Cricket 1901

1 9 6 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 13, 1901 ESSEX v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Leyton on June 6, 7, and 8. Drawn. In this m atch both sides greatly distinguished themselves. It was no light task on w hich Essex entered before lunch on Friday, for w ith no possible chance of w inning they m ight easily have been beaten. T hey did fairly well on the day’s cricket, but in order to escape defeat it w ould be necessary for them to keep in all day on Saturday. This they did with great ease, thanks to excellent play by each o f the batsm en w ho w ent to the wickets, and w hen stumps were draw n they were in a very satisfactory position. F or the second tim e in succession W arw ickshire won the toss and m ade a big score, and although the tw o m en w ho m ade the splendid stand in the previous m atch only m ade 25 between them , the great batting strength o f the county was shown by the w ay in w hich m en were found to take their places. The reproach w hich has so often been levelled at the 'W arwickshire team could n ot be applied in this m atch, for in the first day’s cricket they scored 441 runs at an average o f about 80 per hour. W ith Y ou n g absent ow ing to an attack o f rheum atism , the Essex bow ling was found to be so weak that Carpenter and M r. M cG ahey had soon to be called upon, the latter seem ing to cause the batsm en more trouble th n all the rest o f the bowlers pu t together. T he stand by D evey and M r. Byrne fo r the second w icket, and another by M r. Fishwick and L illey for the fifth, were the chief features o f the innings. The tw o form er put on 131 and the tw o latter 192. A ll fou r m en played exceedingly attractive cricket, and none of them let the grass grow under his feet. D evey m ade his 111 in three hours. B y the tim e that M r. Fishwick and Lilley had got com fortable theie was very little stirg in the bow ling, and the tw o m en m ade hay o f it, their hitting being particularly fine. L illey was only at the wickets fo r iw o hours and a quarter for his 121. W hen stum ps were drawn seven wickets were dow n. The last three wickets gave considerable trouble and increased the total by nearly a hundred in about an hour, Charlesworth playing very taking cricket. Essex m en felt gloom y when their team seem ed quite unequal to the task o f m aking a drawn gam e o f it. Som ehow or other things did not go right, and although each succeeding batsm an seem ed to have settled him self dow n to staving for hours at the w icket, a w icket always fell, ana six m en were out w ith the total at 164. A t this stage o f the gam e it seem ed lon g odds that W arw ick­ shire w ould have a pretty easy victory, and although the tail did fairly w ell the innings was over for 219 at ten m inutes past five. F or the rem ainder o f the tim e Carpenter and M r. Owen kept up their wickets in the follow -on, the total at the end o f the day being 58. I t was now necessary for Essex to keep in at least nearly all day, and after Carpenter and M r. Perrin had been dismissed, M r. Owen and Mr. M cG ahey m ade a prolonged stand, the form er being at the w ickets for tw o hours and a half, and thus doing his side imm ense service. Then M r. Garrett and Mr. M cGahey w ent steadily on until their county w as alm ost safe from defeat. This partnership pro­ duced 158 in three hours. Possibly if either of the chances given by M r. Garrett had been taken, W ar­ wickshire m ight have w on after all. M r. Lucas played out tim e w ith M r. M cGahey, the latter carrying his bat fo r 130, m ade in five hours. In the circum stances under which his innings was played it was one o f the m ost valuable to his county during his career. W a r w ic k sh ir e . D evey, st Russell, b A . C. S.

The South Africans won by 9 wickets. T he ability to play an uphill gam e w hich has so often been shown by the visitors enabled them in this m atch to gain a brilliant victory. A fter Derby­ shire, on a good w icket on Thursday, had scored 305, the South Africans m ade 87 for tw o wickets. On Friday they seem ed in for a severe beating, for they had lost four m ore w ickets when the total was only 129. N ow was the tim e for the tail to distinguish itself, and it was not found wanting. M r. M urray Bisset and M r. H alliw ell kept together for an hour and a half, and w hen they were parted they had added 117 to the total. W hen M r. H alliw ell was dismissed the captain began to m ake the very most o f his opportunities, hitting very hard w hen the slightest opportunity presented itself, and when the ninth w icket fell he had the satisfaction o f seeing the total w ithin a run o f that o f Derbyshire. M r. K otze helped to add &8 fo r the last wicket, so that from »n awkward position the South Africans had em erged in trium ph. M r. Bisset’s fine innings cannot be too highly praised; it lasted for four hours and a quarter, and included nineteen 4*s. Some very effective bow ling b y Graham afterwards caused a breakdow n in the D erbyshire batting, and when the innings cam e to a close just before tim e the South A fricans were left to m ake 84 runs on Saturday, a task w hich, thanks to brilliant play by M r. Tancred, was easily accom plished. D e r b y sh ir e . First innings. Second innings. Else, c Tancred, b R^w e ... 0 n o to u t..................... 6 C. A . Ollivierre, c M .

SURREY v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY Played at Cambridge on June 6, 7 and 8. Surrey won by 115 runs. Surrey gave a rest to L ockw ood, Brockw ell and Hayes, but M r. Craw ford was again included in the team , and gave a splendid exhibition o f batting in the first innings w hich had m uch to do with the eventual success o f his side. H e h it w ith great vigour and treshness, his fine innings only lasting for an hour and forty m inutes, and including eighteen 4’s. Another fine innings was played by M r. L eveson-G ow er; it was in striking contrast to the innings o f M r. Craw ford, being rem arkable for patience and careful m ethod, but, of course, without the brilliant hitting o f the latter it w ould not have been possible. The batting o f what m ay be described as the regular m em bers of the Surrey team was m ost disappointing. The innings was brought to a con­ clusion just before stum ps were drawn. On Friday Cam bridge were dism issed fo r v58, that is to say, 84 runs behind, but as they had got rid o f M r Jephson, M r. Crawford and M r. L . W alker for 63 in the Surrey second innings they were by no m ea-s badly off w hen the day’s play ended On Saturday, Abel and Hayward played fine cricket, and W . C. Smith and M r. Jephson bow led well, so that Surrey had an easy victory. S urbf . y . First innings. Second innings. D . L . A . Jephson, run ou t 16 cFargus,bD ow son 12 Y . F. S.
