Cricket 1902

S e p t . 11, 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 405 SURKEY v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at the Oval on September 4, 5 and 6. Surrey won by ten wickets. In the last match of the county season the weather was quite charming, and the wicket in good condition. Warwickshire began so well on the first day that at lunch time Devey and Kinneir had made 143 without being separated. A big total seemed a certainty at this time of the game for neither batsman had been in the least uncomfortable with the bowling, and there was no reason to suppose that there was any bowler in the Surrey team likely to come with a big rush, seeing that Lockwood was not playing. But almost immediately after lunch Devey, who had been playing beautiful cricket fo ra couple of hours for 89 was bowled by Hayes, a"d Kinneir seemed uncom­ fortable. Meanwhile dyme played very good cricket and Kinneir had apparently settled down again, when Brockwell began a series of successes by bowling him ; he was batting for two hours and a half, and in the half-hour after lunch only made three runs. Quaife was yorked first ball, and Fishwick was only in for a few minuted. Lilley and Byrne kept together for some time, but nothing could stay Brockwell’s course, and the innings came to an end for 251, of which only 104 had been scored since lunch for ten wickets. Surrey, with half an hoar’s batting before them, followed the example of Trumper and Duff, and instead of carefully trying to keep up their wickets for two or three runs, Abel and Hayward between them scored 45 without being separated. On the next m om ;ng the total was raised to 70 befcre Hay­ ward was out, and then Baker helped Abel to put on 54. Hayes, showing excellent cricKet, remained with Abel until 121 runs had been scored for the partner­ ship in an hour and a half. Meanwhile Abel had been playing an almost perfect game all round the wicket and was going strong for his second hundred, when he was caught at mid-off from Quaife’s bowling, after batting for about four hours without a mistake worth noticing. Occasionally he scored with great rapidity, and never at any time during his innings was his cricket tedious to watch. Dowson and Clode hit very hard and put on 60 for the eighth wicket in half an hour, and altogether the batting of the Surrey team was particularly attractive. Warwick­ shire had to make 185 before they were hvel, aod with half an hotir before them they scoredten without loss when the game was stopped on account of the light. Kinneir batted weil on Saturdiy, but four wickets were down for 75 when Fishwick and Lilley came together, and by scoring 73 in an hour made the situation look a good deal better. It was quite likely that they would bring about a drawn game, but although wickets were of far greater importance than runs, they were both run out. Charlesworth, Santall and Field all made useful scores, but in the end Surrey ha 1 only to make 76 to win. These were knocked off without loss by Dowson and Captain Bush. W a r w ic k s h ir e .

REST OF ENGLAND. Played at Hastings on September 4, 5 and 6. Rest of England won by three wickets. Although in the earlier part of the week the pros­ pects for the first match of the Festival were bad in the extreme, the weather cleared up sufficiently during the Thursday morning for a commencement to be made. But as the wicket was soft and appeared likely to be difficult, W. G. put Kent and Sussex in after winning the toss. For a time it seemed that he would gain considerably by this action, but by the time the match was over there was not very much in it, and during the greater part of the game one side stood as good a chance of winning as the other. Sussex and Kent began badly enough. Burnup was taken in the slips at five, a id at ten Fry played on, while at 29 Killick was stumped, and at 34 Day was bowled. Yine and Dillon then kept together for an hour and increased the total by 70 runs. Mason played very we 1indeed, and seemed likely to make a good many runs in partnership with Vine when the latter had his wicket thrown down by Denton from long-leg. Altogether the end of the Kent and Sussex innings was better than the commencement. The Rest of England did quite as badly as their opponents at first, for at 19 W. G. was beautifully caught by Burnup close to the rope3 off a fine drive, while before another run had be n scored Braund was finely taken on the leg boundery by Fr/, and at the same total McGahey was out to a clever catch at short-leg. At 39 Wood was also disposed of. TheD, j&st as in the Kent and Su-sex innings, there was a much needed stand, and Jessop and Denton put on 56 in twenty minutes, and the former continued to hit with energy and decision, and when stumps were drawn with the total at 112 for five wickets, he had made 60 not out in forty minutes. Maj or Poore was not out 6. On the following morning the M ijor was content t >keep his end up, while Jessop hit brilliantly. Jessop was at last run out for 109 out of 162 made during the eighty minutes that he was at the wickets, and his hits included seventeen 4’s. His partnership with Major Poore produced 86 runs in fifty minutes, the Major played a very good innings which lasted fer an hour, during the greater part of which he wisely left th°, scoring to Jessop. The last wicket put on 30 runs, Gill making 24 of them in ten minutes by two 6’s and three 4’s. When the com­ bined counties went in again, they had to knock off a lead of 47 runs, and Dillon and Buraup easily did this without loss. But at 55 Dillon was out to McGahey, and at 68 Killick also fell to McGahey. Burnup and Day then got comfortably settled and were going strong when heavy rain, at 4 o’clock, put an end to the game for the day. Kent and Sussex had then a lead of 78 with eight wickets in hand, and as the odds were considerable that the wicket would play badly on Saturday, this seemed a considerable advantage. Burnup was not out 73, and Day not out 17. As long as Burnup kept up his wicket on Saturday, the com­ bined counties did well, but when, after a stay of a couple of hours he was disposed of for 1 7 the innings was soon over. Burnup was quite in his best form. The Rest of England had to make 178 to win, and it was generally recognised that this was a for­ midable task. WithC. J. B. W ood and Braund both out before a run had been scored, things looked greatly in favour of the counties, but Dr. urace and McGahey took charge of the bowling during a part­ nership of an hour and scored 93 between them before the latter was bowled by Mason, who then had a run of success which looked like bringing about a victory for the Counties. But after Grace was out seventh at 145, for a .beautiful innings of 70, Trott and Gunn made the remaining runs. K e n t a n d S u s s e x . b Braund ........... 1 C. B.

THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. THE MATCH AGAINST MR. 0. I. THORNTON’S XI. T H IR T Y -S IX T H O F T H E T O U R . Played at Scarborough on September 4, 5 &6. Drawn. When stumps were drawn on the second day of this match the Australians seemed to have the easiest of victories before them, for with 8ix wickets down in their second inniogj Mjr. Thornton’s team were only 38 runs on. But on the next morning the tail and Tyldesley played eo finely that in the end the innings was declared closed and the Australians had no real chance of making the runs required to win, although they made a splendid effort to do so. There was some very curious cricket on the first day. On a wicket which was always difficult the Englishmen put up 48 wichout loss, and then before another run had been added Tunnicliffe, Tyldesley and A . O. Jones were all out. Jones gave a very good exhibition of the sort of game which made his batting so attractive last year. Jackson now came in and once more showed that he is about the best man in the world when his side is in difficulties, and although three more wickets had fallen when the total was only 79 he still kept up his end and waited for someone to h oli on to the other. Thompson proved to be the first man capable of helping him much, and gradually the score rose until the total was 118, thirty-nine runs having been put on duriog the partnership. Haigh joined Jackson and at last the Australian bowling seemed to be collared, for after beginning slowly both men were finding opportunities for scoring. But when the partnership had produced 62 rain came down and interrupted play for twenty minutes, which made all the difference in the world, and when the game was resumed Jackson was out after four more runs had been scored and the innings came to an abrupt end. Jackson’s fine innings of 72 was in every way worthy <f his great reputation. The Australians had to bat for half-an-hour, and in that time lost Duff and Armstrong for 31, Trumper being not out 23 and Trumble, who was missed before he had scored, not out 1. As soon as the game was resumed on Friday morning Trumper began to score rapidly, and with perfect ease. All the bowling seemed simple to him,and it came as quite a surprise to the spectators when he missed a straight ball and was leg-before wicket. He made his 62 out of 86 in an hour and five minutes. Meanwhile Trumble plodded steadily on, but both he and Hill were out when the total was 119. Noble and Darling then played a very slow game, the former taking fifty minutes to score his first ten runs. Later Hopkins made a most useful 49 in a short time. The innings ended 49 above that of the Englishmen, who when they went in a second time lost four men before I they drew level. Nobody could make anything of Saunders except Tyldesley, who played a great game,
