Cricket 1901

A u g . 29, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 383 scoring 106out of 172runs. Mr. Woods boldly declared ■when bis side was 244 runs on, the fear of Mr. Jessop not being before his eyes. As things turned out his policy was most' successful. Mr. Jessop was out before be was really dangerous, and although Mr. Brownlee played what was, under the circumstances, a great innings, while Mr. Brown again did well, Somerset won a splendid victory.

L O N D O N C O U N T Y v . W A R W IC K S H IR E . P layed at the C rystal Palace on A u gu st 26, 27 and 28. D raw n. For this match Dr. Grace had got together a pretty strong team, with considerable variety in the way of bowling, even though it was not all of the finest quality. No play took place on Monday owing to rain. On Tuesday he wisely won the toss and went in first himself, to play an excellent innings. Brockwell made a useful 22, and at lunch time the score was 135 for two wickets, the Doctor himself having scored 68 not out. Be was not, however, destined to score another hundred, although he got very near it, but his innings was worthy of himself. Mr. McGahey was in great form, and tbiogs went very m ell witn the home team. McGahey played a very careful game and was three hours and ten minutes making his 99 not out, which was his score when stumps were drawn with the total at 283 for five wickets. Yesterday he was out for 115, his innings having lasted for four hours. Mr. Sinclair was in such splendid form that it made one regret more than ever that he was not himself until nearly the end of the South African tour. He made .108not out in about an hour, his hits including three 6’s and fourteen 4’s. He hit four 4’s off an over from Field, and after reaching his 50 in forty-five minutes hit three successive fours off Whittle, and then drove Hargreave out of the ground. With very little chance of finishing the match the Doctor declared before lunch. The War­ wickshire men never for a moment looked like losing, and all who went in made runs with ease. Devey played a splendid innings. L ondon C o u n ty . W. G. Grace, b Field.. 76 W. G. Grace, jun., c and b Hargreave ... 5 Brockwell, c George, b Hargreave................22 C.

Owing to heavy rain, at about eleven o’clock, there was no play on the first day. On Tuesday morning Worcestershire made an unfortunate beginning, losing Mr. R. E. Foster for one, and Bowley for eight, and although Mr. H. K. Foster played very fine cricket, the bowlers always had the best of the situa­ tion, and at lunch time nine wickets were down for 116, the inniDgs coming to an end shortly afterwards. The Hampshire men were about to go in when rain came down and stopped play for the day. Yesterday Mr. Spiot played fine cricket, but the cricket was greatly in favour of the bowlers. Worcestershire had a lead of 9 runs. Mr. H. K Foster and bowley made asplendid stand, and Worcestershire declared, leaving very little time for play. W orcestersh ire . First innings. Second innings.

It was but a poor team which the M.C.C. was able to place in the field against the champion County, and it included some players whose names are not familiar to cricketers, and others who do not regularly piay in first-class cricket. One of the un­ familiar names was that of Mr. H. J. Stevenson, but the reason why he is not well known is, not that he is a poor cricketer, but that his criiket ischiefly confined to Scotland, where for a longtime he has been known as a very fine player. Burns, who has for years ceased to play for the Essex eleven, was on the side of the M.C.C. On the first day it was impossible to play owing to torrents of rain at a little before twelve o’clocK. The M.C.C. went in first on Tuesday and made rather a hash of it at first, but Thomson hit up 23 quickly. It was a bowler’s wicket and, of course, the Yorkshiremen knew how to make use of it, Rhodes making his presence very plainly felt by the tail. Mr. Jones and Carlin both played very good cricket indeed. The Yorkshiremen for some time had nothing to boast of when they went in, but Hirst played delightful cricket, and when stumps were drawn Ihe total was 185 for seven wickets. This did not look very formidable, but yesterday Mr. Ernest Smith and Rhodes upset all calculations. The latter, who would undoubtedly have been a very fine bats­ man if he had not been a great bowler, made the highest score of his life in first-class cricket, and made it very quickly. Mr. Smith’s innings was admirable in all respects. The M.C.C. had now a very formidable task, and most of the batsmen failed, Mr. H. Leveson-Gower and Burns alone maning a good stand against the bowling; the former played very fine cricket indeed. M.C.C. and G round . First innings. Second innings. Rev. F. A. G.
