M a y 23, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 151 THE SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM. THE HAMPSHIRE MATCH. FIRST OF THE TOUR. Played at Southampton on May 16,17 and 18 Hampshire won by an innings and 51 runs. An enemy of the South African team would not have wished its members worse luck than they had at Southampton. They lost the toss to begin with-it is a great mistake on the part of a captain of a touring team to do this in the earlier matches—they found the three men in excellent form who were the most likely to be dangerous, and then after making a most plucky uphill fight in the first innings on a wicket which was not quite as good as that on which their opponents had enjoyed themselves, they had to play their second innings under circumstances which were much in favour of the bowlers. Then is no reason why they need despair of future success. They an hardly help being a little dis­ couraged, for their fair shareof thegoodfortunewhich is about will be sure to come before long. Underthe circumstances there was nothing very remarkable in the match, for except the very fine cricket played by Mr. Bisset and Mr. Hathorn, for both Mr. Hill and Llewellyn havepreviously sampled the SonthAfrican bowlers, the former when a memberof atouringteam, and the latter as one of themselves. Naturally they both fonnd them easier on a perfectgrass wicket than on matting. Captain Greig, the third batsman who made a big score, had a great reputation in India, and isthought by good judges to be likely to develop into a splendid cricketer on English wickets. The mis­ fortune, from a South African point of view, was that they all came off at once, which was not at all according to Cocker. At the close of the first day’s cricket, Hampshire had scored 538. The partnership between Mr. Hill and Llewellyn produced 162 for the fourthwicket.’andthatbetween Llewellyn andCaptain Greig about the same for the fifth wicket. All three batsman played admirablecricket. Llewellyn’s 216— the best iunings of over 2C0 of the season—was put together in three hours. A collection was made for him on the ground andproduced £910s. Towards the end of the day Mr. Sinclair, who hadbeenerratic, got his length and brought the innings to a speedy con­ clusion. On Saturday the South Africanswere fight­ ing grimly against fate, and gave an excellent account of themselves. As most of the best batsmen failed itis pretty clear that the team will give a fine account of itself before long with the bat, for it was a great thing under the circumstances to make a total of 346, even against the Hampshire bowling. Mr. Hathorn had the distinction of scoring the firsthundred of the tour and the captain was within a very little of equalling his performance. On a wearing wicket the South Africans lost four of their men in the second innings for 82, before stumps were drawn, and could naturally hope for nothing but a severe defeat on the morrow.
