Cricket 1896

260 CRICKET: A WEEKLY HECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 2 , 1896. GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SOMERSET. At Taunton on June 29 and 30. Gloucester­ shire won by an innings and 83 runs. This year the success of Gloucestershire seems more than ever to depend on W . G .; if he comes off and makes a lot of runs Gloucestershire makes a good fight—perhaps even gains a victory ; if he fails, the county is badly beaten. In several matches this year he has done remarkably well, but he has to score at least about a hundred in an innings if the county is to make anyihing of a show. In the Somersetshire match he pretty nearly succeeded in reaching the two hundred by the best of cricket, and as he was greatly helped by Mr. Townsend and Board, the total of his side was very large. Board’s innings was character­ istic o f himself, and was therefore remarkable for brilliant hits. Eight of the eleven made 56 runs between them. After losing Mr. Trask over night for five, Somersetshire collapsed in a surprising manner on the next day, but there is nothing wonderful in this, for apart from the fact that some rain had made the wicket more difficult, it happened that Mr. Lionel Palairet and Mr. W oods made only eleven runs each ; it is as important to Somersetshire that these two fine players should make runs, as it is to Gloucestershire that Mr. Grace should score largely. The bowling honours belong to the Doctor and Roberts, who was put on as first change. In the follow on, the two Mr. Palairets and Smith batted so well that there were hopes of saving the innings, but the rest of the team did veiy little. G lou cestersh ire . W . G. Grace, c R. C.

Derbyshire won by an innings and 147 runs. So badly have Leicestershire dune this season on the whole, that it was long odds against their making a good fight again st Derbyshire, who just at pres* nt are in splendid form. There was nothing in the Derbyshire innings worth notice, until Bagshaw and Chatierton came together. Then when these two men had taken the feting out of the bowling, Storer onme in and made things very lively. For the third innings in succession he made a hundred by vigorous and excellent cricket, and for the second time in suc­ cession he carried his bat. While Pougher and Tomlin were partners there was a possibility that Leicestershire would make a good score, but after their dismissal very little was done, and a follow-on was necessary. The bitting was again very disap­ pointing, but Mr. Lorrimer played good cricket. D erbysh ire . Storer, not out ...........142 G. A.

A curious exhibition of batting was given by the Warwickshire team in their first innings. While Mr. Bainbridge, whose rate of scoring had decidedly fallen off recently, and Walter Quaife were together, there was nothing in the wicket or the bowling to lend any hopes to Essex that they would get an innings before the s-econd day, but after Mr. Bain­ bridge was out for 27, which had be»n made in hn hour and a quarter, a series of disasters befell Warwickshire. Mr. Bull was remarkably successful with the ball, and while he could do nothing with Quaife, nobody eke could do anything with him There was not a double figure made by any of the last nine men. Quaife only just failed to make his hundred. What the Warwickshire innings would have been like if he had got out at once cannot be imagined ; as it was the total was not altogether bad. In the two houis that remained for play, Essex did exceedingly well. Carpenter, whose fine innings at Lord’s, against Cambridge, seems to have put him on his legs again, was seen at his best for 80, and though Mr. Owen failed, Mr. Perrin shewed go<d form in scoring 41. Three wickets only were down when stumps were drawn, with the total only ‘/8 runs behind that of Warwickshire. On Tuesday morning the rain slightly affected the wicket, and the r o t o f the team did but little, except Russell and Mr. Bull. The Warwickshire batting broke down in the second innings, Diver alone making a good score. W ar vicksh ire . First innings. H .W .
