Cricket 1901

J o n e 13, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 197 T H E B O U R N E M O U T H W E E K . HAMPSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Bournemouth on June 7, 8 and 9. Hampshire won by four wickets. The value o f the presence o f Captain W ynyard in the Ham pshire team was w ell shown in this m atch, for after m aking a good score in the fitst innings, he was m ainly responsible for pulling the m atch out of the fire in the second when things had begun to look bad for his side. The all-round play o f Llewellyn was also o f very great use to Ham pshire, fo r e scored 83 and 38, besides takin? five wickets in the second innings for 76 runs. Barton played a great game in the first innings. F or K ent, Mr. Baker was in fine form in bo h innings, and Hum phreys and M r. M ason did w ell, but on tne w hole the batting was disappointing.

W hen the edge had been taken off the bow ling, M r. M itchell played a great innings, and later, Rhodes m ade a very useful 41 not out. But the extrem ely steady play by M r. T aylor and Brown fo r th e third w icket had a great deal to do w ith the happy position in which Y ork ­ shire found themselves at the end o f the day. The history o f the M iddlesex first innings m ay be told in a few words. A fter sam pling the different ends for an over each, Rhodes and H irst decided to change places, and from that tim e Rhodes was near.y irresistible. O f all the great M iddlesex batsm en, Mr. W arner alone was able to withstand him . H e, how ­ ever, played adm irable cricket, and for the second tim e this season carried his bat right through. Naturally, the Yorkshire captain decided to send M iddlesex in again, but although in the follow -on M r. W arner. M r. Haym an and M r. Beldam played splendidly, six wickets were dow n for 133, and it was anticipated that the m atch w ould be over before the Saturday. B ut w hen Hearne joined M r. Beldam , who, as usual, was playing a purely defensive gam e, matters began to am end, for the pair put on 74 runs together, H eaine by resolute hitting, and M r. Bel­ dam by picking out the right ball, and were still together when stum ps were drawn. O f course there was no likelihood o f a good finish on Saturday, but at any rate it was probable that the innings defeat w ould be saved, as M iddlesex were only 23 runs behind. A s it happened, the stand between H earne and M r. Beldam cam e to an abrupt conclusion, and M r. M acG regor was out when 14 runs were still required, so that the odds were that Yorkshire w ould not have to go in again. B ut Raw lin, wh * has often scored against bis old county, was in great form , and in partnership w ith Mr. Beldam seemed likely to set Yorkshire som ething considerable to do before w in­ ning. W hen the tw o batsm en seemed safest, Mr. Beldam ’s fine innings cam e to an end, and as the last wicket- produced nothing, Yorkshire only had to m ake 5» to win. Mr. Beldam ’s innings had lasted for three hours and a quarter. Yorkshire had reason to be thankful that their task was not harder, for they lost three w ickets in knocking off the runs.

YORKSHIRE. . at Lord’s on June 6, 7 and 8. York­ shire won by seven wickets. There was an im pression abroad before the m atch began that if any team was to low er the colours of Yorkshire at the present tim e it w ould be that of Middlesex. Possibly, if M iddlesex had won the toss they m ight have succeeded in so doing, but as things turned out there was only one team in it. On the first day Yorkshire kept in until stum ps were drawn, and had still tw o wickets in hand. Throughout the aay the batsm en were all so obviously in difficulties with the bow ling that the outlook w ia om inous for M iddlesex. H ardly a man on the side scored at his usual rate, w hile som e o f the team played a gam e Which w ould have aroused indignation if they had belonged to a slow -scoring county. Tim e after tim e vT ^ v16 succeeded in beating the batsm en, and if it *\ad been one o f his lucky days he m ight have taken or seven wickets at a m oderate cost. B ut there OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. SOMERSET­ SHIRE. Played at Oxford on June 6, 7 and 8. Somerset won by 233 runs. The chief reason for the success of Som erset was the fine bow ling of Cranfield and G ill in the first innings o f O xford, and the batting o f R obson and M r. L . C. H . Palairet. In the second innings of O xford M r. D illon played a m ost valuable innings, but he w as m issed several times. S o m ebsetsh ibe . F irst innings. R ev.A .

There were m any interesting phases in this match" In their first in nings feussex at one tim e stood at 255 for four w ickets, and a very big score seemed likely, since R anjitsinhji was still in, having nearly reached his hundred, and V ine had apparently settled dow n. Then cam e a sudden and rem arkable change. Ranjitsinhji was c«u gh t at deep square leg off M r. Jones, and Vine was caught and bow led by A nthony, w ho also bow led J. Bean fo r a duck’s egg— all at the same total, 255. Thus seven wickets were now down, and the last three only added £2 runs. Practically the w hole o f the scoring was done by four m en, M r. Fry and R elf putting up 101 for the second w icket, and R anjitsiuhji and M r. G oldie adding 80 in forty m inutes for the fourth. The Prince was som e­ what lucky in being m issed tw o or three tim es, but as a good deal o f rain had fallen during the previous night, batting was n ot exactly child’s play. Anthony m et w ith considerable success with the ball when he went on as last change. N otts did not do at all well when they w ent in at a quarter to five, and by half- past six five wickets were dow n for 106. T he first w icket pu t on 45, M r. Jones and Shrewsbury being both ou t at this total. On the second day the fortunes o f the gam e varied even m ore than they
