Matches
| Date | Match Title | Venue | Result | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 & 26 July (M-Tu) | London v Surrey | Artillery Ground | Surrey won by 50 runs | |
|
There would seem to have been a declaration here. Surrey batted first and scored 84 to which London replied with 89. Surrey batted until close of play when they were apparently 126-4. It seems that London batted when play restarted on Tuesday morning and scored 71. The source says: so that Surrey beat London by 50 notches and had six wickets to knock down. There are conflicting versions because the London Chronicle on Tues 26 July reported the close of play score on Monday as (Surrey) had three hands put out but had got 117 notches ahead. That would make the close of play score 122-3 so it seems they received a slightly premature report, as confirmed in another source. |

Famous quotes containing the word matches:
“No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
“That matches are made in heaven, may be, but my wife would have been just the wife for Peter the Great, or Peter Piper. How would she have set in order that huge littered empire of the one, and with indefatigable painstaking picked the peck of pickled peppers for the other.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
