Cricket 1905

220 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 22, 1905. Browning, the Irish cricketer. In this week’s match for Dublin University he scored nearly half the runs from the bat made by his side in each innings of the game; he twice scored over fifty, and although all the Australians had two innings against very much weaker bowl­ ing, he scored more runs than any of them. I h e a r that the South African Cricket Association has cabled to the M.C.C. offering a guarantee of £3,000 if an English team tours in South Africa this winter, provided that three test matches are played. I n the course of yesterday’s match at the Oval, between Lloyds’ and Combined Shipping Companies, E. P. Nicholls, in the first innings of the former, drove a ball back so hard that the bowler, Wood­ cock, could only arrest it with his shoulder. The ball dropped on the shoulder of the other batsman, C. M. Reiner, and was held by the bowler before it touched the ground. Result— E. P. Nicholls, c and b Woodcock. WARW ICKSHIRE v. OXFORD. Played at Oxford on June 19, 20, and 21.

Tonbridge was enfete on Monday,and as the weather seemed most promising, the outlook for the Festival was good. As there had been very little rain for two or three days in the neighbourhood, Sussex seemed to have a piece of good luck in winning the toss, but the wicket always helped the bowlers, and the ball came along at a varied pace. To the surprise of the spectators C. B. Fry did not accompany Vine to the wickets; it was afterwards stated that he had hurt his ami. Sussex lost Vine at 26, and two more men were out when the score stood at 39. Meanwhile Heygate was playing an excellent game, and when he was joined by Fry for the fourth wicket, the score rose steadily. But at 70 Fry, who had been batting for forty minutes, played on for nine, and then things went so badly for Sussex that nine wickets were down for 140. Heygate was ninth out; he had played very sound cricket for three hours, and his success was rewarded with well deserved applause. The last wicket gave a great deal of trouble to Kent, for C. L. A. Smith, who had been batting very cautiously as long as Heygate was his partner, began to hit out with great power. Three times in an over from Blythe lie hit the ball over the boundary, the third hit going out of the ground. His efforts were well seconded by Butt, and in the course of forty minutes the two men increased the score by 77 mns. Kent had to bat for an hour and three- quarters, and found the bowling of Cox and Relf so difficult that they had lost nine wickets for 82 before stumps were drawn, thus being 135 mns behind. Fry made a fine catch at cover-point, disposing of Blythe. On Tuesday the Kent innings soon came to an end, Cox and Relf having a fine analysis. Sussex had a lead of 127, and in their second innings Fry did not place himself in late as on Monday, but accompanied Vine to the wickets as usual. The score was taken to 65, when rain caused a delay. After lunch Fry was in magnificent form, while Vine kept steadily on until the total was 107, of which he claimed 22 , the partnership thus adding one more to the long list of hundreds for the first wicket made by the two Sussex men. Killick did not remain long, but Heygate became a most useful partner to Fry, ana the two men put on 126 mns for the third wicket in an hour and a-half before Fry was bowled by Hearne for a superb innings of 175 which had taken him three hours and a-half to put together; his hits included twenty-two 4’s. When the day’s play ended the Sussex total was 328 for four wickets-a lead of 455. Heygate carried his bat for 68 , an excellent innings in every way. Yesterday morning Fry declared, and although Marsham, Hutchings and Day were in good form, the match was over before three o’clock. S ussex . First innings. Vine, lbw, b Blythe ..........15 H. J.

FOURTEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Dublin on June 19, 20 and 21. Australians won b y 231 runs. The Irishmen must have been agreeably surprised at their position at the end of the first day’s cricket in this match, for although their bowling is anything but strong, they dismissed the Aus­ tralians on a fairly easy wicket for 232, and made 116 for the loss of five wickets. In addition to this one of their men, F. H. Browning, played the best innings of the day. The Australians left out Darling, Hill, Laver, and McLeod. From the point of view of the Australians the most interesting feature of the day’s cricket must have been the success of Gehrs, who, after being a failure for so long, has at last re­ gained his form. 'His innings of 52 was satisfactory in every way. He showed a great command over the bowling, and was nearly an hour at the wicket. Meldon bowled very well indeed for the University. The Irishmen lost three wickets for 11 mns, but Browning and Fausset then made a most valuable stand which produced 80 runs. Browning’s batting was worthy of the highest praise. When stumps were drawn the Irishmen were 116 mns behind with half their wickets in hand, and although it was long odds that they were in for a severe defeat, they had at least held their own 011 the first day. On Tuesday the Irish tail was soon disposed of. In their second innings on a greatly improved wicket the Australians made 276, Tmmper shewing his very best form in scoring his 65 in fifty minutes. The University had to make 366 to win, and before stumps were drawn they scored five without loss. There was never the slightest chance yesterday that the runs would be made, but Browning covered himself with glory by playing another brilliant innings. A ustralians . First innings. Second innings.
