Cricket 1896

J u n e 11, 1896. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 2 0 1 MIDDLESEX v. NOTTS. Played at Lord’s on June 4 and 5. Middlesex won by 153 runs. There was a capital attendance when Mr. Stoddart and Mr. Hayman started the Middlesex innings on a wicket that was drying quickly. From the first neither batsman could do anything with Attewell, who bowled a splendid length throughout the match; at times he was irresistible. W ith the score at 35, Mr. Stoddart played back to him and was bowled. Flowers was the first change bowler, and as he considerably increased the rate of scoring, he was replaced by Guttridge, a changewhich was immediately successful, for Mr. Hayman was bowled in his first over by a ball that just took a bail so neatly that the spectators hardly seemed to know the batsman was out. Mr. Hayman’s innings of 51 took him just over an hour to make, and was in every way brilliant. Mr. MacGregor was in for twenty minutes before he scored, and, of course, when he did get a run there was much applause. Some rather slow cricket followed. Mr. Jones came on and quickly bowled the Middlesex wicket-keeper, and got Mr. Lucas l.b.w. with no alteration in the score. W ith Rawlin and Sir T. C. O’Brien in together after lunch, the liveliest cricket of the match was seen, and both men hit very hard, and some of Rawlin’s cuts were especially good, while twice Sir T. C. O’Brien turned round and hit Jones very finely to leg. The score was taken to 170 when Rawlin was well caught by Mr. Robinson off a hard drive for a fine innings of 40 made without a chance. Some much slower cricket followed with Daft bowling, until Sir T. C. O’ Brien was bowled in playing forward to a good one from Attewell for a very useful and characteristic 43. W ith Phillips in the 200 went up, but Attewell secured two more wickets quickly, and the innings closed for 227. Soon after five o’clock Mr. A. O. Jones and Shrewsbury began the Notts innings to the bowling of Phillips and J. T. Hearne. Both men hit, and Shrewsbury quite kept pace with Mr. Jones; he made some fine cuts and drives. The score was taken to 32 when Mr. Jones was caught. On Gunn’s arrival the two famous Notts batsmen played care­ fully, and the score was taken to 74 when stumps were drawn for the day. A lot of rain fell during the night, and Gunn and Shrewsbury batting on a very treacherous wicket took the score to 95, when Shrews­ bury was well caught for a capital 49. The bowlers now had it all their own way, and the remaining batsmen could only put together 25 runs. With Attewell and Guttridge bowling, the Middlesex second innings was a most disastrous one and Sir T. C. O’Brien was the only one who met with any great success. The last two batsmen gave some trouble, but Dr. Thornton ought to have been easily run out. Dr. Thornton played really good cricket. Badly as Middlesex did in their second innings, Notts did worse, Hearne and Rawlin were very difficult, and as wickets fell rapidly, it was soon seen that Notts were to be defeated. The last two men aroused a little interest, but the match was soon over after six o’clock. M id d le se x . First innings. Second innings. A. E. Stoddart, b Attewell 16 cPike,b Guttridge 12 H. B.

YORK­ SHIRE. Played at Cambridge on June 4 and 5. Cambridge won by an innings and 35 runs. A Yorkshire eleven which does not 'include Peel, Hirst, Hunter, and Mr. Milligan can by no means be considered as really representing- the county, and although the team which opposed Cambridge was strong in batting its bowling was distinctly weak. On the other hand, three Cambridge Blues were away. Rain played a great part in the game, and had not a little to do with the easy victorv of the home team, who, after batting on a good wicket, w^re fortunate enough to be able to bowl against the Yorkshiremen on the following day on a tricky one. At the same time, they broke the back of the Yorkshire batting in the first day. thanks to some fine bowling by Mr. Je^sop, and good fortune in disDOsing of Mr. Jackson by a run out. Several of the Cambridge men distinguished themselves in batting, notably Mr. Burnup and Mr. Druce, who mastered the bowling, and gave the tail a good chance of matang runs, of which Mr. Jessop and Mr. Moore especially availed themselves. It is as pleasant to see Mr. Druce again in fine form, as it is sad to see that Mr. Mitchell continues to be out of luck’s way. It would seem, that unless Mr. Burnup fails altogether in the later matches, he is certain to get his “ blue,” for he is almost as good as anyone on the side. In this match the Cambridge bowlers gave an excellent account of themselves. Mr. Jessop can hardly fail to get his “ blue,” and if Mr. Shine can manage to dispense with a few of his “ off-days,” he also has a good chance of being included in the team. It remains to be seen whether Mr. W . G. Grace and Mr. H. Gray will be good enough to retain their places, and it will do neither of them any harm to have to fight for them.

It was a wise move on the part of the Surrey captain to put Derbyshire in first, for it was long odds that the wioket would gradually improve aU day after the rain which had fallen upon it, and there did not seem much probability that any more rain would fall for some time. Mr. Evershed began to try to force the game, which was really the only way of making runs at first, but nobody else followed his example, Sugg, however, played very pretty cricket while he was in. Both Lohmann and Richardson were very difficult to play, and frequently beat the batsmen, but the luck was in the way of Lohmann, off whom two splendid catches were made by Brockwell and Hayward. Davidson stopped the rot which seemed likely to set in, and found a useful partner in Mr. Marsden, but despite the efforts of these two men the total only came to 96. On the improving wicket Surrey did well. Abel made his fourth hundred of the season, and Hayward and Lockwood were in great form. Two or three other men did fairly well, so that the total was over three hundred, and it was almost certain that Derbyshire would be beaten in an innings. There were only three extras—two leg-byes and a wide. In their second innings Derbyshire, when it was too late, did much better, although only two men, Chatterton and Davidson, made large scores, It would be interesting to know how many times these two famous pro­ fessionals have made a long stand together for their county ; the number must be very large. Lohmann was again successful with the ball, and it is reasonable to suppose that he will be found of the utmost value to Surrey in the remaining matches. D e r b y sh ir e . First innings.
