Cricket 1901

A u g . 16, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. 349 wickets, so that whatever might happen on the morrow Su sex had derived no harm from being forced to take first innings. As things turned out the wicket helped thebowlers a good deal at first. Ran- jitsinhji only increased his score by four, his entire innings having lasted for five hours and ten minutes ; it included twenty-nine 4’s. In his last two innings he has scored 489 for once out. At lunch time, when the total was 457 for seven wickets, 8ussex declared, leaving Lancashire a tremendous task. At half-past twelve it began to rain very gently, and when Lancashire went in they had a wet wicket to bat on, and did better than had been anticipated. Naturally the batsmen were in no hurry to make runs, as there was no earthly chance that Lancashire could win. Mr. Maclaren, Tyldesley, Ward and Hallows all kept up their wickets for some time, and when stumps were drawn the total was 197 for six wickets. This was increased by just another hundred runs yesterday morning, Jdibbert and Cuttell both doing well, Bain stopped play two or three times, and there was very little chance of briog- ing the match to a conclusion.

This match had been arranged to take place at Welbeck, on the grounds in front of tbe Abbey, on the invitation of the Duke of Portland, who is President of the Notts County C.C. As the ground is three miles from the nearest railway station special arrangements were made for the conveyance to it of players and spectators. Despite showers in the morning there was apretty good attendance. It was only possible to play for about two hours and a quarter owing to storms, and in that time Notts scored 122 for the loss of Mr. Jones, who without being quite as aggressive as usual, played a most attractive game for his admirable 72. Ireraonger was not out 44. having, for the fourth time in suc­ cessive innings, helped Mr. Jones to put up over a hundred for the first Notts wicket. This time the score was 119 before the first wicket fell. On the next morning Iremonger played a great game and brought his total to 108, after batting altogether for three hours and three-quarters. (Shrewsbury also played a very fine innings indeed, and was nearing his hundred, when the innings was closed at 300 for 6 wickets. The partnership between Shrewsbury and Iremonger produced 112 in an hour and forty minutes. It was soon evident that the Notts captain had not done unwisely, for the bowlers at once began to have the upper hand, and five wickets were down for 34, Mr. L. G. Wright alone showing any effective resistance to the bowling of Wass. The next five wickets fell for an addition of 10runs. Of the second innings there is the same tale to tell asfar as play on Tuesday is concerned. Nobody could do anything with Wass, and when stumps were drawn four wickets for 22, which meant that Derbyshire were still 234 runs behind. It was not possiole to resume play yesterday until three o’clock,when Derby­ shire took up their hopeless task again. Five wickets had fallen for 53when at,about four o’clock,rain again stopp d play; but Derbyshire were not to b° saved by r in, and it wa possible to finish the match. N o tts . A. O.

Played at Bramall Lane on August 12,13 & 14. Abandoned. 7/ On the first day of this match, play only lasted for about an hour and a half during which Yorkshire made the most of theip/opportunities, Brown and Tunnicliffe putting on m for the first wicket without being separated. Albert Trott was on the ground, but was still unable to take his place in the Middlesex team, which was accordingly very much handicapped. On a slow, but not very difficult wicket, Yorkshire did exceedingly well on the next day, Denton and Mr. Mitchell putting on 101 for the fourth wicket, both men playing particularly good cricket. The tail once more distinguished itself, Lord Hawke and Mr. Ernest Smith ' oth being in great form, and adding 100 runs during their partnership in less than an hour. It was not a hopeful look-out for Middlesex when they went in, and after an adjournment from a shower they did badly, losing three wickets for 62. Almost for the first time this season rain came to the assistance of a team opposing Yorkshire, and yester­ day no p:ay was possible. Y o r k sh ir e . Brown,cMore.bHeame 33 Tunnicliffe, c R.

It was only possible to play for 20 minutes btfore lunch on Monday and during that time Kent lost both Mr. Burnup and Mr. Dillon for 12 runs. Rain interrupted pLy soon afterwards, and wh n the game was resumed at three o’clock the wicket was easy for a time. Mr. Day and Alec Hearne made good use of their opportunities, and put on 91 in an hour and forty minutes. There were other interruptions from rain, and when stumps were drawn the total was 114 for four wickets. Tbere was a breakdown on Tuesday morning, and the last six wickets ouly produced 41 runs. Gloucestershire began v^ry well indeed with Wrathall and Mr. Rice, and when the former was out for 25, Mr. Brown played a splendid innings, rapidly scoring 65, while his pariner, Mr. Rice, steadily kept up his wicket. When Mr. Brown was out the total was 127, which was only 28 behind that of Kent. Then rain came down and interrupted play for an hour and a quarter. Then cricket was possible for half-an-hour, followed by an interruption for a quarter of an hour, and when stumps were drawn the total was 166 for six wickets. Yesterday morning Mr. Champain played well, and in the end Gloucester­ shire had a lead of 49. When Kent had made 17 without loss in their second innings, rain came down and the match was abandoned.
