Cricket 1897

F eb . 25, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 21 the amateurs. I should have liked to include all the matches playefl against the other first-class shires and against each other during the decade by the five promoted teams; but that would made my figures representative of nothing in particular except my own opinion. When, I wonder, will another county qualify for inclusion in the sacred upper circle ? Worcestershire seems the best of those outside; but that county is still some way below first-class form. It is noticeable that in this table there is a much bigger proportion of men whose biggest innings does not reach three figures—one of them, Mr. F. E. Lacey, coming as high as No. 9 on the list. He, however, made three figures for Hampshire on more than one occasion in earlier years, when the county was pretty generally reckoned as being first- class. Mr. L. C. Docker, too, made at least one century during his Derbyshire days. There are two two-hundred scorers included in the table—Capt. Wynyard and Mr. G. J. Mordaunt; and altogether 81 players who have once or more times during the decade reached three figures. T able H I.—BATTING AVERAGES (20, but less than 100 innings). No. of Not inns. outs. Runs.

There is less that is worthy of note about the shorter bowling table. Here the ’Varsity element is scarcely in such strong force ; we get down to No. 12 on the list before we find an Oxonian in the person of Mr. F. H. E. Cunliffe. There are Light Blue representatives in the 14th and loth places, an Oxonian at 16, another at 18, a Cantab at 19, an Oxonian at 20. Later on we come upon a little group of three Dark Blues—Wood, Bards- well and Bassett; and there are some half-dozen or so more ’Varsity represen­ tatives in the ruck—16 of 46, just over O. G.

Here is the list—I think it is complete ; it is all too lengthy, anyway, when one remembers that these were all men in life’s prime:—Percy McDonnell, M. P. Bowden, E. M.Hadow, W. D. Llewellyn, C. D.
