James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1894

1 1 6 LILLYW H I T E ' SC R I C K E T E R S' A N N U A L. t (6) Somersetshirev. Surrey. Taunton, August17 a n d18. Owing to a sunstroke Mr. Hewett, the Somersetshire captain , was unable to play, and in his absence the eleven were not seen to anything like the usual advantage . Surrey , indeed , at the outset were favoured with a good deal of luck in the field , or they would not have reached such a total as 251. O nthe other hand, excepting Mr. Woods, who hit freely each time for 38 and 47, the Somerset- shire batting not only lacked its customary dash , but was generally disappointing . Still , as Lockwood broke downafter bowling seventeen overs , the total was byno means a bad performance for Surrey to get such a batting side as Somersetshire out twice for an aggregate of 274. Woodcaught four batsmen at the wicket in Somersetshire's second innings . Surrey wonby eight wickets . Surrey , 251 and 24(two wickets ) ; total , 277. Somerset , 140 and 134; total , 274. (7) Somersetshirev. Australians. Taunton, July 20, 21, and 22. Heavyrain not only delayed a start until late on the first afternoon , but pre- vented any play on the second day. Still , though there was practically little morethan one day's cricket it was sufficient to complete the match. The wicket , underthe circumstances, was naturally all in favour of the bowlers, andaltogether only 368 runs were scored for 34 wickets . George Giffen , of the Australian team, w a s, indeed, the only batsmanto shewto any real advantage, and his 40 a n d36 far exceededany other figures in the match.
