Cricket 1906

134 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M at 1.7, 1906. county of his adoption. Set 129 to get to win, Lancashire lost Spooner at 11. Tyldesley then joined MacLaren, and together the two advanced the score to 64 when rain stopped play. When the game was resumed at 3.15 the wicket was easy, and no doubt was entertained that the home side would prove successful. MacLaren and Tyldesley almost knocked oft' the runs without being separated, adding 106 together in eighty minutes for the second wicket. Tyldesley played a very fortunate innings, but MacLaren, who batted 105 minutes and hit four 4’s and four 3’s, made no error until near the close. Lancashire won by eight wickets.

WORCESTERSHIRE v. NORTHAMP­ TONSHIRE. Played at Worcester on May 10, 11 and 12. A BRILLIANT VICTORY. Northamptonshire won by 41 runs. Worcestershire, for the first time since they played Yorkshire at Leeds in May, 1905, took the field with­ out a member of the Foster brotherhood in their ranks, the side being led by Brinton. Pearson, too, owing to an accident, was unable to assist the side. So easy was the wicket that heavy scoring was con­ fidently anticipated, but, apart from Bowley (85) and Cufio (41), no player succeeded in reaching forty. Bowley batted for an hour and three-quarters without a mistake, and hit thirteen 4’s and two 3’s. Thompson, who took eight wickets for 92, kept a fine length and gave trouble to everybody. In response to the home side’s total of 266, Northampton­ shire, by the time play ceased for the day, had lost eight wickets for 86, Arnold’s spin and iine length proving altogether too much for his opponents. On Friday, the two outstanding wickets realised but 15 runs, and Northants. were called upon to follow on. Arnold, it will be seen, obtained eight wickets for 46. A very different display was given by the visitors at their second attempt. The feature of the innings was Pool’s faultless 166, made in 180 minutes. He reached his hundred in two hours, and, included in his freely-hit innings, were twenty-five 4’s and six 3’s. With Thompson, who batted 100 minutes for 24, he added 140 for the fourth wicket. W. H. Kingston showed excellent defence in his very valuable 61, for which he batted 145 minutes, whilst Cox. who was at the wicket two hours and a quarter xor 72, played faultless and beautiful cricket, and hit nine 4’s and a 3. So well did the side play that, at the close of the day, they were 214 ahead, and had still three wickets to fall. The innings eventually closed for 418, and Worces­ tershire, set 254 to win, had by lunch time obtained 95 for two wickets. Bowley was dismissed at 17, after which misfortune Brinton and Cuffe added 56 for the second partnership. At 121 Burns was out leg-before-wicket, but Cuffe continued to play fine cricket, and reached 76 ere being caught. He gave a very praiseworthy display, but did not receive much support. His innings lasted two hours and a quarter, and contained six 4’s. At the end of the innings Bird made a great effort for his side, but Northamptonshire eventually won by 41runs, after following on 165 behind. Thompson’s admirable all-round cricket was worthy of all praise, although he delivered as many as fourteen no-balls during the match. “ It was a glorious victorie.” Score and analysis W orcestershire .

HAMPSHIRE y . YORKSHIRE. Played at Southampton on May 10, 11 and 12. Yorkshire won by seven wickets. Although by no means at full strength, Wynyard, Stone, Llewellyn and Captain Greig being absentees, Hampshire performed most creditably against their powerful opponents. Lord Hawke, owing to a braised hand, was unable to assist Yorkshire, his place being taken by Rudston and the captaincy devolving upon Tunnicliffe, who had a purely pro­ fessional side under his command. Hirst proved difficult to play when Hampshire went in. his swerve being much in evidence. The feature of the innings was the partnership of Philip Mead and Sprot which realised 120 for the third wicket in 85 minutes; the former hit eight fours and the latter seven. Whilst they were together, the Yorkshire fielding was not up to its usualstandard,each batsman being twice missed. Mead, who played such a great game for his side in this match, was for two seasons engaged at the Oval. He is left-handed and can drive well, and promises to develop into a very good all-round player. He was born at Battersea on March 9, 1887. In the 100 minutes remaining before stumps were drawn, the visitors scored 109 for two wickets, Rothery, who had done so well at TiOrd’s earlier in the week, assisting Denton to add 55 for the second wicket in 40 minutes. On Friday Yorkshire completed their innings for 421, made in 310 minutes. The Hampshire fielding was fre­ quently faulty, but the cricket was always bright. Tunnicliffe, who had been missed overnight with his score at six, drove with great power aud timed his strokes on the leg-side with capital judgment. He batted 140 minutes, scoring 98 out of 2U0obtained whilst in, and hitting fourteen 4’s—four off an over from Hopkins. With Hirst he added 73 for the fourth wicket in 40 minutes, and with Grimshaw 75 for the fifth in ten minutes under the hour. Hirst, in his 41, gave two chances, at 3 and 21, and, in one over from Mead, twice sent the ball over the pavilion, counting, as he merited,six for each stroke. Haigh hit well, included in his chanceless 75 not out being a 6 and ten 4’s. With Myers he added 80 for the eighth wicket in 50 minutes. Hampshire, 223 in arrears, commenced their second inning disas- terously, losing Bowell, Sprot and Hill for 24. Mead, however, gave another skilful display, making 34 not out in 75 minutes, but, when stumps were drawn, Hampshire, with five wickets in hand, still required 140 to avoid the innings defeat. On Saturday Langford proved a most useful partner to Mead, the two adding 131 together for the sixth wicket in 140 minutes. Mead played a very great game for his side, the feature of his faultless innings of 109 being his cutting. He was in for three hours and a half, hit eleven 4’s and six 3’s, and made his runs out of 233 obtained whilst in. Yorkshire were set 55 to win, and, as they lost three men in performing the task, their victory wasby the margin of seven wickets. Hampshire's display was one which gave much satisfaction to the county’s sup­ porters, the form shown by Mead being especially pleasing. Score and analysis:— H am pshire . First innings.
