Cricket 1899

298 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 uly 27, 1899. NOTTS v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Trent Bridge on July 20, 21 and 22. Abandoned. When on Saturday rain put a stop to this match it ■was in a very interesting state, for Notts, with seven wickets in band in their second innings, were 43 runs on. Shrewsbury and A . O. Jones both very nearly made a hundred for Notts, and both were in great form, while Gunn made over fifty in each innings, and Goodacre 67 >n tbe second innings. Except for the cricket played by Townsend and Jessop, there was nothing of any interest in the Gloucestershire innings. But the display o f these two men more than made up for the small scores made by most of the rest of the team. Jessop made hardly a mistake in his innings, which was compiled in his most aggres­ sive form ; his first hundred took him an hour to make, and then before going for his second hundred he played quite a slow game. He scored his first fifty in half an hour. Altogether it was a very inspiriting display of batting, and threw somewhat into the shade the steady but sound innings of Town­ send, who however scored much more quickly than usual, his 114 being put together in two hours aud a h a lf; he was vtry finely caught at mid-off by Board, who was fielding as a substitute.

HAMPSHIRE v. SOMERSET. ▲ PARTNERSHIP OF 411 FOR THE SIXTH WICKET. Played at Taunton on July 20, 21 and 22. Hampshire won by an innings aDd 151 runs. It is not a new thing for records to be made against the Somersetshire bowling, which has lor several seasons been looked upon as indifferent, and the county has had to go through a lot of trying experi­ ences. It has not done well this year, but there were not wanting signs that things were looking up, and Bome time ago a match was won. A t the end of '1hursday’s play it looked as if another victory would be placed to the credit of tomerset, for after putting up the fine score of 315by good all-round cricket, they had got rid of four of the t est b ampshire bats for 65. So far nearly everything was couleurde rose. It is true that among the Hampshire victims on Thursday evening Major Poore was not to be found (although he had been missed at the wicket with his scoro at 4), and thst Captain Wynyard, who after being vtry un­ fortunate through the season had made two very fine scores in a match at Lord’s, had not yet gone in, but it was reasonable enough to hope that Hampshire might not do anything very great on the morrow, inlay** cricket was astonishing from the first m >ment of play. Major Poore and Soar, the two not outs, continued their innings in such a satisfactory way for Hampshire that before they were parted the total was within measurable distance of that of Somerset, the stand by these two men having pro­ duced 190 runs in an hour and fifty minutes This was not a very promising outlook for Somerset, and when Captain Wynyard speedily began to show that he had found his form again the field soon resigned themselves to the inevitable. But even with all their varied experience they must have been astonished when the two officers continued for hour after hour to remain at the wickets, always making runs quickly and hardly giving any chances. They came together with the score at 258, and when at last the Captain was out it had been raised to C69 in four hours and twenty minutes, a rate of scoring which is fast enough to please anybody. Captain Wynyard did not give the slightest chance until he had made nearly 150 runs. Two minutes after he was out he was followed by the Major, who had made the second score of the year, the best being 357 not out by Abel against Somersetshire at the Oval. It had seemed any odds that both batsmen would be still in when stumps were drawn, as there was only about ten minutes to play when the partnership was broken. The innings was of course promptly declared on Saturday morn­ ing, and the Somersetshire tail made a plucky attempt to play out time after the first six wickets had fallen for 114runs. It will be noticed that Captain Wynyard met with great success as a bowler. S omerset . First innings. H . T. Stanley, b Soar...........28 Second innings, c Steele, b ] tine . C. A.

For once the Australians in the Middlesex team altogether failed to come off, and, as Hearne is still quite out of form, the Yorkshiremen had ample revenge for their defeat at Lord's, and in all proba­ bility would have given their opponents a sound thrashing if rain had kept off oa Saturday. For some reason or other which was not apparent Middlesex did very little in the first innings, although Warner, Hayman, Moon and F. G. J. Ford all looked like making a lot of runs. The Yorkshiremen had passed the Middlesex total when stumps were drawn and had only lost one wicket, Jackson being not out 111 and Denton not out 78. Friday will be a memorable day in the annals of Middlesex, for they saw their great bowlers treated with the utmost severity by everyone who went in, and at the close of the day they had only managed to take six more wickets, while the day’s play had produced 359 runs. For the second wicket Jackson and Denton put on 219 runs; the former was batting for four hours and the latter for two hours and forty minutes, while Mitchell, who also made a hundred, was batting just as long as Jackson. On Saturday Middlesex went in on a wicket so affected by rain that they would without much doubt have failed to play out time, but rain came down and saved them. The Middlesex bowling analyses are «omewhat remarkable, and nobody took more than two wickets. M iddlesex . First innings. P. F. Warner, b Hirst H . B. Hayman. run out L. J. Moon, b H aigh..........
