Cricket 1902

J une 5, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 189 HAMPSHIRE v. SOMERSET. Played at Bath on June 2 and 3. Somerset won by ten wickets. Hampshire had much the worst of the game in this match on Monday, for against their total of 97 Somerset had scored 203 for the loss of six wickets. The only two men on the Hampshire side who made any prolonged resistance to the bowling were E. M. Sprot and Llewellyn, the latter playing a veiy attractive inniDgs. Braund had an excellent aralysis. For Somerset, L . C. H. Palairet and Braund put up 73 for the first wicket by some of the most interesting batting of the day, and their example was followed afterwards by P. K. Johnson and 8. M. J. W oods, who made 99 runs in seventy-five minutes for the fifth wicket. Johnson was not out 41 at the end of the day. On Tuesday Gill played a fine innings, hitting tremendously hard. He increased his overnight total by fifty runs in half an hour, but the tail did next to nothing. Nevertheless, Somerset had a lead of 160. Hampshire made a fairly good beginning* at their second attempt, A . J. L. Hill being in first class form. Unfortunately he received but little assistance, and so Somersetshire had an easy task when they went in again. H ampshire . First innings. C. Robson, b Braund... W ebb, b Cranfleld E. M.

W hen Surrey began batting on Monday, the wicket ia(Lni> r®coTvered from rains, and after a good start by D. L. A. Jephson and Abel, the play became very slow, the earlier batsmen being content to wait until the wicket improved. That their efforts were justified was apparent by the total, which was large for the wicket. In the afternoon Lockwood and Brockwell played a great game, and at times made some beautiful strokes, their batting being in marked c >ntrast to that which had preceded it. When Brock­ well went the total seemed likely to be large, but the last four wickets fell very quickly. When Kent went in, Burnup played a fine innings of 35 not out, doing nearly all the scoring. Of the first 34 runs, he wa!s responsible for 31. When stumps were drawn the total was 42 for two wickets. Rain fell in the night, and it was impossible to play before lunch on Tues­ day, but afterwards fair progress was made. Bumup played a wonderfully good innings, which had lasted for two hours and forty minutes, his drives and leg hits being especiallv good. The only other innings of note was the 47 by Mason, who played a most careful game. Surrey, with a lead of 44, had scored 14 without loss when stump3 were drawn. There was no play yesterday.

Played at Lord’s on June 2, 3and 4. Abandoned. The bowling of Jessop and J. T. Hearne on the first day o f this match was uniformly good, each man having an excellent analysis, with about the same average per wicket. Jessop, on this occasion, bowled his fastest, and the Middlesex men, as a body, could not face him with any success at all. But G. W . Beldam, Bosanquet and Robertson were honourable exceptions, all playing very good cricket indeed. The innings of the day was. unquestionably, that of Beldam ; it was of the type which is becoming known as “ Scholarly,” which means that it showed a marked knowledge of the game as played on a difficult wicket. The Gloucestershire batting was disap­ pointing, for some of the hitters came off, and if it it had not been that Troup kept one end safe for an hour and a quarter, there would probably have been a bad break down. Each side had completed an innings when stumps were drawn, Middlesex having a lead of 61 runs. On Tuesday Middlesex, for the loss of nine wickets, increased their lead by 145 during a short day's play, but on Wednesday it was found necessary to abandon the match. M iddlesex . First innings.
