James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1885

8 6 LILLYWHITE'SCRICKETERS' A N N U A L. eleven , and his 57 (not out) was really a good display of batting . Sugg hit finely in the first innings of the County , and he scored 52 out of 90 from the bat. In the second , though , no one but Mr. Docker (34 not out) offered any resistance to the bowling of Spofforth and Giffen , and the result was never in doubt . Spofforth's bowling contributed in no small degree to the easy win of the Australians , who had 40 runs and an innings in hand at the finish . Australians , 273.

WEAKNESSin bowling is still the chief cause of the ill -success of the Glouces- tershire eleven , as it was in 1883. In the early part of the season the full strength of the county was never placed in the field , and considerable allow- ancemusttherefore be madefor the succession of defeats . In August, when the eleven was thoroughly representative , they proved themselves to be an exceptionally strong batting side , and some of their performances were quite
