Allowing for the runs made in seasons prior to 1901, it seems likely that Silverlock is now nearing his 10,000 runs in second-class county cricket. Such an aggregate is most unusual in that grade, owing to the comparatively small number of match« s played. The South Wales matches, it may be mentioned, tend to lower the average, for the Monmouthshire crack’s only innings of any note in them were 61 and 64 v. the Philadel phians in 1908, 42 v. the Australians in 1909, and 83 v. the South Africans in 1907. In the eight South Wales matches he totalled 265 runs in 15 innings, and to get at his county figures these must be deducted from 6,618 in 163 (innings completed), which having done, one finds his actual county average to be just on 43. His highest score for the county to date is 246 not out v. Car marthenshire at Newport in 1909. In 1905, when his average for Monmouthshire alone was 82*60, he played innings of 206 not out, 155 not out, and 123. But his most notable achievement as a run- getter was done as recently as July last, when against Bucks at Slough he scored 102 (run out) and 113 (not out), being only the second player in minor county cricket to run up two centuries in a match. He is not a dealer in sensational hitting, though at times he scores quite fast. He plays the game, choosing the right ball to hit with great discrimination, and always giving the impression of being at home with the bowling. As a bowler Silverlock has done good work without ever reaching the level of his batting achievements. In 1901 he took 35 wickets for the county at nearly 25 each ; in 1902 he had 36 at under 16 each ; in 1903 his bag was 39 at a slightly smaller cost. He did not approach these figures again until 1909, when he had 34 at under 21 each ; but last season he was in great form, and took 52 wickets at ten-and-a-half apiece. His bowling is right-hand medium pace. J. N. P entelo w . CAMBRIDGESHIRE v. BEDFORDSHIRE.— Played at Cambridge on August 16 and 17 and left drawn. Score and analysis B e d f o r d s h ir e . B. L.
