Some very interesting and even cricket was wit­ nessed on the first day of this match, Hampshire disposing of the home side for 301 and then scoring 85 without loss. The feature of the day’s play was the fine form shown by Crowe, a master at the Worcester Grammar School, who, by means of vigorous cricket, scored 70 in 70 minutes on the occasion of his dtbut. He hit two 6 ’s and thirteen 4’s, and obtained 20 off an over delivered by l^ngford by means of two 6 ’s and two 4’s. Bum s also showed capital form, scoring 52 out of 100 added with Arnold for the fifth wicket in an hour and a-half, and hitting nine 4’s. In the last seventy minutes of the day Johnston and Bowell made 85 together without being separated. During the night rain fell heavily and the wicket was somewhat against run-getting when the visitors continued their innings. The score was taken to 108 before the first wicket fell, and, although Johnston and Mead added 41 for the second, the innings closed for 183, the last eight wickets going down for 34. Johnston played an attractive game, and scored his 83 out of 161 in 140 minutes. He hit a dozen 4’s. When Worcestershire went in the second time the wicket had improved considerably, although Pearson, Foster and Hutchings were all out for 37. When Arnold joined Bowley, however, a great improve­ ment took place, the fourth wicket increasing the score by 91. Both played useful cricket, but even better was seen during the hour that Bum s and Ouffe were together. The amateur played a most brilliant game, hitting well all round without making any mistake whatever. He hit a 6 and eighteen 4’s, and batted only an hour and three- quarters for his 109. W ith Cuffe he put on 115 for the sixth wicket in an hour. A t the end of the day Worcestershire, with three wickets in hand, were 442 m ns on. On Saturday the outstanding wickets added but 19 mns, and, with 462 required to win, Hampshire could play for nothing but a draw. Bowell was sent back at 12, but Johnston and Mead added 96 for the second wicket, the score at lunch time being 108 for the loss of only two wickets. All the other members of the side reached double figures, and Hampshire succeeded in playing out time. The finish of the game, however, was most exciting, for 35 minutes remained when Badcock went in, last man, to join Stone. So well did the pair bat, however, that they not only added 57 but managed to keep their wickets intact and so stave off defeat. Score and analysis W orcestershire .
