Cricket 1905

M a y 4, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 109 SURREY ELEVEN v. NEXT SIXTEEN. Played at the Oval on May 1 and 2. The Eleven won by an innings and 95 runs. On the first day of this match in wretched weather the young players gave a disappoint­ ing exhibition of cricket, both in batting and bowling. It is true that Abel, jun. played a very useful innings in promising style, and there is no reason that one can see why he should not develop into a fine cricketer, but for the most part the colts seemed dispirited— no doubt the weather had much to do with this. Abel was at the wickets for about an hour and a half and showed sound defence. The Surrey bowling did not strike one as being likely to frighten batsmen in the coming season, but it was very effective against the colts. When the Surrey eleven went in to face a total of 149, with twelve men in the field, Holland, Hayes, Baker, Davis and Hayward all found the bowling easy enough. Holland played most attractive cricket for an hour and three-quarters and hit fifteen 4’s in his 91. When stumps were drawn the total was 296 for four wickets, Baker being not out 78 and Hayward not out 28. On Tuesday> the wicket was soft and not very difficult. Hayward did not long survive and was caught from a hard drive at extra mid-off when the partnership between him and Biker had pro­ duced 86 juns in three-quarters of an hour. Baker raised his total to 110 but no one else did much. The Seventeen went in against a balance of 216. Bowring, as in the first iunings, played well, but wickets fell rapidly to the bowling of Smith and Nice. N ext XVII. First innings. Goatley, c Hobbs, b Davis 18 Moulder, b Gooder ......... 9 T.

SOUTH WALES. Played at Cardiff on May 1, 2 and 3. If orkshire won by seven wickets. Owing to the wet weather there was no play in this match until half-past three on Monday, when South Wales batted first on a sodden wicket. Against the bowling of Rhodes, Hirst and Myers the home team could do very little, but N. V. H. Riches kept up his wicket for two hours and ten minutes for his 35, and was still in when stumps were drawn with the total at 79 for seven wickets. On Tuesday the South Wales innings was soon completed, but Yorkshire found it nearly as difficult to score as their opponents. Jackson played good cricket, and when things were going badly Haigh came to the rescue of his side, and thanks largely to him Yorkshire had a lead of 29 on the first innings. When stumps were drawn South Wales had lost seven wickets for 60, J. H. Brain playing a good innings for 20. Thus when the game was resumed yesterday South Wales were only 31 runs on with three wickets in hand. Yesterday Yorkshire won with ease. S outh W ales . First innings. E. W.

The heavy rains, followed by drying winds, caused the wicket at Lord’s yesterday to be so greatly in favour of the bowlers that very considerable progress was made with the match. Notts went in, and from the way in which Jones and Iremonger shaped at the ball it was evident that run getting would be a difficult matter. Iremonger was soon out, and then John Gunn tried the effect of a hitting game, with some success. But in a remarkable over Thompson dismissed Jones, G. Gunn and Hemingway at the total of 24. Hearne soon bowled Simson, and, although Hardstaff made a determined stand and kept up his wicket, Thompson’s success continued, and when the innings ended for 47 he had taken seven wickets for 14 runs. In the second over of the M.C.C. innings Wass bowled Lord Brackley, but the score was taken to 14 at lunch-time without further loss. Afterwards King and Captain Wynyard played excellent cricket and took the total to 62 before King was bowled for a finely-played 37. The Captain continued to play well, and occa­ sionally made a fine hit. C. P. Foley played a most useful innings, and the tail did fairly well under the circumstances. The result was that the M.C.C. had a lead of 108 on the first innings. Notts gave a trial to Simson, a left-hand bowler of moderate pace, but although he kept a good length, he could only claim one wicket. There was still time for -Notts to go in again, and they began much better than in their first innings. N otts . First innings. A. O. Jones, b Thompson... 8 Iremonger, b Hearne..........
