Cricket 1901

M a y 16, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 141 M.C.C. AND GROUND v. SUSSEX. Played at Lord’s on May 13 and 14. M.C.C. won by 230 runs. Without K. 8 . Ranjiteinbji, Mr. Fry, Mr. Collins and Mr. Brann, the Sussex team was but an echo of its former self. Nevertheless, on the first day of this match, it gave a good account of itself. At about the time when the eyes of the average Londoner begin to scanthe contents bills of the evening papers with some curiosity, Sussex were going very strong indeed against by far the most powerful team that the M.C.C. has put in the field this year. Indeed, their bowlers seemed irresistible. By half-past one they had got rid of seven men for 58 runs, and the odds were that the M.C.C. team would be out for about 70. But while Alec Hearne was busily engagedin keeping up his end, Mead appeared on the scene and upset all calculations by scoring 45 by some lively cricket, and it is not at all a bad total for the cricket which was eventually produced. There was nothing remarkable about the Sussex batting—nobody expected it—but Killick seemed likely to do something very useful when he was run out, and Mr. Newham, turning out once more to captain his old team, showed that he can still play a fine defensive innings At the close of the day the M.C.C. had estab­ lished a lead of 84 and had nine wickets in hand. On Tuesday, Carpenter and Mr. Burnup sorely tried the Sussex bowliDg, and by first-class cricket put on 160 during their partnership. After­ wards Mr. Murdoch, who was playing against his old county, showed that he still knew a lot about batting, while Mr. Burnup piled up runs in fine styl^. rJhere was something of a collapse at the eod of the innings, but by that time the mischief was done, and the M.C.C. had a lead which promised victory. Sussex began their second innings badly, and although Killick again played excellent cricket, the innings did not last very long. M.C.C. and Ground. First innings.

The visitors were altogether outplayed in this match, being anything but strongly represented. The bowling of Sharp, Webb, and Mold, and the batting of Mr. MicLaren, Mr. Hartley, and Arnold were the features of the match. WORCRSTERSHIRE. Fir t innings.

BilliDghurst is the captain at B righ ton C ollege this summer. He has three old choices to assist him in A. O. White, a very promising: young bowler, Y . L. Asplmid and S. Williams, the wicket-keeper. A t present the want is a fast bowler though two or three of those com ing on seem likely to improve. The School matches are : v. St. Paul’s, at Kensington, on June 22; v. Dulwich College, at Dulwich, on July 3 ; and Lancing College, at Brighton, on July 13. MAY. 24. Brighton, v. Old Carthusians 3 j . Brighton, v.

Old Brightonians* * Two-day match. C l if t o n C o ll e g e has four old colours, E. P. Keigwin, L . D. Brownlee, C . Stagg and W . L . Sandover, whose value is increased, seeing that the first three were also in the team in 1899. Outside these four, Miller (last year’s twelfth man) is a very promising fast bowler, who did well for the Old Cliftonians last August against good batsmen. Sainsbury (slow- left) is also a very likely bowler and should do well if the wickets give him any assistance. There are also several promising batsmen who may get places in the team, notably A . E . J. Collins, who made the sensational score of 628 not out in 1899. Altogether the team should be quite up to the average and should go a long way towards repeating last year’s victory over Cheltenham on July 12 and 13, though the latter have the advantage of seven or eight old colours and their own ground for the match to be played on.

Mertens, W. S. Read, N. M. Saunders, D . H ilton, and A. L. Candler. As there are consequently only three places to be filled up, there will be little room for new players unless some of last year’s eleven should have to be replaced, not an unlikely event should they fail to show any improvement. As far as can be judged there does not seem to be much promise amoog the new candidates. Fielding is a likely wicket­ keeper, and as he has improved con­ siderably since last season, and is also a
