Cricket 1896

JuiiY 23 , 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S07 HAMPSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Leyton on July 20 and 21. Hamp­ shire won by 8 wickets. There was something wrong with the Leyton wicket, and for the most part the bowlers had matters very much in their favour. Captain ‘Wynyard was out to a very fast ball from Mr. Kortright, which came back six or seven inches. Essex made a good beginning, but did so badly afterwards that their opponents had no difficulty in winning. In the Essex second innings eight wickets were at one time down for 45. E sse x .

It will be remem­ bered that at the Oval Surrey received a severe defeat, and it goes without saying that both teams were very anxious as to the result of the return. Surrey won the toss—a great piece of good fortune, which they did not spoil by poor batting, although at one period of the innings it looked as if their score would be only moderate. Abel, Brockwell and Holland made a fine beginning, but then there came a series of disappointments, until Mr. Read and Mr. Key were together. The stand made by the two veterans was very useful, and afterwards Lohmann, who seems to have lost his bowling for a time, while he can make runs easily, shewed the most attractive cricket of the match. Thanks to the stand at the end of the innings the total was 300 ; so that Middle­ sex were not m an enviable position, for. with Richardson at his best, their chances of making a large score were not great. It u>ed to be said that the wicket at Lord’s did not suit Richardson, but his performances against the Australians and against Middlesex! would seem to shew that he has dis­ covered how to make use of the slope. The absence of Mr. Hayman and Dr. Thornton militated very much against the success of Middlesex, and as Mr. MacGregor was hit on the hand by Lockwood and was unable to continue his not out innings of 21, the county was on the whole very severely handi­ capped. iBut such things are the fortune of war, though they are none the less unpleasant. There was not as much life in the Middlesex batting as usual, but Sir T. C. O’Brien and Hearae made some beautiful hits, and Rawlin played a very steady and useful innings. It was most unfortunate that Mr. MacGregor was unable to resume his innings in the morning, for he had shewn masterly defence against the Surrey bowling. Middlesex had to follow on. For the second time during the match Mr. Stoddart and Mr. Webbe were out for a very small score, and nobody could keep up his wicket except Rawlin, who carried his bat for a sound innings of 21. It was an interesting feature of the match that both Mr. Stoddart and Abel met with great success in bowling. Abel bowled right through the Middlesex innings; it must be a long time since he has accom­ plished such a feat. S u rrey .

Played at Trent Bridge on July 20, 21 and 22. Notts won by nine wickets. The first innings of Gloucestershire was only re­ markable for the good batting of the two Graces, of whom the elder representative of the family was out at a time which was of the utmost importance to the home team, for he seemed comfortably set for a long innings. W . G., Junior, saved the sidefrom disaster, and after a long series of mishaps Murch put on some runs at the end of the innings. Although Gunn for once failed to make any runs, Shrewsbury and Mr. Jones were in fine form, more particularly the former, who played a really beautiful innings of 125. The rest of the team did very little, but..nevertheless, Notts had the very useful lead on the first innings of 109. Gloucestershire began very well indeed in their second innings, but after W . G. and ‘Wrathall were dismissed the batting completely broke down. Attewell’s bowling analysis speaks for itself. G lou cestersh ire . First innings. W. G.
