Cricket 1899

368 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 24, 1899. SURREY v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. FINE BOW LING BY LOCKW OOD. Played at Cheltenham on Aug. 21, 22 and 23. Surrey won by 140 runs. After their disappointment in not being able to beat Somerset for want of time, Surrey again left out Richardson and again won the toss. They did not make so many runs as against Somerset, which was, perhaps, not altogether a disadvantage in these days when there is seldom time to finish a match on good wickets, and the innings was only remarkable for the brilliant cricket of Brockwell, who returned to form in an unmistakable way; He made almost exactly two-thirds of the runs while he was in, and his innings of 167, which lasted for three hours and three- quarters, was in every way a model of what attractive cricket can be. Paish met with great success with the ball. Before stumps were drawn Gloucestershire had lost Rice, and the total was 18. Several of the home tfam batted well on Tuesday, but the innings was only remarkable for tbe fine bowling of Lock­ wood, who very nearly took all ten wickets. When six Gloucestershire men were out 48 runs were still required to save the follow on, and with eight men out 7 runs were still required, and it is not very likely that Surrey were very disappointed when they were obtained, more particularly as the innings came to a conclusion soon afterwards. Surrey had lost three wickets for 118 at the close of the day, thus being 203 runs on, with a possible chance of putting on a good total before lunch, and getting Gloucestershire all out. Brockwell played another fine innings of 50. Ths innings did not last very long yesterday, and Gl 0 uc?stershire had to get 297 to win. Once more Lockwood bowled in irresistible form, and although Wrathall and Jessop made some runs the result was never in doubt. S u r r e y . First innings.

Sussex won by an innings and 2 runs. It U generally admitted to te a very fine thing to win the toss on the Brighton ground, and when the Sussex men had to field first they were doubtless pre­ pared to see a long day’s cricket by Lancashire bats­ men—p 'rhaps by only four or five of them. Mac­ Laren was not playing for Lancashire. But the commencement of the innings was even more startling than that of the Yorkshiremen at Tonbridge, for in twenty minutes three wickets were down for four runs; Ward, W . B. Stoddart, and R. H. Spooner all made duck’s eggs. Tyldesley and Eccles improved matters, but it w h s not until Eccles and Hartley were togetherthatthebatsmen beganto holdtheupp3rhand. The former played very attractive cricket, while the latter kept up his end for two hours. Humphreys brought the innings to a close in an unexpected manner. Sussex, atfirst, had anything but a pleasant experience when they went in, for they had lost Brann and Killick when stumps were drawn with the total at forty-nine. Altogether, the day’s cricket only produced 272 runs, which is somewhat remarkable on the Brighton ground, in fine weather. Nobody could havecomplained that the scoring was slow on Tuesday, while Sussex was batting, for although Ranjitsinhji took twenty minutes to play himself in, he speedily made up for his caution, while Latham played a cricketer’s inniogs. Before Ranjitsinhji was disposed of he had exceeded the highest aggregate ever made by a latsman in first-class cricket—the 2,780 made by himself in 1896. Vine also played good cricket, and the innings closed for 372, 149 runs on. Lancashire had a few minutes’ batting, but did not lose a wicket. The batting quite broke down yesterday, except for a good stand by Tyldesley and Eccles, who put on 76 runs in fifty minutes. Immediately after the game was resumed, Painter, one of the umpires, had a sunstroke, and Mr. Newham took his place. L an cash ire . First innings. Ward, b Bland ................. 0 W. B.

WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Bournemouth on Aug. 21, 22 and 23. Warwickshire won by 194 runs. Still without the three officers, Hampshire did well to dispose of Warwickshire for 271. Only two bats­ men—Lilley and Diver—mastered their bowling, but these two men put on 14* in about an hour and a half. Mr. A. J. L. Hill thin nut with great success with the ball, taking four wickets in half an hour. At the close of the day Hampshire had done mode­ rately well, the total being 87 for the loss of three wickets, thanks to good cricket by Webb and Barton. Captain Quinton played well on Tuesday, but when the inniogs closed Hampshire were 73 runs behind. After losing two wickets for next to nothing, War­ wickshire went ahead very rapidly. Devey and W. Quaife got together and completely mastered the bowling, the former playing an astonishingly good innings. W ar w ic k sh ir e . First innings. Second innings.

Played at Tonbridge on August 21, 22 and 23. Kent won by eight wickets. It was of coosiderable importance to Yorkshire to win this match, and when they won the toss they seemed to have a very good chance of doing so. But, unfortunately for them, Mr. Bradley was in great form, and the wicket was not very easy while they were batting. The start was what is described as “ sensational,” for Jackson and Denton were both out when only one run had been scored. At 18 Tunnicliffe fell a victim to a fine catch in the slips, and the spectators began to wonder what was coming next. A good stand by Mr. Mitchell and Wainwright lelieved the feelings of the Yorkshiremen, and another stand by the former and Hirst placed them once more on grand terms with themselves. Hirst and Mitchell both adopted a bold game. But after they were separated the close of the innings soon came, Bradley being irresistible after the luncheon interval, taking four wickets in seven overs for 18 runs—three of them with successive tails. His victims was Hirst, Lord Hawke and Rhodes. Kent did very well indeed when they went in, having put on 159 for the loss of only two wickets before stumps were drawn. Burnup, who played a great innings, was not out 90, and T. N. Perkins not out 44. Tuesday was a great day for Kent. Perkins soon went, having helped to put on 118 runs in an hour and thirty-five minutes, but after Mr. Mason had been disposed of Mr. Rashleigh stayed with Burnup for an hour and a-half, and helped to increase the total by 117. Burnup was getting very near to his second hundred when he was disposed of. He had played beautiful cricket in making his 171, which was put together in four hours and a-half. When the innings ended Kent was 205 runs on. Yorkshire again began badly, but this time Mr. Jackson showed a glimpse of his best form. Nevertheless, six wickets were down for 109, and everything pointed to the con­ clusion of the match before the evening. But York-
