Cricket 1904

Ana. 11, 1904. CRICKETk A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 333 THE SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM. THE MATCH AGAINST NOTTS. (NINETEENTH OF TH E TOUR.) Played at Trent Bridge on August 8, 9 and 10. South Africans won by an innings and 49 runs. In the absence of A. O. Jones, Iremonger, Wass, J. Gunn and Oates, the Notts team was very greatly -weakened. H. A Cursham, who has not played for the county for many years, acted as captain. Notts won the toi-s. and Hemingway and George Gunn made a fine commencement for them, putting up 153 before lunch without being separated, and bringing the total to If5 in two hours before the first wicket fell. But afterwards the batting broke down, as it has so often done this season, ana the last six wickets fell in the coarse of an hour for 46 runs. Before stumps were drawn Shalders and Tancred made 37 for the South Africans without being separated. So weak was the bowling of Notts, and so good the wicket that the South Africans, who are in great form just now, made an example of their opponents. They kept at the wickets all day and scored 611, nearly every man on the side playing fine cricket. Shalders and Tancred seemed quite capable of making a record for the first wicket when the former slipped when running and sat down in the middle of the pitch. Pennington bowled very well indeed. Yester­ day Notts made a very plucky effort to save them­ selves from defeat. N otts . First innings. G. Gunn, c Snooke,b Kofzal43 R. E. Hemingway, b Kotze 85 Day, c and b Schwarz........ 0 Rev. H.

DERBYSHIRE. Played at Chesterfield on August 8, 9 and 10. Derbyshire won by 139 runs. There was some curious and interesting cricket on the first day of this match. Each side completed an innings, and Derbyshire had a lead of 84 runx, thanks chiefly to some remarkably successful bowling by Ashcroft, who, when Warren became lame, took hi* place and disposed of five men for only 18runs. The chief feature of the day’ s cricket was the batting of Ollivierre and Curgenven, who put on 87 runs for the fourth Derbyshire wieket by first-class play. Dr. Grace bowled exceedingly well for London County, Wid in addition to this he played by far the beat innings on his side. The London County total would have been even less than it was if catches had been held, for Sewell and McGahey, who made a stand after the first two wickets fell, were both missed before ten runs were up. So much progress was made with the match on Tuesday that when stumps were drawn London County had made 184 for 6 wickets of the 366 run* required to win. The most attractive innings of the day was the 68 by Lawton, who scored at the rate of about a run a minute, and played a brilliant game. At the end of the day, with his side in a very tight place, Dr. Grace was not out 4. Yesterday Derbyshire won very easily. D erbyshire . First innings. Second innings. L. G.

With both Fry and Ranjitsinhji in the team Sussex may do anything in the w y of surprises, and it was but natural that Lancashire should hive been a little anxious about the result of their meeting with their erratic but often brilliant opponents. Ai things turned out, it was not a great advantage for Sussex to win the toss, for during the first half of the day the wicket helped the bowlers, which accounts for the small total made by the home team. The only out­ standing innings was that of Ranjitsinhji, who played a magnificent game when all the rest of his side were in difficulties with the bowling; if there bad been no such thing as over-anxiety to bring one’s score to a hundred, he would probably have teen still batting at the end of the day, but when his score was at 99 he tried to place the ball to leg and was caught and bowled off the edge of his bat. His 99 runs were made out of 186, aud his hits included fifteen 4’s ; he was at the wicktts for two hours and a half. Tne Lancashire batsmen, with the exception of Spooner, who played a brilliant game and made some fine drives, were a'most as much at sea as the Sussex men, and when stumps were drawn their total was 102 for four wickets. On Tuesday morning Lancashire went ahead, thanks chiefly to finebatting by Poidevin, who seemed to find no difficulty whatever in the fowling, although no one else except Maclaren and Findlay did very much. Poidevin was batting for four hours and a half. Sussex, with a deficit of 108 to face, met with a great disaster *efore a run had been scored, for Fry was lbw to Hallows for the second time in the match. But Yine and Killick set to work manfully, and kept together for about an hour, and at the end of the day Ranjitsinhji (not out 19) and Vine (not out 11) played out time, with the total at 65 for two wickets. Ranjitsinhji played a magni­ ficent game yesterday, and it was very largely due to his efforts that when the mat3h ended Sussex were in such a favourable position. Newham helped him considerably, and when he was j >inad by Relf the Lancashire bowling was so completely collared that no more wickets fell. S ussex . C. B.
