James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1891

T H ECOUNTIESIN 1890. 1 1 9 ( 5) Y o r k s h i r ev. Australians. Bradford, June 23, 24, and 25 . A to n etime in the Australians' first innings, eight wickets were d o w nfor 76. ThenDr. Barrett found a useful partner in Ferris (not out, 48), and it was entirely owing to their efforts that the total reached 177. Dr. Barrett , who scored 107 in the match for once out, was seen to very great advantage each time. Forits first total of 171 , Yorkshire was wholly indebted to two batsmen - P e e l(64) and Hall (73). Peel's vigorous hitting formed an effective foil to Hall's steady tactics , and 119 had been put onwhenthe former was unfortu- nately runout. Afterwards , six wickets fell for 40 runs . In the visitors ' second innings, Turnermade53 out of 79 scored during his stay at the wickets . Rain interfered considerably with the third day's play, and it might have been ex- pected that Yorkshire would have all their workto obtain the 148 required to win. Lee(not out 67) and Lord Hawke (not out 31), however , got together on the fall of the second wicket , and, both playing fine , free cricket , hit off the runs withoutfurther loss . Yorkshirew o nb y eight wickets. Yorkshire, 171 and 148 (two wickets ) ; total , 319. Australians , 177 and 141 ; total , 318 . O v e r s. M a i d e n s. R u n s. W i c k e t s.

Fourof Yorkshire's regular team were away, in Lord Hawke, Ulyett , Peel, and Hall, and of course they made all the difference . Essex passed their opponents' first total of 74 for the loss of one wicket , and ultimately obtained 192 runs. Though some better batting was shown by Yorkshire next time (Wainwright45, Whitehead 25, Redfearn 24), Essex would have had only 23 runs to get had time permitted the gameto be finished . Thematch wasdrawn. Essex, 192. Yorkshire , 74 and 140; total , 214 . (7) Y o r k s h i r ev. W a r w i c k s h i r e . Birmingham, July 4 and 5. A sin the previous match with Warwickshire , a representative match took awayseveral prominent Yorkshire players , so that the result was another defeat . ThoughYorkshire led by 29 runs on the first innings , in the second only Tinsley (45), Hall, and Wainwright made any stay , and Warwickshire , put in to get 191 to win, actually got them for the loss of two wickets . This was thanks to Richards , whoplayed an extremely fine not-out innings of 93, and Law(58) . Warwickshire wonby eight wickets . Warwickshire , 159 and191 (two wickets ) ; total , 350.
