Cricket 1905

J uly 6, 1905. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 255 ball travelled quickly to the boundary. But with the total at 20 Trumper was completely beaten by Warren; at 33 Hill was caught and bowled by Hirst, and at 36 Noble was taken at second slip. Thus the three most dangerous men on the side were out. But there was no break down, for Duff and Armstrong played an attractive game, and the score was taken to 96 before Duff was caught at the wicket off Blythe, after batting well for an hour and a quarter. At 105 Darling was well taken in the slips with one hand by Bosanquet, and five wickets were down. Hopkins and Armstrong then put a much better appearance on the game, and Bosanquet was tried with the ball, but he could not get a length, and the batsmen had no difficulty in dealing effectively with him. The score was taken to 161 by very pretty cricket before Hopkins was caught at the wicket off Jackson. This was the beginning of the end, and the tail did very little, the last three wickets falling for four runs. Armstrong was ninth out for a splendid innings of 66, which took him two hours and a quarter to compile. His runs were made at a most opportune time for his side. On the whole the batting of the Australians was dis­ appointing, for only three men made double figures. Warren bowled exceedingly well, and his debut for England was a great success. With a lead of 106, England began their second innings with Fry and Hayward. To the great surprise of the spectators, the Austra­ lians seem to have made up their minds that their best course would be to play for a draw. At any rate, Armstrong began the bowling, and for three hours and a quarter, that is to say, until the day’s play ended, ho was bowling without a rest, generally wide of the leg stump. On the other hand, McLeod bowled chiefly wide of ihe off stump. Fry and Hayward made runs very slowly, and the former did not make his second run until he had been at the wickets for thirty- five minutes. The rate of scoring was very slow, and when at last the first wicket fell, Fry being given out, caught at the wicket, in turning jround to try to hit Armstrong, eighty runs were up and the game had been in progress for an hour and forty minutes But although the Australians had succeeded in keeping down the runs, they had not prevented England from placing themselves in a splendid position, thanks to the play of their two first wicket men, and the remaining batsmen were enabled to take risks. Con­ sequently the scoring became more rapid, and when stumps were drawn, the total was 169 for two wickets. TyldesLy, being not out 62, and Denton not out 11. Tyldesley played a superb innings of exactly the kind which was wanted by his side, and his runs were made out of 89 in eighty minutes. England were now 275 runs on, with eight wickets in hand, so that even the most pessimistic cricketer must have felt that they were not likely to suffer a severe defeat. On the other hand an optimist would hardly have ventured to prophesy that the Australians, on such an easy wicket, would not be able to spin out time. Yesterday the Englishmen made runs as quickly as they could, with Armstrong slill bowling to leg, and at a quarter to one Jackson declared, leaving the Australians four hours and three-quarters to make 402 runf. This was by no means an impossible feat, since the wicket was better than it ever was, but the Australians made no attempt to get the runs. Trumper was out for a duck’s egg, and at 36 Duii was bowled; but after this there was never much chance that any other result than a draw would be arrived at. Bosanquet failed to inspire the batsmen with terror, but a bowler of his qualities has his good days and his bad ones, stumps were drawn at a quarter-past six. E ngland . First innings. O. B.

WARWICKSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Edgbaston on July 3, 4 and 5. Warwickshire won by eight wickets. On a somewhat difficult wicket Essex fared badly before lunch on Monday, losing seven wickets for 78, but afterwards the tail played up so well that in the end the total was not by any means to bo despised. Douglas shewed a very stubborn defence in making his 55, and was at the wicket for nearly three hours; Read, on the other hand, hit with great boldness, making his 70 out of 92 in an hour and five minutes, his hits including eleven 4’s. This is his highest score in first-class cricket. Buckenham made a use­ ful 35. When stumps were drawn the Warwick­ shire score was 31 for one wicket, the whole day’s play having produced 270 runs. On Tuesday Kin­ neir continued to play his* usual cautious game, and he had been at the wickets for two hours and a- quarter when he reached his fifiy; he was eventually out for 103 after batting for three hours and-a-half. Fishwick played an attractive game, and made his first hundred out of 175, his entire innings lasting for two hours and twenty minutes. He and Field put up 73 for the ninth wicket in half-an-hour. Warwickshire had a lead of 113, and Essex knocked off 65 of the runs for the loss of a wicket before stumps were drawn. Perrin, who seemed to have found himself at last, was not out 17, andCarpenter not out 29. Yesterday Perrin played with the utmost steadiness, and when he was out for 47 he had been batting for two hours and a quarter, his partnership with Carpenter producing 119 runs. But, although Carpenter played a splendid game, the tail did very little, and Warwickshire only had to make 96 to win. E ssex .
