Cricket 1905

D ec . 21, 1905, CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 475 to the spectators that they should declare the innings at an end while their wickets were still standing. It was the audience who would have to pick up for their next match. It appeared that after all their opponents were not goiDg to play their first eleven. At all events, the ex-captain had decided that he could not form a part of the team (laughter), because they would intist on playing not with the nice new bats which he offered them, but with bats which had already been splintered in two previous inningp. The Unionists could eDjoy that interval for refreshment with a light heart, and they would be ready to take the field the moment the umpires gave notice. They would then bowl straight, and not underhand. F IX TU R E S FOR 1906. APRIL. 16. Oval, Surrey v. Gentlemen of England 30. Oval, Surrey (1st XL) v. Next XVL MAY. 2. Lord’s, M.O.O. & Ground v.
