204 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 14, ls>00. T H E W E S T INDIAN TEAM. THE MATCH AUAINST fLONDON COUNTY. FIRST OP TH E TOUR. Played at the Crystal Palace on June 11, 12 and 13. London County won by an innings and 298 runs. After only a few days’ practice at Southampton the West Indian cricketers found themselves oppos-d to the strongei-t battiD g team which “ W .G ” has been able to get togeth-r this t-eason, and what is more, they lost tbe toss. Tbe C«-unty had the pleasure of batting on a good and hard wicket against bowlers who had not yet become acclimati-ed a m had not yet got into fo im ; and accordingly a lot of iuns were made. “ W .G.” himself was in gieat form and he and Mr. Gi man put up 13? without f eiug separated, a most discouraging st-»rt for the visitors, who, how­ ever, did not by any means lose heart. Th- y were rewarded for their pluck by getting rid of both bats­ men soon after lunch, and as Braund faile 1 to ^et into his stride the visitors wtre not domsr at all badly when Mr. Mason came in. and in pjrtnership with Mr. Lawton quite mastered the bowl ng. As both men have mastered other bowling this saason pretty frequently ihe W eft Indian* could not have been surprised when their own bowlers were in­ effective. For the rest of the afternoon the visitors had a somewhat trying time, but they still perse­ vered, ai d although the fielding became slack at times the bowlers never lost heart, and to the last ball of the day they varied their pac-* with as much study as at the beginning of the match. Indeed, one could not help noting that only the really first-c ass cricketers were quite comfortable with them, although, naturally enough, big scores were made when the bowling was tired. As a result of their first day’s cricket they dismissed ei?ht batsmen f r a total of 432. Towards the ecd of the day the ball kicked very considerably at times, which made it doubtful whether the visitors would be able to do much on the morrow. The question was tettled by a very heavy thunderstorm, which made the wicket pretty easy for a time, during which Mr. E. H. 8 Btrridge, the well-known London ciub amateur, and Mr. Parkes made hay of the bow ing. When the W est Indians went in W .G .,” of cour-e, put him­ self on. About six times out of ten he is fatal to any batsman who meets him for the first time, and on a wicket on which he could do a little he speedily dismissed two or three men, while another was run out. Four wickets for 59. It was a very bad look­ out .for the visitors, but Mr. Tox and Mr. Goodman made a most rietern ined stand, and played first-class cricket, Goodman in particular shewing that he possesses many attractive strokes. For the last wichet Mr. W arm r and W oods put on 59 runs I y very good cricket indeed. On a wicket what helped the bowlers the team, naturally, had no chance in the second innings. L ondon W . G.

Owing to rain it was only possible t ) nlay for three hours and a half on the first day of this match. During this time Yorkshire on a wet wicVet put together 207 for the loss of 6 wickets, and as th*>re was a reasonable chance that the wicket would not improve, this beginning was considered satisfactory. Tunnicliffe, Riret, and Mr. E. Smith and Loid Hawke played exceedingly well. The two latter had raided the score from 162, and were together wh“n stum^H were drawn. Nothing cou’.d be done with'the bowling on Tuesday morning, and the innings was soon over. 1 ancashire made a teiribly bad start, VIr. Maclaren and Ward each making a duck’s egg. Rhode* was very difficult, and when the li -ht became >*<» bad that play had to be abandoned for the day neven w ckeis had fallen for 48. Yesterday, Sharp played well f.»r 32. Yorks’ Ire had a very command­ ing lead, but could do very littl* in their seejnd innings. They, however, made enough runs to declare, leaving Lancashire to make :99 iu two hours.

Played at Cambridge on June 11 , 12 and 13. Sussex won by an innings and 89 runs. Except for an innings of 63 I y Mr. T. L. Taylor, the play of the ’ Varsity team was disapp inting in the first innings, and the sroring very plow. Susse* h id made 79 for tbe less of two wickets when stump * weie drawn. A heavy thunderstorm flooded tje wicket on Tuesday m >rning. Ranjitsinhji was once more in brilliant form, and, thanks chi. fly to him, the Camvridge score was soon passed. He received most useful assistance from Hutt and J. Beao. He was only at the wickets for four hours, and played in his own inimitable style, being absolute master of the situati »n. vvh»n his side was leading by 307 he declared. A t the end of the day Cambridge had put up 55 without loss. Mr Stanning and Mr. Wilson continued to play good cricket yesterday, and took the score to 104 for the first wicket; but the rest of the team did very little. C amb idok U n iv e r sity .
