Cricket 1906

198 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 14, 1906. the last 39. Oates batted 65 minutes for his 47, and hit seven 4’s. In response to the total of 327, Essex made 6 without loss before stumps were drawn. On the Friday, Russell was sent back at 11, and Carpen­ ter, who batted very stolidly, at 30. Perrin then joined Douglas, and together they added 87 for the third wicket, the latter, who played a very patient game, c’aiming but 19 of that number. Douglas batted two hours for his 39. Perrin, who, as usual, drove finely, reached 50 out of 68 in 65 minutes and, altogether, scored 91 out of 136 in two hours. He hit eleven 4’s. Gillingham was in 80 minutes and, in partnership with Reeves, put on 42 for the eighth wicket in 20 minutes. Seven of the side failed to make as many as half-a-dozen, John Gunn following up his large score by taking seven wickets for 95. Nottinghamshire, possessing a lead of 100, opened their second innings with Jones and Iremonger in such fine fashion that it was not until 150 had been made in 95 minutes that the first wicket fell. This is the nineteenth stand of 100or more the two players have made for the first wicket of the county, they having thus equalled the performance accomplished by the late J. T. Brown and Tunnicliffe for Yorkshire. Jones, who might have been caught just before he was out, made 79 out of 150 in 95 minutes, and Ire­ monger 74 out of 162 in 110 minutes. The former hit ten 4’s and the latter eight. At the end of the day the home side, with seven wickets in hand, were 303 ahead. On Saturday John Gunn again scored well, and with Hardstaff added 116 for the fourth wicket in an hour and a quarter. Gunn hit nine 4’s and his partner five. When 301 had been made for the loss of seven wickets the innings was declared closed, Essex being left 270 minutes in which to obtain 405 to win. Gillingham arid Carpenter put up 74 together for the first jvicket in 50 minutes, the former, who made seven 4’s, claiming as many as 56 of that number. Perrin helped Carpenter add 39 for the second wicket, whilst McGahey remained in whilst 43 were put on for the third in 50 minutes. At 156 Carpenter, who hit thirteen 4’s, was dismissed for a faultless innings of 75, made in 150 minutes. McGahey was in 85 minutes for 27, whilst Douglas batted an hour and 50 minutes for 24, the two men playing asplendid game for their side. Their tactics, however, did not commend themselves to the crowd, who became so abusive that play was suspended for ton minutes, the umpires and players reclining on the ground until the disturbance had subsided. When the game was drawn Essex were 162 behind and had three wickets to fall. Score and analysis N otts . First innings. A. O.

SUSSEX v. HAMPSH IRE. Played at Chichester on June 7, 8 and 9. Drawn. After an absence of some weeks, caused by illness, Stone made a welcome and successful reappearance for Hampshire. The latter won the toss and went in first, but commenced badly, losing the valuable wicket of Greig at 16. Sprot and Mead, however, added 58 for the second wicket, the former being seen to great advantage. Hill made a useful score of 31, but, although eight of the side sueceeded in reaching double figures, the total realised only 237, made in 220 minutes. Sprot, who hit nine 4’s, and was very strong on the on-side, made 70 out of 144 in 130 minutes without a mistake. Off an over from Dwyer he scored 16. Against Langford and Badcock six Sussex wickets fell for 64 in an hour and a half, but in the remaining 35 minutes Cox and Leach added 56 without being separated. Still, when play ceased, the home side were 117 behind, with only four wickets in hand. On the following day some extraordinary cricket was seen, Cox playing his highest innings in an important match, and carry­ ing out his bat for 167, made out of 317 in 230 minutes. He hit twenty-four 4’s, reached 100 in 155 minutes, and, apart from a chance just after he had reached 40, made no mistake. Off-driving and cut­ ting were the features of his display. With Leach he added 147 for the seventh wicket in 95 minutes, and with Butt as many as 113 for the last in 75 minutes. I^each reached 50 in an hour, and, in all, was in 95 minutes for 79 obtained out of 147 made whilst in. He gave no chance, and hit eight 4’s. By scoring 336—in 250minutes—the home side possessed the unexpected lead of 99. Hampshire fared badly upon opening their second innings, losing Mead at 33 and Greig at 54. The latter scored 41 whilst only 13 other runs were made, and, during the 35 minutes he was in, hit seven 4’s. Half the side were out for 153, but Poore and Llewellyn then became associated, and remained togetherfor the rest of the day, putting on 147, Hampshire then being 151 ahead with five wickets in hand. On Saturday Major Poore reached his 100 in three hours, and it was not until he had scored 129 in 225 minutes that he was sent back. He gave no chance, and hit fifteen 4’s, and, considering that he was so lame as to need the services of a runner, his innings must be regarded as a remark­ able one, especially when one remembers the position his side was in when he went in. With Bowell he added 42 for the fourth wicket, and with Llewellyn 150 for the sixth in two hours. The last-named reached 50 in an hour and three-quarters, and batted 75 minutes for 67; he hit eight 4*s. When the total had reached 450 for eight wickets the innings was declared closed, Sussex being left 352 to win in 195 minutes. Two wickets fell for 39 and four for 77, and a defeat for the home side appeared by no means improbable. Killick and Smith, by careful cricket, added 54 for the fifth wicket in 50 minutes, but. with an hour still to go, the sixth fell at 137. Killick had been playing splendidly ever since he went in, his cutting being particularly fine, and when Leach joined him the play was, naturally, somewhat slow for a time. The last-named, however, after playing himself in, soon began to launch out, and, when time arrived, the pair were still unseparated, having added 114 for the seventh wicket in an hour. Killick carried out his bat for 100, made in two hours and five minutes. He gave only one chance—when 82—and hit ten 4’s. It wasa very meritorious display. At the close Sussex were 100 behind and had four wickets in hand. Score and analysis H am pshire . First innings. Second innings. Capt.J.G.Greig,c Butt,bCox 4 b Dwyer .......... Mead (C.

Played at Oxford on June 7 and 8. Free Foresters won by an innings and 89 runs. Some very interesting cricket was seen in this Trial Match at Oxford last week. Wynyard and Kortright each exceeded the hundred, the former without giving a chance, but the latter aided by some luck. In the first innings of the University Ourwen and Fyffe punished Cobbold for 39 runs in two overs. Score and analysis:— F ree F oresters . Capt. E. G. Wynyard, b Ourwen ..........105 R. E.
