Cricket 1905

318 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 3, 1905. YORKSHIRE v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bradford on July 31, Aug. 1 and 2. Yorkshire won. by an innings and 118 runs. On the first day of this matcli Gloucestershire scored 215, and dismissed two Yorkshiremen for 163, so that when stumps were drawn they had much the worst of the game. The only noticeable point about their innings was the batting of Board and Jessop. The two men were in partnership for eighteen minutes only, but in that time they scored 55 runs. Board’s fine innings of 7(5 lasted for an hour and a-half, while Jessop, by characteristic cricket, made 60 in fifty minutes, his first fifty having only taken him half-an-hour. For Yorkshire Rothery and Denton both played a great game, the latter being not out 58 when stumps were drawn. The play at Bradford on Tuesday was interrupted three times by rain, which handicapped the bowlers, and Yorkshire scored very quickly. Denton made 172, his highest score in first-class cricket, after batting for three hours and ten minutes and hitting twenty-nine 4’s. The three bowlers,Hirst, Rhodes and Haigh, made 164 between them, and with the total at 504 I<ord Hawke declared. Gloucestershire, with a balance against them of 259, lost five wickets for 66 before stumps were drawn, Jessop reserving himself until the next day. Yesterday Barnett carried his bat, having gone through the innings, which lasted for two hours and a-half. Jessop failed, and Yorkshire had the easiest of victories. G LOUCESTERSHIRE. First innings.

Played at the Oval on July 31 and August 1. »<urrey won by 10 wickets. A more remarkable match than this has hardly been seen this season. When Middlesex won the toss the Spectators settled themselves down in the expectation of seeing a long innings, for there had been no rain for some time and there was every reason to suppose that the wicket would be greatly in favour of the batsmen. Even when the bowling of Knox began to jump about no one anticipated much trouble for the batsmen, more especially as Warner and E. A. Beldam made runs at a fair rate without any apparent difficulty, except that they occasionally drew away quickly from a rising ball. Everything went well for Middlesex, and lookers on began to wonder why the bowling was not changed, for 60went up without any apparent sign of danger for Middlesex. But at this total Knox bowled Beldam for an admirable innings of 43, and from this moment until Surrey went in a second time the ball beat the bat. G. W. Beldam soon fell to Lees at 69. At 70 Lees also claimed Page’s wicket, and in a few minutes half the wickets were down for 78, two of them falling to Smith. Littlejohn and Trott then made a stand, and at lunch time the score had been taken to 95 without further loss. After lunch wickets again fell rapidly and in the end the total was only 146. Lees bowled all through the innings and, although he took three wickets, he had some bad luck. Knox and Smith both bowled exceedingly well. It was naturally thought that Surrey had an easy task in hand, but the commencement of their innings was disastrous. Mignon made the ball kick, and met with remarkable success. Hobbs looked like staying, but despite his 'efforts half the wickets were down for 42. At 62 seven men were out, and then at last a stand was made by Lees and Smith, which produced 27 runs. The innings seemed practically over when Knox went in, but he hit with great boldness and made 21, the highest score of his side. Bird, the Middlesex wicket-keeper, was respon­ sible for the dismissal of five men during the innings, which ended for 116. Thus Middlesex had a lead of 30. This they increased by four byes before play ended for the day, Bird and Hearne being sent to the wickets and playing out time. On Tuesday the two not outs were promptly dismissed by Knox, but Warner and G. W. Beldam then made a determined stand, which produced 39runs. Warner was then out for 34, another admirable innings. Most of the remaining batsmen fell ready victims to Knox, who was bowling in great form, but Trott went in for hitting with some success, while Little­ john and Payne both made double figures. The innings came to an end for 137—nine runs less than the first innings, Knox having taken 8 wickets for 48 runs. Surrey were then left to make 168, and they began their innings just after lunch. Naturally, after what had happened during the three innings which had already been played, it was generally felt that the task would be too hard, or at least would be exceedingly difficult. But to the general surprise Hayward and Hobbs, who went in first, knocked off the runs without being separated. From the first the two Surrey men made headway, scoring at the rate of 80 runs an hour, and keeping up this rate until the match was won. Hobbs gave two possible chances, but Hayward played a perfect game. In vain did Warner make rapid changes in his bowling, the batsmen were always masters of the situation, and so firmly had they established themselves after the first hour’s play, that they made the last 90 runs off sixteen overs. Hayward hit twelve 4’s in his 82, and Hobbs eleven in his 75. M iddlesex . First innings. P. F. Warner, b Knox ... 22 E. A.
