Cricket 1905

94 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A pril 27, 1905. THE NOTTS’ COLTS MATCH. Played at Trent Bridge on April 24 and 25. Drawn. The lateness of Easter this year induced the Notts committee to revert to their old custom of beginning this match on Easter Monday, although they had discarded it for some years. Unfortunately the weather was as unpromising as it has so often been at Easter time, and, as a test for colts, thematch was not much of a success. Beardsall batted in good style, but when George Gunn and Speak, a slow leg-break bowler, were put on they carried every before them. G. Gunn and Hardstaff played well for the eleven on Easter Monday, the latter being 36 not out when stumps were drawn, with the total at 95 for five wickets. Iremonger, who is still playing football, and J. Gunn were absent from the Notts eleven. , T he T wenty -T wo . First innings. W. Langham (Bradmore), b Pennington ................. 9 E.

Played at the Oval on April 24, 25 and 26. Drawn. Owing to the inclemency of the weather and various other reasons, Dr. Grace was not able to place such a strong Gentlemen of England eleven in the field as he had hoped, and on paper at any rate it was very weak in bowling. As things turned out, G.W. Beldam and W . Brearley were able to dismiss Surrey for a moderate score in the first innings on Monday, and although Surrey made 81 without losing a wicket in the second innings the game was in a fairly even position when stumps were drawn. Hayward shaped well, but did not make a long stay at the wickets. When Hobbs and Hayes were together there seemed a fair chance that a long score would be made, for after settling down both men showed good form and were making them­ selves comfortable when the partnership was broken. The wicket was excellent for the time of the year, but every now and then a ball jumped, and when the two bowlers once began to make headway there was no resisting them. At one time Brearley, after he had found his length, took five wickets for four runs in six overs. The catch by which Sewell disposed of Baily at slip was very clever, for the ball was going away from him fast. Beldam bowled uncommonly well all through the innings. As Surrey were out just before lunch, W.G. sent Odell and Brewer to^thewickets, but Odell waspromptly caught at the wicket. After lunch, the Gentlemen could do very little against the bowling of Lees and Knox, although Beldam played a good game, while Townsend was in quite his old form, being not out 41 when the innings came to an end; he was at the wickets for about an hour. When Surrey went in again Hayward and Hobbs played such fine cricket on an improving pitch that they scored 81 without loss in an hour, Hay­ ward being not out 29 and Hobbs not out 44. Cold weather combined with April showers made the game unpleasant on Tuesday both for spectators and players, and after lunch the rain was so persistent that there was no more play. Hayward and Hobbs resumed their innings and the total had been raised to 100 when the former was bowled off his pads. In the same over Hayes was bowled. Davis played pretty cricket and the score was raised by 51 runsbefore the partnership was broken, Hobbs being caught at square leg for a fine innings of 88, which had taken him two hours to compile. Among his hits were eleven 4’s. His form during this innings was so good as to warrantthe hopes of Surrey men that he will make many fine scores this season, even if he cannot quite fill the place of Abel. After he was out the wickets began to fall rapidly, although R. E. H. Baily played a valuable defensive innings, being not out 30 when the game was abandoned for the day with the total at 215 for seven wickets. Surrey were thus 186 runs on, with an excellent chance of winning the match. Yesterday, Baily continued to play sound cricket and found a useful partner in Sted- man ; the score was increased by 71 in an hour before the latter was caught at cover- point. Baily survived until nearly the end of the innings, his score of 61 being invaluable tolhis side. The Gentlemen, requiring 254 runs to win, began their second innings with W.G. and Beldam, and so well did the two men bat that the score was taken to 53 in just over half-an-hour, W.G. making some brilliant hits, including a sixer, and showing much of his old form. Rain fell during lunch-time, and play was not resumed until half-past four. Five wickets fell quickly and it looked as if Surrey would win, blit Towns­ end and Odell then played out time. S urrey .
