A u g . 7 , 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 THE AUSTRALIANS. THE SUSSEX MATCH. ( t w e n t y - s ix t h o f t h e t o u r .) Played at Brighton on July 31, Aug. 1and 2. Drawn. A s there was just a possibility that C. B. Fry and Ranjitsinhji w ould avenge themselves for their previous failures against the Australians, this match excited som e interest am ong cricketers, until it was discovered that tbe Australians preferred to go for record rather than to try to win. They w on the toss, batted on a perfect wicket, and continued their innings long after there was any necessity to do so, for at lunch time on the second day they had scored m ore than enough runs to secure them from defeat. A t the same tim e they m ust have felt that they had no real prospect o f dismissing the Sussex m en twice on such a wioket, and m ay not have seen the fun of fielding out for hours to Fry and Ranjitsinhji when they could be batting th' mselves. Be this as it m ay, they did not declare until late on Friday afternoon, and the Sussex m en, tired out, sim ply contented themselves w ith keeping their visitors in the field for the rest o f the m atch. Under the circum stancrs it is unnecessary to describe the gam e in detail. A ll that need be said is that after five Australian wickets had fallen for 162, N oble and Arm strong put on 428 runs for the sixth wicket, which is a record only as far as the sixth w icket is concerned. N oble’s 284 is the highest individual score o f the season. A ustralians . A . J . H opkins, run out ................................ 32 W . W .

KUGBY v. MARLBOROUGH. Played at Lord’s on July 30 and 31. Rugby won by 29 runs. The first day’s play in this m atch was chiefly noticeable for the fine bow ling o f Brcoks for M arl­ borough, 6 td an excellent innirgs of 62 n o to u t for R ugby by h . Church. Brooks kept a wonderfully good length for a school-boy Iow ler, and as he used bis head w ell the Rugby boys were quite puzzled by him . Church m ade his runs at a time when runs were badly wanted ; he scored very quickly, and his fine innings was quite up to the best traditions o f pu tlic school tatting. W hen stumps were drawn M arlborough bad a great advantage, for after heading by 90 on the first innings they had dism issed three o f their ot ponenls in the second innings for 66, so that B ugby were still 32 runs bel ind. Chadwick mas not out five. On the m xtm ornin g he played a most stubborn game which m ade all tLe difference in the w orld to his side, and when he was out fo r 31 he had been batting for nearly tw o hours. ‘W hile he kept one end safe W . P. Harrison, a son o f a hard-hitting bats­ man who with the fam e initials is very w ell Known in London c lu ) cricket, played a very good gam e indeed, m aking his runs pretty quickly although when Chadwick was out he took his place as a defensive player, with the result that in three hours he had com piled 76 runs. M eanwhile G. C. Tripp bad m ade a fine 52 in an hour, and in the end Rugby were able to set their opponents the task o f m aking 192 in three hours. There was thus the prospect of an exciting finish. Things went badly with M arl­ borough at the comm encem ent o f the innings, three wickets being dow n for 38. Then a useful stand was m ade by K . S. Robinson, and later when all seemed lost J. C . Barv«*y raised the hopes of bis tide con­ siderably. The last w icket put on 25 runs, m ost o f these com ing from the bat o f Harvey. R u g b y .

Thanks to som e fine hatting by C. H . B Marsham, E. W . D illon, Sejm ou r and R . N . R . Blaker, and a few successful oveis Ly Bradley, K ent ended the first day’s play with a dtcid d advantage, for they had made 332 runs and had got rid of A . O. Jones and W . Gunn for 9. Marsham was batting for three hours and a half and played excellent cricktt in every way. The N otts m en played up well on Friday. Shrews­ bury ran him self out when he setm ed set for one of his lon g innings, and when he was out the prospects o f his side were by no means good. Fortunately for Notts, John Gunn and Anthony then made things look much better, for in three - quarters o f an hour they increased the total by 84 runs. K ent had a lead o f 91 on the first innings, and when stumps were drawn they were 275 runs on with seven wickets in hand. Burnup, who made 57, was missed before a run had been scored, and Marsham, who was not out 44, v as twice missed, so that the Notts men had themselves to thank for their position. D illon did not m ake a run for nearly half-an-hour and when he had been in for forty minutes he had made only tw o singles. On Saturday m orning the remaining seven K ent wickets fell for 104 runs, and although this was satisfactory enough in its way to the Notts m en, the success o f their bowlers must have made them anxious to know what w ould happen when they themselves went in. Their second innings began at about twenty minutes to two, and 67 had been made forthe loss o f Irem on­ ger when rain fell. N o m ore play was possible until a quarter past five, by w hich tim e there was practi­ cally no chance of finishing the match. Perhaps if tw o or three wickets had fallen very quickly, K ent m ight have snatched a victory at the last m oment, but W . Gunn and A . O. Jones soon made it clear that this was out o f the question. K ent . First innings. C. J. Burnup, run out ... 24 E . W .

SURREY y . YORKSHIRE. h a y w a r d ’ s b e n e f it m a t c h . Playedat the Oval on July 31, August 1and 2. Drawn. Although the weather looked m ost unprom ising on W ednesday evening last week, rain falling pretty heavily in the London district, it im proved so m uch on the next m orning that, fortunately for Hayward, there was a large crow d at the Oval, notwithstanding that there were still signs of rain. On Friday and Saturday there was very little cause to fear a wetting, and, again spectators turned up in large numbers. It was an interesting m atch to watch, for although there was never much chance that it would be brought to a conclusion, there was so m uch good all-round cricket that the spectator w ho could not m anage to ei joy him self must have been a curious sort o f person. It is so seldom that a professional comes off when he is playing in his own tenefit mutch that H ayward’s success as a batsman was exceedingly welcome. Yorkshire w on the toss and found the wicket in first- class condition, so that they stayed in all the first day, only losing seven wickets. Their total was 387,
