Cricket 1901

M a y 16, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 139 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. NOTTS. Played at Bristol on May 13, 14 and 15. Drawn. When each side had completed an innings there was not much to choose between the teams. Mr. Jones played a great innings of 95, and was only out through over-anxiety to reach his hundred. He also played a very fine game in his second innings. Mr. Jessop’s runs were not made in quite such a hurry as usual, but with Mr. Hodgkins as a partner he did nearly all the scoring, his share of the 82 runs being 76, while three runs were due to extras. Mr. Hodg­ kins was batting for two hours and five minutes for 15 At the end of the second day Notts, with five wickets in hand were 250 runs on. Yesterday Gloucestershire had an uphill fight and several times looked like losing, but when things were becoming very serious Langdon and Paish made a splendid stand and saved their side. Hale played an excellent inniDgs. The match furnished another instance of the fact that a drawnmatch is often more interesting than a finished one. N otts . First innings.

DERBY. Played at the Crystal Palace on May 13, 14, and 15. London County won by an innings & 119 runs. It would hardly be possible to imagine a cricket ground which looksmore charming than that at the Crystal Palace at the present moment, and any bats­ man with an artistic eye might easily have consoled himself for making an insignificant score bywatching the play of the sunlight on the trees and turf. When Deroyshire won the toss they could hardly have expected to make a very large score, for the wicket was obviously going to give the bowlers a chance of making the ball turn. On the other hand it was obviously not likely to be a bad wicket. As things turned out the team collapsed against the bowling of Mr. J. H. Sinclair, the great batsm an of the South African team . To take eight wickets for 32 would be a great feat on a perfectly shocking pitch, but here the ball did nothing in the way of kicking up; it broke when it was asked to do so, and that was all. Mr. Sinclair showed great judgment in varying his pitch and pace, and no one except Mr. Wright ever began to play him. In batting he failed, but he had done more than enough for honour. His companion in the team , Mr. Louis Tancrad, also failed, but he will, doubtless be heard of later. The honours of the battiDg as far as London County was concerned fell to Mr. Beldam and Mr. Fishwick; they both played good cricket, in somewhat different styles, butit was hardly the very best of cricket; one felt that there was something wanting. Most of their hits were made just behind point and some of themwere very good indeed; but on the whole their partnership was very monotonous to watch. When he had brought his score to a hundred, Mr. Fishwic* attempted to drive the ball over the Palace from the lower wicket, but not getting hold of it properly, he skied it not farbehind the bowler. It was not a chance, but itwould have been if an Australian team had been in the field ; which is not so much of a conundrum as it looks. A momentlater Mr. Fishwick again attempted a big hit, and was very finely caught by Mr. Wright, who ran from point nearly to mid-off. It is very evident that Mr. Fishwick is not one of those bats­ men who live with the fear of their average always before their eyes. His partnership with Mr. Beldam produced 182in two hours and twenty minutes. Mr. Beldam did not long survive him; he had been bat­ ting for three hours and a quarter. Hopelessly behind, Derbyshire did not do very well in their second innings and when stumps were drawn had lost eight wickets for 156, thus still requiring 139 to save the innings defeat. Storer and C. A. Ollivierre played excellent cricket. The match was very soon over yesterday. D ebbyshibe . First innings. Second innings. L. G.

Although Somerset did remarkably well on the first day of the match and seemed to be pretty safe from defeat, they left off on the second day with a lead of 63 and had lost three wickets in their second innings, so that they were by no means out of the wood. The scoring for Somerset on Monday was nearly all done by the older members of the team, Mr. Palairet and Mr. Woods especially distinguishing themselves. The former made his 103 in two hours and ten minutes, showing all his old grace and skill; the latter made 60 in an hour and ten minutes by perfect cricket. Mr. F. A. Phillips, who made his reappearance after his return from South Africa, showed that he has not forgottenhow to bat. Nearly all the Yorkshiremen made runs. Mr. Taylor and Tunnicliffe both played in admirable form, and the tail was, as usual, very difficult to dispose of. Somersetshire fought splendidly in their second innings, Mr. Woods, Robson, Gill and Mr. Palairet all playing a great game. It was an open question whether Yorkshire could get the runs, for they only had three hours and a quarter in which to make 240. But it soon began to be a question whether they would not all be out long beforethe time for drawing stumps, for after 38 had been put up for the first wicket there was an alarming collapse and four other wickets fell for anaddition of 45. Then Mr. Mitchell and Wainwright made a much-needed stand and a desperate struggle ensued, from which Yorkshire emerged in triumph, though the issue was in doubt up to the very last moment. SoMEBSET.
