Cricket 1906

214 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 2 l, 1906. side, for Humphreys was out at 11, Seymour at 23, Day at 24, and Dillon (who made an off-drive off Knox for 6) at 50,made in as many minutes. Hearne, too, was sent back at 58, and Marsham three runs later, but the association of Woolley and Hubble proved the turning-point of the game, seeing that together they added 72 for the seventh wicket in 40 minutes. Woolley reached 50 out of 69 in 45 minutes, and, in all, scored 72 out of 101 in an hour and five minutes. He hit a dozen 4’s, and hit to leg and drove capitally. It was largely owing to him that the last four wickets added 139. At the end of th<? day Surrey had made 47 for theloss of Hayward’s wicket. On Friday the home side played up most pluckily.but, although they had the best of the day’s play, they had to admit defeat after a tremendous finish by the narrow margin of a wicket. Hobbs and Hayes put on 73 for the second wicket in an hour, the latter and Goatly 55 for the fourth in 40 minutes, and Spring and Goatly 60 for the eighth in half-an-hour. Hobbs, who showed strong defence, made 40 out of 110 in 105 minutes, ana Hayes, who drove well and hit two 5’s and ten 4’s, 81 out of 136 in similar time. Crawford, Dalmeny and Lees had all been dismissed at 176 by Woolley, who will certainly have good cause to remember his first great match at Kennington. Goatly played an excellent game, and batted 100 minutes for 51, being last man out. It will be seen that, in an innings of 254, there were as many as 23 extras. Left with only 128 to get to win, Dillon and Seymour added 54 for the second wicket after Humphreys had been bowled with only six on the board. Although the second wicket fell at 60, there were five down for 66, Surrey then,for the first time during the match, having the best of the game. Hubble and Marsham added 28 for the sixth wicket, and five runs later—at 99—both Hubble and Huish left without any addition to the score. Woolley was badly missed in the slips by Crawford, and there can be no doubt that the occurrence cost Surrey the match. When Fielder, the last man, went in, 19 runs were still required, and these were successfully obtained. It was a splendid match in which the losers deserved quite as much praise as the winners. Lees, although he failed to score a run, bowled in his best form, but it was clearly Woolley’s match. Score and analysis:— S u rrey . First innings. Second innings.

NOTTINGHAMSH IRE v. N O R TH ­ AMPTONSH IRE. Played at Nottingham on June 14,15 and 16. Drawn. The feature of Thursday’s play in this match was the stylish batting of Pool, who was in his very best form. Of the first 74 runs obtained by Northampton, in an hour, he claimed as many as 51. At that point he was unfortunate to strain himself so severely that he had to be assisted off the field. He returned later but was unable to play his usual game, being clean bowled by Hallam when he had added a couple. A. R. Thompson hit well, but the majority of the side were unable to do much against John Gunn, with the result that the innings realised no more than 217. Oates caught, four at the wicket and stumped one. Ere play ended for the day, Iremonger and Day, not unaided by luck, scored 87 together without being separated in 70 minutes. On Friday the total was advanced to 99 before the first wicket (Day’s) fell. Iremonger remained in long enough to score 83, an innings which contained only four 4’s. Hardstaff, G. Gunn and Jones all made useful scores, but the feature of the day’s play was the partnership of Payton and Taylor, which realised 95 for the eighth wicket in 80 minutes. Each player was missed once, Payton, who cut well, being let off at point when 49. When stumps were drawn the pair were still together, with the score 427 for eight wickets. On Saturday, owing to rain, no play was possible before half-past four. In the circumstances it was only natural that the innings of the home side should be at once declared closed, a proceeding which left Northamptonshire a couple of hours in which to obtain 210 to save the innings’ defeat. Pool and Cox were out for 17, but Crosse and A. R. Thompson, by putting on 31 for the third wicket in 50 minutes put a defeat for their side out of the question.

Played at Lord’ s on June 14, 16 and 16. Yorkshire won by 281 runs. Owing in a large measure to faulty fielding on the part of the home team, Yorkshire were enabled to place themselves safe from defeat before play ended on the opening day. The visitors commenced badly, losing Rhodes at 10 and Rothery at 12, but the turning point was readied when Tunnicliffe and Denton came together. Their partnership for the third wicket realised 75 in 40 minutes, Tunnicliffe, who scored 30 of the number, then running himself out in a most foolish manner. Denton played very pretty cricket, his strokes on the off-side being par­ ticularly noticeable, but when he had made 65 he was missed by Tarrant, who failed to take a high, fast catch. Hirst, who hit eight 4’s in his 41, made his runs out of the 59 added for the fourth wicket in 35 minutes, but the best partnership of the innings was that of Denton and Wilkinson, which increased the score by 131 for the fifth wicket in 95 minutes. Wilkinson, who hit ten 4’s in his 53, was missed when he had made 9, and again when 39. His inn­ ings was a very useful one. Denton, who was again missed when he had made 99, reached his 100 in 145 minutes, and, in all, made 127 out of 290 in three hours and three-quarters. He hit eighteen 4’s. The last five wickets fell for 42 in 40 minutes, the innings closing for 329, of which 20 were byes. Before stumps were drawn for the day Middlesex scored 45 without loss in 10 minutes under the hour. On the following morning Warner, at 60, was sent back for 28, made in 70 minutes, but Tarrant and G. W. Beldam (who was missed before he scored) succeeded in adding 59 for the second wicket in an hour and 10 minutes before the former was disposed of. The departure of Tarrant marked the commencement of a collapse before Haigh, which was so pronounced that by lunch time seven wickets were down for 152. After the interval the innings was soon finished off for 161, Haigh, who bowled splendidly, taking seven wickets for 46. With the very useful lead of 168 Yorkshire decided to bat again in preference to making the home side follow on. Rhodes and Rothery put up 49 for the first Wicket in 40 minutes, whilst the former and Denton added 105 for the second in an hour. Rhodes played a very sound innings, and hit half-a-dozen 4’s. He made his 76 out of 179 in two hours. At the end of the day Yorkshire had made 255 for five wickets, which gave them a load of 423 with five wickets in hand. On Saturday morning there was an hour’s heavy rain, followed by bright sunshine. Lord Hawke at once declared the visitors’ innings closed, leaving Middle­ sex the whole of the day in which to obtain the runs or to get out. Owing to rain the heavy task could not be entered upon until half-past one. By lunch time Warner and Tarrant had scored 9 off thirteen overs without being separated, the first half-dozen taking 20 minutes to make. At the end of an hour, and with the total 29, Warner was bowled by Haigh whilst attempting to drive. Some of the home side played the stone-wall game to perfection, Tarrant batting an hour and a-half for 26, and G. W. Beldam 70 minutes for 11. Their efforts, however, were not very well seconded, the last seven wickets falling in an hour and ten minutes, and Yorkshire winning easily by 281 runs with 50 minutes to spare. Haigh again bowled veiy well indeed, and made his record for the match twelve for 105, but Middlesex were unfortunate in having to baton a soft wicket on the last day.
