Cricket 1906

J u n e 21, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 213 ESSEX v. W E S T IND IANS. Played at Leyton on June 14, 15 and 16. Essex won by 111 runs. For the first two days the West Indians gave a capital display, having, if anything, the best of the game, but on Saturday a long last-wicket stand by Mead and Buckenham and a disappointing batting display by the tourists combined to cause the latter to suffer defeat by 111 runs. On the opening day Douglas was out at 5, Carpenter at 10, and Perrin at 35, three good wickets then being down in half-an- hour from the start. McGahey and Reese then put on 44 for the fourth in 45 minutes, the New Zealander playing by far the best cricket of the side. Reeves helped him to add 29 for the fifth wicket, Freeman 31 for the sixth, and Kortright 70 for the seventh in 50 minutes. He reached 50 in an hour and 40 minutes, and, in all, scored 70 out of 178 in 140 minutes, hitting six 4’s. He gave a chance when 48, but, apart from that, made no mistake The innings closed for 226, in response to which the West Indians replied with 145 for three wickets, Layne being not out 50, which he had not made without considerable luck. On the second day Austin helped Layne to put on 151 for the fourth wicket in 125 minutes, before the last-named was caught for an extremely lucky innings of 106 made out of 221 in three hours. He hit sixteen 4’s, but was missed several times, the first when he had made 20, and later three times at the wicket and once by Reeves whilst bowling. Of a very different character was the batting of Austin, who made some very good off-drives, and obtained his 74 in two and a-half hours without a mistake. Harragin, as at the Palace, hit well, making 51 out of 74 in 40minutes and hitting eight 4’s. The innings closed for 379, or 153 ahead. It will be seen that Naylor, who was making his first appearance for the county, allowed as many as 40 byes. In their second innings Essex lost Carpenter at 34 and Douglas at 76, but, Perrin and McGahey then put on 136 together for the third wicket in 90 minutes with­ out being separated, the county being 59 runs on witheight wickets to fall when play ceased for the day. On Saturday morning Perrin, before a run had been made, was sent back for a faultless innings of 106 made out of 178 obtained whilst in in 135 minutes. He hit fifteen 4’s, the majority of them fine drives and pulls. McGahey batted three hours for his 82, but should have been caught when 41. He hit seven 4’s. The ninth wicket fell at 300, but, so well did Mead and Buckenham play, that 95 were put on in 50 minutes for the last ere Buckenham was bowled. Mead carried out his bat for a most useful 51, which included two 5’s and four 4’s. The task of obtaining 243 to win proved altogether too much for the visitors, who suffered defeat by 111runs. Smith, who showed fine all-round cricket, alone obtained as many as 20. Score and analysis:— E ssex . First innings. J.W.H. T.

Played at W orcester on June 14, 15 and 16’ Abandoned. Lancashire, who were without Findlay, MacLaren and Cuttell, were seen to great advantage on the opening day, scoring 456 in five hours and a-half. Spooner and Heap, who made 114 for the first wicket in 65 minutes, were both missed, the former when 4 and the latter when 5. The amateur, who hit nine 4’s, made 63 out of 114 in 65 minutes, whilst Heap, who was credited with a 6 and seven 4’s, scored 67 out of 174 in 115 minutes. Both men made some brilliant strokes, but the professional was often extremely risky. The third partnership realised 68 before Tyldeslev, who hit a dozen 4’s, was caught at the wicket for 84, made in 115 minutes. Sharp and Harry added 93 for the fifth wicket, and the latter and Hornby 85 for the sixth in 45 minutes. Harry, who hit eleven 4’s and played his highest innings for the county, was in an hour and three-quarters, but was lucky, inasmuch as he was twice missed ere he reached 20. The last five wickets added but 24 iii 25 minutes, play ending for the day when the last wicket fell. On the second day both H. K. Foster and Arnold were seen at their best. The first-named, who hit well to leg and made many good cuts, scored 77 out of 137 in 105 minutes, and helped Bowley to put up 93 for the first wicket. He hit nine 4’s. Arnold made 79 out of 162 in two hours and a-half, hitting six 4’s, and with Burns added 76 for the sixth wicket in 70 minutes. On Saturday no play was possible owing to rain,the match having to be abandoned. Score and analysis:— L ancashire . R. H.

Greig, who, going in first, made 65 out of 120 in 100 minutes without a mistake ere being finely stumped on the leg-side. He made 51 for the first wicket with Bowell in 40 minutes, and, with Sprot, added 64 for the second in 55 minutes. Mead and Llewellyn made useful scores, and, thanks to a partnership of 44 for the ninth wicket by Stone and Badcock, the total reached 261, made in 220 minutes. Ere play ceased for the day Kinneir and Devey made 126 without being separated, the first 70 of that number being obtained in 40 minutes. On the following morning the score was advanced to 201 ere Devey was out. The out-going batsman scored 92 in 165 minutes, hitting ten 4’s. He was notatall comfortable against Greig’s bowling, and was missed when 62, 73 and 88. Kinneir batted 195 minutes for 136, and Quaife 160 minutes for 116 not out. Neither gave a chance, the former hitting thirteen 4’s and the latter twelve. The last five wickets fell before Mead for 89, but, none the less, Warwickshire could claim an advantage of 232 on the first innings. During the long innings, it will be seen, Stone allowed only one bye. Hampshire, when they went in the second time, lost Greig at 9, but Bowell and Sprotsucceeded in remaining together without further loss attending the side until 5.30, when rain caused stumps to be drawn. On Saturday the match was abandoned, without any further play taking place, Hampshire, with nine wickets to fall, being still 168 runs behind. Score and analysis:— Capt.

Played at the Oval on June 14 and 15. Kent won by one wicket. On the opening day, so greatly did the ball triumph over the bat, twenty-one wickets fell for 320 runs, Surrey, when play ceased, being 80 behind with Hayward out in their second innings. The home side commenced badly and could never regain ground. Hayward was out at 12, Hobbs at 14 and Hayes at 18, and, had not Goatly and Baker added 30 for the fourth wicket in 20 minutes, and Spring and the latter 21 for the eighth (off three overs), the total would have been small indeed. As it was, it amounted to 73 only, made in 80 minutes. Fielder and Woolley bowled unchanged throughout; the former disposed of Baker, Strudwick and Knox in four balls. At one time it appeared as though the visitors would do little, if any, better than the home
