Cricket 1901

S e p t . ID, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. 4 2 ? tralia with Mr. Stoddart’s team. Of the bowlers there is not a single man who before a match in which his county was playing could feel confi­ dent that he would be put on first at one end or the other. As regard the batting it is notorious that men seldom do them­ selves j ustice on their first visit to Australia. It may be that the faster wickets will suit Mr. A. O. Jones, Mr. Jessop, and Mr.Gainett, Braund and Tyldesley, and if so they are likely to make a sensation. Again if W. G. Quaife can time the ball there is no reason why he should not keep going for days. Take off the bails and put the timbers by, And stand the willow in his upright bed, Yea, doff the prophylactic pad and cry, Cry “ Over ! ” for the cricket year is dead! The Pro., descending from his high estate, Now veils his godhead like a setting star ; And County Heroes deign to hibernate Disguised as publicans behind the bar. To half-forgotten themes we turn again, To politics, to books, to social modes, From Abel we adjourn to thoughts of Caine, And from the greater to the lesser Rhodes. — Punch .

Played at the Oval on September 16, 17& 18. Drawn. It will be remembered that thematch in the County ( hampionship between Surrey and Yorkshire was abandonedwithout aball being bowled, and that as a benefit to Lockwood it was quite useless. Afterwards the Yorkshire team very kindly indeed promised to play a match at the end of the season at the Oval on behalf of Lockwood, but, of course, it could not count in the County Champion­ ship. For once the clerk of the weather seemed to have taken a favourable view of the case, and the morning of Monday was so promising, so like a typical misty morning which is characteristic of the early autumn, that everyone felt sure that the three days would be fine. Certainly Monday was a lovely day, although it could not be con­ sidered as quite an ideal day for cricket, being a little too cold to make a spectator very keen to sit out all day in the open air. Neverthe­ less there have been many fine days during a summer when cricket has been played under less encouraging circumstances, and con­ sequently a large crowd assembled to see the rival counties who had not been able to bring either of their contests this year to an issue. The spectators were pleased that Surrey won the toss, and although the two great men of the team did nothing of any moment, there was good batting enough to satisfy the most enthusiastic. The terrible Hirst seemed to have struck oil at the commencement of the innings, for he promptly bowled H. K. Long­ man. But Abel and Hayes soon got on termswith him and the record scorer seemed to have comfortably settled down when the swerving Yorkshireman upset his wicket, and twogoodmenwereoutfor 40. Hayesnowbegan to play an admirable innings, driving every now and then with great power, and shewing a mastery over the bowling which was very satisfactory to the crowd. Lockwood received an ovation when he came to the wickets, and he did so well for a time that hopes were entertained that he would break through the run of bad luck which generally attendsbeneficiares in their ownmatches. But after a very good innings he was dismissed for 20. Hayward played well, and so did Holland, and Hayes still was going strong. When within two runs of his hundred he was beaten by a beautiful ball from Rhodes, after batting for three hours ; he was a good deal taken by surprise, for the ball only just touched the bail, and the umpire at the bowler’s end had to consult the umpire at the other end before a decision was given. The batting at the end of the day was very attractive indeed. Brockwell was in quite his old form, and his 51, made in just over an hour, was worthy of his very best days. Mr. Jephsonwas also in great form, and when he was joined by Richardson for the last wicket there was some exciting cricket, for 48 runs were knocked up in about half- an-hour. At the end of the innings stumps were drawn, and soon afterwards the rain, which had been threatening for some time, came down so heavily, and lasted for so long, that it seemed doubtful whether it would be possible to play on the morrow even if the morning were fine. Unhappily it was miser­ ably wet and therei was no play. The wicket was protected, however, and yesterday it played very well, so that the Yorkshiremen had no difficulty in making enough runs for honour. Tunnicliffe, Mr. Taylor, Hirst, Wainwright and Rhodes all played fine cricket. Lockwood bowled very well indeed. When the innings came to a conclusion Surrey had a gad half-hour against Hirst, and it was perhaps as well for them that the match was not played to a finish. S u r r e y . First innings.
