Cricket 1899

288 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 . J u l y 2 0 , 1899. draw. The third wicket fell at 204, and the fourth at 212. It was now obvious that the Australians meant to go for a draw, and nothing else, and when Darling was missed after he had become set, it seemed very likely that they would accomplish their ol ject. But Noble went at 255 and Darling at 272, so that England once more had a fair chance of winning. Iredale and Kelly, however, put an end to their hopes and there was no further interest in the match. Darling declared on the off-chance that something might happen to the England team, but although Fry, MacLaren and Quaife failed to distinguish themselves, Ranjitsinhji and Jackson did all that was required of them. There is no possible room for doubt that Noble’s remark­ able play saved the Australians from a severe defeat. In the course of the match he was battingfor nine hours and a half, andfornearly the whole time his side was acting on the defensive. It was not the sort of cricket which is attractive, but it was the sort which attains its object. E n g lan d . First innings. Quaife (W . G.), c Darling, b Noble ........................... 8 C. B.

YORKSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Sheffield on July 17, 18 and 19. Y orkshire won by an innings and 3 runs. The Yorkshire eleven was very much weaker than usual, for the England mat<"h at Old Trafford kept away Jackson, Brown and Rhodes, while Lird Bawke and Hunter were also absent. A splendid start was made by Leicestershire, notwithstanding that the bowling of Brown (Darfield) got up in a very awkward manner, hitting Knighc somewhat severely two or three times. De Trafford made some very fine hits in his 62, including an on drive right over the new stand and out of the ground—the biggest hit this season at Rramall Lane. In partner­ ship with Knight, for the first wicket, he put on 107. Afterwards most of the team made runs, but no one did anything out of the common except Knight, whose 131 was an excellent innings in every respect. The crowd was in a somewhat facetious humour, and they were very much interested in an energetic attempt made by Whitehead to run a ball after it had safely reached the wicket-keeper’ s hands. After he had b ien batting for some time, blocking ball after ball with extreme care, a wag shouted out and begged him not to exert himself too much, but rather to play a steady game. A t the end of the day when the iD nings closed, Leicestershire had done enough to be a le to hope they would at least avoid defeat. The Yorkshiremen did not begin well on Tuesd ty, but when Denton and Mitchell were together the score rose rapidly. Both men played brilliant cricket, and the Leicest rshire total was passed for the loss of five wickets. At the end of the day Leicestershire had lost one wiciet in their second innings and were still 107 bthind. Rain fell in the night and they collapsed. L e ic e ste r sh ir e . First innings.

Played at Lord’s on July 17, 18 and 19. M.C.C. won by 332 runs. Captain Wynyard and Mr. W . L. Murdoch, neither of whom has been at his best this year, were see a to very great advantage on Monday morning, and put up 152 for the first wicket. But although Carpenter and Storer played good ciicket, the innings came to an end much sooner than was anticipated owing to a breakdown against the bowling of Wilson. Worcester­ shire began well enough, but only just saved the follow on. Captain Wynyard, for the second time in the match, played beautiful cricket, and it is very pleasing to see him in form again. He was not very far off scoring two separate hundreds in the match. M.C.C. First innings. Second innings, W . L. Murdoch, c R. E. Foster, b Arnold ...........66 b B urrow s.............17 Capt. E. G.
