James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1876

98 was tlie highest scorer in their innings of 49, this too in •tine weather and on a good wicket. Notts though, only fared a little better, as they were disposed of for 87, Shrewsbury (29) and Daft (13) contributing chietiy to this aggregate. The second venture of Yorkshire was a singular contrast to the first, as this time all nine batsmen got to double figures, and the result was a very respectable show of 183, Mr. H. Sims being the first with 31. That Daft should have put in his best wickets with a bad light just before the close of the second day must be deemed an error of judgment, and the result was that W ild , Selby, and Shrewsbury, three of the best batsmen in the Eleven, were all dismissed before time was called for three runs. Next day Barnes and Daft tried to stem the tide, the former making ‘21, the latter 1*2. Five wickets were down for 47 when Rowbotliam bethought him of Arinitage’ s lobs. It was a happy notion, for Notts rushed out madly to meet the slows, and Finder had the distinction of stumping four of the remaining batsmen. Armitage was accredited with the marvellous perform­ ance of getting five wickets in a county match in the course of seventeen balls for only eight runs. Yorkshire won by 87 runs. Yorkshire, 49 and 183 ; total *232. Notts, 87 and 58 ; total, 145. The bowling of A lfred Shaw for Notts, and Clayton for Yorkshire merits reproduction. Overs. Maidens. Runs. W ickets.
