Cricket 1905

CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 20, 1905] LANCASHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Leyton on July 13, 14, and 15. Drawn. There was some remarkable cricket at Leyton on the first day of this match. At one time it seemed as if Essex, who were without Perrin and Fane, would be dismissed for less than two hundred runs, but a brilliant innings by Reeves completely altered the appearance of the game. At the begin­ ning of the match Carpenter and Douglas put up 52 for the first wicket, and Gillingham and McGahey both made useful scores, although they were a long time about them, McGahey taking an hour and three quarters to score 34. Tosetti and Freeman only made 5 between them ; but Keigwin, in his usual careful style, scored 24. Up to the time when Reeves went to the wickets the batting was not at all attractive, but Reeves at once began to hit out boldly. Doing nearly all the scoring, he found useful partners in Russell, Buckenham and Trem­ lin ; and in the last hour and three quarters 175runs were added to the total. Reeves was the last man out. He was only at the w'ickets for two hours for his splendid innings of 135, aud lie hit twenty-live 4’s. There was no time for Lancashire to go in to bat, but on Friday they for some time did even worse than Essex had done. Garnett was bowled by Buckenham at 5, Maclaren was bowled by Tremlin at 35, and at 36 Tyldesley was caught at the wicket. Hallows and Radcliffe made useful scores, but five wickets were down for 130. Sharp and Hornby then came to the rescue of their side, and put on 95 runs while they were together. They both played fine cricket, Sharp making his 80 in two hours and ten minutes and Hornby his 111 not out in about the same time. In the end Essex had a lead of 49, and as they scored 140 for the loss of two wickets they were in a good position when the game was resumed on Saturday. Carpenter, for the second time in the match, was in great form, and Gillingham, who was not out 38, played a much more attractive game than on the previous day. He only increased his score by 2 runs on Saturday, but McGahey, discarding his methods of the first innings, scored 75 in an hour and a quarter by delightful cricket, while Tosetti, Keigwin and Reeves all made such useful scores that with eight wickets down the innings was closed. Lancashire had to make 395 in four hours, a very difllcult but not impossible task with such men as Maclaren, Garnett, Tyldesley, Sharp, and Hornby in the team. Garnett was out with the total at 2, but Tyldesley and Maclaren then put on 135 in an hour and three quarters, and possibly if their partnership had lasted much longer Lancashire would have won, but after Maclaren was dismissed for a splendid innings of 63, there was no chance that the runs would be made. Tyldesley played a great game, and scored his 108 in two hours and twenty minutes, his hits including a 6, a 5, and twelve 4’s Spooner and Poidevin were absent from the Lancashire team. The Essex team was captained by McGahey. E ssex . First innings. Carpenter, c Brearley, S harp........................ J. W. II. T.

SURREY v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at the Oval on July 13, 14, and 15. ►Surrey won by 313 runs. In this match Surrey showed an overwhelming superiority all through the game. Worcestershire had to take the field without H. K. Foster, and were thus greatly handicapped, but he would have had to score very largely to have enabled his side to make a good fight. On the first day Surrey made their position pretty secure by scoring 362, and then dismissing four of their opponents for 63. For this S osition they had chiefly to thank Hayes, Raphael, 'avis, and Lord Dalmeny, who all made over fifty, and Knox, who took three of the four Worcestershire wickets which fell. The Surrey batting was attrac­ tive from first to last. Hayes made his 63 in fifty minutes, putting on 65 in a little over half-an-hour in partnership with Baker, who only claimed five of them. Raphael was extremely cautious when he began his innings, and at lunch time he had been at the wickets for half-an-hour for two runs. But afterwards he hit freely, making six 4’s in the first three overs bowled by Arnold. In half-an-hour he and Davis put on 60 runs, the entire partnership producing 110 runs in an hour. Both he and Davis played brilliant cricket after lunch. Another fine innings was the 68 of Lord Dalmeny, who, chieflly by means of hard drives, scored his runs in three- quarters of an hour. On Friday Knox was in great form with the ball—he seems to be improving in every match- and although he was hit about by Wheldon, he had the excellent analysis of 7 for 64. The only long stand during the innings was that of Arnold and Wheldon, who put up 99 for the seventh wicket in an hour and three-quarters. Wheldon played a fine game, his hits including a 5 and eight 4’s. Lees bowled with great steadiness, only 35 runs being hit from his 24 overs, ten of which were maidens. Surrey had a lead of 183, but decided to bat again themselves. Before stumps were drawn they made 289 for nine wickets, and were thus 472 runs on. In this innings Hayward played a masterly game for two hours, his partnership with Hayes producing 95 in a little over an hour. Hayes was again in brilliant form, and he and Raphael made 41 in a quarter-of-an-hour. The innings was closed when the game was resumed on Saturday. Worcestershire began very badly indeed, losing four wickets in about half-an-hour for 26 runs, and, although Arnold and G. N. Foster made a useful stand, Worcestershire were always out of the running. Foster played a great game for his side, but could get nobody to stay with him after Arnold left, and in the end he earned his bat for 59 the result of eighty minutes’ batting. Knox and Lees both met with great success with the ball, the former having a record for the match of eleven wickets for 98 runs. The game ended in an easy victory for Surrey at twenty-five minutes past one. S urrey . First innings.
