Cricket 1900

1 82 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. J u n e 7, I. 00. ESSEX v. SUSSEX. Played at Leyton on May 31, June 1 & 2. Drawn. On Friday morning Essex seemed to have their visitors at their m ercy, for weakened as they were by the absence of Ranjitsinhji on account of a sprain, Sussex had an apparently hopeless task before them. Oil Thursday Essex had scored 421 for the loss of seven wickets, and rain fell so heavily in the night that it was obvious that runs would be made with the greatest difficulty. Fortunately for Sussex, it was only possible to play on Friday for a very little while, so that by the time Sat urday morning came they had a chance of making a draw if they could keep in all day. As things turned out they did this with great ease, and thus got out of a very trying situation with the greatest credit to them ­ selves. The feature of the first day’s cricket was the splendid stand made by Carpenter and Mr. McGahey. In partnership thej' raised the score from 37 for two wickets to 272 in the course of less than three hours, and paved the way for a delightful exhibition of batting by Mr. Lucas. Mr. McGahey had previously this season been more or less out of form, but on Thursday he played as fine a game as he had ever done. Carpenter seems to have at last taken the place in the cricket world which he has for so long deserved; his innings was in every way excellent. On Friday there was no play until about a quarter past one, and it was only possible to con­ tinue the game for seventy-five minutes, during which tim e Essex increased their total to 462, Reeves and Mr. Lucas playing particularly well. Sussex put on 28 without losing a wicket. On Saturday the Sussex men steadily set themselves to play for a draw. Mr.Collins was out at 89 for avery careful and valuable 24. Killick was finely run out by Mead before he had scored, and then Martin came in to play a splendid innings at the wicket at its worst. His partnership with Mr. Fry was not of long duration, for the latter, after pla 3 ’ing an admirable defensive innings of 69 in a little over two hours, was out leg before wicket. The tail could do nothing against the bowling of Mead and Young, and soon after lunch the innings was over, Sussex being of course hopelessly behind. It looked as if the match would not last for long, but the wicket rolled out much better than was anticipated, and Mr. Fry and Mr. Collins played such excellent cricket that th<*y put on 138 without being separated. They were together for an hour and three-quarters, the latter wisely being content to keep up his wicket while the former played his usual attractive and brilliant game. E csrx .

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at the Oval on May 31, June 1 & 2. Surrey won by 8 wickets. By not making the best use of their opportunities on the first day of the match Gloucestershire placed themselves out of the running, for they only scored 212 on a perfect wicket and allowed Surrey to make 201 for the loss of Hayward before stumps were drawn, after which rain settled the matter. The only two Gloucestershire batsmen who played up to their reputation in the first innings were Wrathall and Mr. Jessop : the former scored 55 out of the first 77 runs, his innings including ten 4’s, nearly all of them fine hits, while the latter in an hour and ten minutes made 87, at one time hitting eight 4’s off Richardson’s bowling in the course of three overs. In order that Hayward m ight have a chance of scoring enough runs to enable him to complete his thousand before the end of May (he required 18 runs to do this) he was sent in first with Abel, and with the utrflost care began to knock off the runs required. When he had accomplished his object he gave a splendid exliil ition of batting. Abel was also in great form, and the two famous batsmen nearly played out time, Hayward being Ibw. in the last over when he was within eight of his hundred. Meanwhile Abel had brought his figures to 101. The rain on Thursday night spoilt the wicket and runs had to be fought for. Abel was soon out, but Mr. ( rawford played a fine game, and later in the innings Mr. Jephson'and Lees added considerably to the total. Owing to showers there was only two hours and ten minutes’ play, during which Surrey brought their total to 364 for the loss of 8 wickets. On Saturday morning Mr. Jephson at once declared, for rain had again fallen during the night. Mr. Townsend, Mr. de W inton and Board did all that they could to place a good appearance on the game, but f.ockwood, Richardson and Lees were aided by the wicket, and brought about an easy victory for their side.
