Cricket 1901

300 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 25, 1901. MIDDLESEX v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Aigburth (Liverpool) on July 22, 23, and 24. Abandoned. The Middlesex team had plenty of time during the first day’s play in this match to muse upon the changes and chances of the game of cricket, for although their bowlers, on a wicket which was slow at first on account of heavy rain overnight, might have carried everything before them, a dropped catch at the com­ mencement of Tyldesley’s innings stood for hours in their way. Tyldesley gave a very easy chance when his score was only four, and thereafter he made runs with rapidity, while all the rest of the team were thankful f >r the smallest mercies. He was at the wickets for three hours and a half, and got within thirty runs of his second hundred. No one else scored more than 34, and this was made by one of the tail, who hit boldly. Tyldesley took his chances and was mifised two or three times, but he played just the right sort of cricket for the occasion. Middlesex, who were without Mr. Warner and Mr. Hayman, had to go in for threequarters ofan hour and losttwo good wickets, so that the outlook for the next morning was not promising. None of the finest batsmen in the team could get going when the game was resumed, but towards the end of the innings More made a very plucky and very valuable 41 not out. Lancashire had a lead of 167, but decided to go in again. Thanks to good batting by Ward, Hallows, Mr. Steel and Tyldesley, they were able to set Middlesex the task of making 406 to win. Middlesex had a few minutes’ batting, and lost a wicket for 4 runs. Fortunately for them the rain came down heavily in the night, and no play took place yesterday. L an cash ire . First innings.

It was a very happy thought of the Yorkshire committee to include Brown, of Darfield, in the team for this match, and a fortunate thing for the county that the captain lost the toss. For as things happened Notts had all the worst of a wicket on which rain had fallen, and by the time the Yorkshire tail had its chance it had got into splendid order. The reinstated bowler proved of the utmost value to his side; he kept up a gieat pace, and took seven wickets for 54 runs, although at one time his analysis shewed no wickets for 45 runs, so that, when he once made a start, his wickets only cost him about a run apiece. By the.time that stumps were drawn Yorkshire had exceeded the Notts total by two runs, with five wickets still in hand, Hirst being not out 35 and Haigh not out 4. An astonishing change came over the game on the next morning, for these two batsmen soon became completely masters of the situation, and1 Haigh began to make another strong bid for the hundred which he so nearly reached the other day. This time he had not the disappointment of just missing it. Hirst was in great form and Lord Hawke also made runs. The partnership between Hirst and Haigh produced 205 runs in two hours and ten minutes, and that between Lord Hawke and Haigh 146 in about an hour and a half. Lord Hawke played a very fine innings. Notts did very badly in their second innings, although Mr. Dixon, J. Gunn, and Mr. Jones did their best to put a good appearance on the game, but just before half past six the innings was over.

There was some rain at Worcester on Sunday night* and scores were not large during the day, although Mr. Burnup and Mr. Dillon made a splendid com­ mencement of the Kent innings after Worcester­ shire had been at the wickets for nearly four hours, Mr. Burnup was not out 54, and Mr. Dillon, not out 31, and the Kent total 94 for no wicket. They con - tinued to play remarkably good cricket when the game was resumed on Tuesday and werenot separated until the totil was 210. They had run a close race, and both seemed almost certain to reach the hundred, but Mr. Dillon just failed. Mr. Burnup’s 102 was made in three hours, and Mr. Dillon’s 99 in three hours and ten minutes. After this brilliant start, Mr. Mason, Alec Hearne and Mr. Blaker all did well, and the result was a lead of 117 on the first innings. Worcestershire lost a wicket for 59 before stumps were drawn, so that they were by no means badly off. Rain caused the match to be abandoned yesterday. W o r c e s t e r s h ir e . H.K.

Played at D erby on July 22, 23, and 24. Abandoned. Derbyshire gave a good all-roumd display of batting on Monday, on a wicket on which some rain had fallen, and at the close of the day there was not much to choose between the teams. The chief feature of the Derbyshire innings was the brilliant batting of Mr. Lawton, who made 54 in less than half an hour when runs were badly wanted, his partnership with Chatterton producing 69 runs. Chatterton and Mr. Wright played very well indeed, and Hulme made a most useful 34 in twenty minutes. Mr. Kitcat was run out soon after the Gloucestershire innings began, and before stumps were drawn Wrathall was disposed of The total was then 88. Things did not go very well with Gloucestershire on Tuesday morning, until Mr. W . S. A. Brown and Board got together, when a much needed stand was made. In the end Derbyshire had a lead of 49, which seemed likely to come in useful. Mr. Lawton again played splendid cricket, and in an hour and a quarter put up 91. But for his brilliant hitting, Gloucestershire might have pulled off the match before the rain came. As it was Derbyshire were in an excellent position when stumps were drawn, having finished their second inniDgs, and leaving Gloucestershire to make 288to win. There was no chance ol playing yesterday. D erbyshire . First innings. Second innings. L. G.
