Cricket 1896

306 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 23, 1896. T h a t left-arm o f Arthur Appleby, which proved so effective for Lancashire in the later seventies, has evidently not lost its ancient cunning. Playing for the Northern Nomads agiinst Pock- lington Grammar School yesterday week, he had a hand in the dismissal of all ten wickets, taking nine wickets from his bowling and catching the tenth. His analysis showed 12 overs and 2 balls (seven maidens), for eight runs and nine wickets. “ On the loth inst at Harrow, Queens­ land, the wife of M. P. Ramsay, of a son.” This announcement in the Daily News of Tuesday shows that the Ramsays are thoroughly mindful of the School-on- the Hill, which gave them their early training in serious cricket. T he President and Committee of the Marylebone Club have issued invitations to a dinner at Lord’s to-morrow evening to meet the Australian team. P. H. M o r t o n , whose successes as a fast bowler for Cambridge in the early eighties will still be vividly remembered by most Cricket readers, is coming South again, after a location of several years in the North. As he has taken Seaitliffe, Englefield Green, for scholastic purposes, his connection with Surrey will be resumed. ------- G. O. S m ith , the hero of the Inter- University match, is presently to join A. T. B. Dunn in school work at Ludgrove, Barnet. So rumour has it, at all events. G. O., who made his first appearance for Surrey at Lord’s, on Monday, will have the opportunity of sampling Kent’s bowling at Catford Bridge to-day. U p to Wednesday the Australians had scored fifteen individual hundreds, while only one (that by K. S. Ranjitsinhji) had been made against them. T he great success of Lilley as a bowler in the Warwickshire v. Derbyshire match has been followed by the equally great success of Mr. Stoddart and Abel in Surrey v. Middlesex. Lilley took six wickets for 46, Mr. Stoddart five for 73, and Abel six for 46. It is a matter for surprise that Mr. Stoddart and Abel are not more frequently successful with the ball. Walter Sugg, another batsman, also bowled well against the Australians. S in c e their match against the M.C.C., when they lost the toss, the Australians have played ten matches, in eight of which they have won the toss. Their last five first innings have produced 462 (against Hampshire, when they lost the toss), 454, 584, 412, and 625. This is a wonderful record. E v e n in these days of high scoring the achievement of the 60th Rifles in their match against I Zingari on Monday and Tuesday of last week, may be classed as “ one of the best.” I Zingari, who had a good side, including Lord George Scott and E. H. Buckland, both of Oxford fame, batted first and scored 437, of which Scott contributed 105 and Buck­ land 86. T he 60th, who on the first night had lost one wicket for 50, on the next day ran up the big score of 619 for nine wickets. Of these, Blundell was respon­ sible for 178, Capt. Majendie 113, and Prince Christian Victor 105. The total when the Jast pair came together was 338, and as Majendie left at 540, the partnership for the sixth wicket realised 202. As the Prince’s 105 was made without a chance, it is certain that his work in Ashanti has not done his cricket any harm. Altogether 1,056 runs were scored for twenty wickets. Three hundreds in an innings is a record for the 60th, and a good performance under any circumstances. R. G. B a r lo w , the old Lancashire professional, can still “ stonewall ” with the best of them in club cricket. Last Saturday, in a Central Lancashire League match against Walsden, he went through the innings for Royton, scoring 50 of a total of 119. This is the fifty-fifth time, it may be added, he has carried his bat through in all kinds of matches. In addition he took four wickets for 20 runs. It will be very interesting to Sussex cricketers to see that Shrewsbury is again in splendid form. The Notts v. Sussex match begins at Brighton on July 30. ANSWERS TO CORKESPONDENTS.

M a lvern .— The M.C.C. brought down a strong team against us on Wednesday and Thursday last week. Hearne and Burnup opened for them. Buinup was dismissed with the second ball. Benton left with ‘28, and almost immediately afterwards Fullerlove followed with 27. Thornton came in next and kept in till the last wicket fell for 66, nobody staying with him any length of time. Their total was 209. Our first wicket fell for next to nothing, but White and Day made a long stand which lasted out the first day’s play, each making 43. On resum­ ing next morning, Day got out to a bumping ball from Wrathall for 52; White made 60 before he left. Of the others, Johnston (37) Wright (38), brought our total to 234. Nothing could prevent a draw. They went in and hit a good deal; their total, for eight wickets, being 217 when stumps were drawn. Bumup (71), Ht-arne (36), Benton (65), and Board (28), being the chief scorers. Lyon’s beat Toppin’s, and Swann’s Spear’s in the House matches. E. W. Wyatt has received his colours. WEEKS. S trk atiiam .— During the cricket week, which ended on July 11th, 3,097 runs were scored for 93 wickets. There were 10 centuries, six for Streatham and four by opponents. R. H. D. Montmorency’s scores are worthy of special notice :— July P.—176 v. Oxford University Authentics. >i 7.—Ill v. Incogniti. „ 8.-182 v. H. M. Leaf’s XI. „ 9 .- 31 v. M.C.C. „ 10.—0 v.

C., who brought down Martin, Pickett and Russell; the latter made 115, not out. On Saturday the week ended with a match against Old Malvernians in which Mortimer scored 116, not out, and Mont­ morency175. The band of Scots Guards played during the afternoon and on the evening the grounds were illuminated, and there was a display of fireworks by C. T. Brock and Co. The band of the Scots Guards played a selection of music during the evening. HONOR OAK v. LEYTON.—Played at Honor Oak on July 18. L eyto n . A. Law, c Burton, b Dickason.................12 W .
