Cricket 1903

« J u n e 18, 1903 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 213 WORCESTERSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Worcester on June 11, 12 and 13. Abandoned. Although there was very heavy rain at Worcester on the day before this match began the ground dried so quickly that it was possible to play after a delay of only an hour. A new wicket was prepared, and this turned out to be f rirly easy. The chief feature of the first day’s cricket was the fine batting of B )wley, who was at the wickets for three hours for his 90, which included some big drives. E. P. Jobson, who his not represented his county for some years, turned out again, and played a most useful innings of 26, while Iiaae again did well. The innings came to a conclusion just before the time for drawing stumps. Blythe bowled exceedingly well. Much S rogress was made with the match on the second ay, and when stumps were drawn an interesting finish seemed not unlikely. Burnup and Dillon put up 65 for the first Kent wicket, but after this the batsmen always found great difficulty in scoring. Burnup playea a good defensive inning*. beiog at the wickets f.»r two hours and twenty-five minutes. When Worcestersh’re, leading by 74 runs, went in again, Blythe bowled with great effect, and Gauk­ rodger alone succeeded in making over 20. Kent, with 186 to win, had lost Burnup at close of play, the t jtal being 24. There was no play on Saturday. WoBGKSTKBSHIBE. First inniugs. Second innings.

Although there had been a great deal of rain on the night before this match, the wicket dried so quickly that it was possible to begin play at the usual time, but after Sussex had scored 14 for the loss of Fry, rain fell, and caused a postponement until the morrow, when there was a full day’s cricket, replete with excitement. The wicket was difficult, and but few batsmen were able to make any headway against the bowling. Mead was in great form, and tumbled out the Sussex men one after the other. When Essex went in Sewell hit finely and Fane played a sound defensive game, and at lunch time the total was 73, of which Sewell was responsible for 49. Thus Essex were only 4 runs behind tne 8ussex total. The first wicket fell at 82, when Fane was disposed of for 25, the partnership having lasted for a little more than three-quarters of an hour. Sewell left at 102 ; his exceedingly fine innings of 70, made at the rate of about a run a minute, included a five and ten fours, and some of his drives were very powerful. It was an innings which might easily have won the match if rain had not interfered. After this Killick was almost irresistible. Nevertheless Essex had a lead of 89. But Fry and Vine did so well, after an unpromisiog start, that they had knocked off 75 of these runs before Fry was dismissed; he did not attempt to play the ball, but tried to stop it with h's legs. He hid batted very well indeel for his 48. Just before stumps were drawn Vine was caught in the long field. The total was 85 for two wickets, so that Sussex, with eight wickets in hand were now only four runs behind. There was no play on Saturday. S ussex . First innings. Second innings. C. B.

By the time that stumps were drawn on the first day of tbis match Surrey were in an excellent position, for against a total of 183 they had scored 148 for the loss of three wickets. For a time Cambridge did very well indeed, Ebden, Mann and Doweon all batting finely. But whe i Lees went on to bowl the situation changed, and after lunch he took six wickets for 11 runs in eleven overs, six of which were maidens. Keigwin, who showed plenty of confidence, was the only man who could look at him. After Walker had been dismissed, with the total at 7, Hayward and Holland batted fine'y, but carefully, for Surrey, and raised the total to 124 in about an hour and three-quarters. When stumps were drawn the total was 148 for three wickets, Holland being not out 45. On the next morning Holland increased his score by 21, and when he was dismissed he had been batting for three hours for a most useful 76. Afterwards, Wiltshire, Baker and Lees all made very useful scores, and Surrey hai a lead of 84. Before these runs were knocked off Cambridge lost eight wickets, Lees being in great form with the ball. But Roberts and Marsh then played bold cricket, and increased the total by 61 runs, so that Surrey had to go in again. C am bbidg * U n iv k b sitt . First innings. R. T. Godsell, b Richardson 4 C.
