Cricket 1901

J u n e 6, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 189 KENT v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Gravesend on June 3,4, and 5. Kent won by 38 runs. There was som e remarkable cricket on the first, (lay o f this m atch. M r. Burnup and Hum phreys put up 69 for the K ent first wicket, and then Mr. Baker nit splendidly, while Hum phreys and A lec Hearne played careful cricket. M r. Baker drove trem endously hard on the off-side, being especial y severe on M r Fargus, off whom he scored 4i in three successive overs. Altogether he was at the wickets for eighty-five minutes and scored 89 runs out o f 127 ; his innings included seventeen 4’s, nearly all on the off side. A t lunch the score was 169 for tw o wickets, but a sur­ prising collapse ensued afterw ards,and the rem aining eight w ickets on ly increased the total by 73 runs. The breakdow n was due to th e fine bow ling of Boberts and Paish. This strange alteration in the appearance o f the gam e was follow ed by an equally strange collapse o f the G loucestershire m en, three w ickets falling for 20, and six for 39. W hen things were in this state Paish and M r. S A . P . K itcat cam e together and by w onderfully good cricket kept up their ends until stum ps w ere draw n, by w hich tim e the total had been raised to 114. On Tuesday m orning th ey both again played fine cricket, and were not separated until th ey had put on 112 runs in partnership. T hey in deed deserved well of their county. Thanks to their opportune stand the Gloucestershire total was w ithin m easurable dis­ tance of that o f K ent w hen the innings closed. Painh met w ith great success in the second innings of Kent, and no one could stand for long against him. Indeed, seven w ickets had fallen w hen the total was 79. M r. Blaker and Huish, how ever, m ade a m uch needed resistance to the bow ling, putting on 77 in an hour, and Gloucestershire had to m ake 199 to «in . Things w ent badly with them despite a fine innings by W rathall, and when stum ps were drawn five wickets had fallen fo r 127, M r. K itcat having once more helped his side very considerably. There was still a chance that Gloucestershire m ight win. but yesterday m orning the tail collapsed, M r. Bradley taking the five rem aining w ickets for 17 runs. K ent . First innings. C. J.

A RECORD FOR THE THIRD "WICKET. Played at Edgbaston on June 3, 4, and 5. Warwickshire won by an innings and 75 runs. A t the present tim e the W arw ickshire batting is about as strong as it has ever teen, and Lancashire, on losing the toss, had >*nexcellent chance o f studying it from every point o f view. A fter a brilliant opening o f the innings by Devey, and a short stay by Byrne, W . G. Q uaife cam e in to assist K inneir w ith the total at 50. A t the end of the day he was still assisting him , and the total had been raised to 329. The cricket played by the tw o m en could not be called exciting, but it was em inently safe, and at tim es Q uaife scored at a rate to w hich he is unaccustom ed. On an avt rage each batsm an scored at the rate o f thirty runs an hour, so that the bowling was never really knocked into a cocked hat. It was a great question whether the runs had been m ade quickly enough to give W arw ickshire m uch chance o f winning, but the Lancashire bowlers had had f nough o f it, and when play began on the follow ing m orning, runs came m uch m ore quickly. A t lunch tim e the total had been raised by over 200 runs, and the W arw ickshire captain o f course declared. The partnership between Q uaife and K inneir lasted for four hours and three quarters, and produced 327 runs. L illey m de his 66 in an hour and thirty-five m in­ utes, so that although the Lancashire bow ling was w orn out it was never punished very m uch. In their effort to m ake a drawn gam e m ost o f the Lancashire batsmen failed, but in the first innings Tyldesley played a great gam e. H e scored pretty quickly, his runs being m ade in tw o hours and twenty m inutes. The only m en w ho offered him m uch assistance were M r. G arnett and M r. Eccles, the form er’s innings o f 62 being put together in an hour and a half. T he tail by no m eans distinguished itself against Field. Again, in the second innings, Tyldesley played a splendid up-hill gam e, and received useful help from W ard, but at lunch tim e six wickets were dow n for 123, and the gam e seemed over. M r. H artley did his level best to save the gam e, but the issue was no longer in (’ oubt. W arw ickshire is to be greatly con­ gratulated on its brilliant display. W a r w ic k s h ir e .

So finely did Pearson and Bow ley open the W orcestershire innings after Leicestershire had been disposed of for a m oderate total, that when stum ps w ere drawn W orcestershire were on ly 77 runs behind w ith nine wicket9 in hand, a very happy position. T heir partnership for the first w icket produced 147 runs, of w hich B ow ley had m ade 93 by brilliant cricket. M r. W ood played a very sound innings w hen Leicestershire went in again, 70 runs behind, and he and K night put on a hundred fo r the first w icket, so that their county started clear again. W hen stum ps were drawn I eicestershire were 202 runs on with four w ickets in hand, M r. W ood being not out 140. Yesterday M r. W o o d com pleted his innings for 156— a very valuable innings it w as to his side, and W orcester­ shire had to m ake 266 to w in. M r. P . E . Foster played a great innings, but except Bow ley and A rnold the rest o f the team fell to pieces. L eicestershire . First innings. Second innings. C. J. B .
