Cricket 1902

34 2 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 1 i 4, 1902. KENT t . SURREY. EIGHT SURREY WICKETS TOR FOUR RUNS. Played at Canterbury on August 7, 8 and 9. Kent won by an innings and 191 runs. The miserable weather at the end of the Canterbury W eek quite spoiled this m atch, and gave an immense advantage to the side w hich won the toss. On the first day there were several showers up to lunch time and the w icket was always fairly easy. On the next day it was difficult, and on ih e third day shockingly bad. Nevertheless no one was prepared fo r the com ­ plete breakdown in the 8urrey batting in the second innings, for Hayes and H ayw ard seemed to play the bow liug w ithout much difficulty. By the end o f the first day K ent had placed themselves in an almost unassailable position for they had got rid o f a Surrey batsm an, Ktedman, w ho had been sent in first to play out tim e if possible, and had them*elves scored 389, which, as tLe w icket was not likely to im prove, was a very big score under the circumstances. A fter D illon had been dismissed for five runs B um up and C. H . B. M arsham soon played them selves in and began to treat the Surrey bowling lightly. It w as not one of L ockw ood’s days, so that 1he Surrey bow ling was very grtatly weakened, and no one could make any im pres­ sion on the batsmen. The total had been increased by 148 in an hour and ten m inutes when M arsham, who had m ade about tw o-thirds o f the runs, was well caught with one hand low dow n in the s^ips by Hayes. D ay m ade 32 out of 38 in tw enty-five m inutes, and M ason and A lec Hearne put on 96 while together. Nearly all the K ent team played good cricket. The outlook fo r Surrey when the gam e was resumed on Friday m orning was not at all prom ising, and when A bel only m ade five and H ayward ten things looked very black indeed. H ayes played a bold gam e which cam e'off and his contribution of 48 was very valuable. B ut the w icket was too m uch in favour o f the bowlers to leave any hopes for Surrey, and w icket after w icket fell w ithout m aterially increasing the total. Towards the end of the innings Captain Bush played excellent cricket. A little before lunch, which was taken at half-past one, Surrey were ail out and had to follow on. Bain now fell and no play was possible until a quarter past four, w hen Surrey had only a few m inutes t atting before play was stopped on account oi the light, and then m ore rain fell, so that stumps were pulled up. U nfortunately for Surrey Abel had been dismissed in the few m inutes while play was in prcgres8. The position now was that Surrey with nine wickets in hand required 214 runs to save the in n icgs defeat. On Saturday m orning H ayw ard acd Hayes, w ho were not out overnight, played very attractive cricket, and as lon g as they were together Surrey had a rem ote chance o f pulling through. B ut at 65 the partnership cam e to an end, and a rem ark­ able alteration took place. fJhe next four wickets w ent down w ithout another run being m ade, and the rem ainder of the team could do nothing to im prove the situation. In fact the last eight m en, beginning with H ayes and H ayward fell for 4 runs. In this great debacle M ason and Blythe had about equal shares. K ent .

WORCESTERSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Worcester on August 7, 8 and 9. Drawn. There was no play on the first tw o days o f this m atch ow ing to rain. On Saturday there were several interruptions, and as the W orcestershire captain did not see any chance o f getting Derbyshire out tw ice if he declared he allowed his side to bat all day. The result was a bad tim e fo r the Derbyshire bowlers, the tw o Fosters m aking the m ost brilliant hits, while Bowley ste idily kept on his way. A ll the Derbyshire m en went o i to bowl.

N o play was possible in this m atch until Saturday m orning, and then a new wicket was marked out. A t lunch tim e W arwickshire had m ade 112 for one wicket, D evey and Fishwick having put up 94 before they were separated. Rain fell, but play was resumed at a little after three o’clock. W hen W arwickshire had m ade enough runs to be secure from defeat, they declared, on the off chance that Lancashire m ight break dow n badly. B ut after tw o wickets had fallen for thirteen runs, Tyldesley played a splendid innings, while Sharp hit very hard, and the unfinished partner­ ship increased the total by 135 before stumps were drawn.

Owing to the heavy rains in the m orning, and more rain at three o’clock, no play was possible at Leyton on Thursday last. On Friday Essex w on the toss and decided to go in on a w icket w hich had been so affected by the rain that it was im possible to guess w hat would happen upon it. W hen seven runs had been m ade in ten m inutes the rain cam e dow a, and when play was resumed in a quarter o f an hour the bowlers carried everything before them during the Essex innings. The last tw o men put on 23 runs or the total w ould have looked very sm all indeed. N otts began badly enough when their turn cam e to bat, for Jones was out before a run had been scored. But then Irem onger and W . Gunn m ade such a deter­ m ined resistance to the bow ling that they put on 114 m ns for the second w icket in tw o hours. But when once the ice was broken the Essex bowlers did much better, and before stumps were drawn they had got rid o f four m ore m en for an addition o f 31 m ns ; the N otts score standing at 146 for pix w ickets when stumps were drawn, w ith Shrewsbury not out 13. On Saturday m orning the rem aining fou r wickets were not very productive and the innings cam e to an end with a lead o f 110. Shrewsbury carried his bat for a very useful 36. Essex had now to play for a draw, and although for a tim e there seem ed a chance that they w ould not accom plish their object, Fane and K ortr ght cam e together with the soore at 76 for three wickets and knocked off the balance before they were parted. They both played excellent cricket and practically their partnership saved their side. 1 here was still a possibility o f defeat if the rem aining wickets fell very quickly, but Russell, Bucuenham and Sewell each m ade a very useful stand, and it was not until a quarter to six when the innings ended. There was then not the m ost rem ote posibility either that N otts could m ake the m ns required to win or could be got out themselves, so that stum ps were drawn. E88EX. First innings.
