Cricket 1904

402 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 15, 1904. —not perhaps good enough for first-class cricket yet, but with the makings of fine players iu them. Am ong those whose names occur to me at the present moment are Faulkner, a fine medium-paced bowler and good bat, R . Norden, a left hand bowler, of about slow medium p a ce ; Tillard, a right hand b ow ler; Wisbart, a very promising bat'; the two brothers Floquet, Louw , and Schulman are also most promising. We had to leave behind one of the most promising players of all in C. J. E. Smith, who played such fine cricket against the Australians. For unfortunately he completely lost his form last season, and he had to be left out. But I have no doubt that he w ill get his form back again. There are several very promising players at Pretoria. Am ong them are Niemeyer, a left hand bowler who is quite g o o d ; Yogler, quite a youngster, but a good right hand bow ler; and Zulch, who is a promising bat.” “ Are you satisfied with the results of the recent tour ? ” “ W ith the results— as far as the cricket played by the team is concerned—yes. But I ’m afraid that Mr. Abe Bailey, who so kindly guaranteed the expenses, will suffer considerably. Our gates have been very small at most of the large towns like Manchester, Bristol, Liver­ pool, Nottingham , Derby and Birm ing­ ham, although at Canterbury and small towns they were sometimes good. Mr. Bailey is a thorough sportsman, like Mr. J. D . Logan, and South African ciicketers owe an immense debt to both of them for the pub’.ic-spirited way in which they have supported the game. As an instance of the way in which they have come forward, I may perhaps men­ tion that when it was decided to give Frank Hearne a benefit match at Cape Town, and there were difficulties about getting a visiting team, Mr. Bailey promptly offered to pay all the expenses of a team from Johannesburg, and so ihe match came cfif - unfortunately forHearne in ehockiugly bad weather.” W .

Two very powerful teams had been got together by Mr. Carless for this match, although the South were without Ranjitsinhji, Fry and L. C. H. Palairet, while Maclaren, Hallows, A. O. Jones and Spooner were missing from the North. On the first day of the match rain fell so heavily in the morning that no play was possible. On Friday the weather was fine, and play began on a very soft wicket soon after eleven o’clock. During the day 380 runs were scored for the loss of thirteen wickets. The South finished the day with much the worst of the game, for against the total of 319 made by the North they had only scored 61 for the loss of Hayward, Bosanquet and S. H. Day. The North began badly enough by losing Ernest Smith, Denton and Tyldesley for 26 runs. Hirst and Tunnicliffe made a useful stand which produced 47 runs in half-an-hour, the former being dismissed with the total at 73 and the latter at 75. Thus five wickets were down, and with only 14 more runs added John Gunn was out. It seemed quite on the cards that the total might not even reach a hundred, but when Rhodes joined King some really brilliant batting was seen. Before lunch the two men put on 83 runs in a little less than an hour, and it was not until the score had been increased by 147 for the seventh wicket in an hour and a-half that King was caught in the long field when he only required eight more runs to complete his hundred. He had been at the wickets for a couple of hours, and there was no fault at all to be found with his batting. Lilley helped Rhodes to put on 69 for the next wicket, and Rhodes was within seven of his hundred, when, like King, he was caught in the long field by Hayward. He played a fine game and was batting for about two hours and a-half. When the Sou’h went in Hayward and Bosanquet played excellent cricket, and all went well until, when 50 runs had been made in half- an-hour, Hirst went on to bowl and met with such success that three men were out to him before stumps were drawn. Bosanquet left at 52, and Hayward at 55. At the close of the day Hirst had taken three wickets for 2 runs 6 overs, five of which were maidens. On Saturday there was a full and most inter­ esting day’s cricket, and the match was won by the North a few minutes before time. The bowlers had so much the best of the situation when the game was resumed at half­ past eleven that Hirbt and Haigh disposed of the remaining seven wickets in about an hour and ten minutes for 49 runs. As the South were 209 runsbehind theywere made to follow- on. Hayward was run out by his partner be­ fore he had scored, and at lunch time the total was 30 for two wickets. Day was out l.b.w. soon afterwards, and then Beldam and Braund, by attractive cricket, raised the score from 41 to 90 in half-an-hour. But five wickets were down for 94 when Jessop joined Braund, who was playing in quite his old form. Jessop hit hard and so frequently that in less than half-an-hour he made his fifty, and in about thirty-five minutes the partnership produced 79, of which Jessop claimed 58. Braund continued to play well, and was within easy distance of his hundred when he was stumped by Lilley. He was at the wickets for a couple of hours for his fine innings of 84, which was perhaps his best display of the season. The North were left to make 32 runs in thirty-five minutes, and Ernest Smith and Tunnicliffe set to work with such determina­ tion that the match was won with a quarter of an hour to spare.
