Cricket 1896

210 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 11, 1896. M.O.C. v. KENT. Played at Lord’s on June 8 and ! Kent won by 2 runs. The M C.C. had not a strong batting side, but they had some good bowlers. The wicket had been made very difficult by the heavy rain on Sunday night. Kent batted first, and J. T. Hearne promptly dis­ missed three men in less than a quarter of an hour, and his analysis at one time was lour wickets for one run. Alec Hearne stenrmed the tide of disaster, and put together an invaluable 24. Easby’s innings was the best cricket—from a batsman’s point of v ie w - shown during the day; his hitting was always hard and well timed, and had the effect of bringing on Pougher for Mead, and the game took quite another turn, and nine men were out before lunch. The M.C.C. started very badly to the bowling of Mr. Shine and Martin. Mr. Shine brought off a brilliant one- handed catch and bowled Carpenter; so two good wickets fell almost immediately for two runs. Pougher seemed at home at once, and put one of Mr. Shine’s fast ones to the leg boundary, and cut him for 4. He seemed likely to make a score when his wicket was thrown dow n; he was within easy reaching distance of the crease, but. did not put his bat down. Directly after this, Mr. Peacock, having a hit at a fast straight yorker, was dismissed. AViih Dr. Thornton and Carlin together some very fhort runs were attempted, but after a time Carlin hit Martin into Mr. Mason’s hands on the boundary. Mr. Bathurst soon fell a victim toone of Martin’s traps, and was well caught by Mr. Mason. Mr. Shine bowled very well, a id seemed to stick the batsmen up time after time. In the Kent second innings Alec Hearne played with great confidence, although he got a very nasty knock in the ribs from Jack Heaine. Mr. Marchant was unfortunate in having a trimmer from J. T. Hearne soon after his arrival, and he bagged a brace. Pougher seemed difficult to play till Easby came in and made two splendid cuts, and brought the score to 52. A t this stage of the pame Mead came on and the end soon came. On Tuesday Mr. Shine soon secured two wickets, but with Mr. Peacock and Carpenter together, and both hitting, runs came very quickly, and a double change was tried in the bowling. The change seemed to suit Mr. Peacock, and the score was quickly taken to 72, when Carpenter made a very hard drive to the on and was brilliantly caught. Mr. Peacock did not stay much longer, and was bowled for a capital 38, which included some very clever cuts. Carlin and Dr. Thornton scored very steadily, and it looked as if the M.C.C. would win comfortably. When Alec Hearne came on to bowl things took quite another turn, and the game was at once full of excitement. Carlin and Mead were bowled, and Mr. Shine found a spot and began to bowl much faster. Dr. Thornton played in a most plucky way for his runs, but it was of no avail, for when J. T. Heame came in seven runs were yet wanting to win the match, and the issue was just in the balance when Mr. Shine touched H nraV s off sVimo with a fast bill, and Kent won an exciting match just before two o’ clock.

Notts won by six wickets. The attendance at this match was by no means as great as might have been expected from the popu­ larity of Sherwin and the Cambridge team, but it is to be hoped that the subscript ion list will be large. On a wicket which helped the bowlers, Cambridge played moderately good cricket, but Mr. Stogdon made the only approach to a big Fcore. The ’Varsity bowling was soon in a knot when Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury had settled down. Both played very pretty and attractive cricket, and both were out with the total at 138, which had taken only a little more than two hours to make. After this the bowlers began to get the upper hand, and it was not long before the innings came to an end. Mr. Bumup and Mr. W . G. Grace both played excellent cricket for the first wicket in the second innings, and after Mr. Stog­ don was out for 10 Mr. Druce was seen at his best. The tail did nothing, and Notts won without much difficulty. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings. F. Mitchell, b Hardstaff .. C.J.

Played at Southampton on June 8 and 9. Hampshire won by 76 runs. After their fine performances against Gloucester­ shire and Somersetshire, the Sussex men had a reasonably good chance of beating Hampshire, although they went to Southampton without Mr. Brann, Marlow, and Parris. But there were no longer hard wickets to bat upon, and when, after Hampshire had run up a fair score, the visitors went in, they did very badly. Barton played good cricket for Hamp­ shire, but the Sussex bowlers found no difficulty with the rest of the team. Tate hai a remarkably good analysis, but Soar did even better against Sussex. In their second innings Hampshire did still better than in the first, thanks to some fine play by Mr. Robson. D. A. Steele and Bacon, and 8ussex were left with 231 to make on a difficult wicket. They lost Mr. Murdoch and Bean at once, and K. S. Ranjitsinhji only made 13. Afterwards Mr. Newham played splendid cricket, and while he was in with Killick there was a chance that Sussex would win.
