Cricket 1905

230 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 29, 1905 LANCASHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Worcester on June 22, 23, and 24. Drawn. But for the fine cricket shown by three men, Tyldesley, L. O. S. Poidevin, and Sharp, Lancashire would have fared badly on Thursday last. But after Maclaren and Spooner had each been dismissed for a single, Poidevin and Tyldesley raised the score from 12 to 58, and a long partnership between Sharp and Poidevin produced 81 runs in an hour. Both men were in splendid form, and while they were together they made the bowling look easy. When they were separated the bowlers soon gained the upper hand, and the last seven men (including Poidevin and Sharp) were out for 49 runs. When stumps were drawn Worcestershire had made 168 for eight wickets against the 1Lancashire total of 193, so that there was nothing to choose between the two sides. Pearson and Cuffe had a useful partnership for the second wicket, which produced 72 runs in fifty minutes, but Poidevin then began to take wickets, and at the close of play his record was 7 for 53. Another wicket fell to Poidevin on Friday morning, so that he took eight in the innings, and only had 66 runs hit off him. He followed up his fine bowling performance by making 157 not out before stumps were drawn, thus beating his previous record for Lancashire, viz. 153 against Sussex at Brighton last year. He had complete command over the bowling from the first, and his innings was almost perfect. Maclaren failed for the second time in the match, but Spooner was in brilliant form, making his 82 in a couple of hours, and Garnett made 86 by attractive cricket in an hour and three quarters. When stumps were drawn the score was 428 for six wickets, Lancashire being 436 runs on. It was perhaps as well that Maclaren did not declare his innings closed immediately the game was re­ sumed on Saturday, for although his side was leading by so many runs, tho wicket was perfect, and there were men on the Worcestershire side who can make a great effort when they see a possible chance of victory. As it was Poidevin increased his score to 168, arid was still unconquered when the innings came to its natural end. He was batting for about five hours, and his hits included 13 fours. Worces­ tershire had to make 477 runs in about five hours, a task which it was morally impossible to accom­ plish. Pearson played a great game, and H. K. Foster was in such magnificent form that when the match ended Worcestershire had very much the best of the game, requiring only 101 runs with six wickets in hand, and two men well set. The Worcestershire men are to be congratulated on making such a splendid fight. L ancashire First innings. A. C. Maclaren, c Arnold, b Wilson ........................ 1 R. H.

After a considerable amount of rain tho wicket a1, Dewsbury was slow and in favour of the bowlers* The Yorkshire captain, who won the toss, decided to send his own side in first, and Yorkshire did well to make 153, for the bowling was always very difficult to play. Only three of the team managed to make double figures, viz., Tunnicliffe, Rhodes, and Haigh. The two bowlers put on 67 runs for the sixth wicket at a time when the score seemed likely to be very small, for five wickets were down for 57 when they came together. Neither of them made runs rapidly, and Rhodes was two hours in making his capital 54. But it is not always the best policy to play a dashing game. Hargreave bowled very steadily and well all through the innings. For Warwickshire Byrne and Kinneir put up 25 for the first wicket, but after­ wards 4no one could remain with Kinneir, who, at the end of the day, was not out with 33 to his credit, the result of a stay of two hours and ten minutes at the wickets. On Friday Kinneir increased his score to 50, but no one else could make any prolonged resistance to the bowling of Rhodes, and Haigh, who both came out with fine analyses. Yorkshire went in again with a lead of 15, but although Jack­ son and Wilkinson put up 42 for the first wicket, no one else except Haigh oould do anything wi h the bowling of Santall. Warwickshire only had to make 124 to win, but the wicket was difficult, and they had to face Rhodes and Haigh. They never seemed to have any chance of making the runs, for the two Yorkshire bowlers were almost irrisistible, each taking five wickets for 26 runs. Fishwick played a very plucky innings.

Played at Tonbridge on June 22 and 23. Middlesex won by four wickets. The Kent team was unfortunate enough to find Bosanquet in great form with the bail, and it was not a little owing to his deceptive bowling that they met with a severe defeat. They won the toss, but although the wicket was good and fast, they were all out before lunch for 130, the only man who played with any confidence against Bosanquet being W. P. Harrison, the old Rugbeian, who is now at Oxford ; if he could have found anyone to stay with him he might very likely have changed the fortunes of the game. Middlesex did nothing remarkable with the bat, although Warner, Page, Tarrant, Palmer, and Trott all made useful scores, but they had a lead of 65 on the first innings, and before stumps were drawn they took a Kent wicket in the second innings for 29, Harrison being badly run out—a failing which seems to be epidemic this year in the Kent team. In their uphill task on Friday Kent did well, and would very likely have been victorious if it had not been for the lead gained by Middlesex in the first innings. As it was they made an excellent fight, and although no one on the side made a large score, were able to set Middlesex the task of making 120 to win. Moon played a fine game for Middlesex, but half the side were out for 87, and there was then a possibility that Kent might pull the match out of the fire. But Btsanquet came to the rescue of his side, and hitting with much boldness, made 41 not out, an innings which had much to do with the victory of Middlesex. K ent . First innings. Second innings.
