Cricket 1900

148 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 24, 1^00. and got but one wicket; whilst other bowlers got respectively one for 57, none for 46, and none for 24. Had the bowling been changed with better judgment—and nearly every­ thing seems to point to the fact that it might have been - it is very probable that the famous “ accident” would not have befallen the Doctor’s deliveries. I shall, at all times, be pleased to answer to the best of my ability any queries which may be addressed to me, but will correspon­ dents kindly remember that I am but human, and therefore cannot answer impossible questions. One gentleman, who must take a very deep interest in the game, asks me to forward him a complete list of bowlers who have performed the hat trick in club matches in Surrey since the earliest days! Such a list could, of course, never be compiled. Another correspondent asks for a list of the longest individual scores made by ladies, and says that this question is prompted hy reading the article entitled/4The Lady Cricketers ” in the current issue of Baily. To several readers the list may prove of interest, and for that reason it is inserted here. RECORD IN D IVID U A L SCORES B Y LADIES. 217, Miss Grace, at Burton Joyce. Notts, in July, 18S7.

Sussex won by 7 wickets. It seemed a somewhat bold move when Ranj itsinbji declared on Friday afternoon, when 8u>sex nad oaiy a lead of 151 runs, in a match in which the scoring was pretty high ; but the probability is that if he had not done so the result would have been a draw instead of a handsome victory. For the Brighton wicket the total of 238 made by Worcestershire in the first innings did not seem largj enough to promise success, and when stumps were drawn on the first day Sussex had already knocked off 86 of the runs with­ out losing a wicket. Mr. Collins being not out 45 and Relf not out 39. The feature of the Worcestershire innirgs had been the fine batting of Bowley, who ►cored 95 in two horns and a quarter by correct cricket. On Friday morning the two first wicket batsmen brought the total to 167 before they were separated. Relf teing the first to go for 96, an ex- ce.lent innings which was put together in aboat two hours and a-half. By this time there was not much life in the bowling. Mr. Collins survived Relf for three-quarters of an hour, having shown very patient and good cricket, and then Ki.lick and Ranjitsinbji got so well going that the Worcestershire bowlers must have m»de up their minds for severe punish­ ment. In an hour 73 runs were put on before Ranjitsinhji, who had not hurried himself, was caught in the slip3. When he left there were three wickets down for 270. Wilson now met with con­ siderable success, but before he could dispose of all the tail Ranjitsinhji, a good deal to everybody’s surprise, declared ; wisely enough as things turned out. At the close of the day Worcestershire, with nine wickets in hand, were 112 runs behind. There did not seem very much chance of finishing the match, but except that Mr. H. K. Foster scored 89 in two hours and twenty minutes by first-class cricket, there was not much in the Worcestershire batting, and Sussex only had to make 93 to win. As arrange­ ments had been made that the game should be prolonged for half an hour if a finish seamed possible, th* re was plenty of time to make the runs. Killick again batted very well indeed.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE Played at Leyton on May 17, 18 and 19. Essex won by 261 runs. Essex men have reasoa to be satisfied with the peiformanceof their team in this match, for except for a collapse by the tail in the first innings, their batting was surprisingly good, while their two chief bowlers, Mr. Kortright and Mead, showed that they are sti.l very effective. Mr. Kortright bowled at a great pace occasionally in the first innings, but wisely slackened his speed in the second; if he can stand the strain he will be invaluable to Essex this season. The success of Mr. Perrin and Carpenter was ^almost as satisfactory as that of Mr. Kortright and Mead. Air. Perrin is generally a bad starter at the beginning of the season, and seldom makes runs till the hot weather com^s, but in both innings of this match he played in masterly style. His fine first innings of 106 was made in two hours and three- quarters, and was quite in his best style, which is always most attractive. Carpenter, as we have always said, ought to be a most successful batsman; he has style and skill, but hitherto he has unquestionably been very little favoured by fortune. His cricket this year has, however, been excellent in every way, and on both Thursday and Friday he gave a perfect ex­ position of the gam e; his 135 was scored in three hours and a-quarter. Except that Mr. Lucas made 33 in his own delightful style, there was absolutely nothing else in the batting in the first innings, for Roberts altogether nonplussed the ta il; in the second innings Mr. Fane, Mr. McGahey and Mr. Kortright all gave a glimpse of their best form. The Glouces­ tershire men were out of the running nearly all through the match. They were 99 runs behind on the first innings, while in their second they h id to go in with a total of 412 before them. In their first innings Mr. Jessop and Mr. Townsend alone played up to their reputation, while in the second Mr. Hodgkins alone made a big score. In both innings the tail collapsed, Mr. Kortright finishing them off in the first innings by dismissing the last four men in 22 balls for 4 runs. E ssex . First innings. F. L.
