Cricket 1897

A ug . 19, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 369 DERBYSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Derby on August 16, 17, aud 18. Drawn. The first match between these two teams was of particular interest, because both sides were fighting eagerly to win their first match in the county com­ petition ; the return was just as interesting because there was a chance that the result would be reversed, and the sides remain with a victory each. Leicester­ shire was the fortunate side in the first match, and at the end of the first day’s play they seemed likely to repeat their success, inasmuch as they had scored 150 for five wickets against a completed innings of 148 by their opponents. The small scoring was due to the heavy rain which had fallen in the district before the match. Four of the Derbyshire men, Walter Sugg, who, when he does not get run, out generally makes runs now, Storer, Mr. Wright and Mr. Evershed, all made useful scores, but the tail collapsed in a startling manner, the last four men not putting on a single run between them. As there were two more duck’s eggs on the side—including those of Bagshaw and Chatter­ ton—the Derbyshire captain must indeed have felt that fate was fighting against him. Geeson bowled with great success. Knight, 67 not out, was the principal scorer for Leicestershire, but Pougher also played well for 20, and Mr. Joyce was 20 not out. On Tuesday Knight only added 16 to his score, but Mr. Joyce brought his total up to 51, and with Geeson made a long and valuable stand. Geeson’s score was 41, and for a change Derbyshire gave a lot of extras. Leicestershire had a lead of 126, but this was wiped out for the loss of three wickets. When the next wicket fell the total had amounted to 187. Mr. Wright played splendid cricket for 82. On Wednes­ day Bagshaw played so finely and was so well backed up by Storer that the Derbyshire captain was able to declare. But fortune was once more against his team and Leicestershire managed to make a draw. D e r b y s h ir e . First innings. L. G. Wright, b Geeson ... 26 S. H.

When each side had played an innings, Gloucester­ shire had a slight lead, which was however knocked off without the loss of a wicket by Warwickshire, so that the sides practically began the second innings on level terms. There was plenty of good batting in the first innings of either team, and some good bowling by Mr. Jessop and Lord. The hoaours in batting fell to Mr. Rice, who made the first hundred of his career. Board, Lilley and Santall. Warwickshire did fairly well in the second innings, but rain fell, and the match was abandoned. W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings. Quaife (W .

MIDDLESEX. Played at Bramall Lane on August 16, 17 and 18. Drawn. On a good wicket Yorkshire did remarkably well, thanks to a brilliant innings of 101 by Mr. Jackson, his second hundred of the season, and excellent cricket by Tunnicliffe, Wainwright-, Denton and Peel, who, to the delight of everybody, was making his first reap­ pearance after a lon^ illness. Against a total of 366, Middlesex began exceedingly well. Mr. Warner and Mr. Hayman, scoring freely, put on 50 in forty minutes, and another 50 in the next half hour, but off the next ball after the hundred went up, Mr. Hayman was bowled by Wainwright. Mr. Warner soon followed him, after which there was such a succession of small scores that a follow on seemed pro­ bable. Mr. Webbe and Mr. Lucas, however, played such good cricket, thit all chance of this seemed to have departed, but after Mr. Webbe lefo no one could stay with Mr. Lucas, and it soon became very doubtful whether Yorkshire would have to adopt tho much discussed system of giving away a few extras if they wanted to go in again themselves. But Middlesex quietly just saved the follow. In their second innings Yorkshire did well enough to be able to declare, leaving Middlesex to make 302 in three hours and a quarter. They had no chance of doing this, but Mr. Douglas and Rawlin played such splen­ did cricket, that not only was defeat averted, but the draw was very satisfactory. Y o r k s h ir e . First innings.
