ONEsolitary win out of sixteen matches is hardly a record likely to give any great amountof encouragement to the supporters of a county, once able to hold its ownwith the best . Yetit can hardly be urged that the summaryis an un- fair representation of the merits of the eleven as an all -round side . O n the contrary, the cricket of the Sussex eleven in 1892 presented very few features of real interest . In batting the two amateurs , G. Brann and W. N e w h a m, were well in the front . Theformer's hitting was attended by great success through- out, and one performance alone , against Kent at Brighton , whenhe got ahun- dred in each innings , ranks high in cricket incidents , have only been previously recorded to one batsman, W. G. Grace. The captain , W . N ewham, was generally to be relied upon for runs , and a new amateur , W. G. Heasman, on the strength of an excellent first season , it is fair to predict , will be of service in the future . Marlowscored fairly well throughout , but there the successes ended. Beannever seemed to have got over the effects of his trip to Australia , and he was quite a shadow of the Beanof 1891. Otherwise , the batting was in now a y reliable andof the later batsmen, HumphreysandHide, perhaps the best , werenot upto their old form by any means. Norwas the out-cricket altogether of a very high order . The fielding at times was very smart , but the bowling lacked sting , although Tate and Humphreys were about the best .
