Cricket 1898

156 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 26, 1898. SUSSEX v. NOTTS. Played at B righton on M ay 23, 24 and 25. Drawn. In day8 gone by, the Notts matches at Brighton nearly always meant a large augmentation of the averages of Shrewsbury and Qunn, not to mention other batsmen in the Notts team, but of late years the Sussex bowlers have fairly held their own when the two counties have met. At the beginning of the match last Monday, there did not seem much prospect of big scores for either side, for the wicket bad by no means recovered from the heavy rains when Notts began to bat, while the weather was evidently still very unsettled. In the first day’s cricket the Sussex team were seen to all-round advantage. Despite the absence of Tate, the bowling was sufficiently good to dispose of Notts for a moderate score, and although the big guns did very little in batting, their want of success was com­ pensated for by the excellent innings of Mr. de Montezuma and Killick, and when stumps were drawn, Sussex had a lead of 61, with five wickets still in hand. The five wickets, however, were not the wickets of good batsmen. In bowling. Bland once more shewed how valuable he is to the Sussex team, and Cox also met with considerable success, so that the general effect was very satisfactory. In batting, Mr. Brann and Mr. Murdoch were both out just when they seamed likely to be dangerous, and Mr. Newham had not time to get settled. But when Killick and Mr. de Montezuma came together, the bowling was collared for some time, and in three- quarters-of-an-hour 70 runs were put on—unusually rapid scoring against ihe Notts’ bowling. At the end of the day, Mr. de Montezuma was not out 68. Killick had played an attractive innings of 40. The tail, as was feared, did very little on Tuesday morn­ ing, and Mr. de Montezuma was left to carry his bat for a splendid innings of 80, made in two hours and three-quarters. Owing to the breakdown of the tail, Notts only had to make 80 to get level. Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury kept together until lunch time, when the score was 58 for no wicket, but soon afterwards, Mr. Jones was out for a well-played 32. After this, the two most famous of the Notts batsmen began a long partnership, which reminded one of former davs. They did not score very fast, but there was a persistency and a certainty about their strokes, which was eminently discouraging to the bowlers, over whom the batsmen obtained a com­ plete mastery. They were not parted until the total had been increased by 241, when Gunn was out for 125, made in four hours and a half. After this it became a question of declaring. It was hardly safe to give Sussex a possible chance of making the runs, and the Notts captain kept on the right side. lie declared just after Shrewsbury had made his 150 by the very best of cricket. Sussex easily played out time, thanks to good cricket by Messrs. Murdoch, Newham and Montezuma. N otts . First innings. Second innings.

LANCASHIRE. Played at Derby on May 23, 24 and 25. Lancashire won by 65 runs. After heavy thunderstorms on Sunday, the wicket at Derbyshire was altogether in favour of the bowlers when the visitors went in on Monday, at about half­ past one. A good start was made by Ward and Baker, but the batsmen never obtained any mastery over the ball during the day, although Tyldesley and Cuttell, as well as the first pair, made over 20. Hulme was the most successful bowler for Derbyshire. Ihe innings of 137 lasted for more than three hours. With fifty minutes batting before them, Derbythire made a shockingly bad start, although they could not very well blame the difficult wicket for this; they lost Mr. Wright and Bagshaw for nine runs—both leg- before-wicket. Chatterton and Storer then played out time, and the total was 36 for two wickets when play ended for the day. On Tuesday morning, Briggs j>ndCuttell soon finished off the innings. Lancashire began fairly well when they batted a second time, with a lead of 61, but after Baker and Tyldesley were out so little was done that the innings closed for 110, Derbyshire beiDg then left to make 175—a task which seemed quite beyond their powers on the curious wicket. But they made a good fight. L ancashire . First innings. • Second innings. Baker, c and b Hulme.........20 b Hulme .........31 Ward, c Storer, b Davidson 39 b Davidson........ 6 Sugg, c L.
