Wostinholm , 10 , Norfolk Row, Sheffield . Thesummaryof Yorkshire cricket in 1880 was not so good as in 1879, and certainly not so favourable as might have been expected. The double defeat by Derbyshire in 1879, was fully atoned for by two decisive victories last year, and the win over Notts at Sheffield gave Yorkshire a distinction that no other county could claim. Still there was the same inconsistency manifested that markedthe play of the eleven in the previous year, and the records , while showing five victories , include four defeats . Ulyett , Bates, Lockwood, and Emmettall batted well , though the first -namedwas hardly as successful as usual, but the batting on the whole was not so reliable as it should have been, and of the colts only Grimshaw, whoought to be an acquisition to the eleven , came out at all above the average . Peate and Bates , helped occasionally by the ground, bowledeffectively , especially the former, as did Emmettmore than once. Hill , many think very unwisely, was left out of the eleven in several matches, but on his return he showedthat he had lost none of his pace or accuracy . Aspinall , a colt , was tried as wicket -keeper a few times in place of Pinder, but he didnotc o m eup to expectations. All round the cricket in 1880 w a sa little inconsistent , and certainly not of the quality usually associated with a county such as Yorkshire .
