Cricket 1900

J uly 5, 1900. OKIOKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 SURREY v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Worcester on Jane 28 and 29. Surrey won by 10 wickets. For once Mr. H. K. Foster did nothing remarkable for Worcestershire, and the weakest of ail the counties had to put up with a severe defeat. Worcestershire lost in the first hour of the game whatever chances they may have had of winning by losing five of their best batsmen for 53 runs. The tail played up nobly, and assisted Arnold to put a much better appearance on the g ime, but the total of 167 was by no means large enough for the wicket with such a strong batting team as Surrey to follow. Lockwood bowled with great judgment, and the collapse was chiefly due to bim. Surrey went in at a quarter to four, aod in the remai'iiag time scored 199 for the loss of only three wickets. Brockwell played splfendid cricket, and was within five of his hundred when he went in to drive, and the ball, which he just touched, rebounded off the wicket-keeper’s pads; he was thus run out, although by a misunderstanding his name appeared in Friday’s papers as “ b Bannister.’ * Hayward was not out 15 when stumps were drawn. On Friday he increased this to 88 by excellent all-round cricket, and although the tail did not distinguish themselves the total was large enough to make an inniD gs deleat possible. This however was saved by some good batting by Arnold, Wheldon, and Mr. M. K. Foster. W o rc e ste r sh ir e . First inniD gs. Arnold, b Lees .......... Bowlev, lbw, b Lockwood...

As things went in this match Notts would have had an extremely good chance of winnin? but for the rain. They had sained a great advantage on Thursday on a wicket which had been made heavy by a lot of rain, for they had scored 56 for one wicket against a total of 98. Another heavy storm brought play to a prema­ ture close in the afternoon, and on Friday it was not possible to continue the game until one o’clock, when Shrewsbury played a masterly innings on a sodden wicket for aoout five hours. It was thought well to declare when the total was 200 for seven wickets, for by this time the turf oflfered possibilities for the collapse of the Kent team. ThaDks however to a good innings by Baker they made 53 for the loss of three wickets, and were thus only 49 runs behind with seven wickets in hand, so that their case was not a bad one. I f the rain had held off there might have been a very keen fight on Saturday, but a storm in the night put a sudden end to the match. K e n t . C. J. Burnup, b J. G. J. V.

The team which played for Sussex in this match was quite unrepresentative of the full stiength o f the county, K. S. Ranjitsinbji, Mr. Fry, Mr. Collins, Butt, Bland and Vine all lrerag absent. The result was that the University showed a great superiority all through the match. Sussex did wtll enough until lunch, when the score was 1S9 for one wicxet, but there was an alarmiDg collapse afterwards. At the end of the day Oxford had put on 103 for the loss of three wickets, Mr. Foster, who bad played a brilliant innings, being not out 51. A ll ihe rest of the team scored well on Friday, and when Sussex went in again it was to knock off 150 runs before drawing level. They failed in a most decided manner on a not very ea*y wicket, the only two men who made any stand being Mr. Brann and Mr. Newham, who played so well together that there were hopes of a struggle after all. Tne eud soon came when Mr. White went on. He took six wickets for ten runs. S u ssex . First innings. G.

It was a pretty strong M.C.C. team which opposed Cambridge, although the bowling was represented by Leicestershire professionals only, but the University gave a better account of itself than it has done for some time. Mr. S. H. Day, who has again gone in first, came off at last, and may have played himself into form, and Messrs. Daniell, Taylor and StanniDg did well. But there seems to be as great a want of variety in the batting as in the bowling, and very few of the men seem to have much idea of trying to make the most of the bowling ; they for ths most part wait for something to turn up, and have few strokes by which they can score off anything but loose balls. The wicket happened to suit Mr. W ilson, so that the bowling came out all right. W .G. played a good second innings, and Thompson a very useful one, but some of the best batting in the match was shown by Mr. Doll. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings. S. H.
