Cricket 1901

M a y 30, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 173 65 runs, a very considerable advantage in a low- scoring match. The second innings of Surrey was disappointing. Abel again failed, and Hayward did little ; even Mr. Jephson, who nearly always contrives 10 make runs when they are badly needed, could only score eleven, and it was left to Lockwood, Mr. Gow r and Mr. Crawford to make the runs. Lockwood played an innings worthy of W. G. Quaife, and was at the wicket three hours and a half for his 66 not out. but doubtless if he could have found someone else to keep going, he would have scored more quick y. Notts only had to make 142 to win, but for some time they were not at all sure of success. This is the first time for nine years that Notts has beaten Surrey. S u rrey . First innings.

Played at Brighton on May 27 and ‘28. Gloucestershire won by 228 runs. It is no wonder that the Gloucestershire team is popular, for quite apart from the profpects of seeing a startling innings by Mr. Jessop, spectators know that there will nearly certainly be some one on the side who will play a brilliant game. No one who was at Brighton on Monday could have been disappointed with the play of the Gloucestershire team, for there was delightful cricket by Wrathall and Mr. Sewell as an opening of the innings, and later one of Mr. Jessop’s must characteristic displays. In addition to this there was some excellent bowling by Relf, while Ranjitsinhji was in just long enough to show that he wm Quite his beet form. Wrathall and Mr. Sewell put on 6 Gin the first twenty-five minutes, and 86 in tnree-quarters of an hour before the latter was out lor an excellent i 8 . Wrathall continued to play in jus very best form, scoring at a great rate. He Drought his own score to 100 in an hour and ten minutes out of a total of 146, and eventually was ^ u.mPe^ -a near thing—for 135, liis innings having astea for two hours and five minutes. Bis hits included twenty, two 4’s. After he left Mr. Jessop aemoralized the Sussex bowlers for about lialf-an- nour Sussex were lucky in the way in which he was ut, tor the catch by Mr. Fisher which disposed of nimwould have bee missed by about nine men out of h» ’i w as a teft-handed catch in the long field off a a hit, bo near the boundary that Mr. Jessop was quite justified in appealing. Sussex did not begin their innings in a very promising manner, for Re.f and Killick did nothing, while Mr. Fry, who did not seem quite as much at home with the bowling as usual, only made 28, and Mr. Fisher was soon dis­ missed ; but Raojitsinhji and Mr. Goldie played out time, the former with 2 A to his credit and the latter with 39, the total being 96 for four wickets. A good detl seemed to depend on Ranjitsinhji on Tuesday, andhewasingreatf >rm. making his imantable strokes with *11his old etse. It must have been an anxious time for Gloucestershire when he got thoroughly well set, for Mr. Goldieshowed nosi*ns of getting excised, and was playing the bowling w th great co fl lence. But Ranjiisinbji was not destined to mike a hundred or two, and was dismissed for 65 which must have been regarded as cheaply by the fielding side. Mr. Gv>l ie continu. d to play fine crickec, but de-pite this Suss x seemed in an unsatisfactory posi'ion, lor they fetill had considerable leeway to make up. Ihe tail did not distinguish itself, and the innings ended 75 runs behind, vir. Goldie’s excellent display lasted four hours, and was quite invaluable to his side. In their second innings most of the Gloucestershire men did well, aud when stumps were drawn the visitors had a lead of 289 with a couple of wickets in hand, so taking intoconsideration the ability of the Sussexmen to play an uphill game, there seemed the prospect of a good finish. But something went wrong with the team yesterday, andMr. Jessop, bowling uncommonly well, dismissed Mr. Fry at 37, and soon afterwards had the extreme pleasure of getting Ranjitsinhji caught at the wicket for a duck’s egg. He had just previously disposed of Mr. Goldie, so that the three most dangerous men in the Sussex team had fallen to him. Nothing could withstand such success as this, and although Killick played admirably the end soon came. ' , G lou cestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. C. O. H.

London County won by 103 runs. Owing to the multitude of matches in the county championship Dr. Grace could only put a very weak team in the field, but it gave an excellent account of itself on Monday, getting three Cambridge wickets down for 40 against its own total of 290. The Doctor and Mr. Murdoch put on 87 for the first wicket, and Mr. Gale, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Smith all played useful innings. Cambridge, who were also weak, did better on Tuesday, but ended their innings a long wav behind. The feature of the County second innings was the battiog of Mr. W. Smith, who played remarkably good cricket for an hour and a-balf. Cambridge had to make 340 to win, hut found the t*sk far too heavy. Mr. Day and Mr. Driffield batted very well indeed.

ESSEX v. KENT. Played at Leyton on May 27, 28 and 29. Drawn. TW O SEPARATE HUNDREDS B Y CARPENTER. After their late heavy scoring Essex were not likely on a good wicket to go to pieces, and Kent foundthat they bad struck them at an unfortunate time, for on Monday only three Essex wickets fell while 399 runs were put on. This happy state of affairs for Essex was chiefly due to the splendid stand made by Mr. Perrin and Carpenter. They came together for the second wicket with the total at 19, and were not parted until it was 251, the partnership which thua produced 232 ruoa haviug lasted for thr^e hours and a quarter. A brilliant catch at mid-on by Mr. Dillon was the cause of the breaking of the partnership. Mr. Perrin, with Mr. McGahey at the other end, still continued to play fine cricket, the two men putting on 124 runs together in an hour and three-quarters. McGahey was very uncomfortable at first, buc event­ ually aettled down and carried his bat for 54. Pernn was within eaay reach of his second hundred when he ran out and was stumped ; his faultless innings lasted for five hours, and included twenty-six 4*8. At the close of the day the total was 399 for three wickets. On Tuesday the end came before lunch, Essex having made themselves perfectly secure ag*inst defeat. Kent had now to pl»y for a draw and splendid.y did they come out of the trial. Alec Hearne played a great innings, never hurrying himself in the least, for there was no necessity for htste, and found excellent partners in Humph eys, Mr. Browne and Mr. Marchant, the latter playing a brilliant innings. Thanks to these men the follow-on was sived, and then came the turn of Essex to pass away the time. They could hardly have lost if they had all tried to get out, and as they had no chance of winning, they contented themselves with making runs at their ease
