Cricket 1895

A u g . 22, 1895. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 357 SURREY v. LANCASH IRE. At Kennington Oval, August 15th and 16th. The match between these counties at the Oval is always an interesting fixture, and for variety of incident and moments of excitement this year’s game has ex­ celled even the famous tie match of last year. Winning the toss Mr. Key put his opponents in on a difficult wicket, but the expected improvement did not occur, and it is questionable whether Surrey would not have done better with tflte first knock. There was so curious a similarity in the fortunes of each innings on the fall of the seventh wicket, that the following tabulated statements of runs at the fall of each wicket and of the runs registered for each partnership may be interesting. I.—Runs at the fall of each wicket: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Surrey 1st ... 1 11 15 22 22 35 :S5 57 98 108 Surrey 2nd.. . 0 0 0 5 14 21 21 43 79 85 Lancs 1st ... 8 17 18 l'.i 22 37 37 124 127 143 Lancs 2nd .. . 32 37 37 42 58 62 62 91 91 94 II.—Runs scored for each partnership : Surrey 1st .. . 1 10 4 7 0 13 0 22 41 10 Surrey 2nd.. . 0 0 0 5 9 7 0 22 36 6 Lancs 1st .. . 8 9 1 1 3 15 0 87 3 16 Lancs 2nd ... 32 5 0 5 16 4 0 29 0 3 It will be noticed that the eighth and ninth wickets yielded 242 runs out of the total of 403, and that the seventh wicket in all four innings added nothing to the score, a circumstance to which there must be but few parallels. Of course with such collapses in the batting the bowlers had good times. Richardson, who during the game took his ‘200th wicket this season in first-class cricket, had altogether ten for SO, whilst Mold was but little behind with ten for 98. There were three or four batting exploits amid a crowd of failure*. On the firstday A. C. Maclaren’s52 was worth as much asmany a century on adifferentsort of ground. He was batting two hours and twenty minutes, and hit eight 4’s, and his innings was quite worthy of his best reputation. Smith also played fine cricket in Lancashire’s first and Sugg in their second innings. For Surrey, Brockwell made an admirable 36 and W ood a most plucky 23 in the first attempt, and in the second innings Mr. Key in brilliant form made a remarkable effort to save the match, and with a little more support might have snatched the game out of the fire. His 50 (not out) was his best innings for a long time, it included one single, five 2’s, five 3’s, and six 4’s, and as he was batting only forty-five minutes it was very quickly hit off bowling against which most of the side were powerless. The sensational opening of Surrey’s second innings, three wickets going down without a run in the first three overs (in each case from the third ball of the over) and the fourth wicket falling at five will long be remembered. In the end Surrey met their third defeat in the championship series by 44 runs. Score and analysis : — L a n c a s h ir e . First Innings. Ward, st W ood, b Lohmann Sugg, b Richardson ...........

The wicket was rather soft, but hardly to such an extent as to cause expectations of such a bowler’s day as Thursday proved. Sussex batted first and Bean was well taken by Baldwin from a high return when the score was 3. A t 10 the same player bowled Fry, and at the same total Ranjitsinhji was caught ‘at the wicket off the fast bowler. A t 14 Baldwin dismissed both Murdoch and Brann in the same over. Newham and Marlow stayed together twenty minutes when the latter, who had a baa knee and dislocated finger, left, and at 31 Parris was clean bowled. The eighth wicket fell at 39, and Newham then at last found a useful partner in Butt. The former played most careful cricket for an hour an^ a half, but when he was run out the innings quickly closed for 85. Butt’s 27 was a most valuable score. In the course of this innings Bald­ win took his hundredth wicket this season. Hants began with Bencraft and Robson, the doctor being bowled second ball. Just as Sussex had failed, so did the Hampshiremen, and five wickets were down for 31. Then Barton hit in flue form, Ward playing steadily, and 38 runs were put on for the sixth wicket. Barton’s 38 were made by fine resolute cricket. Nine men were out for 91, but Baldwin made a lucky 14 and the total reached 108. Twenty-three behind, Sussex hit off the arrears without loss, but Bean left five later. On Friday Ranjitsinhji played a capital innings of 41, but despite this eight wickets were down for 105, and Sussex only 82 ahead. Butt for the ninth wicket with Parris hit the Hampshire bowling all over the field, and in less than an hour 72 were put on. Nor were Hampshire’s troubles over with Parris’s departure, Butt was still left and Tate hit even more vigorously, and 73 more points were registered before the wicket keeper was caught at wicket. When Hants went in, Parris and Tate again were to the fore, and aided by Butt at the wicket, disposed of the Hampshire batsmen for 89, the only stand being by Barton and Hill who stayed the rot for a time, but no one else made double figures. In the match Tate had ten wickets for 81 runs, so that he had a very large share in the victory of his team. Sussex thus won by 148 runs, after at one time appearing to be on the way to a severe defeat. Score and analysis:— S u ss ex . First Innings. Bean, c and b Baldwin ... 2 Mr. C. B.
