Cricket 1899

272 C R IC K E T : A W E E K L Y R E C O R D O ft T H t l G A M E J u l y 13, i8 9 § . SUSSEX v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Brighton on July 10, 11 and 12. Sussex won by 57 runs. The Sussex team without Fry and Ranjitsinhji. who were playiDg for the Gentlemen at Lord’s, and Bland, whose injured thumb prevented him from taking any part in the match, was hard y likely to startle the world by any great performance, while the Hampshire men have become so accustomed to see M ajor Poore (who was also at Lord’s) make a hundred for them, that they must have mi-sed him very greatly. On a good wicket 8ussex began very well indeed. Brann, Marlow, Kil’ick. and Vine—the first four men who went in -a ll being in fine form. Marlow was like the Marlow o f a few years ago, and played splendid cricket. But the tail was, if possible, longer than usual, and, but for a good innings of 25 by Collins, it would have nearly created a record for itself. Nevertheless, the total was fairly large. In the absence of Bland, a trial was given to Humphreys, jun., and to the delight of the crowd he disposed of Captain Wynyard (who had himself gone on with lobs while Sussex were io) and English before stumps were drawn, when Hampshire had scored 63 for the loss of two wickets, Barton having played very well indeed. On Tuesday A. J. L. Hill mastered the bowling and scored very rapidly, and thanks to him and Colonel Spens the sussex men had to go in against a balance of 45 runs. Hill scored very rapidly, making no mistakes, and he was batting only an hour and a-half. When stumps were drawn Sussex seemed in for a severe defeat, for despite an excellent 68 not out by Vine they had lost eight wickel s for 158 runs, this being only 113 runs on. For one*, however, the tail did nobly ; and the next wicket added 52 rims, and the last wicket 61 runs. Vine carried his bat for a very well-played innings indeed, which was faultless. Sussex now had a fair chance of winning, and they set about their work in earnest. Hampshire had lost three wickets at lunch time for 40, and although Bill again played an excellent innings they never looked like winning. Thus Sussex had the pleasure of placing a fourth victory to their credit this season. S u ssex . First innings. G.

Mr. Bernard still continues to show that the good opinion which was formed of him when he made his appearance for the county this season was well grounded. In partnership with Rob­ son he helped to put on 156 runs for the first wicket in about two hours an l a-half, both men playing very fine cricket. Mr Trask did nothing, hut the captain was in form, and looked like geMiog a hundred when he was out. After this there was a collapsp. York­ shire at the end of the day had made 69 for the loss of Tunnicliffe. while Mitchell was out on the following morning after he had added two runs to his over­ night score. But Denton and Mr. E. R. Wilson then began a long partnership, and while they were in the Somersetshire men had plenty to do. After th y had put on over a hundred runs, both W ilson and Denton went at about the same time, a'id the innings closed much more abruptly than was anticipated ty either side. A little rain which fell during the night affected the wicket to some extent. At the eod of the day Somerset had lo.^t three wickets for 78, thus being 65 runs on, so that the match was fairly even. Bern trd again played a very valuable innings, mat ing his runs more slowly than usual, and Mr. Stanley, Mr. W oods, Griffin and Mr. Newton did well, but owing to the failure of the tail the total was not likely to be large enough to prevent Yorkshire from winning. But a thunderstorm came on and the game could not be continued for some time, so that there was not much prospect that the match would be finished. The Yorkshiremen suffered very severely for a time from the effects of the storm on the wicket, and five wickcts were down for 80. But Lord Hawke and Tunnicliffe then made a determined stand, and the total was gradually raised until danger was passed. Lord Hawke was disposed of soon afterwards, but he and lunnicliffe, who both played splendid cricket, had saved their side fiom defeat. S om erset . First innings. Second innings. H.

So finely did Mr. de Trafford, Knight, and Pougher begin the Leicestershie innings cin Monday, that when only one wicket was down the seoring-boaid showed 222 runs. Then there was a surprising col­ lapse, and the remaining nine wickets fell for an addition of 59 runs. De Trafford was seen at his very best; he was at the wickets for an hour and twenty-five minutes. The innings lasted the whole of the day. and, I ut for the excellence of Cuttell's bowling, might have been prolonged until the middle of Tuesday. Lancashire, who were without Mr. MacLaren. began very well indeed, Tyldesley being in parti ularly good form, and with good innings by Mr. Hartley, Cuttell, and Mr. Eccles, the score began to mount up rapidly until, with only four wickets down, the total was 223. Tyldesley was in magnificent form, and flndirg in Sharp a valua>le partner he s ;« red very quickly, 147 runs belpg put on for this wicket; afterwards Hallows heped Tyldeshy, and the bowling fell to pieces. Tyldesley was not out until the total exceeded 5 0. For his remarkably fine innings of 249, he was at the wickets for only four hours and a-quarter. A t the end of the day Lancashire had lost seven wickets for 554, so that Leicestershire had a good chance of being beaten in an innings. Yesterday. Mr. Hornby was in great form, ard Leicestershire had to go in again-1 a balar ce of 309, and fared badly. L fic e sth r sb ir b . First innings. O. E.

THE AUSTRALIANS. THE MIDLAND COUNTIES MATCH. N I N E T E E N T H O F T H E T O U K . Hayed at Fdgbaston on July 10, 11 and 12. Australians won by 44 runs. It canm 1 1e said that the home team was repre­ sentative, although on paper it was pretty strong. A certain amount o f rain had fallen, which to a great extent accounts for the smallness of the scores on the flrbt day, during which each side played an innings which produced nearly the same total. The Australians must be so accustomed to seeing their first ftw wickets fall for a small score, while the remaining wickets put on a lot of runs, that they cou’d not have been discouraged in the least when McLeod, Noble, and Gregory were all out for 25 runs. It is true that
