Cricket 1896

A ug . 6, 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 339 THE AUSTRALIANS. THE WARWICKSHIRE MATCH. (TWENTY-FIFTH OF THE TOUli). Played at Birmingham on August 3 and 4. Australians won by an innings and 60 runs. Although the Warwickshire team has curled up several times this season, it had lately been doing so much better that there were hopes that the county would make a reasonably good show against the Australians-always provided that the captain could manage to win the toss. But he lost it. This was quite fatal to the prospects of his team, whose best chance was that, as against Derbyshire and Leicestershire, the Australians might make so many runs that there would be no time to finish the match. Unfortunately for these hopes the Australian innings closed at the end of the first day’s play, and most of the home team were either not class enough to cope with the bowling of the visitors, or were discouraged by the downfall of their comrades. The only batsmen who will be able to look back upon the match with any great pleasure were the captain and Diver (who played so well in the first innings for the second wicket that a big score was quite on the cards) A. C. 8. Glover, and Rev. E. Pereira. W. G. Quaife, however, despite his failure with the bat, was very successful with the ball. The Australians began their innings in great style, and only three wickets were down for 225, but the tail collapsed as com­ pletely as the Warwickshire men who followed them. Darling, Giffen, Trott, and Gregory each added another fine innings to their already long list. A u str a lia n s . F. A. Iredale, c Lilley, b Forester ..........24 J. Darling, b Quaife ..105 G.

Abel and Brockwell at once hit well, and it was not before 91 runs had been put on that Abel was out to a very clever catch by Brown, who took the ball almost on the ground from a very hard return. Baldwin again proved his value to his side by scoring 111 without a chance; he hit fourteen fours and seven threes. At first he began slowly, but when he became set he made a great many very pretty strokes, especially on the off. The vigour of Broekwell’s 81 reminded one of his batting a couple of years ago; one of his hits to square-leg among the crowd was a master stroke. Mr. Key and Lees knocked the worn out bowling all over the field, and both made some famous drives. The innings closed for 424. In the Notts second innings there was a decided improvement, and Shrewsbury looked as if he were set for a big score, but when he had made 36 he jumped out to drive one of Abel’s and missed it altogether. His cricket was wholly delightful to watch, and some of his cuts off Kichardson could not have been equalled by any other batsman. Mr. Oscroft unfortunately bruised his knee in hitting Richardson to leg, and for some time Guttridge had to run for him—he ran some very sharp runs, too, with Shrewsbury. At the close of play Notts were in a hopeless position with six wickets down for 123 ; but Daft and Pike held out for a long time on the next morning. N otts . First innings. A. O.

Surrey won by an innings and 115 runs. Before an enormous crowd, numbering about 28,000, Notts enjoyed the privilege of batting first on Bank Holiday; but partly owing to a little trickiness in the wicket, partly to some splendid bowling by Richardson, aud partly to lifeless batting, they could make very little headway. In fact, their first innings was something like that of the first innings of the Australians at Lord’s against England. The Surrey bowling was gteatly weakened by the absence of Lohmann, whose finger was still bad, but Abel managed to give a great deal of help to Richardson. Notts took two hours and five minutes in scoring 69. But for a slight stand by Mr. Wright and Mr. Oscroft, Notts would have been in a far worse position. At one time five wickets were down for 16 runs, three of which fell at the same total. It was soon seen that Surrey were not likely to fail in b Richardson ... c Wood, b Lees... 21 b Lees... HAMPSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Derby on August 3, 4 and 5. Derbyshire won by eight wickets. With almost their strongest team. Hampshire, although they won the toss, were by no meaus seen at their best in their first innings, but their opponents on the other hand played quite up to their reputation. Storer again just missed making a hundred, and Mr. Evershed only missed it by 19. Captain Wynyard gave a splendid exhibition of cricket in his second innings, but at the close of the second day, Hampshire were only 28 runs on, and had lost four of their best batsmen, including Mr. Ward, Captain Wynyard and Captain Quinton, and though Mr. Lacey played an innings worthy of his best days, he was not well supported by the tail. Derbyshire had no difficulty in winning. H am pshire . First innings. H. F. Ward, b Davidson ... 0 Barton, c and b Davidson 19 Capt. Wynyard, lbw, b Davidson ........................13 Capt.
