Cricket 1899

124 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. M ay 11, 1899. were drawn, the former to a magnificent catch in the long field by Hayward. But, as the gentleman who once wrote a song said, “ Oh, what a difference in the morning ! ” A little rain had made the grass wet, without hurting the wicket, and the bowlers were handicapped by a wet ball. Hill and Gre­ gory, the two not-outs, soon became comfort­ ably settled, and all sorts of things might have happened if W.G. had not been lucky enough to get Hill leg before wicket for 39— made with all his old skill. The hitter of the team now came in and gave a few samples of his prowess, but he was at last finely caught in the long field by Brockwell with the total at 149 for four wickets. Atter luncheon the bowlers were hopelessly out of it, for Gregory and Noble by splendid cricket gained the upper hand, and piled on ten after ten until there seemed no end to what might be done by them. Both men showed a complete command over the bowling, and except that Gregory gave a few chances when nearing his hundred, there was no fault to be found with the batting of either. Gregory eventually succumbed to the prevailing epidemic—he was out l.b.w. His innings of 154 was put together in ten minutes less than three hours. The partnership had produced 141 runs. When stumps were drawn, Noble was still going strong with 105 to his credit, while the total was 357 for eight wickets. Yesterday the innings was soon brought to an end. The only question of interest at this period of the game was whether the English­ men would collapse in the second innings, and so give the Australians the chance of winning their first match. But although it cannot be said that the batting as a whole was very satisfactory to the national pride, W .G . and Ranjitsinhji played such fine cricket in part­ nership that a draw became a certainty. W . G. had the pleasure of sampling the new bowlers, and of holding his own against them. S o u th o f E n g l First innings. C. R.

The batting of Diver, the old Surrey player, was the feature of this match. W ith­ out his score of 184 the Warwickshire bat­ ting would have seemed feeble indeed, for only one other man, Mr. Fishwick, made over ‘20. Diver was batting for 2 hours and 35 minutes, and his score include I twenty-eight 4’s. His batting was of the hardest, and he was complete master of the situation. In partnership with Mr. Fishwick he put on 111 for the second wicket. The Leicestershire batting, without being very remarkable, was pretty level, the only innings on Monday which stood out prominently being the 51 not out by Rougher, who was at the wickets for an hour and 25 minutes. When stumps were drawn Leicestershire with six wickets down were still 136 runs behind. There was no play on Tuesday owing to rain. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First innings. Quaife (W . G.), b Agar ...
