Cricket 1901

274 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 18, 1901, “ firm ” forty years ago as are now the names of Abel and Hayward of Surrey, and Fry and Ranjitsinhji of Sussex. The two men were nearly always spoken of in connection with each other, and by their wonderful batting they made their county famous in the cricket world. Public opinion could never decide which of the great trio of batsmen—Richard Daft, Car­ penter and Hayward—was the best, but there was never any question that they were all great. It will be seen from the accompanying records that Carpenter’s big scores were sufficiently numerous to have attracted attention even in these days, and as he played during a period which has been described as the golden age of bowlers—probably the golden age would only have been the silver age if wickets had been as good then as they are now—it is remarkable that he should have done so well. Carpenter represented the Players on eighteen occasions against the Gentle­ men, making his debut in the match in 1859 and appearing for the last time in 1873. He commenced twenty - eight innings, was not out once, and scored 723 runs at an average of 26-77. He twice exceeded the hundred in the Oval match, making 119 in 1860 and 106 in 1861 ; he generally scored largely at the Oval, and the match on that ground in 1861 between Surrey and Cambridgeshire will never be forgotten by Surrey men who witnessed it. Julius Csesar scored 50 and 111 for the home team, whilst for the visitors Car­ penter made 100 and 15 and Hayward 108 and 46, the two last-named adding 212 runs whilst together for the third wicket in the first innings. Cambridge­ shire’s victory by two wickets on that occasion was almost wholly due to the batting of the two cracks, for Tarrant, before whom wickets generally fell rapidly, was responsible for one victim only, and that at a cost of 78 runs. Coming prominently before the public in 1858, the year of his first appearance at Lord’s, he kept in quite the forefront of batsmen for over ten years. Of his style of play “ Scores and Biographies” says : “ He is a fine and powerful hitter, with great caution and self-possession, his style being entirely back, seldom playing forward, though hitting well to all parts of the field. A favourite stroke is to square-leg, and in 1860 in the match between the Gentlemen and the Players at the Oval he made a fquare-leg hit clean over the palings out of the ground.” As a fieldsman at point Carpenter must be placed in the same category as Messrs. R. T. King and E. M. Grace. Old cricketers are all agreed that the way in which he would ehoot out either hand and make a tremendously hot catch when the ball was a yard and a-half from him ■was something to see—and remember— only you couldn’t see i t ; it was done too quickly. Carpenter’s innings on fiery and rough and bumpy wickets, when shooters abounded, and when all hit shad to be run out, stamp tiim as one of the finest batsmen of his own or any age. W . A.
