Cricket 1904

210 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME J u n e 23, 1904 brothers and I had to do everything ourselves on our little cricket ground at home, and if we wanted practice we had to put up the nets ourselves. We never thought of getting a conveyance to take us to the station, which was two miles from home, and in this we were only doing what was done b y a great many other amateurs.” “ For how long were you in the Marl­ borough eleven ? ” “ Three years—in 1 8 8 1,’82 and ’83. We lost the matches against Rugby and Cheltenham in 1881, won them in the next year, and in 1883 drew with Rugby and beat Cheltenham. In the house inalches at Marlborough in 1882 I bowled fast underhand, finding that this style of bow ling was fatal to the last five or six batsmen, who either hit right across the ball or leaned on their bat without moving it. When the two school matches came I thought I would see how fast under­ hand would work against better players, and was delighted to find that they were most effective. I remember how surprised the spectators were to see fast underhand at L ord’s. Occasionally I tried this form of bow liog in after years. Once, when Middlesex were playing Notts, and we wanted to get away early in order to get to Clifton on the same day, the Notts captain declined to let us go, although there was no possible chance of finishing the match. So Webbe put me on to bow l fast underhand, a good deal to the annoy­ ance of some of our opponents, who did not seem to like them. I bowled one or two balls down before the inniDgs began, and Scotton, who as usual went in first, said, ‘ Ob, that’s the sort of thing we get on village greens.’ But he gently played back the very first ball into my hands and went away tremendously disgusted. I also remember that we did not reach Clifton until seven o’clock on the follow ­ ing morning.” “ Y ou were in the Oxford Eleven in your first year ? ” “ Yes. But there was some luck about that. It happened that the M.C.C. match at Oxford—the second trial match —was played in wet weather, and when lunch time cauie on the third day we had only finished one innings each. Towards the end of the day the M.C.C. had to go in for their second innings with such a short time before them that there seemed no potsible chance of finishing the match. So, with the idea of trying a few change bowlers Kemp began the innings with Page and me, and gave the regular bowlers a rest. But strange things happen at cricket. We got rid of the M .C.C. for 33 and won the match. I think I took seven wickets for 14 runs on that day.” Mr. Buckland relates some curious experiences which he has had on the cricket ground at Hartley Row, in North Hampshire. “ I have played there three times,” he said, “ and have had three innings, but only two balls. The first time I was caught off the first ball at point. I was run out the B t C jn d time b?fore I had received a ball, and the third time I was caught off the first ball in the deep field. Ou the other hand, I have twice taken all ten wickets there in an innings.” W . A. B e t t e s w o r t h . SUNNINODALE SCHOOL v. FARNBOROUGH SJflOOL.—Played at Sunningdale on June 15. F arn bobough .
