Cricket 1899

S e p t. 7, 1899. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME 395 England v. Australia match at the Oval, and was seen at his best in scoring his 87. He did not make his runs nearly as last as Abel, his innings lasting for two hours and thirty- five minutes, but it was, as usual with him, an almost perfect display. The two famous professionals brought the score for the second wicket from 5 to 206. After they were parted there was very little of interest in the cricket except the innings of the captain, who played attractive cricket for his 32 not out. On Friday he unexpectedly found a valuable partner in Nice, who helped him to put on 86 in an hour. Both men hit hard, Nice in particular being very aggressive. It was a pretty nearly hopeless situation for Hamp­ shire, for although the Surrey bowling with­ out Lockwood is not remarkable for strength, it was very unlikely that it would be so weak as not to be able to account twice for Hamp­ shire on a somewhat damaged wicket. As things turned out it was strong enough to accomplish this object in the course of the day. In the first innings every bowler who went on distinguished himself, while Richard­ son ended up the innings in a remarkable manner. In the follow-on the Hampshire men did much better, but they were in a crushing minority and never got going. Barton and Tate both played a good game. S u rrey .

SUSSEX V . KENT. Played at Brighton on August 31, September 1 and 2. Kent won by nine wickets. Rain fell at Brighton in the middle of the first day, but play was only interrupted for about an hour. Handicapped by a wet ball, the Sussex bowlers had a difficult task before them when Kent won the toss, and in Mr. Day and Mr. Perkins they found men who were able to take advantage of circumstances, although neither of them made runs at any great pace, while Day was decidedly the favourite of fortune, for he was missed several times. The partnership produced 99 runs in an hour and wenty minutes. With a few minutes to bat, Sussex managed to lose a good wicket by a “ run out,” of all things the most unnecessary at such a time. Friday was a bowler’s day, and for once hardly any of the Sussex batsmen distinguished themselves. In the first innings there was a good stand by the two not outs of the previous evening, and then a rout. In the follow-on, Mr. Fry played a great game under extreme difficulties. He was batting for an hour and forty minutes, and if anyone could have stayed with him long enough Kentmight have been put in to make a hundred or so, instead of a mere 48. Ranjitsinhji, for the first time for weeks, failed to distinguish himself in either innings, and Sussex have grown so accustomed to relying on him to get them out of a hole that his downfall was a great blow to them. Kent had only a few runs to n ak 3on Saturday morning. K e n t . C. J.Burnup,c Latham, b Gresson ... ... 15 Hearne (A.), c Fry, b Tate ........ ..........11 8.H.Day,lbw,bGres8on 81 T. N.

MIDDLESEX v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Manchester on August 31, Sep­ tember I and 2. Abandoned. In this match Middlesex had all the best of the luck in winning the to3S, for by the time that Lancashire went in the wicket was alto­ gether in favour of the bowlers, so that Trott and Hearne were almost irresistible. In the follow-on Spooner played remarkably good cricket, while Ward and Cuttell were going so strongly, when rain come down and stopped the match, that the side was not in a hope­ less position.

( Continued from page 386.) BOMBAY PRESIDENCY v. PARSIS. Second day’s play, August 12. On Friday, August llth, the Presidency had made 364 for the loss of eight wickets, and as the rain had so affected the turf that scoring was certain to be very difficult, the innings was promptly declared on Saturday morning. The Parsis did as well as could possibly be expcctcd, and they may be con­ gratulated on having succeeded in their object—that of making a draw. Naturally the day’s cricket was very slow, as the Parsis did not attempt to hit. The full score of the match is appended. B om bay P resid en cy . Oapt.
