Cricket 1899

346 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. A u g . 17, 1899. LANCASHIEE v. ESSEX. Played at Leyton on August 10, 11 and 12. Lancashire won by eight wickets. For the most part the batsmen in this match were under a cloud, and in the course of the game only four men made over 50. The wicket was hard enough, but one or two of the bowlers received help from it, with the result that there were some remark­ able analyses. M old was in great form in the Essex first innings, and Ward, who is quite coming out as a bowler, distinguished himself in the second. This was one of the matches in which the Essex men would have given almost anything to have been able to see Mr. Kortright bowling at one end. Even as it was, if they had been able to dispose of Tyldesley and Mr. Eccles for small scores, they might have won pretty easily. Mr. Lucas showed that he has lost none of his well-known ability to keep up his wicket when his side is in difficulties, and Mr. Fane played a very pretty innings. E s s e x . First innings.

Played at Taunton on Aug. 10, 11 and 12. Drawn. The Somersetshire men can have hardly known themselves when their innings was completed. They have been the sport of fortune throughout the season, and have over and over again seen their opponents make huge scores, while th(jy themselves have been unable to do anything at all worthy of notice. It must, therefore, havt teen all the more delightful to them when they could contemplate a total of 554 as the result of their tmited efforts against the Sussex bowlers, who, in the absence of Bland, were very much on a level with those of Somerset. The advan­ tage of having Mr. F. A. Phillips in the team again was very obvious, for he played a splendid innings. He did not take things in a leisurely way, but hit very hard all round the wicket, and very often, until he got well on his way towards his second hum. red. He was only batting for two hours and twenty-five minutes. It was a remarkable thing to see him knocking the bowling about, while Mr. S. M. J. Woods was looking on with admiration ; indeed, during the partnership between these two men of three-quarters of an hour Phillips made 69, while his captain made 20—not that this in itself was very slow scoring. When Phillips went he was soon followed by Daniell, who was very finely caught at deep square leg by Newham, the fieldsman being unfortunate enough to break a finger of his left hand in making the catch. A t this time six wickets were down for 360, which was not a very remarkable total, and the Sussex men had no reason to be dissatisfiedwith the way in which things weregoing. But then followed a partnership between Woods and Captain Hedley which entirely altered the state of affairs. In sixty-five minutes 140 runs were put on, both men hitting the bowling all over the field, Hediey making most of his runs by late cuts, despite the efforts of i anjitsinhji to put a stop to these hits by placing his field for them. Woods’ batting must have reminded the Sussex team of several per­ formances of his at Brighton, for although he began slowly he made up for lost time in the last three- quarters of an hour of his innings. At the end of the first day’s play the total was 500 for the loss of seven wickets, Hedley being not out 59. When the innings closed on Friday morning Somerset had at last the pleasure of knowing that they could not be beaten, but when they came to try to win they found that their bowling had not suddenly attained to excellence like their batting. They got rid of both Fry and Brann at a fortunate time, for if they had waited a little longer it might have been hours before they could experiment on a new man. On the whole they did pretty well on Friday, getting rid of six batsmen for 314. Killick played a beautiful innings of 117, while Ranjitsinhji, who went in late, made 55. On Saturday morning Hanjit sinhji missed his hundred because he could get nobody to Btay with him. He seemed to have been practising for the Australian match, making most of his runs by drives, for a change. Sussex had to follow on, and Mr. Fry gave a splendid exhibition of batting. He was at tbe wickets for three hours and twenty minutes, and played a perfect innings. Long before he left he had saved his side from all possibility of defeat. Mr. Latham, who reappeared in the team, showed that he has lost none of his skill. He was in partnership with Fry for about two hours, during which 195 runs were put on. Ten of the Somersetshire team had a try with the ball in the Sussex second innings. S o m e r s e t . 22 Y . T. Hill, b Tate ..

WARWICK­ SHIRE. Played at Worcester on August 10, 11 and 12. Warwickshire won hy 204 runs. For some reason or other the Worcestershire men were not seen to advantage in this match, in which they were quite outplayed. Mr. W . L. Foster played a fine first innings, but with this exception the batting was not at all up to the standard of the county. W. G. Quaife was the mainstay of the Warwickshire side, while Devey played a brilliant innings. W ARW ICKSHIRE. First innings. H. W .
