STODDART’S TEA.M v. REST OF ENGLAND . Played at Hastings on September 5 , 6 , & 7. Mr. Stoddart’s Team won by 5 wickets. Although by this time most people had forgotten who were the members of Mr. Stoddart’s Team which went to Australia last autumn, it was a pleasure to see eleven of them in the field. It is true that there was no great importance in the match, for engagements have to be made so long in advance for the Week that there was not much likelihood that the best England team would be available. Moreover, the great batsman of Mr. Stoddart’s team was away in India, and had not been able to keep his promise to return to England in time for the match. On their present form there are several of Mr. Stoddart’ s team who would hardly have been chosen if the visit was to be paid to Australia this year, while from the England team there were absentees who are worth a place in any eleven. Nevertheless, the sides were strong. Lilley, Brown, Mr. Pry, and Lockwood had all been selected for the England team, but they were none of them able to appear. This let in Mr. Ford, who gave one of his most delightful exhibitions of batting. The Rest of England went in first on a wicket which proved to be difficult until after luncheon. The result was disastrous for a time, but Dr. Grace played a very fine innings, and with Mr. Townsend stopped a collapse. Mr. Jessop did not hit as ba,rd as he did last year, but was not long in making 32. While Mr. Ford and Mr. Kortright were together, both in a hitting mood and feeling no particular responsibility, they made hay of the bow ling in a style which delighted the spectators, putting on 83 runs in thirty-five minutes. A total of 236 was not very large, but Mr. Stoddart’s team only just exceeded it. Mr. MacLaren, who has hardly been himself this year, was in his very best form, and by most attractive cricket put up 51 in an hour. When stumps were drawn the touring team was in a very happy position, having made 88 for the loss of three wickets only. On Tuesday Hayward played good cricket, and Wainwright showed excellent form in making his fine score of 75. The Rest of England, with the exception of Mr. Jessop, Shrewsbury, and Butt, gave but a poor exhibition of cricket in the second innings. Mr. Ford was, however, going very strong when he was severely hurt by a ball from Richardson, and had to retire. This probably made a vast difference to the result. Mr. Jessop, discarding for the moment his style of 1898, took up his style of last year, and aroused the spectators to enthusiasm. He hit all the bowling with the utmost coolness, and made a hundred in an hour. He was not out 76 on Tuesday evening. The failure of most of the rest of the team, however, meant that the touring team had a pretty easy task in the second inning#. But what a pity it was that Mr. Ford and Mr. Jessop did not get going in partnership ! B est op E ngland . Firstinnings. Secondinnings.
