Cricket 1896

324 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 30, 1896 LEICESTERSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Leicester on July 27, 28 and 29. Leicestershire won by 21 runs. In the first innings of both sides, the bowlers had much the best of matters, and although Hampshire at one time seemed likely to have a strong lead, the tail did very little, and in the end their advantage was but 31. Captain Wynyard was unable to play for Hampshire, and his loss was, of course, greatly felt. Mr. de Trafford, Pougher and Knight played excellent cricket when Leicestershire went in again, and when stumps were drawn, Hampshire were left with the difficult task of making 209 runs. They made a splendid fight, and Captain Quinton, whose 58 was a fine innings, nearly pulled the match out of the fire. L eice ste r sh ir e . Second innings. First innings. C.

In the years gone by it used to be said, with some truth, that no matter how well Sussex might do in their first innings, they were almost certain to fail in the second. In the present year of grace they may win the toss or lose it, but in either case they seem bound to play a poor first innings, and then make a brilliant effort in their second, a.n effort which often comes too late. On Monday Middlesex were batting all day, and although nobody made a hundred there were several large scores, and the Sussex bowlers had a lively time. Mr. Warner was seen to advantage, and towards the end of the innings Sir T. C. O’Brien played excellent cricket. The first innings of Sussex was a failure, Marlow, K. S. Ranjitsinhji, Mr. Arlington, and Bean only making 11 between them. Ranjitsinhji and Bean did very little in the second innings, but Marlow and Arlington both did well, while Mr. Newham and Mr. Hartley made a very fine stand for the seventh wicket. At the end of the day, however, Sussex were only 2 runs on with three wickets to fall, and on the next morning they were easily beaten. Mr. Newham was in great form. M id d le se x . A. E.

Of late most of the Somerset batsmen have hardly played up to their reputation, but a change in the order of going in effected wonders. Mr. Woods and Mr. R. C. N. Palairet, who had failed for some time to do themselves justice, made a brilliant start, and the tail were in extremely good form, so that their county ended their first innings in a blaze of triumph. All the team, except two, made double figures, and all the Lancashire men, except four, did the same. When each side had played an innings Somerset had an advantage of 29, but they had not very greatly increased their lead when rain stopped play. The game was resumed and Lancashire did exceedingly well. S om erset . First innings. R. C. N. Palairet, b Mold 92 S. M. J. Woods, c Sugg, b Mold ............................... 59 H. T.
