Cricket 1902

M a y 15, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 133 WARWICKSHIRE v. SURREY. Played at Edgbaston on May 8 , 9 and 10. Drawn. Although the wicket was slow, from the heavy rains, when Warwickshire went in to bat, the weather was so cold that the bowlers and fieldsmen were greatly handi­ capped, with the result that Warwickshire made a fine total. Devey, Quaife, Lilley, Charlesworth, Santall, and A. C. S. Glover all helped greatly towards this desirable result. Surrey had half an hours’ batting, and in that time lost Abel, the total for one wicket being 27. There was very little play on Friday, Surrey only did moderately well, losing three more wickets, and bringing the total to 143. Lockwood was not out 33, and Hayes played very well indeed for 40. On the next morning Lockwood continued to play good cricket, while V. F. S. Crawford put together a very useful 43 in half an hour, but when the innings ended Surrey were 98 runs behind. In their second innings, Warwickshire, thanks to Devey and Charles- worth were able to declare with only three wickets down, leaving Surrey to make 201 in two hours. When two wickets had fallen for 22 , there was a chance that they might lose, but Abel and Lockwood then proceeded to play out time. W arwickshire . First innings. Second innings.

First innings. Second innings. M.C.C. & GROUND v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 8 , 9 and 10, under the proposed new lbw rule. Drawn. The weather quite spoiled this match. On the first day there was only time for the M.C.C. to make 32 runs for the loss of W. L. Murdoch. Unfortunately for Lancashire, there was also time for Barnes to injure his knee again, and after bowling two overs and five balls, he retired from the match. By the consent of Dr. Grace, Broughton was allowed to take his place in' the Lancashire team. The second day’scricket was much interrupted by rain, but the M.C.C. completed their innings, Webb being in splendid form with the ball. On the first day he did not take a wicket, but on the second day he tooTf eight wickets for only 29 runs. There was a,full day’s cricket on Saturday, but there was very little chance at any time of finishing the match. Several of the Lancashire men batted well, but the feature of the day’s cricket was the partnership of the two veterans, W. G. and W. L. Murdoch. This produced 120 runs in an hour and-a-half. Both men played the very soundest cricket, and showed a complete mastery over the bowling. It may be stated that Mr. Eccles entered on his duties as captain of the team, and that A C. Maclaren and Mold did not appear for the county. M.C.C. First innings. Second innings. W . G. Grace,c Webb, b Steel 24 not o u t ................. 61 W . L.

W . secured themselves from defeat by keeping at the wickets for three hours when they won the toss. It was not exhilarating cricket to watch, but it showed a good deal of wisdom. All hope of finishing the game had gone when Yorkshire went in, for they could not be made to follow on even if they had broken down completely. As it was Brown and Tunniclifie were disposed of cheaply and then Mr. Jackson and Mr. Taylor nearly played out time, both being in fine form. It was delightful to see Mr. Jackson once more showing all his old skill and resource; he was at the wickets for two hours and twenty minutes for his 101 not out. E ssex . H.G.

Even worse at Leyton than at Lord’s, the weather ruined this match, and it was only possible to play on the third day. With such fine bowlers as Rhodes, Hirst and Haigh on a damaged wicket to deal with there was no certainty that the match would not after all be brought to a conclusion, but Essex T H E A U S T THE MATCH AGAINST NOTTS. (s e co n d OF THE TOUR.) Played at Trent Bridge on May 8 , 9 and 10. Australians won by an innings and 4 runs. The Australians were not long in showing that they could play an uphill game with as much determination as their predecessors. In the Crystal Palace match they were in a very tight place, but got out of it with credit, and at Nottingham things were going badly with them in their first innings, when they pulled up in a wonderful manner, and eventually brought off a startling victory. For the credit of this they had not to thank the great men of the team (except the cap­ tain) so much as the new members, who proved themselves more than worthy of their Australian reputations. It seems probable that when Hill and Co. get going, and when Trumble comes in, the team will be exceed­ ingly strong, with any amount of bowling, and no tail to speak of. The Notts men greatly distinguished themselves on the first day of the match. They kept up their wickets until just before stumps were drawn, and made what against Australian bowling was an excellent total. A. O. Jones led the way with a really beautiful innings, and then Shrewsbury, after taking twenty minutes to play himself in before he made his first run, gave an exhibition of the game which was almost worthy of his best days; he made most of his runs very slowly, but showed all the gracefulness of style for which
