Cricket 1899

J uly 13, 1899. C R IC K E T : A W E E K L Y R E C O R D O F T H E G A M E . 273 neither Hill nor Worrall was included in the team, but with the present Australians as opponents, the fielding side expects to find a stubborn resistance for the fourth and fifth wickets, not to mention a pro­ long* d stand by the tail. At Edgbaston Trouper made the necessary stand with Trumb!e, who from the first had played good cricket—he is quite a first- wicket batsman nowadays—and afterwards Dar mg played a good game. But Trumble, afier placing excellent cricket for an hour and twent -five miuutes, was caught at the wicket, and then fo.lowed such a succession of disasters that eight wickets were down for less than 130. But the last two wickets altered the appearance of the game very considerably, Jones making 20 off the first two overs which he received, a id although he aft rwards dropped into steady cricket, he was not out until he had nearly reached his fifty. W ilson and Arnold both bowled well. On the whole, thebatting of the Midlands was disappoint­ ing. Champain and Arnold played good cricket, and Jessop made *2 in seventeen minutes wi .h character­ istic boldness. But with the exception of Lilley and Bulme, the rest of the team showed indifferent form ; Hulme, as is his custom when he escapes being out in the first few overs, made thing * very lively. At the end of the day each side had played an innings and the Australians were leading by 7 runs. It will be noticed that, whereas with innings producing practically the same total, six Australians tried their hand with the ball, the Midlanders were content with four bowlers, and that the Australians who did not get wickets were not kept on long. On Tuesday the commencement of the innings was as unpropitiwus as that on Monday, for three wickets were down for 33, Gregory being out to a very fine catch at squaie- leg. But this time Noble was left, and none of the bowlers could make an impression on him, whi e Trumper again played a fine innings. Iredale showed more than a glimpse of his true form, and once more Darling made runs when they were badly wanted : he played a remarkably careful game. Howell made a very useful 23, but the total was not so large as to be very satisfactory,for the wicket had greatly improved W ith 212 to make the Midlands lost three wickets for 9£, A . O. Jones and Quaife putting on 48 after the fall of the tLird wicket. '1his left a balance of 144 to be knocked off, so that there was for o.ice a very good chance that the Australians would le beaten. But rain f 11during the night and althou.h Jones and Quaife stayed together until only 100 mure runs were rtquired, the rest of the team c l.ap.-e 1in a most disheartening manner. Quaife was batting for two hours and three-quarters for 36, and there is no doubt that his innings was invaluable.
