Cricket 1895

Auo. 15, 1895. ClilCKF/Ti: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 347 SUSSEX v. LANCASH IRE. At Brighton, August 13, 14,15. Both sides Were strong, and Sussex, winning the toss, went in on a wicket which had not recovered from the rain. The earlier Sussefc batsmen, despite a fair start by Fry and Marlow, who made 26 for the first wicket, failed badly, and four wickets were down for 38. Then Newham and Brann made the best stand of the innifrgs, 37 in forty minutes, but Lancaster going on dismissed three batsmen for a single, and in the end the total reached 102. Ward and McLaren, on a wicket faster than in the morning, hit so freely that the fifty went up at the end of half an hour’s play, and 81 in fifty-five minutes was the record for the first wicket, McLaren’s 44 being brilliantly scored. Wickets then fell so fast that six were down for 127, but then Benton and Lancaster put on 32 for the seventh, whilst for the ninth partnership Smith and Hallam added 65, Lancashire being 127 on with one wicket to fall when play was adjourned. On Tuesday the Brighton ground did not altogether escape the downpour of rain which prevented play elsewhere, but two hours’ play took place, in the course of which Lancashire completed their first innings and Sussex lost four wickets. Smith and Mold, on a very wet wicket, added 36 before the bowler was bowled, Smith taking out his bat for a remarkably well hit 67, which however included two chances. He had hit nine 4’s, and, as in the former match with Sussex, his was the highest innings on his side. Marlow and Fry opened Sussex’s second innings slowly, only 18 runs coming in half an hour, but at 30 Marlow left. Ranjitsinhji came in and for half an hour made but one hit for which runs came, a cut for-4. At 50 Fry was caught for 31, made in seventy minutes, and 11 runs later Murdoch also left. Lancaster, who was bowling very well dismissed Newham at 67, and then Brann stayed with the Indian prince till rain stopped play for the day. Yesterday Ranjitsinhji and Brann hit freely till at 114 the former was caught for a well played 41, for which he was batting,two hours. Brann and Bean went on scoring rapidly, and when the professional left for a freely hit 49, Parris continued the batting display, and with Brann made a fine defence, but after they were separated at 239. Brann having been batting for three hours, the remaining wickets fell rapidly, and Lancashire after all were left with 84 to get to win. A very bad start was made by the Northerners, three wickets falling for 19; but thanks to Albert Ward and Tyldesley, the runs were eventually obtained, and Lancashire won by four wickets.

This match should have been played on these dates, but as far as the first two days are concerned there was not a ball bowled. On Tuesday this appears to have been due to a misunderstanding between the Gloucester­ shire captain and the umpires, since the ground was declared by the latter tit for play at four o’clock. Yesterday Grace won the toss, and put Kent in. Alec Hearne and Easby both failed, and Livesay was easily disposed of. Mason and Stewart then made a good stand, Jessop being unable through illness to continue bowling, and 56 runs were put on in seventy- five minutes. Then came a complete breakdown, tbe last six wickets falling to Townsend and Roberts for 24 runs. Gloucestershire also made a poor start, losing Ferris without any score, and W . G. Grace not meeting \*ith much success, it did not seem as if the small score of Kent would be exceeded. Wrathall, however, played a very tine innings, and was seconded by Hemingway. Eight of the Glouces­ ter batsmen between them registered 21 runs, but on the first innings the western county had a lead of 11. W ith a draw certain, Kent played up well in their second innings, and had scored 89 for two wickets when time expired. Score and analysis:— K e n t . Mr. R. O. H.

Both sides were fairly represented, but heavy rain fell in the morning of the opening day, so that very little play was possible, the game being commenced late m the afternoon. The only features of the day’s play were a well-hit 23 by A . S. Johnstone, and C. McGahey’s not out 24. In one hour and three quarters of play only; 77 runs were scored, the game being very slow ana dull. Yesterday McGahey added but 1. Russell, how­ ever, with Mead hit up a few and the innings closed for 121. Middlesex began none too well, Douglas leaving at 11 and Stoddart at 30. Worse followed, for Lucas and Rawlin were both caught without scoring, and though Warner and O’Brien made a few runs, the whole side was out for a meagre 63. Essex went in for hitting and making 66 for three wickets declared their innings, leaving Middlesex 125 to win and no time to get them in. Stoddart and Warner were dismissed at the start, two wickets being downt for 13, but Douglas and Lucas improved matters, and after the former left Rawlin helped Lucas to. avert, defeat, four wickets only having fallen for 66 at the close of play.
