Cricket 1898

134 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 19, 1898. YORKSHIRE v. M.C.C. AND GROUND. Played at Lord's on May 12, 13 and 14. Yorkshire won by 99 runs. Despite the inclemency of the weather, Lord’s did not wear a deserted appearance on the first day of this’ match, which speaks volumes for the enthusiasm of the cricket loving public. It was distinctly a bowlers’ match, and very few batsmen did anything that was at all remarkable, although Brown, AVainwright, Storer, and the Hon. J. Tufton will be able to look back with pleasure upon their performances. The opening of the match was somewhat remarkable, for Tunni- clitfe, who can hit as hard as anyone now playing, adopted a style of the most barndoor- lik >character, while Brown on the otherhand made runs while the wicket kept its freshness. With the score at 51 for no wicket rain came down. When play was resumed a wicket fell after another run had been scored, Brown being bowled by Hearne for no less than 46 out of the 52. Meanwhile Tunnicliffe kept steadily on until he had been at the wicket for sixty-five minutes, when he was out for 9, a very useful though tedious innings. After this the inevitable J. T. Hearne disposed of one batsman after another, Hirst alone giving him much trouble. Under ordinary circum­ stances it would have been child’s play for the M.C.C. to pass a total of 118, but when they went in a heavy storm came down, with the total at 13 for two wickets. The game was resumed a little before the time for drawing stumps, with disastrous results to the bats­ men, for another wicket fell without any addition to the score. W.G. was not out 0. On the next morning some good batting by the Doctor and Storer madematters look much brighter, and towards the end of the innings the Hon. J. S. Tufton made 33 in three- quarters of an hour and carried his bat. Thus, despite the bad start, the M.C.C. had a lead of 17. In the Yorkshire second innings the bowlers again seemed likely to carry every­ thing before them, but some remarkably good batting by Wainwright at the time when it was most wanted put a very different appear­ ance on the game. At the end of the innings Lord Hawke made one of his very useful scores, and Yorkshire were able to put in the M.C.C. to get 169. This was a task which, by the time that stumps were drawn, seemed almost certain to he too severe, for W .G., Alec Heatne, Trott and C. W . Wright, four of the soundest batsmen in the team, had been disposed of for 45. On Saturday some fine bowling by Mr. Jackson and Rhodes, a colt of whom much is hoped, soon brought about the end, and there was a decided collapse in the batting. The bowlers who distinguished tliem=elves during the match were Heame, Trott, Wainwright, Rhodes and Mr. Jackson, although Trott hardly came up to the expec­ tations which have been formed of him.

LANCASHIRE. Played at Southampton on May 12, 13 and 14. Drawn. The Hampshire team has reason to he en­ tirely satisfied with the result of this match, for while Lancashire is a difficult county to tackle under any circumstances, it is particu­ larly formidable on a bowler’s wicket. On the first day’s play there was nothing to point to the probable success of either side, for although Hampshire had scored 62 runs for only three wickets against a total of 1*53 by Lancashire, it was evident that the remaining 91 runs would take a lot of getting. The day’s cricket was chiefly noticeable for the brilliant batting of Captain Wynyard, who, taking the bull by the horns at the very first opportunity, did not relax his hold until stumps were drawn, when he was safe for the morrow with 41 runs to his credit. Except for his innings, and a lively 49 by Cuttell and a steady 28 by Ward, there was nothing of much interest in the day’s batting, but in bowling most of the Hampshire men were successful. On the next day there was very little cricket, and Lancashire had a fine chance of seeing how Hampshire looked in water colours. Before lunch Hampshire were all out for 132. Captain Wynyard only increased his score by 6, and nobody else made any stand against Mold except Mr. A. J. L. Hill, who carried his bat for 40, made by the determined cricket for which he is so well known. With a lead of 21, Lancashire put on 7 without the loss of a wicket before lunch. Then the rain came down. The game was resumed on Saturday afternoon, when there was very little chance of finishing the game. On a sodden wicket, and with a wet ball, the Hampshire bowlers did as well as could have been expected. Ward played another good innings, Tyldesley made some fine hits in his 43, and Mr. Tindall and Mold put on runs quickly. There was never any chance of finishing the match, and it was not worth while to declare the innings closed. L ancashire . First innings.
