Cricket 1897

304 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 22, 1897. SURREY v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Southampton on July 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. It is not an uncommon thing for the Surrey men to make an example of Hampshire, but in this match they very nearly had the tables turned on them. When they won the toss and yet only made 157 runs they seemed to have done about as badly as there was any necessity for. but the rain was of more use to them than to Hampshire. But for good play by the tail in the first innings they would have been in a very awkward position, for Mr. Heseltine played havoc with the wickets of some of the best batsmen, while Mr. fcteele boiled uncommonly well. At the close of the day Hampshire had lime to make 5 runs without losing a wicket. On Tuesday, Richardson, greatly helped by the wicket, was in fine form, and one after another the Hampshire batsmen went out lor insignificant scores. Captain Quinton alone suc­ ceeded in playing a long innings ; his 44 was worthy of very high praise indeed. After the first innings on each side was over Surrey had a lead of 69—a lead which proved to be of inestimable value. For when they went in again they surprised themselves, and the rest of the cricket world. Mr. Heseltine and Mr. Steele were irresistible. For a matter of 32 runs they got rid of eight Surrey men, and if Mr. Jephson had been included among them the whole team might have been out for about 40. But, as in the Middlesex match at the Oval, Mr. Jephson stubbornly kept up his wicket, and, being aided by Kichardson and Mar­ shall, he succeeded in making the score look quite respectable. As a result of the runs put on for the last two wickets Hampshire had to make 146, which on an ordinary wicket would not have given them much trouble. For a time they seemed more than likely to knock off the runs and thanks to good batting by Captain Wynyard they brought their score to 74 for three wickets. But then Hill was bowled by Lees, who proceaded to get four more wickets in no time, so that the fortunes of the game turned completely round in favour of Surrey. Lees finished up his afternoon’s work by doing the hat- trick, his victims being Captain Quinton, Mr. Steele, and Mr. Heseltine. At close of play Hampshire had only made an additional five runs, and had only two more wickets to fall; so that the game seemed practi­ cally over. But on the next day the Clerk of the Weather came to the assistance of Hampshire in the most noble manner, and it was found absolutely im- posfcible to play any cricket at all. S u r r e y .

The beginning of this match wasnot very promising for it was at once seen that fast bowling would kick considerably, and Somerset soon lost two wickets to Mr. King, who, however, when it was found that his bowling was dangerous, was taken off by the captain. After Somerset had made 78for two wickets rain came down and stoppe 1 play for the day. On Tuesday, rain again interrupted play, but Somersetshire managed to complete their innings for 200. the only good score being 66 by Mr. R. C. N. Palairet. The Philadelphians had about a couble of hours’ batting on a more or less wet wicket, and before stumps were drawn, scored 107 for the loss of Mr. Wood, who had made an excellent 57. Mr. Patterson, who has completely recovered his form, was not out 48. Very little play was possible on Wednesday, but the Phila­ delphians ha 1 enough time to place themselves in a very satisfactory position before the game was abandoned. S o m e r s e t s h ir e . L.

On Monday Gloucester­ shire, on a wicket which, although no rain had fallen for some time, helped the bowlers, were all disposed of for a small score, while Warwickshire, on an improving pitch, did much better, only losing two wickets for 104. During the night and the morning a lot of rain fell, but although Warwickshire batted on a wet wicket they did not do as well as had been expected. Nevertheless. W. Quaife, who was not out 53 overnight, increased his score to 101 after batting very steadily for four hours. With a leeway of 70 to make up, Gloucestershire lost W. G., Mr. Cham­ pain, and. Mr. Richardson for very few runs, but Wrathall played well, and when Mr. Jessop came in the appearance of the game was soon altered. As usual he did not hesitate to hit, and as it was one of his lucky days, runs came with great rapidity. In an hour and 35 minutes he put together 126, an innings which completely changed the fortunes of his county. When stumps were drawn the total was 225 for six wickets, so that Warwickshire seemed almost certain to experience another defeat, as the wicket was not likely to be good on the following day. But the Gloucestershire tail did not do much, except Mr. Hemingway, and Warwickshire being put in to make 218 played up so well, that after an exciting finish, they won the match. For this they have chiefly to thank Mr. Bainbridge, who batted very finely for 101. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. W. G. Grace, c Byrne, b Cresswell ........................ 3 A.G.
