Cricket 1905

J uly 6, 1905 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 LANCASHIRE y . SUSSEX. Played at Manchester on June 29, 30 and July 1. Drawn. On a soft wicket, which, after some rain, was at first a little difficult, although it vastly improved as time went on, Lancashire kept at the wickets nearly the whole of the first day, scoring 389. But their display cannot have been altogether satisfactory to the county, for most of the batsmen failed to distin­ guish themselves, and it was only a fine display by Poidevin and Sharp which enabled the side to make a good score. The two men made 248, nearly two-thirds of the runs, between them, their partner­ ship producing 107 in an hour and a^half. Poidevin, who just at the present time is one of the best batsmen in the world, was at the wickets for three hours and a-quarter for his splendid 138, and his hits included seventeen 4’s. Sharp made his 110 not out in two hours and a-half, hitting the same number of fours. There was nothing in the Lanca­ shire total which Sussex need have feared under ordinary circumstances, and they began the second day with all their wickets intact and four runs on the board. But on Friday the conditions were changed, and after heavy rain Sussex had a most difficult task before them. The Lancashire team went in the field at 11.30, but before a ball could be bowled rain caused an adjournment until a quarter- past one. Fry and Vine made a determined stand and put on 37 for the second wicket—a total which, under the circumstances, was as good as many a hundred which the two men have made in partner­ ship. Fry’s innings of 43 was worthy of him. Later Goldie took the bull by the horns, and with the bowlers becoming more and more difficult made 47 out of 59 for the sixth wicket in half-an-hour by really brilliant cricket. But a follow-on was inevit­ able. With a balance against them of 227 Sussex began their second innings with their usual pair, Fry and Vine, who were gamely fighting their way when rain again fell, and stumps were drawn for the day. The Sussex score was then 23 (Fry 13 and Vine 10), and it was evident that unless rain helped Sussex on Saturday nothing short of a miracle could save them from a severe defeat. As it happened rain fell heavily, and it was not possible to resume the game until a quarter-past three. This respite enabled Sussex, thanks to steady play by Fiy, Vine and Killick, to make a most honourable draw. Fry made 54 out of 77 in less than an hour, but when he was gone Vine and Killick wisely declined to take any risks whatever. They held their own for a couple of hours, and when the match ended Vine was still undefeated. Ilis 51, made in two hours and three quarters, was of the greatest possible value to his side.

S U R R E Y v. C AM B R ID G E U N IV E R S IT Y . Played at the Oval on June 29, 30, and July 1. Drawn. In this match Surrey gave a rest to Hayward and Lees. Surrey won the toss, and despite a great deal of rain in the night play began at the usual time. But after a maiden over had been bowled rain again fell, and there was no more play until ten minutes past three. On a wicket which was hard underneath and soft at the top Surrey had great difficulty in making runs, the fast bowling bumping consider­ ably. Davis played a very attractive game, and Nice, although he was lucky, was seen to advantage, while Knox hit boldly at the end of the innings. In a bad light Cambridge batted for half-an-hour, and at six o’clock play was abandoned for the day, Cambridge having made 19 for two wickets. On Friday there was no play on account of rain, but good progress was made with the match on Satur­ day. Jackson and Hayes met with so much success with the ball that at lunch time Cambridge had eight wickets down for 92, and the innings was brought to a conclusion soon afterwards. Keigwin batted with great steadiness and pluck for an hour and a-nalf; he was ninth out. With a lead of 48 Surrey made runs as quickly as possible, on the chance of being able to snatch a victory. Hobbs made some fine hits in his 36, and Hayes played a most attractive game. Lord Dalmeny declared the innings closed with four wickets down, leaving Cambridge with an hour and three-quarters to make 167. It was a sporting declaration, but Cambridge made no attempt whatever to make the runs, and Young kept up his wicket for an hour and a-quarter for 25. S urrey . First innings. Second innings.
