James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1895

THE AVERAGES (FIRST -CLASS ) OF 1894 . 2 1 9 T H EB O W L E R S . With the wickets mostly in their favour the bowlers had a good time of it, and the figures altogether are decidedly above the average ; considerably better , as was only to be expected from the different conditions in the two cases , than those of the previous year . The professionals , of course , have the greater share of the honours . Mold was the only bowler to take over two hundred wickets , and his success at times was quite remarkable . Even then his record was hardly as good as that of Richardson . The latter got 196 wickets in all at a cost of less than ten and a half runs , and but for the injury which kept him out of several matches in the middle of the season , in the number of wickets he would have beaten Mold. Wainwright, Peel, Briggs , J. T. Hearne, Martin , Lockwood, Rawlin , and Walter Hearne also took over a hundred wickets . The most successful of the amateurs were Mr. F. S. Jackson, Hedley, andW o o d s. Mr. Bathurst made a remarkable debut in Middlesex cricket in August. One of the most if not the most noteworthy feature of the season was the appearance of Alfred Shaw, after seven years absence from first -class cricket . Unfortunately he was away from England during the later matches of Sussex . While he was in the Sussex eleven however, he showed himself to be quite as full of resource and variety as ever . In fact , his marked success was perhaps the bowling event of the season. B O W L I N G A V E R A G E S . Overs. Maidens. R u n s. W i c k e t s. Average .
