Cricket 1911

390 CR ICKET : A W EEK LY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 5, 19 11. The fact is that the Lancashire Committee did not persevere with him : at that time he was not quite up to county form, and so he was dropped. Doubtless other county clubs would have made the same mistake. “ As you visited South Africa as a member of the M.C.C.’s team eighteen months ago, you will be able to say what constitutes the chief difference between the game as played there and in England ? ” “ The chief difference is in the wickets. Out there we played all our games on matting, on which the ball gets up higher and turns more than on turf. New bowlers? No ; I think that all the best performers we ran against are already known to Englishmen.” It may be mentioned that Mr. Bird was fifth in the averages during that trip, and that he bowled well on the comparatively few occasions that he was tried. In the first four matches of the tour he scored 67, 76, 22 and 27, and 115 and 12, and in the first Test- match obtained three wickets—those of Faulkner, Commaille and Vogler— for 11 runs in a total of 345. “ Is there any innings during your career that you look back upon with special pleasure ? ” “ I think not. I always enjoy getting runs, though, of course, there are certain sides against which I should prefer to do well. For instance, I would sooner make a hundred against Kent than against Derbyshire, and probably there are others who feel the same.” “ Mention of Kent recalls the fact that Surrey still find it a difficult matter to win at Blackheath.” “ That is s o ; but we have not * Blackheath ’ on the nerves, as some people have amiably suggested. Sometimes everything seems to be against one side and to favour the other. It was so last week, when we did not happen to be the lucky ones. I feel I can say this, for it is no disgrace to be beaten by so strong a side and one which always plays the game in a thoroughly sporting spirit.” BUCKS v. MONMOUTHSHIRE.—Played at Slough on July 21 and left drawn. Silverlock, who made two hundreds, was missed when 89 first innings but gave no chance in his second. Score and analysis :— First innings.
