Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME 41, 8T. ANDREW’ S H ILL, LONDON, E.C . THURSDAY, JUNE IO tii , 1886. NOTICE. C ricket this week consists of 20pages, four pages in excess of the usual number. Monday being Bank Holiday, the Editor will be greatly obliged if all scores intended for next week's paper are sent in at earliest possible date. DaMIkm: (Unsstp. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, I t is rarely, indeed, that a cricketer who has got into the sixties in years is able to bring off the “ century,” and keep up his wicket for hours without giving a single chance. The veteran “ R. T.” has sent me particulars of a case of the kind of recent occurrence. Mr. John Francis, for Suffolk against the Incogniti, at Bury St. Ed­ munds last week, scored 101 not out, and by really excellent cricket. “ R. T.,” who was behind the sticks on this occasion, describes it as “ a feat a long way out of the common,” adding that his leg-hitting, driving, and cutting were particularly hard and well timed. It is satisfactory, too, says “ R. T.,” that the enthusiasm with which this performance was greeted, and the carrying shoulder high at the con­ clusion of the successful batsman was thoroughly well deserved. Mr. Francis, I may add, is fifty-one years of age. One of the most notable instances of fast scoring that has come under my notice as yet this year, was recorded in the Australasian newspaper of April 24. It occurred in a match between the Rich­ mond Club and the Incogniti, played on the ground of the former at Melbourne on April 15. “ Felix ” comments on the performance in the following strain :— Richmond went first to the wickets, and scored 343, of which J. Roberts, of the Gros- venor Club, made 204. He played a splendid game—free, fast, and faultless. Three fives and 33 fours are included in his score. In one over he made 21, and his first hundred runs were put together in less than an hour. Twice he hit the ball almost over the outer fence. Mr. Brock, the Hon. Sec. of the Richmond Club, describes the innings as the most bril­ liant ever seen on the Richmond ground. This is praise, indeed, when one considers the many brilliant innings played on the old ground in bygone days. The Incogniti lost 2 wickets for 219, to which Greenwood contributed 103, M'Culloch 85 (not out), and B. Boys 20, by thoroughly sound play in each case. Alto­ gether, no fewer than 562 runs were made from half-past twelve to half-past five, with usual interval for luncheon, and at termination of innings—that is to say, in about four hours’ actual batting. This is a pretty gooA record it will, I think, be admitted.
