Cricket 1896

348 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 13, 1896. T H E A U S T R A L I A N S . THE CANTERBURY WEEK. THE KENT MATCH. (TWENTY-SIXTH OF TOUR). Played on August 6, 7 and 8. Australians won by 176 runs. For some little time Kent have been so fortunate in winning the toss that they have done remarkably well, and there were hopes that their captain would be able to add to his list of successes when he was opposed to the redoubtable Australian. 13ut once more Trott proved his great superiority to English captains in the matter of gaining the choice of inning*. The wicket was not quite perfect, and the Australians hardly did as well as expected, although from the way in which the ball was acting it was pretty clear that they had made quite enough runs to win easily. No­ body made ahundred, which is somewhat unusual, but Darling, Hill, Gregory, and Donnan were seen attheir best. The mostattiactive batting of theday was shown by Jones, who in his 40 made some splendid hits in a very short time. Kent had to bat for a few minutes at the end of the day and lost a valuable wicket, F. Marchant being caught at point in the last over. On Friday most of the Kent batsmen did not distinguish themselves, but C. J. Burnup played a remarkable innings; he is not afraid of bowling until he has proved conclusively that is too good for him, and therefore he was able to do his best against the Aus­ tralians. His 101 is the third hundred made against our visitors this year. Kent saved the follow on, though they would have had a possible chance of winning if they had managed not to save it by a few runs, for the wicket did not improve, and the team which batted last was bound to have an uncomfort­ able time of it. The Australians did none too well in their second innings, but Trott, Iredale, and Gregory played good cricket. Kent had to make 318, and had no chance of success whatever. They did well to run up ascoreof 141, W.H.Patterson, whohad playedfinely in the first innings, being the highest scorer. It was unfortunate for Kent that Marchant, Rashleigh, Mason, and one or two others were unable to make any runs to speak of in either innings. A u str a lia n s , First innings. F.

As in the Hampshire match, something was wrong with the Leyton wicket, for after playing fairly well on the first day it crumbled so badly that batsmen had not the ghost of a chance of doing anything brilliant, unless they hit and were lucky enough to come off. For all that, it was a great performance on the part of Essex to make over 300 against the Surrey bowling, even though it was very much weakened by the absence of Lohmann. The tail did verv little, for, although the bowlers were tired, the wicket had began to shew signs of wear, which was ominous of disaster on the morrow. Almost all the scoring was done by three men—Russell, Mr. Owen, and Mr. Fane—who'quite mastered the bowling. Russell made his first hundred in first-class cricket, and was deservedly rewarded for his brilliant batting by a present of over £21, which was collected on the ground. Of the Surrey battiDg there is nothing to say, except that Hayward in the fiist inniD gs and Brockwell in the second played about as good cricket as one could wish to see, and that Mr. Bull and Mead had excellent analyses.

Played at Leicester on August 6, 7 and 8. Drawn. As in the match against Kent, the Lancashire captain lost the toss, and also had to see his opponents make a very large score. Indeed at one time there was a possibility that all existing records would be beaten, for Mr. De Trafford played a wonderful innings of 113 before lunch, and afterwards Knight and Pougher were in together for so long that at one time the scoring board showed 276 for two wickets, and at the end of the day 331 for four. Pougher and Knight each just failed to reach the hundred, and as the remainder of the team did not do much, the total was not as large as had seemed probable. Neverthe­ less, it was practically certain that Leicestershire could not now be beaten, although in the end they had none the best of the draw. Lancashire managed to get within 14 of their opponents’ score, but only two of the team, Sugg and Ward, did anything of great importance. The two professionals were, how­ ever. in great form, and each made over a hundred. Leicestershire had rather a bad time in their second innings. L eicestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. C.
