Cricket 1903

A pril 9, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 59 T h e communications from the honorary secretaries to the committee who are arranging for the visit of a native Indian team to England next year, the secretaries of the Marylebone and Surrey County Clubs referred to ia “ another place ” have, I understand, duly reached their destinations here. The purport is to obtain information as to the probable support in the shape of a guarantee which the committee may expect from M.C.C. and the principal clubs on this side. T h e only addition to the programme for the Gentlemen of Philadelphia during the last few weeks has been a match at Cardiff on July 30th against the Glamor­ ganshire C.C. The Philadelphians have the choice of two matches in London on July 23rd, but have not come to a definite decision as yet. They are reserving July 2nd, 3rd and 4th in order to see the Inter-University match, and as they will keep July 20th and two following days for a rest, there is now no vacant date on their list. T h e Kent Executive have arranged the following Club and Ground Matches for this summer: — June 4, Bromley and Uiktriet at Bromley. June 29, Catford and District at Catford. July 15, Gravtsend and District at Gravesend. July 31, Ashford and District at Ashford. Aug. 17, Canterbury and District at Canterbury. Aug. 26, Wilmington and District at Wilmington. “ A y r e s * Cricket Companion for 1903 ” is now in its second year of issue. It is published at 6 i. by Mr. F. H. Ayres, 111, Aldersgate Street, E.C., and contains many items of interest and use. A long article on “ Peeps into the past ” is illus­ trated by reproductions of old cricket engravings. In a list of the catches made by various Leldsmen in first-class cricket last year, we notice that three wicket-keepers take the first three places, as was natural, but that Braund and Hayes are very nearly level with them. A n entertaining little book is “ The A. B.C. of Cricket.” It consists of a series of drawings in silhouette by Mr. Hugh Fielding, each illustrating something in the game beginning with a letter of the alphabet. T for Toss up strikes us as particularly good. The book is published by Chatto and Windus at the price of a shilling, which, we fear, is likely to handicap its sale. LORD HAWKE ’S TEAM IN NEW ZEALAND. THE OTAGO MATCH. FOURTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Dunedin on February 13 and 14. Lord Hawke’s Team won by an innings and 230 runs. This match was chiefly remarkable for the splendid batting of Warner, who after the local team had been put out on a first-class wicket for a small score, batted for four hours and-a-half in perfect style. At the close of the first day his score was 65 not out, and the Englishmen had lost a wicket for 134. His tine innings included twenty-seven 4’s. Fane also batted in brilliant style. In the second innings of the home team, Siedeberg who was particularly strong on the off-side, played an innings which was a credit to the colony. L ord H a w k s ’ s T eam . C. J.

Played at Invercargill, on February 18 and 19. Lord Hawke’s Team won by seven wickets. The bowlers had much the best of matters in this match, and very few batsmen could get going. Burnup and Bosanquet both played good cricket for the Englishmen, while of the New Zealanders, Burnes, Wilson and Tapley showed good form. S outhland . THE SOUTH ISLAND MATCH. SIXTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Dunedin, on February 21 and 23. Lord Hawke’s Team won by an innings and 130 runs. Although the South Island team was con­ sidered to be strong, it entirely failed to distinguish itself in this match, which was chiefly remarkable for the fine bowling of Hargreave in the first innings, and for the batting of T. L. Taylor and Bosanquet. The South Islanders were outclassed, but for all that, one or two of them, notably Howden and Boxshall in the second innings, played attractive cricket. In their second innings Burnup bowled uncommonly well. Calla­ way, who did so finely with the ball in one of the earlier matches, was on this occasion quite unsuccessful, his only wicket costing 87 runs. L ord H aw ke ’ s T eam . First innings.
