Cricket 1900

1 3 2 CRICKET . A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 1 7 , 1 5 0 0 . gow), at Dundee, in August, 1882; and 130 yards 5 inches, by G. Davidson, at Clontarf (N.S.V.), in 1889. It is presumed that in the above instances the ball was thrown with the wind. The continued success of Hayward must be very gratifying to Surrey partisans. Last year he showed a great advance in his batting: capabilities, making very large scores in till the great matches, but this year he gives promise of being even more successful In the five matches in which he has so far par­ ticipated he has scored 120 not out, 55 and 108, 131 not out, 55, and 193, and thus has an excellent opportunity of equalling “ W.G.’s ” performance in 1895 of scoring over a thousand runs during May. Should he be fortunate enough to equal this great record, however, it must be borne in mind that “ W .G .,” when he accomplished it, was no less than forty-six years of age, or seven­ teen years older than Hayward is now. In the first five matches in which he took part in 1895, “ W .G.” obtained 829 runs, whereas Hayward has made 662 ; but the latter has commenced two innings less than the Cham­ pion did five years ago. The doings of the great batsman will certainly be followed with the greatest interest during the next few weeks. When Yorkshire and the Marylebone Club meet at Lord’s some very fine cricket is generally seen, and the recent match between the two sides proved no exception to the rule. The honours of the game were clearly carried off by Carpenter, J. T. Hearne, and Mr. “ Lewes.” It would be interesting to know on how many occasions centuries have been scored by a Hayward and a Carpenter on the same day in great matches, and the fact that this occurred on Monday last must have brought to mind many interesting memories to those who are far enough advanced in years to remember the doings of the famous Cambridge pair during the sixties. Despite the batting successes of Carpenter and Mr. “ Lewes” however, the finest individual per­ formance in the match was undoubtedly by Hearne, who obtained nine wickets for 71 runs in one innings against a strong batting side. It is a long time since he has bowled so well, and on that account his success was still the more noticeable. The success of another cricketer—Mr. Crawford—is also very pleasing, especially as it seemed that he had for a time lost the art of making runs. When in his best form there is no more entertaining batsman to watch, for he gets his runs in a rapid manner, and hits with great power all round the wicket. He is a player who appears to have a great career before him. and there seems to be no reason why any place in the world of cricket should be beyond his reach. LEICESTERSHIRE v.WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on May 10 and 11. Warwickshire won by 8 wickets. After the fine display o f cricket which they had given at the Oval the Warwickshire men must have felt that they had a particularly good chance of beating Leicestershire. On a drying wicket the Leicestershire team broke down with great com­ pleteness, the hitters, unfortunately for their side, being out before they had a chance of turning the tide of disaster. Bantall had a remaikable analysis. Realising that their only chance of makiDg a good score was to play bold cricket. Warwickshire hit with determination. They began badly, but Charlesworth came off splendidly, scoring his first fifty iuns in less than three-quarters of an hour. Devey also played a fine innings, while W . G. Quaife and Div»r helped considerably towards the total of 218, which was put together in about two hours and three-quarters-a striking contrast to the time often taken by the team in making the same number of runs. At the close of play Leicestershire had lost a wicket in their second inniDgs for 22, and thus seemed very much out of the running being still 149 ruDs behind. On the follow­ ing rooming they m aie a determined tff rt by deftn-ive play to make up for their failure in the first innings. King was batting three-quarters of an hour for 15, Pougher an hour for 11, Bar. .de iraffurd an hour and ten minutes for 44, and Mr. C. J. B. Wood tour hours for an excellent 114. The feature of the innings was his stand with Mr. de Trafford ; during their partnership there was more than a leasonable chai ce that Warwickshire would have some difficulty in winning. A & it was they only had to make 70 to win, a task which they accomplished in lees than an hour. L eiceste r sh ir e . First innings. Second innings. C.

Sussex won by 7 wickets. It was a curious team which lepresentedthe M .CC. in this match. It included no fewer than eight pro­ fessionals. which Me should imagine was a record in itself, while of the three amateurs not one has repre­ sented the M C.C. regularly, which rou>t again be almost a rt cord. It is true that there were a good many county matches, b u t. s it happened very few of the M.C.C. amateurs were playing in th m. In this match the M.C.C. revised experimental rules came into opeiation ; that is to say. hits out of the ground were to c unt 0. bits ovi r the net 5, while hits which bounded ovtr the net or went tl roug i it or under it counted as 4. The <ricket which was seen on the first day was uninteresting, partly b» cause it was not very good, partly because the weather was objectionable, and, perhaps, part-y because there were so few spec­ tators that the ground seemed deserted. When stumps were drawn Sussex had scored 55 for the loss of four wickets, against 121 l.y the M C.C. On Fri­ day, Killick played a sound innings, but there was little else of interest in the rest of the match, the play being somewhat of the Saturday afternoon club variety. M. C. C. First innings.

A t the close of the first day’s play Lancashire, with five wickets in hand, were leading by 118 iuns. and there was evejy appearance that this lead would enable them to win. The only batsmen who distinguished themselves wereTyldesley (who played the highest and best inn­ ings of the day), Cutteli, Mr. Hartley and Bagshaw. For Derbyshire O’Connor, a new right-hand medium- paced bowler, made a most succes-ful debut , while B rggs and Webb bowl- d finely for the home team. On Friday the weather was abomiuable through wet. Thanks to a bold innings by Sharpe Lancashire were able to put Derbyshire in to m ike 174. For some time it was on the cards that the ruts would be made, for Bagshaw hit very finely, and as long as he was at the wickets anythiig was pos ible. Bi>t he could get no one at all to stay with him, and the res -It was a severe defeat. Briggs again bowled wiih great success, and Mold, who was put on last, had a fine analysis. L ancashire .
