Cricket 1906

78 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A p r i l 19, 1906. A BOLD BID FOR VICTORY. “ A bold bid for victory.” That is how the Hawke>burn captain summed up the position when the University innings terminated for 202. The “ bold bid for victory” came off in a way that can only be described as extraordinary, and the two batsmen chiefly concerned in the highly sensational win have every reason to feel ju«tlv proud of their splendid achievement. Uawksburn had one hour and 33 minutes to make 203 runs. “ Hitters to the front” was the cry, and T. Rush and Carkeek stepped forth from the pavilion. How did they hit. How did they drive and cut and pull. Listen. In 18 minutes they had 50 up, in 46 minutes they had 100 up, in 60 minutes they had 157 up. Carkeek went away with a rattle of four^rs, but Rush, not to be outdone, piled the wood on, caught Carkeek, and passed him. Then neck-and- neck they went into the fifties, and into the sixties, with Rush a bare run or two in the van. Smitten hip and thigh, the students did not know where to pitch the ball to avoid punishment from the pair, who gal­ loped along ding-dong, until in one hour and a quarter the score was 183. Then this gallant, glorious chronicle of run-getting came to an end. Carkeek’s score of 74 con­ tains 12 fourers, and his strokes on both sides of the wicket were full of force and without a flaw. T. Rush, when within 6 of the coveted century, had the bad luck to be run out. He hit a grand fiver and 11 4’s, and from first to last shaped in splendidly aggressive style, his strokes in every quarter of the field being clean and true and tre­ mendously hard. Like his comrade, Carkeek, he did not give a chance. 200 went up in 84 minutes, and presently the winning hit was made, and a glorious victory, worthy to be recorded on satin and presented to each member of the team, was proclaimed for tlawksburn. The actual score when stumps were drawn was 219 for three wickets .—Australasiaii. C R IC K E T IN BUENOS A IR E S . NORTH v. SOUTH. Played at Hurlingham on Feb. 25, 26 and 27.
