Cricket 1906

J une 28, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP TEtE GAMfi. 235 SURREY v. W E ST IND IANS. Played at the Oval on June 25 and 26. Surrey won by ten wickets. Although Surrey took the field without Knox. Crawford, Hobbs, Lees and Strudwick, they proved sufficiently strong to outplay their opponents with considerable ease. The County’s first three batsmen played bright cricket and when, at lunch time, the score was 174 with only two wickets down, a very large total appeared in prospect. Hayward made 34 out of 56 in forty-five minutes, Hayes 54 out of 95 in similar time, and Raphael 71 out of 194 in two hours and a quarter. Hayes hit four 4’s and Raphael five. The latter, who gave a chance just before he was out, also made as many as 42 singles, which is quite a curiosity in its way. Nine of the eleven reached double-figures, the innings closing for 306. When six wickets had fallen, Bancroft unfortunately dis­ located a finger and had to retire, his place behind the stumps being taken by Ollivierre, who disposed of Goatly whilst in that position. Layne, who took seven wickets for 76, obtained his last six for 32. The visitors made only a poor stand when they went in, and, when play ceased for the day, had lost eight wickets for 103, then requiring 54 to save the follow- on. Ollivierre was out to a grand catch by Smith at mid-on, and I^ayne was brilliantly run out by Lord Dalmeny. On Tuesday morning the last two wickets fell in a quarter of an hour for 18, and Surrey, 185 to the good, called upon the visitors to follow on. In their second innings Ollivierre left at 37 for 18, and Ohallenor at 49 for 26, whilst at 54 Layne was run out and three later Smith bowled, four wickets then being down for 57. Harragin and Austin then came together, and, after the innings had lasted eiglity-five minutes, sent up the 100. Altogether, the fifth wicket added 90 in fiveminutes over the hour. Harragin, whose 57 was the highest score made in the match for his side, batted seventy- five minutes and hit ten 4’s. After lunch three wickets fell for 6 runs, but Burton and Constantine, by adding 48 for the ninth in half-an-hour saved the innings defeat. Both made some fine strokes, Constantine in his 47 hitting eight 4’s. The innings closed for 231, and, Raphael and Spring obtaining the necessary 47 without being separated; Surrey won by ten wickets. It will be seen that as many as five men were run out in the two innings of the visitors. After the match Harragin threw a cricket ball 119 yards, two feet.

DERBYSH IRE v. NOTTINGHAMSH IRE . Played at Derby on June 25 and 26. Nottinghamshire won by 10 wickets On a good wicket as many as eighteen men were dismissed on the first day for 352, John Gunn and Warren bowling in fine form for their respective sides. Derbyshire commenced badly, losing Wright at 16, and, although Ollivierre made some good strokes on the leg side, six wickets were down for 96. Ashcroft,fortunately,playedoneof his plucky innings, and batted altogethera hundred and fifteen minutes for his 64, a most valuable display which contained six 4’s. Humphries helped him put on 38 for the seventh wicket, but the others did practically nothing, the innings closing for 158. John Gunn took seven of the wickets for 75 runs, and bowled with excellent judgment. Jones and Iremonger opened the Nottinghamshire innings so energetically that the first wicket realised 47 in a quarter of an hour. Jones scored 16 off Cadnian’s first over, but Iremonger played a more sedate game and claimed 43 of the first 87 runs made ere being caught at the wicket. Warren then bowled in fine form, the sixth wicket falling at 128 and the eighth at 156. Every­ thing pointed to the probability that the innings would be over ere stumps were drawn, but the Derbyshire fielding suddenly deteriorated, and Wass and Day, both of whom were missed, suc­ ceeded in keeping their wickets intact until play ceased, when the visitors were 36 ahead and had two wickets to fall. On Tuesday Wass, who was lucky, reached 50 in three-quarters of an hour, and with Day put on 93 for the ninth wicket in fifty minutes. Thanks chiefly to this partnership Notts were abl6 to possess a lead of 105 on the first innings. Upon going in the second time, the home side again found run-getting no easy matter. Ollivierre was out at 30 and Ashcroft at 49, Ellis was sent back at 69, and at 76 Wright, who had played a very steady game, was stumped for 26. Nine of the eleven reached double figures, but the total amounted to 178only. Humph­ ries, who again carried out his bat, made the highest score on the side, and should in future go in earlier. He and Bestwick put on 45 for the last wicket in 45 minutes. Notts., set 73 to win, obtained that number without loss of a wicket. Score and analysis D erbyshire . First innings. L. G. Wright, b J.

Like the Leicestershire men at Edgbaston, Wor­ cestershire succeeded in staying at the wickets the whole of the opening day and reaching 400 without losing all their wickets. A. H. Hornby, owing to a split finger, did not play for the home side, whilst Brearley also was away. The first portion of the Worcestershire innings was marked by a good display on the part of Bowley who, hitting thirteen 4’s, made 80 out of 202 in one hundred and fifty-five minutes without giving a chance. With Pearson he made 47 for the first wicket in thirty-five minutes, with Foster 73 for the second in sixty-five, and with Arnold 82 for the third in fifty. The last-named, who made 50 in seventy minutes and 100 in one hunded and fifty-five, also gave a faultless display, and scored 126 out of 259 in three hours and three- quarters. He hit well all round the wicket and made thirteen 4’s. Cuffe, who helped him put on 130 for the fourth wicket in one hundred and fifteen minutes, was missed when 7 by MacLaren in the slips. His innings, which was a fortunate one, con­ tained nine 4’s, and was marked by some good play on the leg-side. At the end of the day the visitors had made 400, and had still four wickets in hand. During the night there was some rain, and the wicket suffered in consequence. The four out­ standing wickets of the visitors added 92 in 65 minutes, Burns staying in until he had made 59 in 50 minutes and Burrows scoring 43 in five minutes over the half-hour. It was not expected that, as the ground was, Lancashire would approach their oppo­ nents’ large total, but the display they gave never­ theless came as a disappointment. Heap was 66Dt back for a single, and, although Spooner, who made 40 in an hour and a-quarter, and Tyldesley added 69 for the second wicket, half the side were out for 107. MacLaren and Findlay reached double figures, but the total reached 150 only. Wilson and Cuffe shared the wickets,the latterhavingslightly thebetter figures. When Lancashire followed-on, 342 behind, MacLaren hit up 30 of the first 38 runs in twenty- five minutes ere being dismissed, and Tyldesley afterwards assisted Spooner in improving the situation considerably, the pair adding 93 for the second wicket in an hour and ten minutes. The professional, who reached his thousand runs for the season, hit six 4’s in his useful 52. At the end of the day, Lancashire, with eight wickets to fall, were still 192 in arrears, Spooner beinj? not out 52. Yester­ day, owing to rain, no play was possible until 1.30. Spooner and Poidevin stayed together until their partnership for the third wicket had lasted 50 minutes and put on 60. Sharp made a couple of dozen, but no one else accorded Spooner much assistance, with the result that the innings closed for 304. Spooner at times appeared somewhat un­ comfortable, but he played a very great game for his side, and thoroughly deserved his success. Burrows bowled well, and took half-a-dozen wickets for 60. Worcestershire won by an innings and 38 runs. Score and analysis:— W ORCESTERSHIRE.
