Cricket 1905

380 CRIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug 31, 1905. SURREY y. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. Played at the Oval on August 28, 29 and 30. Surrey won by an innings and 124 runs. A REMARKABLE MATCH. It was only possible on Monday to play at the Oval for an hour and a-quarter, and at twenty minutes past one the game ended for the day. But during the time available for cricket Surrey made the best use of their opportunities, scoring 102 runs for the loss of Holland’s wicket. Holland was in brilliant form, and made 63 out of 88 for the first wicket in an hour, his fine innings including ten 4’s. Hayward,who had been playing careful cricket, was then joined by Hayes, and when play was given up was not out 26, while his partner was not out 10 . Northamptonshire were without Earle, O. J. Pool and Hawkins, but Surrey were able to put their strongest team in the field. It was impossible to play cricket at the Oval, on Tuesday, owing to rain. Yesterday play was resumed at the usual time. Runs were always difficult to make, but Hayward increased his total by 18. Lord Dalmeny quickly scored a useful 13, and afterwards Lees and Smith hit boldly, with the result that Northamptonshire had to face a total of 211. Then some sensational cricket was seen. Four wickets fell for 6 runs, and 48 runs were still required to save the follow-on. But hardly any of the Northamptonshire men dared to play a bold game, and wicket after wicket fell to Orawford, who was bowling at the top of his form. Nine runs were required to save the follow-on when the last man went in, but theywere not forthcoming, and Northamptonshire were doomed. Their second innings began at four o’clock, and again the Surrey bowlers were almost irresistible. The first four wickets fell for 12 runs, and it soon became evident that unless play had to be stopped on account of the light, which was getting very bad, or unless some­ one hit boldly and with success, Surrey would have time to win. But Smith was in even finer form with the ball than Orawford had been in the first innings, and Northamptonshire were out for 32, the lowest score made at the Oval for a long time. Except for two overs Crawford and Smith bowled throughout both innings, the former taking eleven wickets for 44 and the latter nine for 39. S u r r e y .

Bosanquet were all absent, and a place was found for G. G. Napier, the Cambridge Blue. On a very slowwicket Middlesex made 109 ior 3 wickets before lunch, and then rain set in so heavily that there was no more play for the day. Douglas, who does not seem able to get into his stride this year, played a cautious game, and at one period of his innings he was nearly half-an-hour without making a run. He carried his bat for 34. The best innings of the day was that of O. Palmer, who made 44 by very attractive cricket. There was no play at Lord’s on Tuesday owing to rain. Yesterday the game was resumed at ten minutes to one, and Middlesex declared after Doug­ las and Hearne had increased the overnight scoreby 95, without being separated. Kent then made 163 for five wickets, and just before five o’clock stumps were drawn. M id d le sex . E. A. Beldam, c Sey­ mour, b Humphreys 21 Tarrant, c Mason, b Blythe ............... 0 J.

After their astonishing experience on a very fast wicket at Leyton the Yorkshiremen found at Brighton one of the slow pitches to which they have been accustomed of late. Before luncheon on Mon­ day there were two interruptions of the game owing to rain, but in the afternoon the weather cleared up, and play was continued until the usual time. At lunch time the Yorkshire score was 54 for one wicket, but in the afternoon things went badly for some time with the team, five wickets being down for 89 and seven for 128. But Lord Hawke then joined Rhodes and gave him great assistance, the pair adding 43 runs. Meanwhile Rhodes had been playing a-Twonderfully good game, and in the end he carried his bat for 79. During the Yorkshire innings Killick took his hundredth wicket, having previously scored a thousand runs. Sussex had to bat for a little over half-an-hour, and with the total at 44 Vine was lbw in the last over of the day. More rain fell in the night, but a little before half-past twelve Sussex resumed their innings. Young and Killick were soon dismissed, and three wickets were down for 52. But Fry continued to make runs, with Relf as a "partner, and the total was taken to 82 when rain caused an adjourn­ ment until after lunch. Fry kept up his wicket until the last man was in with him, ana then he was bowled by a good ball from Rhodes. His innings was one of the best which he has played this season, for his runs were made on a wicket which exactly suitedHirst and Rhodes, the two bowlers who under such circumstances are admittedly more dangerous than any others of the present day. The last five wickets fell for 22runs in half-an-hour. Yorkshire, who had a very useful lead of 66 , hadmade 36 for the loss of Rothery’s wicket when bad light and rain caused play tobe abandoned for the day. Yorkshire were thus 102 runs on with ninewickets in hand, and seemed tohave a good chance of winning the match. Yesterday Tunnicliffe and Rhodes were in great form, and Yorkshire declared at 154 for five wickets, leaving Sussex to make 221 in two hours and a half if they could. But it was not a wicket on which to get runs very quickly, and naturally no attempt was made by Sussex to try for a victory. But Fry and Vine had another long partnership, and placed their side out of danger. Y orkshire . First innings.

In the course of a short day’s cricket, Leicester­ shire made 192 for the loss of two men on Monday, their opponents being considerably handicapped by a wet ball. O. J. B. Wood made 74 by good cricket in two hours and forty minutes, and when stumps were drawn, Knight was not out 65. Owing to frequent showers it was not possible to resume the game until half-past three on Tuesday, and when two overs had been bowled for nine runs there was no more play for the day. Yesterday’s play was chiefly remarkable for the fine batting of Maclaren and Spooner, who disposed of any hopes which Leicestershire may have had of snatching a victory. L e ic estersh ire .
