John and James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Companion 1882

93 men, who were without their best bat, Mr. L . C. Docker, offered a very feeble resistance to the bowling of Barlow , Watson, and Nash. In the first innings of Derbyshire, Barlow accomplished an extraordinary bowling performance, his analysis being 10 overs and a ball, 9 maidens, 3 runs and (> wickets! In the second innings, he took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Nash, in the whole match, took Gwickets for 27 runs, and Watson 4 for 44 runs. 1st Inns. 2nd Inns . Tota l.

Smith batted in tine form for 41. Thanks to th«e admirable batting of Emmett (76) and Hall (40), the Yorkshiremen headed their opponents by 12 runs on the first innings. At their second attempt, the Derbyshire batsmen could do little with the bowling of Bates and Peate, and were dismissed for 80. Bates took Gwickets for 37 runs, and Peate 3 for 40. Yorkshire obtained the recpiired G9 runs for the loss of only three wickets, E. Lockwood playing capital cricket for 4G (not out). August 15.— Brighton.— Derbyshire v.

Matches played, 8—won 2, lost 5, drawn 1. Except for the admirable average o f Mr. L . C. Docker, the figures o f the Derbyshire batsmen come out rather worse than in 1880. Mr. R. P. Smith has risen from 16.13 to 17.5, but Foster has fallen from 21.9 to 17.1, and Mr. Shuker from 22.3 to 17.5. It will be seen that only five batsmen average double figures, lligley has gone down from 16.13 to 6.1. Mr. G. B . Barrington, who showed some promise in the previous year, did little or nothing. In bowling, Mycroft and Platts had to do the greater part o f the work, and both were much more expensive than in 1880. Mr. H. Evans’s figures arc exceedingly good. Hay showed a great falling-off from his form o f past seasons, and was left out of two matches. His average of runs per wicket is 26.8 as against 15.14 in the previous year. BATTING AVERAGES. L. C.
