What would he think if my cricketer retaliated by asking, in the pause before the sermon, how the vicarage pony took his last bolus? The two men do not understand one another. My cricketer waves the hens aside, and revenges himself, touching his hat at intervals, by some offensively obvious remarks as to a mere beginner about playing with a straight bat. And the field sniggers none too furtively.
Barnes appeared, on his face the look of one who has seen visions. "I say," he said, "is it true? Or is Stone rotting? About Wrykyn, I mean." "Yes, I was in the team." Barnes was an enthusiastic cricketer. He studied his Wisden, and he had an immense respect for Wrykyn cricket. "Are you the M. Jackson, then, who had an average of fifty-one point naught three last year?" "Yes."
Captain Crewe Robertson and Lieutenant Milligan, the famous Yorkshire cricketer, were killed, and Rolt, Jarvis, Maclaren, and Plumer himself were wounded. The Rhodesian force withdrew again to near Lobatsi, and collected itself for yet another effort. In the meantime Mafeking abandoned, as it seemed, to its fate was still as formidable as a wounded lion.
'No, sir, not quite; but I have no doubt I should be able to instruct you upon a point or two. 'Good manners, for instance? remarked the third young cricketer, without disturbing his habitual smile. 'Or what comes from not observing them, said Evan, unwilling to have Jack over-matched. 'Perhaps you'll give me a lesson now? Harry indicated a readiness to rise for either of them.
Lord Alexander Russell, when he was a boy at the Grove, kept a pack of beagles at the foot of the Hill. "There we sat in the circle vast, Hard by the tents, from noon, And looked as the day went slowly past And the runs came all too soon; And never, I think, in the years gone by, Since cricketer first went in, Did the dying so refuse to die, Or the winning so hardly win."
I remember in the days of our youth, when my friend Arthur Bowler was an eminent cricketer. Slim, swift, strong, well-built, he presented a goodly appearance on the ground in his flannel uniform. Militasti non sine gloria, Bowler my boy! Hush! We tell no tales. Mum is the word. Yonder comes Chancy his son. Now Chancy his son has taken the field and is famous among the eleven of his school.
'This way, said the first speaker; 'they notch in here it's the best place in the whole field; and the cricketer, panting on before, preceded them to the tent. 'Capital game smart sport fine exercise very, were the words which fell upon Mr.
In the first place, they would engage, like the schoolboy, in active sports, thereby giving to their limbs, which, in rural occupation and mechanical labour, are somewhat too monotonously employed, and contract the stiffness and experience the waste of a premature old age, the activity and freedom of an athlete, a cricketer, or a hunter.
His cricketing flannels he was a fine cricketer and lawn-tennis player of the sinuous oriental sort were the despair of other dandies and the scorn of the sloven; he caused the material, before it was made up, to be boiled for many hours by the Burgess charwoman under his own superintendence.
"Not a real cricketer," I was stammering meanwhile. "In the eleven?" said Lord Amersteth. "I'm afraid not," said I. "But only just out of it," declared Raffles, to my horror. "Well, well, we can't all play for the Gentlemen," said Lord Amersteth slyly. "My son Crowley only just scraped into the eleven at Harrow, and HE'S going to play.
