Cricket 1909

370 CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 2, 1909. 81 wickets, he played a not-out innings of 172 against Sussex at Brighton, putting on 428 runs for the sixth wicket with Noble, who scored 284. But Armstrong has ever been a man of large innings and prolific partnerships. In April, 1904, when playing for Melbourne against Melbourne University, he made 438 in 395 minutes, hitting a 5 and forty-six 4's, and with E . Monfries (123) increased the total by 433 for the fifth wicket. H is doings for tbe Melbourne Club that season showed an aggregate of 812 and an average of 135-33. H is innings of 303 not out against Somerset at Bath four years ago ranks as the highest ever made for an Australian team in this country, whilst his 335 for Melbourne v. Southlands, at Wellington in March, 1906, constitutes a record for New Zealand. South Africans also have good cause to remember his capabilities as a run-getter, seeing that in the Test-match at Johannesburg on October 18th 20th and 21st, 1902, he made 49 in his first innings and 159 not out in his second. But of him it may truly be said that, whether he bas been playing in his native land, in England, New Zealand or South Africa, he has not failed to leave his m ark—and a very large mark, too— on the score-sheet.
