Cricket 1899

188 &RICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 8, TH E TONBR IDGE WEEK . SUSSEX y. KENT. Played at Tonbridge on June 5, 6 and 7. Sussex won by 112 runs. W ith the prospect of a lovely day for cricket before tl em, it was but natural that spectators should arrive in large numbers to see the Sussex men. No doubt the Kent team felt a little in awe of their opponents, for had not Sussex already, even at ihis time of the year, accomplished the unprecedented feat o f winning two matches in the championship I It wa», however,some consolation to find that thehome team had won the to s. They began badly enough, for Mr. Mason, who has teen out of form during ihe seas >n, was run out at once. A ltc Hearne batted prettily for 23, and then came the stand of ihe day. Mr. Burnup and Mr, Patterson mastering the bowling, and putting on 143 runs while they were together in two hours and tin minutes. Both men went at about the S'!me time. Both had played very attractive cricket after beginning slowly. After this the batting broke down a little, but the rot was stiyed by Mr. Weigall and Martin, and in the end the total was highly respectable. Sussex had a trying forty mum* es batting, losing Mr. Biann and Mr. Collins for 36. Very cisappointing was their play, as a whole, on Tuesday morning, but Ranji’sinjhi showed very taking cricket while he was in, and Mr. Newham, who has come back to the team, showed that he has not forgotten how to make runs. But a follow on was necessary. Again a bad start was made, for Mr Brann only made 1. but Mr. Fry and Ranjitsirhji thfn got together and collared the bowling. Tee Kent men had begun to resign themselves to wh »t seemed the inevitable, when, to their delight, Ranjit­ sinhji was out at 115, the partnership having pro­ duced 107 runs. Mr. Fry batted splendidly and nearly made a hundred, and at the close of play Sus­ sex were 68 runs on, with six wickets in hand—not by any means a hopeless position. Yesterday morn­ ing Mr. Newham gave a fine example of correct and graceful cricket, and everyone was glad to see him in such excellent form again. Mr. Bradley bowled very finely. Kent had to make 227 in about, three hours, but they collapsed before the bowling of Bland. K e n t , First innings. J. R.

ESSEX. Played at Sheffield on June 5, 6, and 7. Essex won by nine wickets. Visitors to the Bramall Lane grour.d on Monday did not bee the Yorkshiremen io advantage. Their bowling was found to be wanting in ihe Middlesex match, and now, when it was opposrd to Essex batMnen, it was clear that it would be e«sily played on a good wicket. Rhodes was fairly collared by A. S. Turner and P. Perrin, who seemed quite at home with everything that was seiit up to them, 'lhe catch by which Owen was dismissed was brilliant, Hunter taking the tall low down oh the leg side. Then came a stand by McGahey and Turner, who put on 97 for the second wicket. McGahey batted well, showing plenty of confidence when he had got his eye in, but scoring slowly. W ith two wickets for 124 i.ssex was doing well, and before the said partnership was broken they had done splendidly, i urn^r and Perrin, when once settled, took complete <h»rge of the tow ing, and just before the f. rmer was cu t the total was bl7 for two wickets—a lively prospect for the Yorkshirem'n. hut after Tu»rer went for a beau iful lt'9 made iu two hourB and fifty minutes, a litt’e relief came, two more wickets falling before 8 umps were diawn, with the total 338 (Perrin not out 136). There was a surprising collapse of the tail on 1uesday morning, and the absence of Russell fn m a lr o k tn finger was severely felt, as he often manages to stop a rot. Pen in’s innings of 144, which lasted for about five hours and a ha’f, was almost without a mistake, but at times Lis battiig w«ts tedious to watch Ali hough Yorkshire had to go in against a total of 368 there seemed no reason whatever why they should not make quite as many runs ho this, as the vicket was all that could be desired, while the Essex bowling was not likely to be ver/ dangerous under such circumstances. But. the light was very bad, and after a good stand by F. S. Jackson and Brown (ma.) the batting was dis­ appoints g on the whole, but Mr. Jackson played a remarkab y fine innings. In the follow-on brown’ s di-missal from a catch at the wicket excited the anger of the crowd, and the ciiticisms upon the umpire’s decision were very outspoken. Yorkshire made a bad siart, and, although tLe tail played up, the team was always playing a losii g game. Mead did so well in this match that one would think he can hardly escape being chosen for the next English elevtn. In this match Essex reaped great advantage by winning the toss, just as Yorkshire did at Leyton. E ssex . H. G.

The feature of Monday’s cricket at Birmingham was the good form of W. G. Quaife, who kept at the wickets all day. and was still not out with a total of 110. A t the end of the day the home team had only made 243 for 7 wick ts. Quaife just failed to carry his bat through the innings, which was soon finished off on Tuesday. Lancashire began very well indeed, Paul and Ward putting on 98 for the first wicket. The second wicket added 97, and at the end of the day Lancashire weie only 12 runs behind with six wickets still in hand. TyPesley was in brilli tnt form, and Paul played a very patient innings. There was never much chan e of finishi jg the match. WARWICR8HIRE. First innings. Quaife (W .
