Cricket 1905

A ug . 24, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 365 to continue his innings owing to forgetfulness on the part of the bowler who put down thewicket with his left hand, while holding the ball in his right. After heavy rain in the night Derbyshire had a very difficult task before them, and although Lawton and Warren played with great pluck their side was 156 runs behind, and wasmade to follow on. So finely did Wright play in the second innings that there seemed a chance that Derbyshire wouldmake a good fight, but gradually the bowlers gained the upper hand and the innings closed for 198, Notts thus having to make 43 to win. Five of these runs were made without loss before play ended for the day. but yesterday runs were very difficult to obtain, and it was perhaps fortunate for Notts that they had not to make another twenty or thirty. Wass bowled exceedingly well for Notts in the first innings of Derbyshire. N otts . First innings. A. O.

Sussex won by ten wickets. There was nothing of excitement in the play at Hastings on Monday, but the spectators had the pleasure of watching good all round cricket. Sussex made 327 for four wickets before stumps were drawn. When lunch time came the Kent bowlers had met with no success, and the board showed 103 runs, with Fry 53 and Vine 45. After lunch half-an- hour*8play produced only 15runs, but,just asthe two batsmen seemed to have settled down again comfort­ ably, Vine was dismissed for a very useful 49, which had taken him two hours and a half to compile For the rest of the day the Kent bowlers had an opportunity of studying Fry’s methods, but they could not inducehim tomake a mistake. It was one of the days when Fry must exasperate and yet fascinate the opposing side, for they can *have no hope of getting his wicket or even inducing him to hurry, although they cannot but admire his wonder­ ful accuracy and perfect timing of the ball. Killick helped him to increase the score by 71, Goldie by 80, and Relf by 48 in an unfinished partnership, and when the day’s play ended he was still unde­ feated with 143 to his credit. Goldie played a most attractive innings for 46, and was at the wickets for fifty minutes. After heavy rain on Monday night the bowlershad the upper hand until towards the end of the day on Tuesday. Fry added 12runs to his score, and was then caught at cover point. He had batted for five hours and a half without making a mistake, and hit a 6 andseventeen4’s. Relf played good cricket but no one elsecould resist the bowlers tor long. On a difficult wicket Kent did badly, Relf taking seven wicketsfor 30 runs. In the follow on, with a balance against them of 330, Kent did so well that when stumps were drawn they had scored 116 for one wicket, Dillon being not out 69. More rain fell during the night, but the game was resumed at the usual time. Kent made a most plucky fight, but the fates were against them, although they held out until nearly half-past four. Seymour keptup hiswicket for two hours, and Blythe and Humphreys made a determined stand for the last wicket, adding 68 runs, and compelling Sussex to bat again. S ussex . O. B.

MIDDLESEX. Played at Bradford on August 21, 22 and 23. Abandoned. From the appearance ol the wicket at Bradford on Monday morning there did not seem much advantage in winning the toss, but it proved to be very easy, and Middlesex did well to bat first. The Yorkshire bowlers had the unusual experience of seeing the hundred go up before they had taken a wicket and it was not until the score was 131 that Warner who had gone in first with Douglas, was dismissed, Douglas following him before another run was scored. The two men were batting for two hours and ten minutes, and while both played fine cncket Warnerplayed the bettergame, nevermaking a mistake of any kind. From this time the bowlers began to make headway and, although they did not succeed in carrying everything before them, they disposed of the remaining nine wickets for an additional 154 runs, of which Bosanquet made 44 by attractive cricket. The innings came to an end for 285 just before the close of the day. Heavy rain fell in the night, but Yorkshire did much better than most of the other county teams whichj'batted on Tuesday. They made runs more quickly than Middlesex and when their innings came to an end they were only 4 runs behind, a position which reflected the greatest credit on them. Nearly every man on the side made double figures, and Denton and Hirst greatly distinguished themselves. Denton made 63 out of 99 in an hour, and a half, Jackson remaining with him for fifty minutes for his useful 17. Hirst hit most vigorously and he and Rhodes put on 60 in half-an-hour for the fifth wicket. When stumps were drawn Middlesex had scored 27 for one wicket, and were thus 31 runs on. Yester­ day Warner played a great game on a bowler’s wicket, but no else could resist Rhodes, who was in his very best form. The last five wickets fell for 12 runs. Thus, most unexpectedly, Yorkshire only had to make 92 to win. Rothery and Tunnicliffe batted so well that when rain fell five minutes before the time for luncheon Yorkshire, with all their wickets in hand, required no more than 33 to win. But all their fine efforts were thrown away, for the match had to be abandoned. M id d le se x . First innings. P. F. Warner, lbw, b Haigh 56 J.

Flayed at Leyton on August 21, 22 and 23. Drawn. On a fast and true wicket Essex scored 349 runs on Monday for the loss of six wickets. Carpenter and Fane began the innings well by making in before lunch without being separated, but at 125 Fane was well caught at mid-off for 53, after batting for a couple of hours. Perrin succeeded him and played with the utmost caution until he had made himself thoroughly familiar with the bowling bu
