Cricket 1899

378 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME- A ug . 31, 1899, HAMPSHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Southampton on Aug. 24, 25 & 26. Hampshire won hy 51 runs. Although Captain Wynyard made his reappearance in the Hampshire team, the absence of Major Poore was very greatly felt, and at the close of the first day’s play the visitors had much the best of the game. Captain Quinton had played a good innings, and Mr. Beseltine had hit with vigour. Worcestershire at once lost a couple of men, bowled by Mr. Heseltine. but the two Fosters, W . L. and R. E., then played out time, both having 53 to their credit. Heseltine met with remarkable success with the tall on Friday. 'Jhe two brothers only increased their scores by a run or two, and but for a vigorous innings by Wheldon Worcestershire would have fared badly. As it was ibey exceeded the Hampshire total by 49 runs. In ihe Hampshire second innings CaptainWynyard was in very great form, and in the course of eighty rn'nutes’ brilliant cricket he made 108, of which no fewer than 84 were scored by boundary hits. Barton and Mr. Robson helped him very considerably, and W crcestersbire had to go in to make 204. They lost Mr. Bromley-Ma'tin—bowled first ball forthesecond time in the match by Heseltine for a duck—and stumps were then drawn. Saturday was a time of triumph for Hampshire, inasmuch as they won a very easy victory when they must have been quite ready for a defeat. Arnold played a very fine innings. H am psh ire .

A HECOKD IND IVID U AL INNINGS AGAINST NOTTS. Played at Trent Bridge on Aug. 24, 25 and 26. Middlesex won by ten wickets. There was a remarialle display cf ciicketon the first day of this match. After Mr. Dixcn had lecn disposed of for a small score, Mr. Jor.es and W. Gunn came together and complet-.ly mastered the bowlirg, the former being in his very best and most attractive form, scoring 80 cf his runs by means of boundary hits. The partnership produced 150 runs in a couple of hours. After Gunn’s departure Mr. Goodacre played fine cricket, and everything seemed to be going well with Notts, for at one period cf the game the total was 223 for three wickets. 1 hen came an astonishing collapse, the batsmen one after another failing to make a stand against Trott and Mr. Wells. The interval for tea acted like a charm upon the Middle­ sex bowlers, for after they returned to the field they dismissed the last five batsmen for 21 runs. Middle­ sex had a few minutes batting, and lost Mr. J. Douglas and Mr. Moon for 23 runs, so that the state of ihe game was very open. On Friday Mr. Warner was soon out, and Wass seemed in splendid fcrm. Suddenly, when he was at his very best, having bowled about half-an-hour for a run and a wicket- making a total of 20 overs, 14 maidens, 18 runs, f>nd 3 wickets since the innings began—he straited him­ self, and from this time the batsmen were masters of the situation. A stand by V. ells and Mr. R. N. Douglas realised 171 for the fourth wicke-t. and this was tut the beginning of the success of Middlesex, for afterwaids Rawli' and Mr. Ford played excellent (ricket and helped Wells considerably. Mean\*h le Wells had been taking the bowling in charge in a very decided manner, and had exceeded his own highest score in first-class crichet, and eventually beat the record for an individual innings against .Notts with 244. He was batting for five hours and three- quarters. When stumps were drawn the total was 475 for 7 wickets. Middlesex declared on the following morning without goirg to the wickets. The Notts batting was disappointing, although until Wells went in they did well enough. Jones and Mr. Groves began the innings, and put on 69 for the first wicket, while the latter and Gunn brought the score to 118 before the second wicket fell. Grovesplayed remark­ ably good cricket. At the end of the innings Carlin bit vigorously. The match was a ccmplete triumph for Mr. Wells. N o tts . First innings. Secord innings. A. O.

ESSEX v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played on the Clifton College Ground on August 24, 25 and 26. Gloucestershire won by an innings & 117 runs. A slow first day’s cricket produced 299 runs from Gloucestershire for the loss of only four wickets. While Mr. Troup and Mr. Townsend were together for the third wicket, 259 runs were put on in about four hours. The captain was nearly half-an-hour before he made his first run, and at times Townsend was almost inactive for long periods, but as the bowling gradually began to be mastered the scoring became somewhat quicker. Townsend, who was not out 142 when play ended, again played admirable cricl et on Friday, and before he was disposed of beat his own record—181 not out against Essex, at Leyton, this summer. He was at the wickets for six hours. The Essex batting was, on the whole, disappoint­ ing, for although Mr. Fane played one of his now customary good innings, the other great tats on the side never got into their stride, with the exception of McGahey, who looked like making a hundred. At :he dose of the day the score was 216 fcr eight v ickets. Essex followed on 202 runs in arrear and by lunch time wt re all out again. Mr. Fane played well, ar.d Young, who was missed three times, made a fair score; but the rest of the team collapsed. G LOUCE8TERSHIRE. Wrathall, b Young ... 6 R. W .

Played at Brighton on August 24, 25 and 26. Drawn. It was not by any means all Lombard Street to a China orange that Yorkshire would beat Sussex in this match, for Sussex has been a very hard nut to crack this year, and is, perhaps, stronger at the present moment than it has ever been. At the close of the first day’s play the Yorkshiremen were apparently in not a very good position, for a most promising opening to their innings had led to a mojerate performance and thence to a rout. By splendid cricket Mr. Jackson and Tunniclifft put up 353 for the first wicket, the former doing most of the scoring, but after this the bowlers always had a little the best of the situation, and eventually obtained the upper hand. As usual, Banjitsinhji changed his bowling considerably, and shewed gcod judgment. At the close of the day Sussex had lost Humphieys for 34 ruES. On Friday there was something wrong with the batting, and the team never gof going. Killick played very well, but with the exception of K. S. Ranjitsinhji, who was as good as ever, nobody
