284 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 18 1901. SUSSEX v. ESSEX. AN INNINGS OF 219 BY RANJITSINHJI. Played at Brighton on July 15, 16, and 17. Drawn. Owing to the death of his father, C irpenter did not play in this match, and his place was taken by Reeves. As things turned out, Carpenter was not as much missed as he might have been, for all the Essex men were in great form, and although Mr. Perrin was the only man of them who made a hundred, the total was 370 for six wickets when stumps were drawn, so that there was not very much likelihood that Essex would be defeated. The longest and most interesting partnership of the day was that between Mr. Lucas and Mr. Turner, and produced 100runs in an hour and twenty-five minutes. Mr. Turner played his best innings of the year. In Mr. Perrin’s fine innings there was a vast difference between his play before and after lunch. Before lunch he made 68 out of 124 in an hour and a quarter ; afterwards in an hour and thirty-five minutes, he only made 33. But it was a great innings. Mr. Owen’s innings was valuable to his side, as it lasted for two hours and three quarters, and kept one end going while other men were scoring pretty quickly. The innings did not last very much longer on the next morning, but the total was raised to 442, Young hitting out very boldly and successfully. A t lunch time Sussex had scored 86 for the loss of a wicket. Unhappily for them the wicket was that of Mr. Fry, who failed to score. But Vine settled down as usual, and Ranjitsinbji was toon in magnificent form. The second wicket fell at 103. and then ensued a partnership between Ranjitsinhji and Mr. Goldie whrch the Essex men will look back upon as an object lesson. It produced 181 runs in an hour and three-quarters, both men playing the most attractive cricket imaginable. Ranjitsinhji continued to play magnificent cricket, making no mistakes and letting nothing off which could possibly be turned into a run. He was out just before stumps were drawn, having batted for four hours and a quarter; his innings included thirty-two 4’s. The total at the end of the day was 379 for six wickets. Yesterday the end cim e very suddenly, and Essex had a lead of 45. Against the bowling of Tate and Relf they could not make much headway in their second innings, and it was perhaps as well for them that there was not much time left when they got out. Sussex had to make 204 in two hours and a half, with the result that the match was drawn. E s s e x . First innings. H. G. Owen, b Tate ...........52 F. L. Fane, b G old ie...........20 P.

Captain Greig is rapidly proving himself to be one of the finest batsmen of the day. His innings of 114 against Leicestershire was exceedingly valu­ able, because until he was partnered by Mr. Barrett his comrades could make nothing of the bowling. But the partnership between the two officers realised 171 runs in a couple of hours, and when it was broken Hampshire was in an excellent position. Both men played admirable cricket, and had a complete mastery over the bowling. Captain Greig made his 114 in a little more than two hours and a half, and Mr. Barrett his 97 in a little over two hours. After the partnership was broken, W ebb played a good innings. By the end of the day Leicestershire had scored 132 for the los9 of Mr. De'Trafford, Mr. Wood being not out 34, and Knight not out 66. There was a succession of long partnerships on the next day, and at one time it seemed that the Hampshire total would be far exceeded. In the second innings of Hampshire Mr. Robson and (’apt. Greig made a brilliant commencement, the latter being out just before stumps were drawn, when the totil had been brought to more than a hundred. The Captain played fine cricket, but Mr. Robson had a good deal of luck. Yesterday Mr. Sprot played a great innings, and in the end Hampshire were able to set Leicester­ shire the task of making 278 in three hours. Llewellyn was in great form with the ball, and Hampshire won a brilliant victory just before time. H a m p s h ir e . First innings. C.

THE WORCESTERSHIRE MATCH. SEVENTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Worcester on July 15, 16, and 17. Result: a tie. A t the end of the first day’s plav, the South Africans left off with a considerable advantage, for they had got out six of their opponents for 121 against a total of 293. The only big innings o f the day were played by Mr. Hathorn and Mr. Shalders, who have proved themselves two of the finest batsmen in the team. Mr. Halliwell was not able to play on account of a damaged hand. On the next morning the Worcestershire tail, especially Bannister, did well, and in the end the South Africans only had a lead of 69. They did nothing remarkable in their second innings, and Worcestershire had to face a total of 210 . This on a wicket which was helping the bowlers was not altogether promising, and when, at the close of the day, five wickets had fallen for 14, things did not look well for Worcestershire. But yesterday morn­ ing Mr. Simpson- Hayward, who was not out 12 over­ night, played excellent cricket and found such a useful partner in Gaukrodger that the position began to appear hopeful. But the amateur was disposed of, and when Bannister, the ninth man, came, Worces­ tershire still required 32 to win. By good play the score was taken to 9 to win. and then Gaukrodger was caught in the slips. Banoister and W ilson brought the score to a tie ami 1 the greatest excite­ ment, and then Mr. Murray Bisset did a smart piece of stumping which saved his side. S o u t h A f r ic a n s .
