Cricket 1903

J une 25, 1903 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 229 probably be found that when the Yorkshire team is not handicapped by injuries the side will be as hard to beat as at any time during the past three seasons. The fact that there is every probability of an England XI. visiting Australia during the approaching winter under the auspices of the M.C.C. is most welcome news, not merely because it means that no more teams will go out as private speculations but also because more representative sides will undertake the journey than has been the case in recent years. Those counties which objected to some of their chief players making the tour under the old conditions would not hesitate in peadily granting permission for them to do so under the aegis of the M.C.C. Several lead­ ing cricketers have already been asked to make the tour, but as definite replies have not vet been received to the invitations the names have not been made public. The side, which will consist of fifteen players, will contain two first-rate wicket-keepers, and will be captained by Mr. P. F. Warner, who is no stranger to the Colonies. The chief anxiety will be as regards fast bowling, which at the present time is not of a very high standard in England. Cricket annuals, as a rule, meet with such poor support that they seldom last for many seasons. Hence the fact that the demand for The Sussex County Cricket Annual for 1903 has been so great as to cause a reprint of the same, is very gratifying, especially as it is one of the very best compilations of its kind ever issued. The booklet is issuedat the non­ prohibitive price of twopence by The Sussex Evening Times , of Brighton, and the fact that it is edited by “ Willow-Wielder ” (Mr. A. D. Taylor), is sufficient to convince ono that the work could not possibly have been in more capable hands. REPTON SCHOOL v. UPPINGHAM SCHOOL.— Played at Uppingham on June 10 and 11.

When stump* were drawn on the first day of this match it seemed very improbable that Yorkshire would have anything like an easy victory, for against the Derbyshire total of 133, they had only managed to put up 122 for the loss of seven wickets. They again had to deplore the absence of several of their best men, but Hirst was able to take his place in the team again, and prove! of the greatest assistance. As has often happened this season, the most notice­ able point about the Derbyshire first innings—they had lost the toss, but were put in first by Hunter, who was »ct ng as captain of the Yorkshire team— was the fine batting of L. G. Wright, who also greatly distinguished himself in the second innings. When everybody else seemed in difficulties, he went on his way steadily, making runs whenever there was the least chance, and always playing a delightful game. In the first innings he made no fewer than 47 of the 64 runs while he was at the wickets, and but for him the total must have been insignificant. Except that Hirst made a useful 22. the Yorkshiremen did very little until the two bowlers, Rhodes and Haigh, came together, and added 66 to the total by vigorous cricket, both being not out at close of play. On the second day, Rhodes (not out 39 over-night) nearly doubled his score, but Hiigh only survived for a few minutes. Rhodes played a defensive game for the most part, but his hits included eleven 4’s. Derby­ shire went in a second time with a balance of 61 against them, and although they did much better than in their first innings, thanks chiefly to good play by Wright, Warren ana Lawton, they were only 143 runs on when the innings ended. Wright was fourth out at 128, and made his 78 in an hour and a half by splendid cricket. By the tim* that stumps were drawn, Yorkshire had made pretty sure of victory, for with only three wickets down, the total was 87, so that they only required 67 runs on Saturday to win. Denton played very well, but ought to have been out to an easy c itch a moment or two after the innings bfgan. On Saturday, Hirst, who was not out 14 over night, and Smith, not out 3, knocked off the runs without beirg separated. D erbyshire . First innings. Second innings. L. G.
