Cricket 1898

A ug . 11, 1898. ORIOKET : A WEEKLY BEOORD OF THE GAME. 339 T H E C H E L T E N H A M W E E K . GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Cheltenham on August 8 and 9. Gloucestershire won by 27 runs. At Cheltenham, as elsewhere, the wicket had been greatly affected by rain when play began on Mon­ day, and by running up a score of 189, Gloucestershire did as well as could be expected. It was exceedingly fortunate for them that Mr. Jessop was able to give one of his few brilliant displays this season. Half the ■wickets were down for 62 when he began a partnership with Mr. Rice, but he did not play in his style of last year until the end of Ihe innings began to be perilously near. Not that he by any means played a barn-door game, but he was careful to choose the ball to hit. But when the end was approaching, and only three more wickets were in hand, he bogan to get about making runs in a very refreshing manner, and thanks to him the total was much larger than seemed likely at one time. Kent began veiy badly on the tricky wicket, but Mr. Burnup steadily kept up his end. Despite his efforts, six wickets were down for 75 when stumps were drawn, Mr. Burnup being not out 27. The remaining four wickets did not do much, and Gloucestershire had a lead of 83. The bowlers had the upper hand when Gloucestershire went in again, and Martin was in particularly good form, nobody being able to play him except Mr. Jessop and Mr. Sewell. Kent had to make 163 to win—when five Gloucestershire wickets were down, Kent were 15S runs behind. On the difficult wicket Mr. Townsend was supreme, and Kent collapsed, with the exception of Mr. Burnup who played splendid cricket. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. Second innings. W. G.

Greatly weakened by the absence of Mr. Jackson and Wainwright, the formeron account of his injured hand, and the latter from illness, Yorkshire were fortunate in winning the toss and batting on a wet, but not absolutely difficult wicket. The scoring was slow, only 230 runs being put on in the course of five hours’ cricket, which was all that was available. Tunnicliffe and Brown made a good beginning, and although there wai a temporary collapse after they were parted, Mr. Milligan soon stopped any rot which might have set in. Tunnicliffe played one of his very steady and very safe innings, being at the wickets for about three hours and a-half for e6, but it was an inniogs which meant a great deal to his side. Mr. Milligan played a first-class game, m iking fine hits every now and then, but taking no risks; his innings of 74 was one of the best which he has ever played. Lord Hawke and Rhodes made useful scores, the latter being not out when stumpswere drawn, with the to‘ al at 230 for seven wickets. When play was resumed on Tuesday, the last wicket put on 34 runs, and in the end Rhodes carried his bat for an excellent 59. J. Gunn bowled remarkably well, but Attewell, strange to say, was not a success at all. There is no room for doubt that in going in against a sore of 277, Notts were in a very unenviable position, for the vicket was showiDg signs of becoming difficult. Nevertheless, Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury made a good start, the former doing nearly all the s oring. After he was out there was a startling collapse. W. Gunn was promptly bowled by Rhodes, and Mr. Dixon and Attewell could make no stay at the wickets, and the innings came to an abrupt end for only 90. Shrews­ bury alone managed to hold his own against the Yorkshire bowlers. In the follow-on Notts did much better, Gunn and Shrewsbury playing very pretty cricket. No play was possible on Wednesday owing to rain. Y o r k s h ir e . Tunnicliffe, c W ., b J. Gunn .. Brown, c Guttridge, b J. Gunn .................25 Denton,c and b J.Gunn 1 Hirst, b J.

Played at Edgbaston on August 8, 9 and 10. Drawn. It was unfortunate that these two counties had to meet under unpleasant circumstances as to weather and wickets for they have both given an excellent account of themselves during the season, and although Essex seemed to have the best chance of winning, some of the Warwickshire team are in such good form that there is no telling what may happen. It was a good thing for the home team to win the toss, and on a by no means easy wicket they ran up a fair total, thanks to splendid innings by the two Quaifes, who each made over 50 by the steadiest of cricket. Essex had tw<nty-flve minutes’ batting, and in that time lost Carpenter. It was anticipated that the cricket on Tuesday would be full of sur­ prises a'ld on a very difficult wicket Es*ex could m%ke little headway against the bowling of Santall, who was in fine form. The only batsman who played up to his reputation was Mr. Perrin, who car ied his bat nearly through the innings for a very \aluable 36. Warwickshire had a useful lead of 80, and although for a time things went badly with them in the second innings, they afterwards gave a good account of themselves. W. G. Quaife, Mr. Byrne, and Lilley playing particularly well. Rain interrupted p’ay considerably on Wednesday, and Essex had a hard task before them, for Warwickshire were able to declare, leaving the Southern team to make 270. There was no possible chance of making the runs, but it was quite possible that there might be a collapse. W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.

Played at Lord’s on August 8, 9 and 10. Middlesex won by 136 runs. In weather whicb ^ as anything but pieswant, and on a wicket which had been more or less affected by heavy rains, Middle* ex managed to kfpp at the wickets during the •imo nviil*h!e for play on Monday —three hours and forty minutes.. On the whole, they had reason to congratulate themselves on making 241 for the loss of seven wickets, f r it was long odda that Surrey would have all their work cut out to
