Cricket 1900

342 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A do . i6 , 1900. T H E CANTERBURY WEEK . KENT v. SURREY. m a r t in ’ s b e n e f it m a t c h . Played at Canterbury on August 9, 10 and 11. Drawn. After the miserable weather on the Bank Holiday it was trying to the tvent officials to find it livailed I y that of Thursday—“ the Ladies’ Day.” It whs unfortunate, too, tha' the match had >een s^t apart for Martin’ s b -neflt, although happily f r him -elf he bad agreed to accept tbe c •mmittee’* offer of taking the average receipts for the p»st five veais. It is unnecessary to say anything about the wicket of the day, for it only lasted twenty minutes, during which Kent made 17 without loss. Aeain on Fiiday rain interfered f o much with the play th »t the cricket only lasted for a li tie over half an hour. Kent increased th ir total to 37 for the loss of Alec Hearns. It seemed most unlikely that the i?ame would be finished on Saturday, even if the sun shone out in all his g ory, so that it was surprising that co many spectators appeared. The bowltr* hid much the beat of things, aud about h >lf an hour before lunch the Kent innings was over. On th-? difficult wicket Mr. Burnup and Mr. 8tewart played admirable cricket, while Brockwell. wh >was put on last, bowled with great success. There was just a chance that Surrey might collapse, and when Brockwell and Abel were both out with the total at 14 thing< looked bad. Hayward ali-o made a duck’s egg. being run out ty one o f those fatal misunderstaudings which always seem so unnecessary. Lock wo )d and Mr. Jephson deserved w»-ll of their county, the former playing very attractive cricket, while the latter kept up his end in a dogged manner. The Kent second innings was not begun until nearly h If pa>t five, when Mr. Day and Mr. B!aker made things very lively, sending up 50 in eighteen minutes—49 of them off half-a-d'>zen overs. K ent .

Middlesex won by 125 runs. A t the present moment the Middlesex team is in clover. Whatever luck may happen to be about, goes to it. an I it* bowlers and batsmen toth get opportunities of distinguishing themselves. Ih e game was practically won f..r Middlesex when they won the toss on Friday morning, for, in the terrible state o f the wicket which had been prepared for the match, it had been agreed to play on a new pitch. The result was that after Middlesex had played an innings there was precious little chance for those who came afterwards. The feature of the first day’s cricket was the fine batting of Mr. J. Douglas, who made his 81 in two hours and fifty minutes. Glou­ cestershire had a busy time when they went in just before five o’clock, and when stumps were drawn they had lost four wickets for 60. On Saturday, Trott and Mr. Bosanquet soon finished off toe innings, and Middlesex had a lead of 104, which was equal to about 300 on a perfect wicket. Mr. J. Douglas again distinguished himself, and was ably assisted by Mr. W. P. Bobertson, with the result that Gloucester­ shire had to go in to make 240 iuns. There was nev*r a ghost of a chance that they would either play out time or make the runs; there would not have bte i. even if Mr. Jessop had been in the form that he was three or four weeks ago.

DERBYSHIRE. Played at Worcester on August 9, 10 and 11. Drawn. It was not until half-past two on Friday that it was possible to begin thia match. Then, on a sodden wicket, Mr. Bromley-Martin and Bowley made such a good start that 138 runs were put on in an hoar and three-quarters for the first wicket. Bowley scored at nearly twice the rate of his partner, but when he had reached ninety he suddenly became so cautious that he was fifty minutes in trying to reach his hundred, and at last was out when within three of the desired total. Afterwards Mr. R. E. Foster played very attractive cricket, but there was no other big score. The last four wickets fell for four runs. Nevertheless the Worcestershire captain was able to declare with the total of 229 for eight wickets. Derbyshire had to go in for half an hour and scored 15 runs for the loss of Mr. Wright. There was not much chance that the game would be finished on Saturday, for neither side is very strong in bowling, and when Storer and Bag­ shaw got together, at 42 for two wickets, the bowlers had the worst of it. The two Derbyshire men in­ creased the total by 100 runs, and by the time that they were separated a drawn g-ime was almost a certainty. Good cricket by Mr. Lawton and Hum­ phries enabled the Derbyshire captain, in his turn, to declare, his side having a lead of 72 runs. Bowley and Mr. H. K. Foster, however, soon made the game safe.
