Cricket 1902

S e p t . 4, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 389 HAMPSHIRE V. WARWICKSHIRE. AN EXCITING FINISH. Played at Bournemouth onAug. 28, 29 and 30. Warwickshire won by eight runs. In the Hampshire team were included W . H. Harrison, captain of the Bournemouth C.C., and Kitchener, the Sefton Park professional, who some years ago played for Hampshire, and lately has done good service for Liverpool and District. Kitchener and Llewellyn, on a difficult wicket, disposed of Warwickshire for 99, Lilley being the only uian who seemed quite comfortable with them. Hampshire began very well indeed, putting up 95 for the loss of only two wickets, thanks to tine play by Llewellyn and Sprot. But Santall thtn bowled in great form, and the tail did badly. Warwickshire had lost a wicket in their second innings for 0 when play ended for the day, ar.d were 32 runs behind. On the next morning Hargreave was run out, and two wickets were down for noihing. W ith the total at 3 Kinneir was dismissed. Quaife and Devey then set them­ selves to play a strictly defensive game, and in an hour they added 35 runs. But seven wickets were down for 82, and the game seemed over, until Field and Santall hit boldly for the last wicket. Devey was batting two hours and thiee-quarters for his 44 runs, and his defence had much to do with his side’s victory Hampshire had to make 121 to win. The first wicket put up 23 runs, but three wickets were down for 39. The fourth fell at 64, Bowell having played excellent cricket. Sione then kept one end up for an hour, and when stumps were orawn with tbe total at 99 for 8 wickets his score was six. Hampshire then required 22 to win. The innings lasted on Saturday morning for three-quarters of an hour, and there was always a chance until the very last moment that Hampshire might win. Harrison, who was not out 12 overnight, had hurt his leg badly, and although he pluckily kept up his end, he did not increase his score by a single run. W ARWICKSHIBE. First innings. Second innings.

THE LANCASHIRE MATCH. T H IR T Y -F O U R T H O F T H E T O U R . Played at Old Trafford on Aug. 28, 29 & 30. Australians won by 18 runs. Ia this match, Lancashire, for the first time, played Eerm -de, the young New South Wales bowler, who is qualifying for the county. He is medium right, and on the first day took five wickets for 68 runs. 1 ittlewood, the left-hand bowler who had made his dibut for the county against Leicestershire on the first three days of the week, again played and again met with gre*t success, 'lhe Australians could do very little in the first innings against these two bowlers on a difficult wicket, and for once their stauding luck seemed to have deterted them, when against their total of 138 Lancashire had put up 51 for the loss of one wicket. But the rain, the o.d friend of the Australian , once more came to their aid, just when it was badly wanted, and by stopping play for an hour and ten minutes it broke the spell, with the resu t that when play was resumed another wicket fell, ^hile on the next morning the rest of the Lancashire men had a wretched time*. Instead of having a good lead, as they might reasonably have expected before tbe rain came, they were 18 runs behind, exactly the num ler ly which they were eventually beaten. On Friday, th» A us ralians again did very little, and Lancashire were left to make 124 runs iu the fouith innings of the match, when the wicket was at its worst. 'Jhey played up pluckily, but when stumps were drawn they had only scored 75 with half their wickets down. As two or three of the tail could not t e relied vpon at all, there did not seem much chance that the rt maining runs would te hit off on Saturday, and in the end the Australians won pretty easily.

KENT. Played at Brighton on August 28, 29 and 30. Drawn. The commencement of the Sussex innings cn Thursday last afforded a great contrast to what wa so often seen last year when Fry and Vine went in first. Then Fry very soon got going, but now he ha® been for so long out of form—or rather so different from his former self—that he could not afford to play his usual bold game. As a consequence of this the scoring was very slow for the Brighton ground, and when at 110 the partnership which had lasted for two hours and a quarter was broken, Vine had only scored 3-5 of them, while Fry had been very much longer than usual in scoring 63. Fry was within a run of his hundred, when he was out through hesi­ tating play. It was a very fine innings, although it was not a brilliant one such as he has so ’often played in happier times. Latham and Heygate were together for an hour and ten minutes, and increased the Bcore by 79 runs. When stumps were drawn the total was 274 for seven wickets. On the next morning Smith, who was not out 8, was joined by Brann, and by lunch time all the Kent team, except Huish, had been put on to bowl. Both men played most attractive cricket, and although they were only together for two hours and a half, their partnership produced 229 runs. Although Smith made his runs in excellent form, Brann played by far the tetter innings; indeed it would be impossible to find any fault witn his play, and his methods were as direct and vigorous as in his very best days. A t lunch time Sussex declared, and Kent had now to play for a draw. By the end of the day they seemed likely to accomplish their object, for with only four wickets down their score was 2c2. Perhaps if Dillon had not teen missed at the commencement of his innings there might have been another story to tell. On Saturday the remaining six Kent wickets fell much sooner than was anticipated, so that Sussex seemed to have a chance of winning. But in the follow-on Burnup played such a splendid game, which was naturally chiefly noticeable for its sound defence, and was so well backed up by Alec Hearne, who was an hour in scoring his first fifteen runs, and had only scored 33 when time arrived, after being in for more than two hours that defeat was easily avoided.
