Cricket 1898

200 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. June 16, 1898. ESSEX v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Leyton on June 9, 10 and 11. Essex won by an innings and 31 runs. That Essex in its present f'»rm is stronger than Warwickshire is, perhaps, hardly opanto doubt, hut in the match at Leyton circumstances were so greatly in ,th*;ir favour that they wou’d most likely have won if they had teen much weaker. It was a match in which winning the toss went far towards winning the match, for the wicket, affected by rain, deteriorated considerably. At the end of the first day’s cricket Essex had placed themselves in a very comfortable position, for with a strong probability that the wicket would become more difficult, they had made 307 runs for the loss of nine wickets. The stand of 140 made for the first wicket by Mr. Owen and Carpenter had much to do with the success of the rest of the side. Mr. Owen’s innings of 71 was particularly good, while Carpenter was as safe as possible. Another excellent innings was the 62 of Mr. A. P. Lucas, whose years do not seemtomake any impression on him. Although there was only one ticket to fall on Friday the inn­ ings was by no means over, for Mr. Bull and Mead, on a wet wicket, made one of the stands at the eDd which aie quite common in the Essex team. No p’ay could take place until half-past one owing to rain. There was no sun. but the wicket became difficult while Warwickshire were batting, and, despite good cricket t y Diver and W . G. Quaife, they had to follow on in a minority of 232 runs. As they lost two wickets for 59 before stumps were drawn, th“ir chances of getting out of the match with much credit were very small. They did much better on Satuday, thanks to good innings by Lilley, Mr. Bainbridge. W. G. Quaif-i and Santall; but Mr. Kortright was in great form, and the innings defeat could not be saved. E ssex .

In this match few of the Sussex team showed to any advantage, and on the afternoon of Saturday the county was two or three times within measurable distance of defeat. Indeed, it seemed almost certain that the unexpected victory snatched by Somerset over Sussex on the previous Wednesday would be re­ peated. What advantage there may have been in winning the toss was not utilised by Sussex, who, except for the first three men, collapsed in a remark­ able manner. While Mr. Brann, Marlow, and Mr. Murdoch were at the wickets there was nothing to show that the bowling was of more than ordinary difficulty, but it seemed to be of surpassing excellence when the rest of the team were trying to play it. Kent made such an excellent start that when stumps were drawn they were within about 50 of the Sussex total without having lost a wicket. Owing to rain on Friday morning the game could not Ve resumed until past four o’clock, when on a pretty easy wicket the two not outs, Mr. Mason and Alec Hearne, proceeded to add r.pidly to tleir score. 'Jhe first wicket did not fall uutil the total was 13r, of whi<;h Mr. Mason claimed no less than 81 by the best of cricket. Alec Heirne was still ratting when the shoit day’s play ended, and as Mr. Bannonplayed a verylively innings for 5), and Mr. Le Fleming also batted well for v4, the Sussex total was pa^sel by 101. On Siturday moraing, Hearne reached his hundred and Easby quickly rin up 50, and with the total a' 351 the Kent captain declared I is inning-*, leaving Sussex about five hours to pi ty with a leeway of 500 runs to make up The only object in life for the Sussex men was now to m «ke a draw, and whether they made a lot of runs or a few mattered little as long asthey kept their wickets up. Under such circumstance j the cricket was not excitiog. Marlow did his share towirds the de»ired end by Keeping inwith Mr. Brann for an hour and twenty minutes, and after Mr. Fry and Mr. Murdoch had been quickly disposed of, Mr. Newham came in to make another stand with Mr. Brann of about an hour. Another hour was passed in a part­ nership by Mr. Montezuma and Mr. Brann, but after this affairs began to take a d-cided turn in favour of Kent. Mr. Brann was at last out l.b.w. for an inn­ ings of 85, which was invaluable to his side, for it lasted for four hours and a quarter. The collapse of the tail was so decided that when half an hour still remained for play Sussex had only two wickets to fall and were only one run on. Fortunately for their county Parris and Tate were not as the rest of the tail, and they kept together long enough to slave off defeat. S ussex . Fiist innings.

S U R R E Y v. C AM B R ID G E U N IV E R S IT Y . Played at Cambridge on June 9, 10 and 11. Surrey won by 102 runs. On a wicket which was at no time at all easy, 8urrey had very little the best of the match until Cambridge went in a second time to score 188 runs. The University then altogether failed to make any headway, with the single exception of Mr. Burnup, who bats as well on rIow wickets as on hard ones. The chief features of the match were the bowling of Smith and the batting of Mr. Burnup, Baldwin, Mr. Key and Richardson. Mr. Key’s innings ( f 48 not out was played at a time when Surrey seemed likely to get another beating; he was greatly aided by Richardson, who, going in earlier than usual, rose to the occasion in a noble manner, bmith bowled re­ markably well in both innings, and his success may possibly encourage him to repeat such good per­ formances :— S urrey .
