Cricket 1901

A u g . 2 9 , 1 9 0 1 . CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 3 8 1 of the most dependable batsmen in the eleven. This season he has done far better, and though still not high in the averages, he has an advance on his figures of twelve months ago, and has done some very excellent service with the ball, taking twenty-five wickets as against nine. The victory over Sussex at Brad­ ford was very largely due to a revival of his very best bowling, and he, with the advantage of a crumbling pitch, was unplayable. One regrets that so emi­ nently useful a cricketer should be now dropping out of first-class cricket, but he has decided to do so, and carries with him a very full measure of public regard and appreciation. Hampered by lameness all the season, more or less, though it only become sufficiently serious to cause the inter­ vention of a doctor at the end of July, Haigh has naturally not done himself anything like justice, and considering the fact, that he has, comparatively, done little with the ball, the magnificent success of the whole team is all the more remarkable. Last year he took 145 wickets at an average cost of 14*16, this year he claims no more than 49 at an average of 22*09. Still, and in spite of his lameness, he has at times shown all his old cleverness, and his bowling against Essex at Leeds, against Notts at Trent Bridge, and againstDerbyshire at Glossop, was quite of his best. With the bat, Haigh, who had last season shown great improvement, has still further advanced, and accomplished a very keen ambition against Notts at Sheffield, when reaching his first three-figures. A year ago his batting average was only 17'70, now it is 27 54, one of the most notable improve­ ments in figures shown on the whole side. Of the others, Mr. Ernest Smith has come into the team very opportunely, and although not so successful as one had hoped with the ball, has played some very useful innings, notably at Brighton, and an innings of vastly different sort at Sheffield against Middlesex. Hunter has again done well with the bat as eleventh man, and, indeed, for a long time held first place in his county’s averages. Behind the wicket he is still capable of extremely good work, and has had a capital season. Last seasontheYorkshire championship averages were headed by Whitehead with 70*00 for seven innings ; this time he has done far more service, playing no fewer than 21 innings, and again coming out with excellent figures for a twelfth man. He has proved of material service as an all-round player, and, on occasion, has shown the qualities of pluck and resolute­ ness to a very marked degree. Lord Hawke is left to the last. What part he has played in the triumph which has attended the team can really only be adequately understood by members of the eleven. He has once again captained it with both perfect tact and complete ability; and, in the one great trial of all captains, viz., the changing of bowling, has scored many successes. The most popjilar personality on the cricket-field to-day, Yorkshiremen are extremely fortunate in having one at their head who not only sets them so admirable an example, but who also looks so well after their interests, and there is not a member of the team who would not strain every nerve for his slightest wish. So far as his personal share of the success gees, Lord Hawke has more than recovered the ground he lost last year. He then only scored 513 runs in the whole county campaign, with an average of no more than 17*10; now he has an aggregate of 691, and an average of 25*59. Such figures, for one who first came into the team in the season of 1881, are in every way admirable, and many people would be extremely glad if, before the en of the season, ho managed also to claim his thousand runs.
