Cricket 1907

324 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 8, 1907. satisfactory as one could wish. Hallowed by a record of sixty-five years, the Week is a thing unique in the world of cricket. No cricket ever appears quite the same, quite so delightful, as that seen when Canterbury dons festival garb: For there I’ve been and still would go, ’Twas like a little Heaven below. Sussex is one of Kent’s oldest rivals, and it is therefore only appropriate that that County should be one of the visiting sides during the Week. The two sides are known to have met as far back as 1728, and of the 157 matches recorded between them Kent have won 77, Sussex 57, and 23 have remained unfinished. Not the least interesting game of the long series was that which finished yesterday. Mr. Mason’s fine innings was naturally the most appreciated cricket seen during the three days, but the displays by Robert Relf and Vine were of no lessmerit. A victory for Kent would have proved extremely popular, but Sussex played so finely in the second half of the game that no one would for a moment wish to begrudge them their success in effect­ ing a draw after being headed on the first innings. Those who were fortunate enough to see the Surrey v. Notts match at the Oval this week witnessed some of the best cricket of the season. When the two sides meet a keen game is invariably the result, but it may well be doubted whether better cricket has been seen in this particular match since the memorable game of 1892. Fayton’s display would alone have been sufficient to render the recent match remarkable, for it was, in more senses than one, a very great innings. Whether Jones committed an error of judg­ ment in putting the closure into force first thing yesterday morning, when his side were only 67 ahead, may be doubted in some quarters, but, judging by what happened subsequently, it is very probable that the wicket turned out far better than he considered likely. Surrey played a delightful second innings, and with such success that the curious occurrence was recorded of both sides declaring their innings closed on the same day. Although a draw was practically a foregone conclusion, the cricket was interesting and keen to the end, and Surrey did very well indeed to get down five wickets before stumps were drawn. Notts still retain their unbeaten certificate, and as aresult their metting with the South Africans on Monday next will be anticipated with added interest. CRICKET IN PORTUGAL.

Haileybury were outclassed in all departments of the game, and were heavily beaten. On the second, day, however, they were obliged to bat upon a wicket which, after heavy rain during the night,, gave the bowlers considerable help. Score and analysis:— H aileybury . First innings.

Played at Lord’ s on July 31 and August 1* Rugby won by 84 runs. Rugby played a very fine uphill game, and, con­ sidering that Marlborough passed their lirst-innings total with only one wicket down, their victory was a somewhat remarkable one. In their second innings Watson made 108 in two hours and a-quarter, and hit eighteen 4’s. He made many fine cuts and drives, and offered only one chance—when 78. With Tylden 178 were put on for the third wicket. Score and analysis R ugby . First innings. R. Cunningham, c Shaw, b Jenkins .......... ... ... 0 G. D.
