Cricket 1906

J u n e 21, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 221 minutes, the side was unable to escape the innings defeat. Mead hit well all round the wicket, and, apart from a chance when 78, made no mistake. He hit eleven 4’s. Bacon assisted him to add 63 for the sixth wicket, and Langford 53 for the fifth. Woolley again performed well, and altogether had a very great deal to do with the success of his side. Score and analysis:— H am pshire . Firbt innings. Second innings. Oapt.

Together they added 136 for the eighth wicket in seventy minutes, 62 at one period being put on in half-an-houF. Each player had the satisfaction of making his highest score in a first-class match. Gloucestershire fared badly in their second innings, only E. Barnett, who scored 50 in seventy minutes, and was missed when 7, playing the bowling with any confidence. Surrey won by an innings and 22 runs. Orawford, it will be seen, obtained eleven wickets in the match for 148 runs in addition to making his record score.

Played at Bristol on June 18 and 19. Surrey won by an innings and 22 runs. Upon winning the toss Dalmeny decided to put Gloucestershire in, and, when stumps were drawn for the day, his policy, thanks in a very great measure to Hayward and Orawford, appeared to have been sound, inasmuch as Surrey, with seven wickets in hand, were only 115 behind. For the home side Toogood, a Clifton professional, reappeared after an absence of six seasons. Wrathall and E. Barnett made a capital start, scoring 76 together for the first wicket in an hour. Wrathall, who hit nine 4’s, made his 75 out of 157 in one hundred and thirty minutes without a mistake. After lunch Lees was obliged to retire from the game, owing to a chill, the Surrey attack being considerably weakened in con­ sequence. Jessop made 40 in three-quarters of an hour, but was let off when 7 by Dalmeny. With Wrathall he put cn 52 for the fourth wicket in twenty-five minutes, at one period scoring 26 whilst his partner obtained but 2. At the end of the innings O. Barnett and Dennett played a useful game, putting on 52 together for the ninth wicket in forty-five minutes. The innings closed for 242, made in two hundred and twenty minutes - a very creditable total as the wicket was. Crawford bowled very well indeed, his seven wickets costing a frac­ tion over 12 runs each. During the hour and a quarter remaining before play ceased for the day, Surrey scored 127 (including 2 extras) for three wickets, of which number Hayward made as many as 100 without the slightest mistake. Ho reached 50 out of 60 in fifty-five minutes, and gave a display which was altogether remarkable. On the following: morning he was sent back without having increasec. his overnight score. He hit fifteen 4’s. The feature of the day’s cricket was a large innings by Oraw­ ford who reached 50 in sixty-five minutes, 100 in one hundred and fifteen, and, in all, scored 148 in one hundred and sixty minutes. He played a very bright game, but was missed when 40 and again when 102. He hit twenty 4’s.

Played at Bradford on June 18 and 19. Yorkshire won by nine wickets. On a wicket decidedly soft after heavy rain* Yorkshire made a capital start by scoring 105 in ninety-five minutes before the first wicket fell. Rhodes, who drove well, and made four 4’s, but was missed in the slips when 33, made 53 of the number, but Rothery made no mistake and stayed until he had obtained 61 out of 149 in one hundred and thirty minutes. The last-named hit seven 4’s in his faultless display, making many fine jpulls. Tunnicliffe and Hirst performed exceedingly well, as the pitch was, in adding 60 for the fourth wicket in 40 minutes, the last-named, who played on when he had made 33, making a fine on-drive off Reeves out of the ground. Every man on the side reached double figures except Hunter, who carried out his bat, the result being that the total reached 315, which was certainly a very good score in the circumstances. When the last wicket fell play ceased for the day. Mead bowled admirably, but with shocking luck, missing the wicket several times by a hair’s breadth, and having more than one chance missed off him. On Tuesday Hirst, Haigh and Rhodes proved altogether too much for the Essex batsmen. Douglas was bowled by the first ball of the day and Perrin by the third, whilst Fane was out at 2. Disasters happened so quickly that eight wickets fell for 26, but the ninth put on 22, and the tenth 69 in 35 minutes. Buckenham and Mead played a very plucky game, and more than doubled the total. Essex, 198 behind, again lost Douglas ere a run had been made. Carpenter, however, played bright cricket, scoring 35 out of 46 in twenty-two minutes by means of eight 4’s and three singles ere being second out. The sixth wicket fell at 99, and, when it appeared probable that the innings would quickly be finished off, Reeves came in and played a great game for his side. He scored 74 out of 102 in an hour, hitting thirteen 4’s, and, in partnership with McGahey, Second inningsR othery, c Douglas, b Bucken­ ham, 0; Myers, not out, 0; Hunter, not out, 6; leg- bye, 1.—Total (one wicket) 7.

Lancashire won by ten wickets. Everything on the opening day of this match was dwarfed by the splendid batting of Spooner, who hit in superb fashion all round the wicket. He reached 52 out of- 94 in sixty-five minutes, 102 out of 189 in one hundred and fifteen, 152 out of 254 in one hundred and sixty-five, 200 out of 353 in two hundred and thirty, and, in all, 240 out of 411 in two hundred and sixty. When he had made 3 he was missed at point, and when 140 was let off at the wicket, whilst at 165 he ought to have been easily run out. He hit a 6, thirty-two 4’s, eight 3’s, and twenty-two 2’s, and made 102 prior to lunch. With Heap he made 45 for the first wicket in thirty-five minutes, with Tyldesley 166 for the second in one hundred, with Poidevin 132 for the third in eighty, and with Sharp 68 for the fourth in foriy. Tyldesley cut and pulled well, and hit eight 4’s in his 68, whilst Harry made 19 (including two 6’s) off an over from Bailey. When play ceased Lancashire had made 477 for eight wickets in two hundred and ninety- five minutes. On the following morning the innings was concluded for 479, the outstanding two wickets falling in five minutes. Somerset lost Johnson in Dean’s first over, but Martyn and Lewis played confident cricket, and put on 75 together for the second wicket. Off an over from Brearley, which included a no-kall, Lewis made 20 by means of a 6, three 4’s and a 2. Lewis hit a 6 and seven 4’s in his 41, made in 45 minutes. Phillips afterwards played a good game, making 78 in one hundred and forty minutes without a mistake, whilst Poyntz batted an hour for 41. At the close of the innings Bailey and Maxwell put on 40 together in thirty-five minutes, the total eventually reaching 291. With a lead of 188, Somerset were made to follow on, and, ere play ceased, had reduced their arrears to 112 and had still nine wickets to fall. Yesterday only 7 were added before Woods was sent back, whilst at 23 Phillips, who had done so well in the first innings, was run out. At 151 Martyn was bowled by Kermode for 64, which contained seven 4's—a very serviceable score which took 110 minutes to compile. One run later Lewis, too, was disposed of, half the wickets then
