Cricket 1899

J un e 15, 1899. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 205 remarkable performance in the Sussex and Kent match at Tonbridge. I think that it must be a record. 1 do not re­ member a wicket keeper securing the same three batsmen in each innings, and you will note all three by one bowler in the first and by another bowler in the second; in fact, I do not think Butt has ever been so brilliant as at Tonbridge. I append the scores of this match as far as they refer to his wicket-keeping :— W .H . Patterson,c Butt, b Killick 67 c Butt,b Bland 0 W .W .Rashleigh,cButt,bKillick 0 c Butt,b Bland 0 G. J. Weigall, c Butt, b Killick 29 cButt,b Bland 0 T he formal opening of the new ground and pavilion of the Forest Hill C.C. will take place ou Friday, June 23rd. The club is opposing the London County Club on that day, and Dr. W . G. Grace has promised to play for the London County Club. There will be an illuminated fete in the evening to members and their friends. B y scoring 104 and 119 not out for Hampshire against Somersetshire, Major j Poore has placed his name on the list of the select few who have made a hundred in each innings of a first-class match. J. T. Brown, of Driffield, only missed accom­ plishing the same feat for Yorkshire against the Australians by a very few runs. L a s t Saturday the Brixton Amateurs, after making 76, disposed of the Manor House C.C. for two extras in the first innings, and 56 in the second. The score of the first innings is appended :— M a n o r H o u s e . —First innings. Simpson, b H. Gale .. 0 Henderson. b Beppel 0 Ashton, b H. Gale ... 0 Hayes, b H. Gale ... 0 Denselow, c H.

Gale Extras........... Total T h e team which has been chosen to represent England to-day (Thursday) at Lord’s in the second match against Australia is as follows :— A. C. MacLaren (Lancashire) ♦F. S. Jackson (Yorkshire) *C. 13. Fry (Sussex) ♦K. S. Ranjitsinhji (Sussex) G. L. Jessop (Cambridge University) C. L. Townsend (Gloucestershire) Lilley (Warwickshire) ♦Rhodes (Yorkshire) ♦Hayward (Surrey) ♦Tyldesley (Lancashire) Mead (Esstx) Reserve: Brockwell (Surrey) ♦Played in the first match at Nottingham, June 1st, etc. It will be noticed that whereas in the first match only four amateurs were playing, the present team includes six. A m e e tin g of the Board of Control was held on Tuesday at Lord’s, when the following hours for play for the above match were decided upon :— First day, 11.30 to 6.30 Second day, 11.0 to 6.30. Third day, 11.0 to 6.30. A. C. MacLaren has been chosen captain of the English eleven. I n the Lancashire match against Derbyshire, A. Ward was out “ hit wicket,” a piece of his bat flying off and removing the bail. This is an accident which, while it is not by any means of every-day occurrence, is not altogether uncommon. Taylor and Moon, One afternoon Last week, made the Kangaroo wriggle But Worrall and Joe Laid about them so, That the Kangaroo’s face was a-giggle. T he following is the “ lbw and run out” list for the week:— L b w . — Lees, Captain Wynward, Tate (Hants), P. Perrin, Butt, Storer, F. Mitchell, C. L . Townsend, W . Troup, E. F. Penn, E. R. Wilson, A. E. Hind, Storer (twice in same match), H. M. Lawrence, Hayward, Barton. R un o u t . —Cuttell, A. Trott, W . Trask, J. H. Stogdon, Denton, Paish, C. W . Wright, A . H. Hornby, G. MacGregor, Alec Heame, Nicholls. It is to be feared that one or two of the veterans have got the attack rather badly, for they cannot shake it off. I n the course of the past week it has fallen to the lot of two young captains to find that experience may sometimes be very dearly bought. Mr. Mason, when the last two Middlesex batsmen were in on Monday evening, forgot to change his bowliDg until the score had been increased from 55 to 120, and had to suffer the great disappointment of seeing it still further increased to 285 before the two men were parted. In the Cambridge match against the Australians, Mr. Jessop hesitated to take off Mr. E. R. Wilson, when Jones and Howell were batting, because the bowler seemed on the point of getting a wicket every moment. The result was that 57 runs were made in 5 overs off him, while the two batsmen continued to score. Without much doubt Cambridge would eventually have made a draw but for this mistake. Fortunately both captains are young, and both are anxious to learn, and in the long run their experiences may not have been too dearly bought after all.
