Cricket 1900

326 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 9, 1900. Ranjitsinhji was not playing for them, to the very great disappointment of Worcester people, who had looked forward to teeing him. Three wickets fell for 5 runs in a few minutes to W ilson’s bowling, and then Mr. Fry and Butt stopped the threatened collapse. The former played a splendid game, and was within four runs of accomplishing the feat of scoring four hundreds in successive innings, when he was out afttr batting for two hours and fifty minutes and placing his side in an excellent position. After­ wards Mr. Brann played one of his best innings of the season, and was well backed up by Bland, so that when the innings was over Sussex led by 6 runs. 'Ihere was no time to finish the match unless Worces­ tershire collapsed very badly indeed. They did not do very well, but well enough, and the match was drawn. W orcestersh ire . F.rst innings G.

Notts won by an innings and 71 runs. On a slow but not difficult wicket Notts were batting the whole of the first day, losing eight wickets for 3l0 runs, Shrewsbury playing a very steady but good innings of 47 in a little over two hours; he was the fourth man out. 'ihe stand of tne day was made by Dench and Mr. Dixon, who increased the total by 119 in an hour aud forty minutes. Mr. Dixon made his first hundred of the season, being not out 117 when stumps were drawn. He and Carlin, who also carried his bat, put ou 70 in three-quarters of an hour by some of the liveliest cricket of tbe day. On Friday ttiere was only about an hour’s cricket, and this not until the evening. Mr. Dixon stiU kept up his wicket, and at the end of the innings was not out 126, made in tnree hours and twenty minutes. Leicestershire lost Mr. de Trafford Lefore stumps were drawn with the total at 23. Their chance of coming out of the match witb credit had vanished on Saturday morning, for tbe wicket was immensely in favour of the bowler8,and though Leicestershire made a determined attempt, which was very nearly successful, to save the match, they were out at 6.40 p.m. for the second time.

Haileybury won by 116 runs. After being altogether outplayed in the first innings Haileybury worked so well when they went in again that they were able to declare, leaving Cheltenham to make i97 to win in about an hour «nd a half. Against the bowling of Little, Smith and Bignell the Cheltenham batsmen collapsed. H ailkybury . First innings. R. F. Rtid, c Neame, b Winterbotham . ... 33 E. C.

It was unfortunate for Essex that Yorkshire caught them at Harrogate on a wicket which was altogether against batting, after themselves playing on one which was not as difficult as it 1ecime later. It is beyo d all doubt that Rhodes is the most dangerous bowler in England on a tricky wicket, and as the Essex team does not possess any men who are li ely to knock off a dangerous bowler when he is carrying everything before him, they 8re bound to suffer severely at times in a j-eat-on like the present one. Yorkshire did well enough iu the first innings thanks to a good beginning by Tunnicliffe and Mr. E*nett Smith, and a very fine display by Wainwright who is i ne of the few men who know how to make the best of things when the bowlers are getting the upper hand on a soft wicket. A t 1he end of the day, during which it was only possible to play for a short time Yorkshire had made 159 for the loss of nine wickets. On Friday there was no play at all, so that the game was resumed on Saturday there was hardly any chance that the match would be brought to a definite conclusion. The Yorkshire innings was soon over, and there was a sad collapse on the part of Essex, the only two men who ever seemed like making a few runs being Mr. Mc'^ahey and Mead. W ith a lead of 1* 6 Yorkshire went in again for twenty minutes, and being fortunate in having men in iLe team who can put on runs very quickly they knocked up 42 in this time for the loss of a wicket, whereupon Lord Hawke declared. Mr. Ernest Smith, Mr. Taylor and Hirst all played just the sort of cricket which was required. Essex bad now to make 349 runs to win in an hour and fifty minutes, and six wickets were down for 14 runs. M r McGahey again kept up his wicket, and was not dismissed until he had been in for three- quarters of an hour for 12 runs, but he could not stay the collapse, and in an hour and five minutes the match was over.
