Cricket 1900

Auo. 16, 1900. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, 345 wickets when he disposed of Mr. Cbam- pain, and it was a startling alteration in the appearance of the game when a few minutes later it was 173 for five wickets. T h e Essex innings against Derbyshire at Derby was a curiosity in its way. Two men, Carpenter and Eus6ell, scored 290 out of 344 from the bat, and there was only one other score above 6—that of Mr. Lucas with 26. Thus these three men made 316 out of 344. A n o t h e r good all round cricketer has returned from South Africa on the sick experience of the Gloucestershire eleven in their match with Middlesex at Bristol at the end of last week. This was the fateful record:— F.H.B.

It must be somewhere near one. The un­ enviable notoriety of a pair fell to two other county batsmen in the latter part of last week. The unfortunates in this case were Diver, who made a pair for Warwickshire against Yorkshire, at Bir- THE SURREY TEAM. Middlesex, just settled down to form, as their opponents, this was impossible. In his absence Lord Harris, who is a vice- president of the West Indian Club, proved a more than efficient substitute. It is satisfactory to learn that the West Indians have the warmest recollections of the welcome they have received from English­ men all over the country. A n o t h e r trial match has been added to the programme of the Surrey County C.C. This will take the form of Gentle­ men of Surrey against the Public Schools, and will be played at the Oval on the T . RICHARDSON. W . LUES. T . H AYW ARD. E. G. HAYES. F. HOLLAND. P. STEDMAN. W .

To judge by the fact that he is “ billed ” to take part in the Scarborough Festival at the end of the month, he must be already fairly convalescent. Anyhow, the public will be very glad to welcome him back to the cricket field. I t is not often that four batsmen on a side fail to get a run in either innings in a first-class fixture.

Lord Hawke, to whose initiative this first visit of a West Indian team to England was mainly due, in the fitness of things ought to have presided. As the Yorkshire eleven had a tough task before them at Leeds this week with 24th and 25th of this month. The competition for places, I learn, has been so keen that considerably more than the regulation complement of twenty-two players have accepted. A. v o n E r n s t h a u s e n , who made his first appearance in the Surrey Eleven at Bournemouth this week is, Cricket readers hardly need to be told, this year’sUpping- ham captain. As far as I know he came into Surrey’s first team without the usual probation as a member of the second eleven. His record as a public school
