Cricket 1906

188 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 7, 1906. for the third in a similar period. Beldam, who hit eleven 4’s, made 93 out of 238 in 160 minutes, whilst Bosanquet, who forced the game well and gave no chance, hit fifteen 4’s whilst scoring 87 out of 162 in an hour and 20 minutes. During the partnership of the two named the scoring was at times very brisk, 50 at one period being added in 19 minutes, 60 in 22, 83 in lialf-an-hour, and 102 in 42 minutes. The fourth wicket fell at 238, but so greatly did the fielding side then obtain the upper hand that the remaining six fell for but 77. Somerset lost Lewis at 3, but Braund and Johnson added 76 together for the second wicket, and, when play ceased, the visitors, with eight wickets in hand, were 225 behind. During the afternoon a little excitement was caused by a small lire breaking out on the grand stand. It was not serious, however, and had been got under by the time two fire engines arrived upon the scene. At 103 Braund was disposed of fur a painstaking 33, whilst at 106 Phillips also was sent back, and Robson two runs later. Woods then came in and hit 56 of the 95 put on with Poyntz for the sixth wicket in 55 minutes. He hit six 4’s. Poyntz played a lucky, but useful, innings of 43, and with Martyn, who hit seven 4’s in his 40, added 38 for the seventh wiejtet. The innings closed for 268, or 47 behind. Warner, who was missed when 8, helped Tarrant to put up 10 for the first wicket in 35 minutes, whilst the latter and G. W. Beldam subsequently added 68 together for the second wicket in an hour. Bosanquet played another delightful innings, scoring 101 in lt'5 minutes, and reaching 50 in «tn Jiour and a quarter. "He was missed when 66, anfl hit sixteen 4’s. With E. A. Beldam he added 146 for the fourth wicket. This last-named, in his* 79, hit a 5 and ten 4’a. During the day 505 runs were made for thirteen wickets. Yesterday the later Middlesex batsmen hit freely and somewhat recklessly, with the result that the* remaining five wickets fell in 45 minutes for 55, Somerset being left five hours in which to obtain 430 in order to win. That the visitors would neither make the runs nor succeed in playing out* time soon became apparent, for against Mignon the batsmen seemed quite unable to make aDy stand whatever. Braund left at 4, Hardy at 16, Phillips at 21, and Johnson at 28. Woods and AJartyn then came together and played freely, putting on 40 for the fifth wicket in 25 minutes. With but a couple added, Martyn, Poyntz and Lewis were all sent back, eighty wickets then being down for 80. After lunch Robson made a few good hits, but the result was never in doubt, Middlesex win­ ning with the greatest of ease by 320 ruus. Mignon bowled finely on the somewhat worn wicket, and took seven wickflfs for 58. Score and analysis M iddlesex . First innings. P. F.

For the first time this season Major Poore and Prichard appeared for Hants, who were at full strength. The home side quickly lost Johnston, but Greig and Sprot added 53 for the second wicket in forty minutes. Greig, who reached 50 in eighty-five minutes and cut magnificently, hit eight 4’s, and scored 81 out of 158 in one hundred and thirty minutes. Hill gave a delightful display and made some tremendous drives: he batted J50 minutes for his chanceless 110, hit ten 4’s and, in partnership with Poore, put on 126 for the fifth wicket in eighty- five minutes. The innings eventually closed for 346, Bestwick taking seven of the wickets for 102. Derbyshire, in response, scored 21 without loss, Johnston, who kept wicket, missing Wright when he had made 3. On the following day the visitors fared badly, Wright, Cadman, and Ollivierre all being out at 32, whilst five wickets were down for 94. Buckston and Humphries each scored 53, the latter obtaining the half-century in an important match for the first time in his life. Buckston was lucky, and, when he had made two, was caught by Mead at slip but given not out by the umpire, as his view was impeded. The innings closed for 245, or 101 in arrears. Greig and Johnston, when Hamp­ shire went in again, made 131 for the first wicket in 80 minutes, the former hitting nine 4’s and the latter, who batted an hour and three-quarteps, a 6 and ten 4’s. Greig was twice missed, but his vs a vis made no mistake. Hill, in his 28, made a hit for 8, four being for an overthrow. Derbyshire were severely handicap ?ed in losing the services of Bestwick, who was obliged to retire after bowling three overs owing to an injury. When play ended for the day the home side led by 354 runs and had one wicket in hand. Yesterday the Hampshire innings was quickly completed, and Derbyshire, set 356 to win, received a severe blow when Wright was sent back at 4 without having scored. Ollivierre and Buck­ ston added 40 for the second wicket, the latter playing another very useful innings. Buckston, altogether, hatted 110 minutes for his 96, hitting thirteen 4’s and crediting himself with the highest innings he has yet made for his county Hampshire eventually won by 147 runs—a very welcome victory.

KENT. Played at Brighton on June 4 and 5. Kent won by an innings and 117 runs. On a wicket by no means against run-getting, Sussex gave a very disappointing display, being dis­ posed of in one hundred and sixty minutes for 124. Vine and Killick were out at 15, and the elder Relf, who batted an hour for 19, at 39, and, although R. R. Relf and John Seymour added 26 for the fourth wicket in half-an-hour, and Smith and Leach 29 for the sixth in a similar period, theside never recovered from the early disasters. Fielder took six wickets for 48. Humphreys and Dillon played so success­ fully when Kent went in that together they put up 139 for the first wicket in ninety-five minutes. The first-named, who hit nineteen 4’s, made 109 in one hundred and thirty minutes out of 200 without a mistake of any kind. The good work was continued by James Seymour and Burnup, who put on 75 for the third wicket in fifty minutes. At the end of the day Kent were 170ahead with seven wickets in hand. On Tuesday Burnup was soon out, and, although Mason and Blaker made useful scores, the innings closed for 410. It will be seen that R. R. Relf made 4 catches and his brother 3. Sussex, 290 behind, lost R. R. Relf througli a splendid catch at point by Blythe with only seven runs scored. Five wickets went down for 53, soon after which Blythe was obliged to abandon playing owing to splitting his hand in an endeavour to hold a hot return from the elder Relf. The home side never appeared likely to escape the innings defeat, and it came as no surprise when the last wicket went down at 173. Fielder’s record for the match was 11 wickets for 89. Kent won very easily by an innings and 117 runs. Owing to his accident, Blythe will not be able to play to-day at Manchester. Score and analysis S ussex . First innings. Second innings.
