out when time was called. Middlesex were then three runs behind, with three wickets down, a curious coincidence with the Hamp­ shire and Derbyshire score on the same day. Next day Rawlin made his score exactly 50 when he was out for a lucky but valuable innings, and R. S. Lucas exceeded the half century by 2. His score included a 6 and six 4’s, and occupied an hour and three quarters. Sir T. C. O’Brien was twenty minutes at the wicket before he scored, and his 21 was not in his usual style. Webbe, Warner and Heame all contributed to the total, which left behind that of Somersetshire by 94 runs. Fowler and L. Palairet opened the western county’s second venture, but though Fowler hit vigorously no long stand was made, and the fourth wicket fell for 62. Then Woods joined Roe and a fine partnership ensued, 21 coming in one over from Rawlin, and the score mounting up 86 in fifty-five minutes. Phillips going on for Rawlin both the bats­ men were dismissed. The later batsmen made useful contributions and stumps were drawn for the day, with Somerset 134 runs ou with a wicket to fall. Yesterday, owing to the state of the ground, play was deferred until after lunch, but no improvement tak­ ing place the game was abandoned as a draw. Score and analysis:— S o m er set .
