Cricket 1901

294 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 25, 1901. MIDDLESEX v. SUSSEX. Played at Lord’s on July 18, 19, and 20. Middlesex won by 193 runs. A team which hss to bat fourth at Lord’s this year has not often much chance of distirguishing itoeif, and the Sussex men found that on a wicket which was wearing at one end their task of makiog 839 in tbiee hours and three-quarters was a good deal too great for them. W ith the exception o f Mr. Fry, their finest batsmen did not cover themselves with glory in either inning?, Ranjitsinbji only making about 10 in each innings, while Vine, who has in match after match held on to his end for hours, was out for 3 and 0. and Mr. Goldie did very little. Even Mr. Newham, who has generally done something of note this year, wss out of luck. Mr. Fry's first innings was a splendid effort, although he was not quite at his best, and could never taiethebow lir g in charge in the way which he cften does, even when the bowling is mag­ nificent and ihe wicket poor. On the other side Mr. W arnei’s first innings stood out very prominently, and was a masleipiece. There was a lot cf good tatting in the Middlesex second innings, and the SusEex bowlers hardly rose to the occasitn. M id d l e s e x . First innings. Second innings. P.F.

ESSEX v. LANCASHIRE. c a r p e n t e r ’ s BE N EFIT M A T C n. Played at Leyton on July 18, 19 and 20. Drawn. It was anticipated that the popularity o f Carpenter would have drawn large crowds to Leyton to see this match, but possibly the perfoimances cf Lancashire th s year have not teen sufficiently good to induce ihe suburban rfsidents to turn out, or it may have been that they Ihought the power of the sun was too great to be borne without shelter. Be this as it may they did not appear in large numbers. It cannot be* said that the batting of the Essex men as a team was very attractive when they went in first, for although Mold was absent from the Lancashire team on account cf a strain, the other Lancashire bowlers kept them very quiet indeed. The best and most pleasing batting of the day was seen when Mr. Kort­ right and Mr. Lucas were together; they put on 102 runs in an hour and ten minutes, and were com­ pletely masters of the situation. Afterwards Reeves and Young made things exceedingly lively. But the two great batsmen of the team were wofully disappointing. Mr. McGahey only made 20 in an honr, while Mr. Perrin was at the wickets for an hour and twenty minutes for bis 24. A t one time Essex seemed in a very bad way indeed, for half the wickets were down for 161. Mr. Steel bowled uncommonly well, although he was a good deal knocked about by Reeves and Young. Lancashire had to bat for three- quarters of an hour, ard in that time put up 74 for the loss of Ward. 3V1r. Garnett being not out 46, and Bibbert not out 13. On the next morning Mr. Garnett did not last for long, lu t his entire innings waa admirable. Hibbert was going strong for his hundred when be was run out. It was not until B allows and Broughton came together that the bowling was quite mastered, but their partnership completely altered the appearance of the game. It produced 207 iuns in two hours and twenty-five minutes, during which both men played very good cricket indeed, although Broughton, through nervi us- nes9. WPS not at aJl comfortable at first Bar. MacLaren, having injured a finger, did not bat. Lancashire h^d a lead of 123 runs, but 41 of these were knocked off by Carpenter and Mr. Fane before stumps were drawn, so that there was a reasonable prospect that the game would be drawn. On the third morning the two batsmen brought the score to J34 before being separated, so that any danger of defeat for Essex was practically out of the question; the runs were made in an hour and three-quarters, so that, as may readily be imagined, the cricket was much more attractive than it had been in the first innirgs. A t lunch time the score was 106 for two wickets, Carpenter being not out 101 and Mr. McGahey not out 22. A ll hopes of winning had now been taken away from the Lancashire men, but on the other hand, the wicket was still so good that there was very little chance that Essex could have got Lancashire out if they had declared their innings, which they might easily have done about a couple of hours before |time. The result was .that the Essex men were batting all day, Carpenter playing a splendid innings of 119 in three hours and a half, and Mr. Garrett and Mr. Lucas doing finely. E s s e x . First innings.

These two teams were exceedingly well matched, and at the end of the first innings they were almost level. But while nearly every man on the Gloucester­ shire side helped considerably towards the big total made by tbe county, the Notts tail cut up badly, and only three men distinguished themselves. But as two of them, Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury, played magnifi­ cent cricket, and each got well towards their second hundred, this did not much matter. On the second evening there did not seem the slightest prospect that the match would be brought to a conclusion, for Gloucestershire with three wickets in hand in their first innings w<6te only £6 runs behind, and it seemed long odds that Notts would not be able to make runs quickly enough on the morrow to give them a ghost of a chance of winning. When the Gloucestershire innings was eventually brought to a conclusion the chance8 were less than ever, for the big total made by Notts had been exceed'd by 12. But so finely did Mr. Jones, J. Gunn, and Mr. Lixon bat when Notts went in again, and b o quickly did they make runs, that Notts was able to declare when three wickets were down at ten minutes to five, and give Gloucester­ shire the impossible task of making 225 runs. As things turned out they had an anxious time for wickets fell rapidly, and at six o’clock six men were out for 94. But Paish and Board then made a most valuable stand, and the danger of defeat was over. N o t t s . First innings. Second innings.
