Cricket 1902

Aug. 28, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 373 HAMPSHIRE y. SUSSEX. Played at Southampton on August 21 and 22. Sussex won by eight wickets. Again without Ranjitsinbji, Sussex did extremely well to win this match so easily after teirg behind, their opponents on the first innings. When Hamp­ shire won the toss the first two men put up 33 runs for the first -wicket, and although Major Poore was disposed of for a single, A. J. L . H ill did so well with Llewellyn that no one dreamed of a sudden collapse. But after B ill left, Tate had a run of luck which only falls very occasionally to the lot of even the greatest bowlers. He took the remaining seven wickets for five runs. Sussex therefore had to go in against a much smaller total than they could have hoped for, but they found Llewellyn and Hesketh-Pritchard at out as difficult to play as Tate had been, and the result was that when their innings came to an end they were 23 runs behind. As Hampshire had put on 68 for the loss of two wickets before stumps were drawn and were thus 81 runs on with eight wickets in hand, things looked very hopeful for them. Major Poore was not out 11 and A. J. H ill not out 14. But there was a sad tale to tell on the next day, for although Major Poore increased his score to 27 and D. A. Steele made a most useful 22, Sussex very easily knocked off the 148 required to win. They lost Fry for 9, but then Killick and Vine put cn 126 runs in two hours and a half, so that they had practically won the match by the time that they were separated. Hampshire. First innings.

SURREY v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Worcester on August 21, 22 and 23. Abandoned. Owirg to an accident on the railway, the Worcester­ shire team arrived late from Tonbridge, and play did not begin until past one o’clock. At lunch time Surrey had scored 44 for the less of Hayward, but when one run more had been made, two wickets had fallen. This pcor commencement had no effect on Brockwell and Abel, who, by good cricket, added 81 runs for the fourth wicket. A tel then had Dowson as a partner, and the bowling was collared. The two men had put on 123, -when Abel was at last bowled for a splendid innings of 104, which had teen put together in three hours and a quarter. Crawford came in to help Dowson, and made 15 off his first over from Wilson. When stumps were drawn the total was 329 for five wickets, Dowson being not out 105, and Crawford not out 35. The former only added a s.ngle on Friday morning before being bowled by Arnold ; he had been batting for two hours and a half, and had played a remark­ ably good innings. Crawford made a few cdditional runs, but the tail did very little. When Worcester­ shire went in, Richardson was in fine foim , and nobedy but Wheldon, Gaukrodger and A . W . Isaac could make any prolonged stand against him. A fo low-on was necessary, and so well did Bowley, Arnold and H. K. Foster play, that when stumps were drawn 154 runs were on the board with one wicket down. Foster played a splendid innings, and was notout 75 after batting a little more than three, quarters of an hour. It was impossible to continue the game on Saturday. S urrey .

LONDON COUNTYv. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at the Crystal Palace on August 21, 22 and 23. Drawn. W hile tatsmen on most other grounds were scratching for their runs there was some splendid play at the Crystal Palace on all three days. A t the beginning of the game, when London County went in, the wicket helped the bowlers ; but Dr, Grace and Braund held their ground until lunch, after which the situation was changed, for the wicket had beet me much easier. Both men gave a trilliant display of batting. The Doctor was in his very finest form, and showed a command over the bowling almost as great as he used to show when he was rearer thirty than sixty; in fact it would have been very difficult to have pointed out a stroke which was not made as well as it could have been made by any batsman under the sun. He guided tails through the slips with a facility which was delightful; he made powerful off-drives, and several times drove the ball on the on-side into the very farthest corner of the ground with the result that he had to run out the nits. In this way he made several four?, and did rot seem in the least winded after the runs had been made. He scored 129 in a little over four hours. Meanwhile Braund had been playing admirable cricket, never making a mistake, and occasionally hittirg with great force. He was out at last, after having helped Dr. Grace to put on 164 for the second wicket in two hours and twenty minutes, in trying to drive Hargreave out of the groutd. Po'devin played a very pretty innings, and W . Smith and Board made runs verv quickly. A t the end cf the day the total was 317 for five wickets. On the next morning Walker and Baphael made some fine hits, but neither of them ever setmed quite ccmftrtable. Whitehead, a young bowler from South Africa, made bis first appearance in the Warwickshire team. He is left-hand medium, and seems not unlikely to be a gocd bowler in time. rlh e Warwickshire innings was chit fly noticeable for the tatting of W . li. Quaife, who, in the course of two hours and a-half, scored 110 not out. It was a really fine innings, and some of his Liis were astonishingly hard for a man of such small size. A lot of his runs were made off Braund, whom he played exceedingly well, getting him round to lfg with the utmost certainty time after time. When stumps were drawn Warwickshire had made 267 for the less of four wickets. There was never much chance that the match would te finished, and on Saturday, after the rest of the Warwickshire team had teen disposed of pretty easily on a wicket which had been affected by rain in the early morning, it was pretty evident that the game must be drawn, as the wicket began to improve rapidly. Quaife carried his bat for 144, an innings which had lasted for three hours and a-quarter. On Saturday morning he made 34 out of the fifty runs put on by the last six wickets. When London County declared, they could only leave a couple of hours for Warwickshire to bat, and the result was that a drawn game was inevitable. In the last quarter of an hour George, the Aston Villa goal-keeper, made some splendid hits, after missing ball after ball when he first went in. L oneon C ounty . First innings. Second innings. W .

On a soft and not difficult wicket Notts were batting nearly all the first day <f this match, thanks chiefly to the efforts of four men, viz., A . O. Jones, W . Gunn, J. A. Dixon and Anthony, who scored 291 out of 314 from the bat. Shrewsbury was for once towled without scoring, tu t W . Gunn and Jones then put up 89 runs in seventy minutes, while Dixon and Jones added 129 in an hour and-a-half by
