Cricket 1896

A u g . 27, 1896. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 381 SUSSEX y. YORKSHIRE. Played at Brighton on August 20, 21, and 22. Drawn. The Sussex eleven has again accomplished a great performance, thanks this time, as so often before, to K. S. Ranjitsinhji. After Yorkshire played an innings of 407, Sussex vrent in on a wicket •whichwas in favour of the bowlers, and had to follow on with­ out much hope of being able to save the match. And yet when stumps were drawn on Saturday thfy were 41 runs on with eight wickets to fall. This is, perhaps, the best thing that Sussex has done this year, although several times they have astonished the cricket world. Most of the Yorkshiremen had a perfect wicket to bat on, and made the best use of their good fortune. Mr. Jackson played a particu­ larly tine innings of 102, though he ought to have been caught in the long-field when his score was 15. Tunnicliffe, who did not score at the rate for which he was once famous, only missed his hundred by one; his innings was made by the most patient cricket, and whereas Mr. Jackson made his runs in a little less than two hours, Tunnicliffe took twice as lorig to make his 99. At the close of the first day York­ shire had made 313 for five wickets; Peel, not out 43, and Moorhouse, not out 20. Very little play took place on the Friday, but Peel was able to score his hundred after batting for three hours. The rest of the team did hardly anything, but the total was 407. Sussex made a shockingly bad start, and when rain stopped play for the day at half past one the total was only 23 for the loss of Mr. Fry and Killick. Thus the outlook for the morrow was very poor indeed, more particularly as the rain was heavy. But wonderfully good batting byRanjitsinhji in both innings, by Mr. Newhamin the first inniDgs, andMr. Fry, Killick and Marlow in thesecond, broughtabout that Sussex actuallyhad a decided advantage when the match ended.

SOMERSET. Played at Taunton on August 20, 21, and 22. Drawn. An hour or two before the conclusion of this match there seemed no reasonable doubt that Kent would win very easily in an innings, but a remarkable stand by Mr. Wood and Nicholls for the ninth wicket saved Somerset from defeat. The feature of the match was the partnership between Lord Harris and Mr. W. H. Patterson, who came together with the score at 58 for three wickets and were not parted until it was 220. Lord Harris, who was missed before he had scored, played surprisingly well for a man who has played in so little first-class cricket for many years, and it was a fortunate day for Kent when he consented to help the county again. Mr. Patterson’s 181 was one of the soundest innings he has ever played. It cannot be said that the rest of the Kent team (with the ex­ ception of Mr. Stewart, who made a good 83) dis­ tinguished themselves, but the tail had to bat on a wicket greatly affected by rain, and suffered accord­ ingly, as did the Somerset team in the first innings. Someiset had to follow on, with the wicket rapidly improving. A fair start was made, but five wickets were down for 190 and eight for 232, notwithstanding that Mr. R. C. N. Palairet (99) and Captain Hedley (59) had made a splendid effort to save the game. When Nicholls joined Mr. Woods Somerset were in a desperately bad plight, but they kept up theirwickets until the total had been increased by 108, and Kent were left to make 62 after all. This would of course have been an easy task if there had been time ; but only 20minutes remained for play, and though Mr. Burnup and Mr. Mason made a great effort, they could only score 36 in the time. The 98 made by Mr. Woods is one of his finest innings this year. K en t . J. R. Mason, run out 14 C.J. Burnup, b Hedley 4 F. Marchant, c New­ ton, b Tyler ............ 28 W . H.

As in their match against Yorkshire, Middlesex made such an excellent start, that a very long score seemed probable, but the tail again did very little. Mr. Stoddart, for the second time during the week, made over 90. Mr. Douglas was very slow at first, only scoring a single run in the first half hour, but his partner always played brilliant cricket. When Mr. Douglas once began to get to work, the Notts bowling was very soon collared. Of the rest of the Middlesex team, only Bawlin, Mr. Ford and Mr. Wells made runs ; Mr. Ford’s 34 was put together in 25 minutes. Notts began well, and although Shrews­ bury was out for 9, nearly everybody else played a useful innings. Mr. Jones was at his best, Mr. Wright and Pike scored quickly, and Mr. Oscroft and Daft made very valuable additions to the score. Very little play was possible on Friday, but when stumps were drawn, Notts, by scoring *158 for 2 wickets, had saved themselves from defeat. On Saturday, they increased their total to 360, thus having a lead of 77 on the first innings. There was no time to finish the match, but Middlesex did none too well in their second innings. Mr. Stoddart and Rawlin were, however, again in good form. M id d le se x . First innings. J. Douglas, c Pike, b Jones C9 A. E. Stoddart, b Attewell 93 Hearne (J.
