It will be observed that Kent were twice beaten by the narrow margin of one wicket, once by two wickets, and once by 5 runs. In the Sussex v. Hampshire match, at Brighton, the last two men on the Hamp­ shire side—D. A. Steele (31 not out) and H. Hesketh-Pritchard (13 not out)—by keeping up their wickets for three-quarters of hour, enabled their tide to escape defeat. When time arrived in the match at Hast­ ings between the South of England and the Australians, the former side required but runs to win and had five wickets in hand.
