( t w e n t y - f i r s t o p t h e t o u r .) AN INNINGS OF 303 NOT OUT BY ARMSTRONG. Played at Bath on July 13, 14 and 15. Drawn. During the past month the Somersetshire bowlers have largely increased the averages of several men who have played against them, and since June 27th no side has made fewer than 400 runs against them. Consequently, when it was known that the Austra­ lians had won the toss at Bath, and that the wicket was good, it was fully expected that a large score would be made, and expectation was not disap­ pointed. The innings was continued after lunch on Friday to allow Armstrong to beat Trumper’s record of 300 made against Sussex in July, 1899. The honour was not very great, perhaps, but in course of years the circumstances under which an innings is played are forgotten, and only the score remains, one more innings of 300 is added to the list, which is now becoming long, and the name of some one who stood tenth or eleventh on it becomes eleventh or twelfth. On the first day of the match the Australians made 469 for two wickets. Trumper and Armstrong went in first, and put up 145 for the first wicket in an hour and a half, Trumper, who was in magnificent form, claiming 86 of them. The second wicket fell at 172, and then Noble and Arm­ strong played out time, making runs almost as fast as they pleased, for after the first two or three Somerset bowlers are knocked off there is nothing but mediocrity to be encountered this year. Arm­ strong was not out 252, and Noble not out 107. On Friday, Armstrong played a steady and cautious game, taking an hour and a half to increase his score by 39 before lunch, which was taken at half­ past one. He had then 291 to his credit. But in order that Armstrong might beat Trumper’s score of 300, the innings was continued after lunch, although only one over was required to enable him to accom­ plish this feat. His innings lasted for six hours and a quarter, He made his first hundred in two hours and a quarter, and his second in an hour and fifty minutes. His partnership with Noble produced 32*0 for the third wicket in three hours and ten minutes, and the batting of both men was admirable in every way. Armstrong’s hits included a 6 and thirty-eight 4’s. Darling’s innings of 49 was put together in three-quarters of an hour. Somerset had now to play for a draw, and before the match ended the Australian bowlers must have seen quite as much as they wanted of Braund and Martyn. On Friday evening Braund was not out 104, and the Somerset total was 188 for four wickets. Braund and Robson put up 81 for the fourth wicket in seventy minutes by excellent cricket. On Saturday there Avas an astonishing breakdown in the Somerset batting, and the last six wickets fell for 10 runs. Braund was batting for three hours and a half, and hit fifteen 4s. It looked as if the Australians would win pretty easily, but in the follow on Somerset gave a splendid account of themselves. Martyn accompanied Braund to the wickets, and the two men at once proceeded to show that Australian bowling can be punished with great severity. In twenty minutes 50 appeared on the board, and it was not until 148 had been made— 3 more than for the first wicket of the Australians— in an hour and thirty-five minutes that Braund was caught for 62, having thus made 179 in the match. Martyn continued on his victorious career, and when stumps were drawn he was still undefeated with 130to his credit, an innings which included a 6 and twelve 4 s. It is always very difficult to make runs when the other side has made an enormous score, and the cncket played by Braund and Martyn will compare favourably wth any that has been shown against the Australians this year. It may be stated that Montgomery, the Surrey player, who is qualfying for Somerset, played for his adopted county, although he did not meet with success, and that the Somerset side also included Tom Richardson, the famous old burrey bowler. During the match 1,091 runs were made for twenty-four wickets. On Saturday Kelly was unable to play on account of an injury to his hand, and S. M. J. Woods allowed Howell to take ms place, although he was not included in the Australian team. A ustralians . R. A. Duff, c Newton, b Robson.................12 J.
