Cricket 1899

l i e CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME M a t 11, 1899 M.C.C. AND GROUND v. SUSSEX. Played at Lord’s on May 3 and 4. M.C.C. and Ground won by five wickets. ( Continuedfrom page 109.) With a slight advantage Sussex continued their second innings on Thursday last, hut in an hour and a-half they were all out, Hearne and Trott proving very difficult. At one time it looked as if their score would not reach more than about 70, for eight wickets were down for 67. The M.C.C. had to make 131 runs, and from the way in which the innings was opened Sussex seemed likely to make a very good fight of it. Three of the best men were out when the total was 19—Mr. deTraf- ford, Mr. Burnup, and Alec Hearne—and the batting of most of the rest of the team could not be regarded as strong on paper. But there was still Trott left. With Mr. Foley as a partner, he hit in such a brilliant manner that he had scored 50 when he had only been in for twenty minutes. The total was carried to 101 when Trott was at last out. His in­ nings of 69 included no fewer than fourteen 4’s ; it had lasted for only forty minutes. By this time vic'ory was practically assured for the Club, but before it was gained two more wickets had fallen. Tate bowled admirably. S u ssex . First innings. O.B. Fry. c and b Trott ... 98 G.

Played at Oxford on May 4, 5 and 6. Drawn. That there are plenty of good batsmen to be found among ihe Freshmen is not open to doubt, but where the fresh blood is to come from among the bowlers still remains to be seen. W . F. Rattigan and W . S. Medlicott put on 123 runs in partnership in the first innings of Mr. Champain’s sid?, while in the second innings all the men who batted did well. C. H. B. Marsham and R. A.

It was but a weak eleven which Derbyshire was able to put in the field, and the loss of Davidson was very severely felt, more espe­ cially in bowling. Business has been respon­ sible for the retirement of Mr. Evershed, so that the team was much less powerful than that of last year. For a brief period fortune smiled upon the northern county, for, al­ though the toss was not won, the bowlers were happy enough to dispose of Abel and Holland for six runs between them. From this point, however, the fates were against Derbyshire. Ti e score was carried from 37 to 162 before the next wicket fell, Brockwell and Lockwood taking complete charge of the bowling and playing masterly cricket. Brock­ well was the first to go. He had made 102— the first hundred of the season in first-class cricket—in an hour and three-quarters with­ out showing any sign of weak points. None of the Derbyshire men can have been sur­ prised when they saw most of the remainder of the Surrey team score largely, for with the bowling mastered, the many fine batsmen in the team were almost ceitain to bring about a large total. Lockwood played perfect cricket for his 77 ; Haywaid and Mr. Jeph- son were in excellent form, and Mr. Richard­ son, by a good innings of 45 not out,>howed that his tine cricket in the first match of the season was anything but a fluke. There was not much hope that DerLy -hire, with a total of 375 to face, would be able to make a fight of it, but they began fairly well by scoring 65 for the loss of two wickets before stumps were drawn. Mr. L. G. Wright played particularly well for 34, and was still not out, but Chatterton, after seeming almost certain to play out time, was bowled for 26. It was an uphill struggle for Derbyshire on Friday, but they gave an exhibition of cricket of which any team might be proud. It is true that they had to follow on, and that their batting on Friday in the first innings was disappointing, and would have been even worse than disappointing if it had not been for a remarkable innings by Storer. The Derbyshire wicketkeeper, with his companions going down around him like ninepins, made nothing of the bowling, hitting Lockwood and everyone else who was opposed to him with freedom. His 77 not out was a very pretty innings. In the follow-on he again played very fine cricket, and as several other members of the team rose to the occasion, the cricket of the afternoon was well worth seeing. Mr. Wright was in his best form, and played a very correct innings of 60, while Chatterton, Bagshaw, Hancock, and Mr. Delacombe all deserved well of their county. But the leeway which had to be made up was too great, and all that could be done was to prolong the match into the third day, and to put Surrey in again. When stumps were drawn Surrey, with 49 runs to make, had put up 18 without the loss of a wicket, the captain not having altered the usual order of going in. On Saturday morning the runs were soon knocked off by the two famous Surrey batsmen. Although Surrey won the easiest of victories, the bowling was not quite good enough on the whole to make Surrey men over confident of success during the coming season. S u rrey . V. F. S.
