CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 505 In addition to these instances W arren Bardsley (in a test match) and V ictor Trumper have performed the feat for Australian team s in England, Mr. A . C. M acLaren for an English team in Australia, Denton for an English team in South Africa, M r. R . E . Foster for Oxford University and for the Gentlemen, John K ing for the Players, D r. W . G. Grace for South o f Tham es v. N orth of Thames, Mr. H . B . Chinnery for M .C.C., Joh n Tyldesley for North v. South, Mr. P. F. Warner for England v. Notts, and W illiam Lambert, nearly 100 years ago, for Sussex (with Lam bert and Mr. G. Osbaldeston) v. Epsom . It has also been done several times in inter-State matches in Australia. T h e b e have been ten instances this season, and the feat in the annals o f first-class cricket. The three largest aggregates credited to a wicket-keeper as the result o f a season’s w ork are now as follow s :— Wkts. Year. 100 (c. 62, st. 38), F. H. Huish, of Kent ... 1911. 91 (c. 71, st. 20), H. Strudwick, of Surrey ... 1903. 86 (c. 57, st. 29), F. H. Huish, of Kent ... ... 1908. It was remarkable that the record set up by Strudwick eight years ago should have been established in his first year as a m ember o f the Surrey E leven. O n the D erby County ground on August 28th, X I. D erby ­ shire Clergy (274 for five wickets, innings declared closed) played X I . Leicestershire Clergy (137 for eight wickets).

But the statement so often seen that “ everybody has done it ” is a long way off the truth. T o m ention only a few, and all o f them quite modern players in the front rank.it has never been accomplished by the H on. F . S. Jackson, Mr. H . K. Foster, Mr. R . H . Spooner, Quaife, Tarrant, V ine, G eorge Gunn, Knight, Humphreys, H ayes or B ow ley. W h e n he stumped M r. K . L. Gibson in the second innings of Essex against Kent at L eyton on Saturday, F . H . Huish obtained his 100th wicket o f the season— a feat which is unique hom e side the R ev. T. Hunter scored 82 and the Rev. H . W . B evan 81. M r . J . C. W . M a u B ry a n , who has been tried just recently for Somerset, was captain o f the E xeter S chool E leven at the early age o f fifteen. H e is the second Old E xonian to play for the county, the other being Mr. H . Martyn. C a p t.
