Cricket 1904

J une 2, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 173 innings. To him Bosanquet offered no terrors, and he hit finely all round the wioket, his management of the bowling when the last two or three men were in with him bting very good indeed; he was batting for less than an hour for his 68 not out, which included eleven fours. Dr. Grace played well for his 27 when the M.C.C. went in, but the only other men who did justice to their reputations were Captain Wynyard and Thompson. The former played a fine all round game for an hour and a quarter. When stumps were drawn the M.C.C. were two runs on and had lost eight wickets. On Tuesday and yesterday there was no play owing to heavy and persistent raia. S o u t h A f r ic a n s . L. J. T. Tancred, lbw, b Bosanquet ... 24 W. A. Shalders. c Trott, b Bosanquet ... 47 M.

Played at Sheffield on May 30, 31 and June 1. Drawn. Owing to the bad weather this match was not commenced until nearly half-past three on Monday, and on account of the bad light stumps were drawn at ten minutes to six. The wicket was soft, but not difficult, and the bowlers, who were handicapped by a greasy ball, did not show to much advantage. But after a fine stand for the second wicket by Bowley and Arnold, three wickets fell in a few minutes, and when the short day’s play ended the total was 141 for five wickets, 123 of the runs having been made by the two professionals, who were together for a little over two hours. On Tuesday there was no play owing to rain. Yesterday play began at ten minutes to twelve, under conditions of the most miserable kind. The Worcestershire innings came to a close jnst before lunch, after some particularly tedious cricket. On a wicket which was becoming difficult the Yorkshiremen offered but a poor resistance tothe Worcestershire bowler-., and when the innings came to an end, they were 104 runs behind. Not tnat this mattered much, for although Worcestershire could do very little in their second innings, there was no time to finish the match. W o r c e s t e r s h ir e . First innings.

Abandoned. Several alterations were made in the Sussex team for this match, C. L. A. Smith, G. Brann, C. H. M. Ebden and Tate (who has a damaged hand) standing down for W . Newham, Seymour, Leach and Seal, a player from Ringmer, and a nephew of Parris, the old Sussex bowler. Leicestershire batted first on a wicket which was soft, and not much in favour of the bowlers, but the batting was without spirit, and V. F. S. Crawford was the only man on the side who could show any effective resistance to them. Cox bowled very well indeed, although he was greatly helped by the want of enterprise shown by his oppo­ nents The situation was entirely changed soon after Fry and Vine began the Sussex innings, for, after an opening which must have made Sussex men very anxious, the two first wicket batsmen settled down to play fine cricket It was not until the total was 91 that Vine was dismissed. Two more men were soon out, but Ranjitsinhji then joined Fry who had been playing brilliant cricket, and for an hour and a quarter the bowlers were defied. Ranjitsinhji was then dismissed, having contributed 27 to a total of 112 produced by the partnership. Still Fry continued to play a great game, such as perhaps no other modern cricketer couldhave played, and when stumps were drawn he was still un- onquered with lwl to his credit out of 279 for seven wickets. He had been batting for three hours and a quarter, and his incomplete innings included twenty eight fours. His first 50 runs weremade out of 80 in a few minutes less than an hour; his hundred in an hour and fifty minutes. There was no play either on Tuesday or yesterday, owing to continued rain.
