English Cricket.
— _ -♦_ » The Sussex Eleven have done a thing recently to which probably there <di) no parallel in first-class cricket says Today, haying, in two matches,- compelled a side to go into the field in the last innings to make a single run. This they did against Surrey at the Oval aud against Gloucestershire at Bristol. There can3Be very few instances in imporjjanfc cricket of a team having to go oWfb make only one run to win, and it is a distinct coincidence that such an occurrence should have taken place twice within a few weeks, and that on each occasion Sussex should have been on the losing side. In connection with the game at the Oval, the finish was not without its humorous side. It is well known that the man who gets the ball at the conclusion of a big game takes it into his possession, and apparently Brann and Murdoch entered into a deep-laid plan so that tbe Sussex captain should have the ball. Brann bowled an outrageous wide, which went straight to Murdoch at short slip, and the latter, who seemed delighted at the success of his scheme, pocketed the ball, and the match was over.
