Cricket 1905

M a t 18, 1905 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 133 YORKSHIRE y. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Worcester on May 11, 12 and 13. Yorkshire won by 65 runs. There was rain at Worcester on the morning of the first day of this match, but the game began at the usual time. Yorkshire made a shockingly bad beginning, and when play had lasted for an hour and a-hali they had lost six wickets for 71. Hirst and Haigh then came to the rescue of their side, and added 141 runs in a couple of hours. Hirst played splendid cricket, and when, on account of rain, stumps were drawn at five o’clock with the total at 219 for nine, he was not out 101. On Friday he earned his bat for 108, after being at the wicket for three hours. Cuffe bowled very well for Worcester­ shire. Worcestershire could do very little against the bowling of Hirst and Myers, and Rhodes was not required at all. Yorkshire went in again with a lead of 128 and were all out just before time for 232, thus leaving Worcestershire to make 360 runs. Hirst again played beautiful cricket, and Grimshaw and Denton did very well. On Saturday Worces­ tershire made a surprisingly good fight. With the whole day before them—six hours and ten minutes —they had scored 130 at lunch time for two wickets, and still had to make 231 in three hours and three quarters. When three hours remained they had to make 181 with seven wickets in hand, and Bowley in magnificent form. Thus, at this stage of the game, Worcestershire seemed to have a fair chance of winning. But at 192 they lost another wicket, and at 222 Bowley’s magnificent innings came to an end. He had been batting for four hours for his 151, and had played all the Yorkshire bowling with ease and confidence. As long as he was at the wickets Worcestershire seemed to have a fair chance of winning, but as soon as he was dismissed the chance was gone. It may be said that H. K. Foster, during his partnership with Bowley, was content to let the latter hit, while he himself merely kept up his wicket, taking an hour to score double figures, and only making 25 out of 74 during the partnership of an hour—a manoeuvre which might have met with success if the fates had been kind.

Played at Manchester on May 11 and 12. Lancashire won by eight wickets. At the end of the first day’s play in this match Lancashire were 79 runs on with half their wickets in hand. The wicket was somewhat fiery, and no one on the Warwickshire side except Baker, who seems likely to be a very useful cricketer, could do anything with the bowling of Hallows, Brearley and Kermode. For Lancashire Spooner played a fine innings, and Garnett batted well for his 45 not out. The Lancashire tail did not do much on Friday, but the county had a lead of 138, and as Whittle was the only Warwickshire man who could make a good score, Lancashire won with ease. Whittle made some very fine hits in his 62. W arwickshire . First innings.

Although Notts, fresh from their fine display against the Australians, batted first on a typical Brighton wicket they did not give a very good account of themselves. A. O. Jones and J. Gunn put up 89 for the second wicket, and Hemingway, after playing himself in, hit with great power, making 84 runs out of 112 while he was at the wickets. Sussex had to bat for an hour and ten minutes and lost Vine and Killick. But Fry played steady and sound cricket and was not out 37 when stumps were drawn, while Goldie, who was not out 30, was in brilliant form. The total was 95 for two wickets. Fry played a great game on the next mom* ing, but with the exception of Cox no one else on the side could make much headway against the bowling of J. Gunn. Fry made 97 and thus only just failed to make his third successive hundred. Notts, with a lead of 31 on the first innings, did so well when they went in again that by the end of the day they were 336 runs on with five wickets in hand. Thus it seemed likely that Sussex might have to play hard to make a drawn game, with very little chance indeed of winning. Iremonger and Jones put up 58 for the first wicket and G. Gunn and Hardstaff afterwards took charge of the bowling, their partnership lasting for two hours and producing 170 runs. Gunn was batting for two hours and three-quarters for his fine innings of 93. Hardstaff carried his bat for 86, and the total was 305 for five. On Saturday, Hardstaff increased his score to 93 — his highest total for Notts, and the innings closed for 362. Thus Sussex had to make 394 to win with about five hours left for play, a difficult but not impossible task. Fry and Vine made a splendid stand for the first wicket. After they had played themselves in runs came at a good pace, but there was never any question of victory or defeat for either county. The fiist wicket (Vine and Fry) produced 125 in an hour and three quarters, and the second (Killick and Fry) 102 in an hour and a half. Fry played a brilliant game, and towards the end of his innings, when he had a chance of reaching his second hundred, with his side quite safe, he hit with very great power. Just before time he reached his second hundred, after batting for four hours and a half; his hits included a 5 and twenty-six 4’s. N otts . First innings. A. O.
