Cricket 1896

140 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y , 14 , 1896. M.C.C. V. LANCASHIRE. Lord’s, May 11& 12. M.C.C. won by 160runs. Lancashire were without Mold, -who was playing against the Australians, and I’Anson, who bowls rather fast right hand with a high delivery, was given a trial. Mr. Stoddart and Mr. De Trafford began the batting for the M.C.C. on a very hard wicket to Briggs ana I’Anson. Mr. Stoddart seemed at home at once, and soon both men gave a fine display of dashing cricket. The score was quickly taken to 42, when Cuttell went on to bow l; Mr. Stoddart drove him into the Players’ pavilion. W ith the score at 103, I ’Anson bowled Stoddart for 46, and De Trafford was caught soon after for 60. Both innings were altogether admirable. W ith Chatterton and Mr. Marchant together, the cricket was slow. Briggs neatly threw out Chatterton j ustbefore lunch. After­ wards wickets fell rapidly. Mr. Marchant was caught for a very useful 37, and Hearne was deceived by a slow ball from I’Anson. Martin did nothing, and the innings closed for 191. Lancashire began very badly, losing Ward. Paul, and Sug£ for 18 runs. W ith P Anson in, the best stand o f the innings was m ade; and after Mr. Hornby had stolen some runs, both men hit hard, and the score mounted up quickly; everybody seemed pleased to see Mr. Hornby in such good form, and as eager to run as ever. After P Anson’s plucky innings came to an end, Mr. Hornby was caught for an invaluable 66. FAnson’ s inning* of 34 was very useful; coming when it did, it quite altered the state of the game. Smith kept his end up while Briggs hit boldly for his 36. W ith Hallam in and the score at 158, stumps were drawn for the day. The innings closed for 173. Mr. Stoddart and Mr. W right started well for the M.C.C., and the score was taken to 46 when Baker went on instead of PAnson, and at once bowled Stoddart. Chatterton pleased everybody by hitting instead of playing his usual slow correct game, and 50 went up in 40 minutes. Mr. De Trafford hit very hard, and runs came quickly, De Trafford scdring 16 off an over of Hallam’s. The first hour produced 106 runs. Mr. De Trafford was cauB’ht in the country for a faultless 46. Mr. Hay- man and Mr. Marchant made another long and useful stand, till Marchant was well caught fora very useful 46. The Lancashire fielding was good, Sugg and Cuttell being especially prominent. Mr. Hayman played a distinctly good innings. Heame made some Dig hits, and the total was brought up to 301; Hornby and Benton began the Lancashire innings, but did badly, and wickets fell fast. Sugg made 4 fours in his 17, and everyone seemed sony to see him play a ball on to his wicket. Briggs again hit away and scored 54, but no one else did much except Baker. M.C.C. & Ground.

ESSEX. Oval, Hay 11, 12, and 13. Surrey won by an innings and 20 runs. _"With Surrey at full strength—with the one exeep- tion of George Lohmann, now on his way home from South Africa—Esxex had a hard task before them at the Oval on Monday, the more so as they were with­ out Mr. A. P. Lucas, as well as Mr. A. S. Johnston. To make up to some extent they had the good luck to get first use of an excellent wicket, even if they failed to utilise the opportunity. A very bad start was made with half the side out for 54, of which Mr. McGahey had contributed 3i by good cricket. A useful stand by Mr. Owen and RusseU, who added 66, improved matters considerably for them ; and, thanks to a capital innings by Mr. F. G. Bull, the total eventually reached 174, a much better result than at one time seemed likely. The rate of the scoring, which had been very slow while Essex were in, in­ creased mateiially when Surrey began to bat; and in the little over two hours and a half left for play on Monday, 177 were got for the loss of three wickets. Abel was then not out 89, and the interest on the following m om iD g centred in the question whether he would make his third successive hundred for Surrey. As it was, until Mr. Key came in on the fall of the sixth wicket, he had to do most of the run-getting. The Surrey captain, who has begun the season well, played good free cricket after the first few overs, helping to add 90 runs for the partnership. Mean­ while Abel had been scoring at a faster rate than is his wont from all the bowlers. An appeal for a catch at the wicket off Mr. McGahey when he had made 195 was given in his favour. A few overs later the luncheon bell rang, Abel (who was still in) having just completed his second hundred, with the total of 387 for seven wickets. On resuming after, adding 31 more, he was at last caught and bowled from a hard return; his 231 is the biggest score he has ever made. For this he was batting just under five hours and a half. He gave a chance in the slips when he had got two, and once or twice, late in his innings, he had a little luck in the same position. Still, it was an exceptionally fine display of his characteristic methods, watchful battiDg, and excellent timing. W ith 256 to save the innings, Essex had nearly three hours left on Tuesday night. Though a little tedious at times, some good cricket was shown by Messrs. Perrin, Kortright, and Owen, with the result that by halfrpast six o’clock the score was 150, with two wickets to fall. Mr. Perrin’s*52 was a painstaking innings ; and as it was his first mat^h for Essex, too much praise can hardly be given to him for the nerve he showed under trying circumstances. Yesterday Mr. Owen, who was not out 20 over night, played particularly good cricket, scoriD g freely all round. He received useful help, too, from Mead and Pickett, and the last wicket offered such a stubborn resistance that it looked as if Surrey might, after all, have to go in again. As it was, with the total 236, Richardson bowled Pickett, so that Essex were beaten by an innings and 20 runs. Mr. Owen carried out his bat for 70, an exceedingly good display of free and attrac­ tive cricket. E ssex . First Innings. Mr. C. J.
