Cricket 1902

J o l t 3, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 SURREY v, LANCASHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on June 26, 27 and 28. Lancashire won "by an innings and 78 runs. Although Surrey were beaten by an innings in this match they had at least the satisfaction of making a brilliant and sustained effort to save the game on the last two days. But their case was almost hopeless by the time that stumps were drawn on the first day, for against their total of 183 Lancashire had scored 238 for three wickets only. The chief cause of this un­ satisfactory result was the failure of Abel, Jephson and Hayes, who all fell victims to Barnes in the course of a few minutes. Jephson and Hayes were dismissed at 14 and Abel at 19, while if an easy chance given by Lockwood before he had scored had been taken, four wickets would have been down at this total. The rest of the team with the exception of Baker and Stedman, who each made a duck’s egg, did their best to retrieve the situation, but for a hard wicket the total of 183 was not promising. Barnes had a great share in the success of his side in dispos­ ing of Surrey so cheaply. Maclaren and Garnett put up 62 for the first wicket, and then the latter and Tyldesley more than doubled the score in a little over half-an-hour. There was another fine stand by Tyl­ desley and Hallows, tbe latter having to return owing to receiving a rising ball from Richardson in his face. 'Jyldesley was not out 105. On the next day Surrey wtre practically out of the running, for Lancashire, after increasing their total to 556 for eight wickets and then dec ariDg, got rid of seven Suir y men for 180, so that 193 runs were still required to save the innings defeat. Tyldesley was dismissed at 334 after playing splendid cricket for t» o hours and fifty minutes. There were now five wickets down, while at 368 the sixth wicket fell, so thut things were not so terribly unpromisiDg after all. Unhappily for Surrey the next two men. Eccles and I’Anson, completely altered the appearance of the game by putting on 198 runs in an hour and fifty minutes, the Surrey bowlers having a very tryir g time of it. As soon as Eccles was out just before reaching his hundred the innings was declared, and Surrey found themselves with the task of making 373 runs before getting level. Again a most unfoitunate start was made, for in three- quarters of an hour Abel, Jephson, Hayes and Lock­ wood were all out for 36. Hayward, who seemed the last hope, only made 24, and seven wickets were down for 90 at twenty minutes to six. Then, all too late, came a glorious exhibition of batting by Captain Bush and V. F. 8. Crawford, wno were still uncon- quere d at the end of the day, the former with 66 and the latter with 42. On the next day these two latsmen soon took the bowling in charge and by brilliant cricket added 98 runs before they were separated, the entire partne ship having produced 188 runs for the eighth wicket in less than two hours. It was a magnificent effort in a lost cause. S ubbey . First innings. D .L.A .

Owing to the collapse of the Coronation Festivities, the Australians suddenly found themselves with nothing to do, and accordingly a match was hastily arranged for them. Under the circumstances it was not possible to get together anything like a strong England eleven, and the unfortunate captain of tbe scratch team had to open his bowling at one end with Kinneir, with Quaife as first change, so that it was not at all strange that the Australians should have run up a big total. Fortunately for the England eleven, a fast bowler named Knutton. who has played for Warwickshire, was on their side, and he met with great success, taking nine wickets for 101 runs, a great feat on a moderately easy wicket. He created quite a sensation at the beginning of the match by bowling Noble, Hill and Darling in his second over with tbe total at 11. A fourth wicket fell to him at 36, and then the inevitable stand was made. Duff and Trumper put on 191 for the fifth wicket. As the England eleven was so exceeding.y weak there is no necessity to enter into details of the match, except to state that W . G. Quaife played an excellent innings of 68 and that R. T. Crawford made the highest score of his career by the most attractive cricket. A ustralians . First innings. V. Trumper, b Knutton ...113 M. A . Noble, b Knutton ... 1 C.

For this match the M.C.C. had got together a side which was much stronger in batting as usual, and as the first two men happened to come off, the weak Cambridge bowling was treated unmercifully for the rest of the day. Warner and Burnup went in, and at lunch time had put up 131 without being separated, Afterwards they still kept on their way until the total had reached 233 in two hours and a half, when W arner was stumped. W hat followed was even worse for Cambridge, for Mason and Lucas were both in great form, while Burnup was not yet done with. The latter hit with tremendous vigour after reaching his hundred, aud was not disposed of till he had been at thn wickets for three hours for his 161. Mason was out at 442—three wickets dow n- and when stumps were drawn the total was 475 for five wickets. This was increased to 607 on the next morning, Albert Trott scoring 67 in fifty-five minutes, after a poor commencement of his innings. Against this big total the University struggled in vain, but Day played a very fine innings, and the tail did well. In the follow-on, 417 behind, seventy-four runs had been made for the loss of four wickets when stumps were drawn, so that there seemed a strong probability that the match would be over very soon on Saturday. But E. R. Wilson, who was not out 34 overnight, played splendidly, and was the last man out, after batting for three hours and a half for a very finely played 142. During the match L. T. Driffield was given his blue. M.C.C. and G round . P. F. Warner, st Marsh, b W ilson ...107 C. J. Burnup, c Ebden, b Penn ................. 161 J.R Mason, b Gilman 107 A. P.

WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Taunton on June 26, 27 and 28. Worcestershire won by four wickets. Worcestershire had decidedly the best of the first day’s cricket in this match, for they brought their total to within 28 of that of Somerset, and still had half their wickets in hand. For this they we e indebted chiefly to good bowling by Simpscn-Hay- ward, and good batting by Wheldon, Arnold, and H. K. Foster. Braund was the only one of the great Somersetshire bats who did himEelf jus1 ice, but towards the end of the innings Gill an i Lee atoned to a great extent for the shortcomings of other men, the former playing a bold game, and making 60 in an hour. But for tbe opportune stand by these two men, the total would have been poor, for when they came together seven wickets were down for 143 runs.
