Cricket 1902

150 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 2 2 , 1902. SUSSEX v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on May 15, 16 and 17. Abandoned. Under the most disheartening circum­ stances the county season at Old Trafford was opened last week on the Thursday, but it was only possible to play for half-an-hour. In this time Lancashire scored 28 for the loss of Ward’8 wicket, Maclaren being not out 16. On the following day two runs only were added to the total before rain caused the game to be adj oumed until Saturday. .Sat­ urday also was wet and it was only possible to play for a short time, during which Lanca­ shire managed to complete their innings. There was never the slightest prospect that the match would be brought to a conclusion ; hence the Sussex captain did not trouble to change his bowling on Saturday until the score had been increased by 52 runs.

The University gave a good account of themselves during a short day’s cricket on Thursday last week, for when stumps were drawn they had got rid of half their opponents (including W. G., W. L. Murdoch and L. O. S. Poidevin) for 24 runs against their own total of 192. C. H. M. Ebden played a most attractive game, and Dowson, Blaker and Penn all made useful scores on a difficult wicket. Against the younger mem­ bers of the team W. G. met with considerable success with the ball, while Quaife came with a rush at the end of the innings. London County had to fight desperately soon after they went in, for Dowson was irresis­ tible with the ball. On the next morning rain prevented any play after one o’clock, but there was sufficient time for the ’ Varsity to dispose of the rest of the London County team and to begin their own innings, of which only an over had been bowled, off which two byes were scored, when play was abandoned for the day. Play on Saturday was confined to the period before lunch, and was chiefly noticeable for the good cricket shown by Dowson, who, in the course of an hour’s batting, put on 72 runs, his hits including ten fours.

It was a poor day’s cricket on Thursday of last week at Lord’s, and there was only two hours and a quarter’s play, during which Middlesex scored 83 for the loss of five wickets. For Middlesex, Captain A. P. Douglas, a brother of the better known players R. N. and James, made his first appearance, and playing an exceedingly patient game, kept up his wicket during all the time available for play, scoring at the rate of about 11 runs per hour. Of course it was a very useful innings from the point of view of a Middlesex man, and it was not Douglas’8 fault if no one was able to make a long staywith him. On the next day there was only an hour’s cricket at Lord’s, during which the Middlesex tail broke down badly, although G. F. S. Griffin saved it frombeing completely routed. At the endof the innings rain came down and play was abandoned for the day. There was some pretty cricket on Saturday by Mason, Alec Hearne and Hum­ phreys. Rain fell at one o’clock, but playwas resumed after a quarter of an hour, and was continued until just before lunch. It was possible to go on with the game at the usual time, but when the Kent total was 197 for eight wickets there was another heavy down­ fall. Mason then declared, but it was im­ possible to play again. M iddlesex . G.F.S.Griffin.cBlythe, b W right.......... ... 32 G.

Played at the Oval on May 15, 16 and 17. Abandoned. No play was possible at the Oval on the first day of this match, while on the second day there was less than an hour’s cricket, Surrey scoring 35without loss. Mr. Jephson took Abel with him to the wicket and both men played a steady game. After about half an hour it began to rain, and there was an adjournment for fifteen minutes, to be followed by another short interval of batting which ended at a quarter to one o’clock, after which there was no more play. On Saturday morning the cricket was very slow for a time, and the first fifty runs took an hour and twenty minutes to put together. But after Abel had been dismissed for 29, Jephsonbegan to hit, and brought his total to 63, when he was dismissed after batting altogether for two hours and a quarter. At twenty minutes to two rain came down, and there was no more play until five o’ clock, when there was a quarter of an hour’s cricket before Jephson declared. Before Gloucester­ shire could go in rain again came down and stumps were drawn. S urrey . Abel, b Brown ...........29 D. L. A.
