Cricket 1898

340 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 11 1898. make anything like the total. The chief attraction of the day’s play was the fine stand made by Mr. Warner and Mr. Stoddart for the second wicket. The wicket was soft, but as there was no sun it did not help the bowlers as much as might have betn expected, although it was always difficult to make runs. Mr. Stoddart played a great game in quite his style of years ago, making some brilliant hits in his 62. Mr. Warner also played a great game, despite the fact that he was not always able to make it appear that he knew all about the bowling ; he did his fair share of the scoring. During the partnership, 124 runs were put on in equal proportions. Later in the day, Mr. R. N. Douglas and Mr. Wells put on runs rapidly while they were together. It is to be noted that Lockwood did not take a wicket all day, but as he was too ill to bowl on Wednesday, it is easy to account for this. On Tuesday, the wicket be­ came more difficult as time went on, and the Surrey men were at a disadvantage, tut they did very much better than was anticipated. The remaining three Middlesex wickets put on 52 runs, and in so doing worthily upheld the reputation of the tail. When Surrey went in they met with immediate disaster, for Abel was bowled for nothing by Hearne in the first over. Lockwood, Brockwell and Holland all made double figures, but it was obvious that runs were very difficult to make. For a time it looked as if Surrey would very likely have to follow-on, but Hayward and Mr. Jephson played a determined and stubborn game, and the tail played up manfully, and it began to te a question whether the Middlesex score would not be exceeded. Iu the end, however, Middlesex led by 75, and before play ended had in­ creased this to 114 without loss On Wednes lay the fates fought for Middlesex. Showers kept the wicket easy for them, aud Mr. Douglas and Mr. fcitoddart played brilliantly, Surrey had to bat on a most difficult wicket, and although Abel played a wonder­ fully good innings, a defeat was almost inevitable.

Played at Brighton on August 8, 9 and 10. Sussex won by 134 runs. As usual, Hampshire put a weak team in the field, and lost the tohs—as usual with weak teams when it is important to \»in it. Very heavy rain had fallen on the day before the match, and as more rain fell during the morning, play was de'ayed until nearly half-pist one o’clock. Even then, what with more rain and bad light, it was only possible to play cricket for about two hours and a-half. During that time Sussex lost four wickets for 131, and may be considered to have done verywell. The innings of the day was the 81not out of Mr. Fry,who is at the present time in as good form as any man in England, and on his merits would certainly be chosen for an England XI. if a match were on hand. Oa Tuesday morning he incieased his score to within a run of his hundred, when he was unfortunate enough to be bowled. He had been batting for two hours and forty-five minutes, and had played wonderfully good cricket. Mr. Newham, who returned to the team after a long absence, was not in luck’s way; but Mr. Fisher, one of the recruits, played an excellent innings. Baldwin met with great success with the ball. The Hampshire men, for the most part, could dQvtry little with Tate, but Barton and Mr. Studd kept up their wicke's at a very critical time. In the end Sussex had a le id of 90.on the first innirgs. The Sussex second innings was only remarkable for the brilliant play of Mr Fry, who on Tuesday evening had made no less than 1 8 out of a total of 139. On Wednesday he increased his score by 25. Hampshire had a very uphill task, and did not prove equal to it, although Mr. Barrett played very fine cricket. Sussex thus won their first match this season. S u s s e x . First innings. W . L.
