Cricket 1905

398 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 7, 1905. describe himself as a bowler. Under the circum­ stances they did very well indeed to get rid of seven of the Players in the course of the day, although 354 runs were made. It would have puzzled a good many people to guess the names of the bowlers whom Dr. Grace would put on first; he selected Byrne and Kirk, but eventually had to go on him­ self. What is more he met with a fair amount of success. Robson kept wicket exceedingly well, only allowing 4 byes, and disposing of no fewer than four men. Rain fell during the night, but on Tuesday morning Llewellynhit the bowling all over the field, and when he was at last dismissed he had scored 186 in two hours and three-quarters. The Gentlemen had twenty minutes batting before lunch, and Dr. Grace and Fishwick kept up their wickets. After lunch Dr. Grace batted almost in his old form; he kept up an end for an hour and ten minutes and only missed his fifty by seven. Bignell and Goldie played bright cricket, but Fry was dismissed when he seemed to have settled himself for a long score. The Gentlemen’s innings came to a close just before the end of the day, the Players having a lead of 279 runs. After heavy rain the wicket helped the bowlers very considerably yesterday, and the Gentlemen, who had to follow on, were unable to cope with Dennett and Arnold. The first five wickets fell for 31 runs. P layers of th e S o u th .

( t h ir t y - s ix t h o f t h e t o u r .) Played at Leyton on September 4, 5, and 6 . Drawn. A CLOSE FINISH. Determined to avenge their defeat by Essex in the early part of the season, the Australians placed their strongest available team in the field on Monday, but Essex were unfortunate in having to do without Carpenter. Gehrs kept wicket for the Australians as in the two previous matches, and as far as the present tour is concerned he has shewn himself to be a better wicket keeper than a batsman. The Australians again won the toss—they have only lost it twice in county matches since .lune 29th - and gave a bright display of batting, although no one on the side ever succeeded in gaining a mastery over the bowling. The wicket was hard and looked true, but there was fire in it, and all through the first day it helped the bowlers greatly, fast balls being especially difficult to deal with. Six of the Australians made double figures, but the highest score was 31, and Tremlin and Buckenham always had the upper hand. The former bowled with great judgment, and made the ball get up occasionally in a disconcerting manner. In the course of the inn­ ings a ball from him rose abruptly and hit the wicket keeper (J. Freeman) in the face, and Gilling­ ham then took the gloves, making a fine catch almost immediately afterwards. When Essex went in they could make little of Cotter, whose pace beat them all except McGahey and Perrin. Cotter bowled all through the innings, which lasted for more than two hours. McGaliey’s 39 not out was a fine display of purely defensive cricket. The Aus­ tralians had a lead of 49, and before stumps were drawn they went in for an over, which did not produce any runs. On Tuesday morning Howell and Laver, the two not outs, surprised the fieldsmen, and before they were separated the score was taken to 65. of which Howell claimed 46 by vigorous cricket. From this time until the luncheon hour the play was not at all interesting, but Darling after­ wards put some life into the game. The bowling became inaccurate and the fielding indifferent, and the score mounted rapidly. Armstrong and Noble put up 98 for the third wicket, and by the time that they were parted Essex seemed quite out of the running. Trumper was not himself, and one had the unusual experience of seeing him play with diffidence. Nor was Hopkins in his best mood, but Duff was playing a very pretty game when in attempting to drive Buckenham he changed his mind and was bowled. When Cotter’s turn came, the crowd settled down to enjoya little lively cricket, but they were sadly disappointed, for he made no attempt to hit,and after playingastrangely cautious game, was presently bowled by Tremlin. Essex had to go in at about half-past five, to face a balance of 368, and with Cotter bowling somewhat slower than usual after his first over, Gillingham and Fane kept up their wickets until the game was adjourned on account of the bad light. The score was then 18. Yesterday there was no play until half-past two owing to rain. As the wicket was very slow, Essex had no time to make the runs, and therefore played for a draw, with the result that they managed to stave off defeat with the last two men at the wickets. Fane played an admirable game, and Gillingham; Perrin, McGahey, and Reeves all deserved well of their side. Essex are to be congratulated on saving the game under great difficulties.
