Cricket 1905

A ug . 10, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 333 SUSSEX r. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bristol on August 7, 8 and 9. Gloucestershire won by five wickets. R. A. Young was again absent from the Sussex team when this match began on Bank Holiday before a large crowd, and the county never seems able to rely nowadays on the services of O. B. Fry. Sussex won the toss, and although they lost their mainstay, Vine, for 13, he kept at the wicket until the total was over fifty, and thus gavehis side a good send off. His place as the steady player of the team was then taken by Relf, who kept up an end for three hours and a half, and scored 120 runs—his first hundred of the season. Goldie played a most attractive game and Cox made a very useful 41. In the course of his innings Cox drove a ball hard back to Huggins, who, in attempting to made the catch, broke a bone in his hand, an accident which must piace him hors de combat for the rest of the season. Gloucestershire fared badly against the bowling of Cox and Relf, and lost four wickets for 51 before stumps were drawn. C. O. H Sewell carried his bat for an excellent 21. On Tuesday Sewell played a splendid game, and although he could get no one to stay with him for long, he succeeded in making 114 runs, carrying his bat after being at the wickets for two hours and ahalf. In the second innings of Sus­ sex Jessop and Dennett met with so much successwith the ball that the total only came to 95, of which 43 were claimed by C. L. A. Smith. Gloucestershire thus had a much easier task than they could have anticipated, for although they were 57 runs behind on the first innings they only had to make 153 to win. They entered on their task with such deter­ mination that when stumps were drawn they had made 106 for three wickets Yesterday the remain­ ing runs wore knocked off in half an hour. S ussex .

HAMPSHIRE y. DERBYSHIRE. ( tw o SEPARATE HUNDREDS BY LLEWELLYN.) Played at Derby on August 7, 8 and 9. Abandoned. Although the team which represented Hampshire was very weak, it gave an excellent account of itself on Monday. This was largely due to a fine partner­ ship between E. M. Sprot and Llewellyn, who coming together when the total was 27 for two wickets, in­ creased the score by 127in an hour and-arhalf. Sprot played a capital innings of 71, but there was a great deal of luck about Llewellyn’s 102, three or four catches given by him being missed. Derbyshire had to bat for forty minutes before stumps were drawn, and lost Lawton and Morton for 37, L. G. Wright being not out 22. Wright made runs slowly on Tuesday morning, but his 53 was a fine innings. Other men who distinguished themselves were Ollivierre, E. M. Ashcroft, Cadman, and F. C. Hunter. Derbyshire had a small lead, and Hampshire began so badly in their second innings, that had it not been for determined play by Llewellyn, the total would have been very small. The first three wickets fell for 12 runs, and then Stone made a useful stand with Llewellyn, who, receiving little assistance from other men, had brought his score to 96 when stumps were drawn. Thus he was within 4 runs of accom­ plishing the feat of scoring two separate hundreds in the match. The Hampshire total was 160 for six wickets. Yesterday Llewellyn promptly made the 4 runs, and was then bowled, his entire innings having lasted for two hours. Derbyshire had to get 187 to win, and had made 151 of them for the loss of six wickets, when rain put an end to the game. Otherwise the finish might have been exciting. H ampshire . First innings.

YORKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Sheffield on August 7, 8 & 9. Yorkshire won by 44 runs. A very large crowd assembled to watch the first day’s play in this match, although the weather was most unpromising. A great deal of rain had fallen, but F. S. Jackson, on winning the toss for York­ shire, could hardly venture to put his opponents in first. As things turned out Yorkshire had much the worst of the game at the end of the day. Brearley met with astonishing success, and from the first no one played him or Cook with any confidence except Jackson, who shewed very sound cricket for fifty minutes for his 30. For once the Yorkshire tail did nothing at all, and their four bowlers only made 17 runs between them. The wicket rolled out well, and Maclaren and Spooner lost no time in making the best of their opportunities. By bright and attractive cricket they took the score to 90 in an hour and ten minutes, but Spooner was missed at mid-on off the very first ball in his innings. Maclaren’s innings of 51 was in every way worthy of his great reputation, and Spooner after his escape played a great game. Tyldesley made runs quickly, his 33 including seven 4’s. Towards the end of the day Jackson and Rhodes bowled with great effect, and despite their good beginning, Lancashire lost eight wickets for 163 before stumps were drawn. There was some heavy rain at Sheffield on Monday night, and the advantage gained by Lancashire seemed likely to be particularly useful. Their remaining two wickets added 14 runs, and Yorkshire thus had to wipe off a balance of 101 runs. When they lost Rothery and Tunnicliffe for 21 runs, a severe defeat seemed quite on the cards. Bnt Jackson was in his very best form, and he and Denton, who played with great pluck, began to pull the match out of the fire. Denton scored nearly twice as fast as his partner, and the total was taken to 143 before he was at last caught in the slips for a characteristic and most valuable innings of 96, of which 93were made during his partnership with Jackson in about an hour and three-quarters. He hit fifteen 4’s. Jackson’s fine, but steady innings came to a close soon afterwards ; it had lasted for rather more than an hour and three- quarters, and in conjunction with Denton’s innings changed the fortunes of the game. Afterwards Rhodes played a brilliant game, and when the innings came to an end Lancashire had to make 185 to win. They scored 50 before stumps were drawn, but lost Maclaren and Spooner, so that Yorkshire still had an outside chance of winning. More rain fell in the night, and Yorkshire’s chance seemed stronger. Tyldesley and Garnett were both out when the total was 71, but Poidevin and Sharp played so well that when the hundred went up Lancashire had six wickets in hand and only 85 runs to make. Then came the turning point of the innings, Sharp being bowled by Hirst at 103. Poidevin continued to play with great pluck and found an equally plucky partner in Cook. But at 129 Poidevin was stumped, and although Cook hit bodly and well, his fine effort came too late to save his side. Y orkshire . First innings. Second*innings.
