Cricket 1897

M a y 20, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 151 SURREY v. WARWICKSHIRE. SCORE OF 250 BY ABEL. Played at the Oval on May 13, 14 and 15. Surrey won by an innings and 228 runs. The first day’s play showed pretty clearly that Surrey had a good thing on. Like Gloucestershire in their match against Yorkshire, the Midland county did not make the best of the advantage of batting first on a splendid wicket, and the failure to do this wasquite fatal to their hopes of making agood fight. It was not that none of the team showed any form, but they merely did not, any of them, really settle down to play, and the bowlers always held the mastery. It was a great misfortune for Warwick­ shireto lose Mr. Bainbridge and W. G. Quaife for only six runs. When Surrey went in the secondball of the innings settledBrockwell, andtherethesuccess ot Warwickshire may be said to have ended. For the rest of the day Abel knocked the bowling about with ease, while Hayward nearly played out time with him. The total when stumps weie drawn was 28 more than that of Warwickshire, and only two wickets had fallen. The p'.ay of Friday need not be describedin detail. Warwickshire were fielding all day with the exception of a few minutes, and the Surrey men were, most of them, making hay while they had the chance. Abel showedthe samemastery over thebowling as on the previous day. Without hurrying he made runs fast enough to avoid monotony, and it was amercy for Warwickshire that hedid not go on until the end of the chapter. There was practically no fault to be found with hisinnings of 250. Mr. Leveson-Gower increased his reputation by making a fine 81; Mr. Chinnery played another excellent innings; and Mr. Key batted with the vigour of astrong man of twenty-five. In the course of his innings, which produced a total of 110not out, he hit seven fours in succession. When the lastman, Wood, came to the wickets the Surrey captain bad only just passed his fifty, and it was a very great achievement to make his hundredundersuchcircum­ stances—but he did not let the gra?s grow under his feet. There was nothing left for Warwickshire but to attempt to play out time, in other words to keep in all the Saturday. They made a bold effort, and the game dragged very considerably, but at a little past four the last man was dit-posed of. It' the rest of the teamhad batted half aswell as the first three, Mr. Bainbridge and the two Quaifes, a draw might after all have beenmade. W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings. Secondinnings. H.

Although individual scores of thirty and forty were fairly plentiful in this match, there was nothing very striking in 1he batting of the Freshmen except that C. E. Wright made 100and G. II. Rowe 95 not out. But the stubborn resistance offeiedbyE. B. Carter to the bowling enabled Mr. Fardswell, who was playing as captain of one of the sides, to give the two teams a valuable object lessonin the art of m a k iD g runs quickly. In the course of the match 962 runs weremade—not a large total against weak bowling. M r . F. E. C u n lif f e ’ s S id e . C. H. Fisher, c Henley, b Billings.................19 H. R.
