Cricket 1906

230 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 28, 1906. GLOUCESTERSH IRE v. LANCASH IRE. Played at Gloucester on June 21, 22 and 23. Lancashire won by 201 runs. The visitors mad© an excellent start in this match. Spooner, who hit eight 4’s, and Heap scoring 88 together for the first wicket in 70 minutes. Both succumbed to the bowling of Percy H. Ford, a local all-round player, 6 feet 6 inche* high, who was making his debut for Gloucestershire. Poidevin and Tyldesley made useful scores, but the feature of the day’s cricket was the batting of Sharp, who, hitting fourteen 4’s, scored 96 out of 185 in 110 minutes. He made some excellent off-drives and cut well, and, with Harry, put on 87 for the fifth wicket in fifty minutes. The innings closed for 376, made in four hours and a-quarter. Ere play ceased for the day Gloucestershire scored 6 without loss. On the fol­ lowing morning the visiting bowlers proved very successful, half the side being out for 94. Then Board went in and played a great game for his side. He hit well all round the wicket, his cutting being very fine. He reached 51 out of 78 in an hour and a-quarter, and, altogether, scored 76 out of 127 in 115 minutes without losing his wicket, giving a faultless display. He hit nine 4’s, and, with Huggins, put on 76 for the seventh wicket in fifty- five minutes. When he had made 19 he was so severely hurt by a ball bowled by Harry that he fell to the ground in agony. A local doctor, who chanced to be present, ran to his assistance, but was pre­ vented from attending to the injured player by the Lancashire captain, A. H. Hornby, who endeavoured to forcibly remove him. Jessop then appeared upon the ground, and, acting upon his suggestion, the doctor retired, but afterwards requested the honorary manager of the match to order the withdrawal of the whole Lancashire team from the field! The unusual incident naturally caused much comment. With a lead of 155 Lancashire pre­ ferred to go in again to making their opponents follow-on, but wickets fell fast, six being down for 121. At this point Sharp and Cuttell came together and succeeded in playing out time, putting on 68 in the meantime, Lancashire, when stumps were drawn, being 344 ahead with four wicketa in hand. On Saturday Sharp added only 4 to his overnight score, batting, in all, 110 minutes for his 72, included in which were nine 4’s. Cuttell made a very serviceable 66, but was twice missed. It will be seen that during the innings only one extra was allowed, and that a wide. Gloucestershire never appeared likely to obtain the 399 set them to win, three wickets being down at lunch-time for 80, and the seventh falling at 101. Dennett and Ford, however, lessened the defeat considerably by putting on 62 for the last wicket. Still, the home side were beaten by the heavy margin of 201 runs, Dean taking six wickets for 32.

Warwickshire won by five wickets. On the opening day, so difficult a matter did run- getting prove, that eighteen wickets fell for 260 runs. The visitors lost half their wickets for 71, Hargreave obtaining his first three victims without a run being made oft him. Thompson played a very useful game, scoring 50 out of 125 in 150 minutes, and, "owing mainly to him, the total eventually reached 145. He hit five 4’s. Warwickshire lost Kinneir, Devey and Quaife for 28, and, by the time stumps were drawn, had made 115 for eight wickets. On the next day the visitors succeeded in gaining a lead of nine on the first innings, but did not do very well when they went in the second time. Some of the cricket was very slow, Cox scoring only 8 singles in the first hour he was in, whilst Kingston, who carried out his bat for 26, batted 80 minutes. Hargreave again bowled well and, in the whole match, took ten wickets for 104. Warwickshire were left 143 to win, and, in the 130 minutes remain­ ing for play, scored 91 for four wickets. On Saturday, after Hargreave had been sent back with 2 added, Fishwick and Baker hit off the runs, War­ wickshire winning by five wickets. Fishwick, who might have been run out before he scored, hit five 4’s in his 31. Score and analysis N ORTHAMPTONSIIIRE. First innings. O.J.T.Pool,c Byrne,bSantall 27 Cox (M.), b Hargreave ... 2 E. M.

LEICESTERSH IRE v. ESSEX. Played at Leicester on June 21, 22 and 23. Essex won by 136 runs. The home side were severely handicapped in this match owing to the absence of Odell, who was injured. His place was taken by Palmer, a slow left-handed bowler. Reese hit 31 out of 57 in forty minutes ere being bowled by Jayes, whilst Carpenter, Perrin and Fane all made useful scores. Still, half the side were out for 193, but, fortunately for Essex, McGahey and Buckenham scored well. The former, who gave two chances and hit six 4’s, batted an hour and a-half for 68, whilst Buckenham took sixty-five minutes to make 43. Douglas was very slow, his score of 9, which took an hour to compile, being composed entirely of singles. The innings closed for 309, made in 280 minutes, and, in response, Leicestershire made 44 for the loss of De Trafford and Wood ere play ceased for the day. On Friday some good cricket was shown by Knight, Crawford, and Coe, neither of whom gave a chance. The amateur hit in his finest form, as, in addition to obtaining four 4’s off an over from Douglas, he hit Mead over the pavilion twice in succession for 6. Altogether he scored 45 out of 64 added with Knight for the fourth wicket in twenty-five minutes, hitting two 6’s and six 4’s. The innings closed for 221, or 88 behind. Essex in their second innings again scored well. Carpenter and Perrin put on 79 for the second wicket in seventy- five minutes, and McGahey and Douglas 98 for the sixth in an hour. Carpenter scored 62 out of 116 in an hour and a-half, hitting eight 4’s, whilst McGahey, who made 44, took forty minutes to obtain his first 7. At the end of the day Essex, with four wickets in hand, were 363 runs on. On Saturday the visitors declared at 316 for nine, leaving Leicester­ shire 405 to win in just over five hours. Douglas played a very good innings of 72 not out, and obtained his runs quicker than he generally does. De Trafford and Wood remained together for three- quarters of an hour, and were both sent back at the same total—53. At lunch time three wickets were down for 105. Crawford and Coe added 77 for the fourth wicket in fifty minutes, and Jayes and King 70 for the seventh wicket in fifty-five. Coo batted nearly two hours for 58, and, in the entire match, scored 96 for once out. King was in an hour and a-quarter and made no mistake. Essex won by 136 runs. Score and analysis E ssex .
