Cricket 1896

J uly 16, 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 291 GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS. T H E M ATCH A T L O R D ’ S. Played, on July 13, 14 and 15. Gentlemen won by 6 wickets. The Gentlemen’s Eleven did not include any of the men who took part in the University match, but it was decidedly strong, except that the bowlers were mostly of the same type. The Players’ team could hardly have been improved upon. It was just as well for the Gentlemen that they were able to bat first, for otherwise their weakness in bowling might have been discovered too early in the match to leave any interest in the result. As it was, they managed to get a good deal of devil in their bowling during the first innings of the Players, but it would have been better for them if the latter had made runs enough to save the follow on. For their bowlers, in the second innings of the Players, soon became tired when Abel and Hayward were set, and it is a little surprising that most of the rest of the team did not follow the example of the two Surrey men Abel made 94, the same total as was produced by his first innings for England against the Austra­ lians ; he played wonderfully good cricket. Hayward was content simply to keep up his wicket until he had made about 50, but when Hearne came in, and the end seemed close at hand, he began to play a very lively and attractive game. In this he was admirably seconded by Hearne, who showed once more pretty conclusively that if he had not been bom to be a great bowler he would have been a great bat. Until his arrival (so little had the majority of the Players helped Abel and Hayward) an easy victory for the Gentlemen seemed certain, but when the partnership was dissolved there was a great probability that the match would offer an interest­ ing finish. Hayward cairied his bat for a graceful and invaluable innings of 116. There was much interest­ ing batting in the course of the match, but in the first innings of the Gentlemen, good as it was, there was more slow play than is usually seen in these matches when the amateurs are batting. The Doctor, for once, did not come off, but K. S. Ranjitsinhji played a delightful innings, and Mr. MacLaren showed that, during his absence from first-class cricket, he has lost none of his skill. Mr. Stoddart was hardly seen at his best, and Mr. Jackson, who made top score of the innings, was in no hurry to make runs. The Gentle­ men had to make 222 to win, and in the course of a little batting before stumps were drawn on Tuesday, scored 31 for the loss of Mr. Stoddart. On Wednes­ day there was never any doubt that the Gentlemen would win, and some very fine batting was shewn by Dr. Grace, K . S. Ranjitsinhji, Mr. Jones and Mr. Jackson. G entlem en . First innings.

Yorkshire were only able to take a weak team to Leyton, for Mr. Jackson, Mr. Smith, and Brown were at Lord’s. Nevertheless, it was thought probable that, on account of the superiority of their bowling, they would beat Essex, who have not done very well this year. Throughout the match, the cricket was of the greatest interest, although, as a rule, the scoring was not large. Denton played well in both inniogs for Yorkshire, and several other men also did well, but the second innings was disappointing. For Esssx, Mr. McGahey, who has had a run of very bad luck, at last made a good score, and with Mr. Perrin, who played fine cricket, made the stand of the innings, just when the Yorkshiremen seemed to be getting much the best of it. Russell hit boldly for 60, and thanks to him, Essex had a lead of two on the first innings. In their second innings, they had to make 132. and thanks to some good cricket by Carpenter and Mr. Owen, they had made more than half the runs for four wickets when stumps were drawn on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday Mr. Owen was in great form, and he was well backed up by Russell, so that Essex scored a very creditable victory, for which they have to thank the Gentlemen v. Players’ match not a little. | Y o r k s h ir e . First innings. Second innings. Tunnicliffe, c Kortright, b Bull .................. ...........20 b Kortright ... 8 C. E.
