Cricket 1899

338 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 10, 1899. T H E AU STRA L IAN S . THE WARWICKSHIRE MATCH. (T W E N T Y -S E V E N T H OF T H E T O U R ). Played at Edgbaston on August 7, 8 and 9. Australians won by 9 wickets. It was an unfortunate thing for Warwickshire when Bainbridge won the toss, for the wicket was in such a condition that, while it was by no means certain that it would play well, a captain could hardly refuse to take firet ionings. As it turned out, the wicket improved, and the Australians had all the best of it, until on Tuesday morning it was as easy as possible Nevertheless, at the end of the Bank Holiday. Warwickshire had not done so badly—it was only on the following morning that the fates declared decisively against them. Clement Hill was again at sent from the Australian team, while Jones and Noble were given a well-earned rest. There was Dothirg remarkable about the Warwick­ shire batting, except that Lilley and W . Quaife played good cricket under difficulties, but the bowl­ ing of Trumble and Howell was worth watching, for they made the very best possible use of their opportunity. The Australians, following a custom which has become almost fixed, began badly—very badly—but Gregory and Iredale made things look brighter, and when stumps were drawn the total was only 31 less than that of Warwickshire with four wickets etill in hand. On the good wicket on Tuesday the runs were soon knocked off Iredale played a sound innings, but until Howell and Kelly came together there was nothing very noticea1le or interesting about the battirg But these two men played such cricket as must have astonished even the members of their own team, who must have almost foig »tten tha'; Howell has done some remarkable feats in Australia in the way of hitting. The bowl­ ing was hit all over the field, and 109 -was put on in an h -ur and a quarter during the partnership. Johns also played a fine game, and stayed long enough to enable Kelly comfortably to make his hundred. The result of the splendid stand made by the tail was that the Australians had a lead of 177 in the first innings. Warwickshire began their second innings well enough, knocking off a hundred of the runs for the loss of but one wicket. This was due to some brilliant batting by Diver and Devey, who hit up 96 in an hour for the first wicket, thus scoring even faster than A. J. L. Hill and Captain Wynyard had done in the first innings of Hampshire against the Australians. After this the batting fell to pieces and only small scores were made. McLeod met with very great success with the ball. W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.

Essex won by an innings and 223 runs. The Leicestershire men were not seen at their best on Monday, and when play ended for the day Essex had got very near to their total for the loss of only one ticket, Perrin being not out 64 and Fane not out 57. The two men, who bfcame partners when the score was 22, were not separated on Tuesday until it was 258, the partnership thus producing 236 runs in two hours and three-quarters. They both took complete charge of the bowling, and Fane, whose career in the Essex team has not quite come up to promise, played the innings of his life, reaching his second 100 when the total was a few runs short of 500. He was at the wickets for fours and forty minutes, and hardly made a bad stroke. McGahey took advantage of the worn-out bowling, and in the course of a couple of hours of very attractive cricket put up 99 runs. Street and Ayres completed the discomfiture of the home team, who made a bold but vain attempt to keep up their wickets through the whole of yesterday. Knight played a wonderfully good innings.

YORKSHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Sheffield on August 7, 8, and 9. . Drawn. It will be remembered that in the first match be­ tween these teams the Y« rkshiremen were nearly caught napping, finding themselves on a very fast wicket after they had been practising on very slow ones. The Yorkshire team for the present match was not quite as strong as usual, but it included Mr. Ernest Smith, who gave a good account of himself on Monday with both bat and ball, scoriog 32 runs by very steady cricket, of a kind to which he is usually a stranger, and taking two Worcestershire wickets for a few runs. The innings o f the day was played by Denton, who has been in remarkable form since his marriage. Mr. Mitchell, Wainwright, and W hite­ head also played good cricket, and nearly all the team made double figures. It was not a large total, but as Smith bowled both W . L. Foster and Arnold in few minutes, it looked as if it might be large enough. Bromley-Martin and R. E. Foster did well on Tues­ day, but six wickets were down for 13'*. Then the tail batted finely, especially W . H. W ilkes and W . W . Lowe, and ia the end Yorkshire had a very small lead. But thanks to good cricket by Wainwright, Denton, Hirst, Haigh, and Lord Hawke, they were able to declare, leaving Worcestershire to make 298 in pbout four hours. It soon became evident that Worcestershire would have to devote their attention to keeping up their wickets rather than trying to knock off the runs. Y o r k s h ir e First innings. F.
