Cricket 1903

M ay 21, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 149 SURREY y. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Worcester on May 14, 15 and 16. Abandoned. The Surrey team acquitted itself well in this match, both in batting and bowling. In the batting several men distinguished them­ selves, notably Hayes and Brockwell, and although Jackson and Montgomery did not increase their reputation as bowlers, Lock­ wood and Brockwell did so well that their want of success was not greatly felt. Abel was still absent from the team. Most of the Worcestershire men missed their train con­ nection from Brighton and there was only half-an-hour’s play before lunch. A very good beginniDg was made by Holland and Hayward, but it was not until Hayes got going that any great command was shown over the bowling. Hayes made his first 60 in an hour and his 100 in an hour and fifty minutes. The first 100 of the innings went up in an hour and twenty-five minutes, the 150 in two hours and five minutes, and the 200 in ten minutes less than three hours, so that nobody could complain that the bat­ ting was tedious to watch. Both Brockwell and Hayes made their runs by most attractive cricket. Worcestershire had to bat for a little over half-an-hour before stumps were drawn, and lo6t two wickets for 19. On the next day Arnold and H. K. Foster played very well indeed, but the tail did next to notning, and when the innings ended Surrey had a lead of 95 runs. This they increased by 25 for the loss of Holland before stumps were drawn. There was no play between luncheon and a quarter to six. On Saturday thero was lust time for Surrey to complete their second innings, Wiltshire playing very pretty cricket, and then the weather broke up, and at a quarter past three the match was abandoned.

When stumps were drawn on Friday even­ ing it was anybody’s game, but owing to continuous rain on Saturday there was no opportunity of seeing what promised to be an interesting finish. On the first day Hargreave bowled very well indeed. He was fortunate enough to dispose of Maclaren with his first ball, and to get rid of Tyldesley just at the critical period when he was likely to make a big score. Spooner played well. Warwickshire began badly enough, but Kinneir, who made his runs quickly, and Lilley deserved well of their side, and in the end Warwickshire had a lead of a single run. When stumps were drawn Lancashire had scored 42 for one wicket, Tyldesley and Maclaren each being not out 14. On Friday it was not possible to continue the game until half-past four. Maclaren did not last for long, but Tyldesley played a great innings. The tail could do next to nothing, but the total of this innings, which ended just before time, came to 11 runs more than the first. Warwickshire were thus left to make 113 to win. L ancashire .

It is hardly likely that any Essex man felt at all confidont that his county might, with equal luck on both sides, succeed in beating Yorkshire in this match, for tho Yorkshire- men are always the most formidable in a season like the present. They have so much batting and so much bowling of a high class, th^t a side which is not particularly strong in either of these branches of the game must be more or less out of the running. From the very first the Yorkshiremen looked like winning without much difficulty. It was not that any startling batting was shown, but man after man showed good form, and seemed determined to make runs; indeed Brown, jun., alone failed to secure double figures. Perhaps the best cricket on the first day was shown by Haigh, but Denton, Brown, sen., Lord Hawke and Rhodes all played sound, and for themost part, methodi­ cal cricket. When the innings ended, Essex had to bat twenty minutes, but after Brown, jun. had bowled a very fast over, and Buck- enham had been l.b.w. to Haigh, Sewell, who had gone in first, appealed, justly enough, against the light, and stumps were drawn. On the next morning things went very badly indeed for the home team, and disasters came in such quick succession that seven wickets were down for 36. Young and Kortright then saved the situation, and the follow-on was saved. In the Yorkshire second innings there was the same methodical batting, al­ though not as many men made good scores as in the first innings. On the other hand, Tunnicliffe played a great defensive game, being at the wickets for two hours and a half, during which he occasionally made some powerful hits. Lord Hawke also did par­ ticularly well. Just before six o’clock the innings came to an end, and in the last twenty minutes Essex had*a sad time, losing Sewell, Young and Mead for two runs, so that the task for the morrow was as nearly hopeless as possible—332 runs to be made with seven wickets in hand. Haigh and Hirst were nearly irresistible on Saturday, but Perrin, Tremlin, and especially Kortright, were seen to some advantage with the bat. Y orkshire . First innings. Second innings.
