Cricket 1906

J u n e 28, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 237 YORKSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Sheffield on June 2-5, 26 and 27. Drawn. For the sixteenth time in succession Kent, who were without Blaker, Dillon, Mason, Blythe and Huish, lost the toss. On a wicket which was a trifle soft, run-getting never became an easy matter, only 307 being made on the opening day for eleven wickets. Fielder sent back Rothery and Denton for 24, but Rhodes and Tunnicliffe, by adding 78 for the third wicket in seventy-five minutes, atoned somewhat for the disasters. The ball which bowled Tunnicliffo sent a bail 45 yards from the wicket. Rhodes showed by far the best cricket of the day: he batted one hundred and fifty-five minutes, and hit a dozen 4’s. Late in the innings a curious incident occurred. Fielder bowled Hawke, but Marsham, the Kent captain, requested him to resume his innings, as the bails had been blown off before the wicket was struck by the ball—a proposal to which the batsman did not accede. Wilkinson batted an hour and a quarter for 42, whilst Grim­ shaw and Haigh added 66 for the ninth wicket in seventy minutes. After lasting 290 minutes, the innings closed for 287. Fielder took six wickets for 103 and bowled superbly, at one time being on for two hours without a rest. Before play ceased Kent scored 20 for the loss of Hubble. During the night the wicket was affected by rain, and it appeared probable that Kent would make a poor show against the Yorkshire attack. At 27 Hirst bowled Seymour, smashing a stump, while 15 later Hearne, who had batted an hour for 11, was also sent back. Day made a useful 24, but the first serious stand was made when Woolley and Hutchings came together. The former was very lucky, but remained long enough to help the amateur add 61 for the fifth wicket in forty-five minutes. The feature of the day’s cricket was the batting of Hutchings, who made some splendid drives, but was somewhat fortunate. He reached 50 in an hour and-arquarter and helped Humphreys to add 69 for the sixth wicket in fifty minutes. Altogether, he batted one hundred and seventy minutes and hit seventeen 4’s, and, although he might have been out when 7, 11 and 33, he made his last 100 runs in superb style, and on his retirement was accorded a great ovation, which he well merited. It was due almost entirely to him that Kent were able to claim a lead of five runs on the first innings. When they went in the second time Yorkshire lost Rothery and Grimshaw for 20, but Denton and Tunnicliffe improved matters considerably by adding 79 for the second wicket. Denton hit seven 4’s in his 53, which took him seventy minutes to compile. By the end of the day the home side had lost six wickets for 124, and were then only 119 runs ahead. On the last day Hirst played a capital game, and had the personal satisfaction of completing his thousand runs. With Lord Hawke he put on 82 for the eighth wicket in an hour and 20 minutes. Altogether, he made 93 out of 120 in 170 minutes, giving no chance and hitting 13 4’s. It was a very characteristic display. Haigh made a few good hits, and Kent were loft with 253 to get in two hundred minutes. Before a run had been made Hearne was missed at slip by Tunnicliffe—a mistake much to the benefit of the visitors. Day again made a useful score, but the feature of the innings was the continued success of Hutchings, who carried out his bat for 50 when the game was left drawn. At the finish Kent, with three wickets in hand, were 63 behind. They played a splendid game throughout, and their future performances will be followed with interest. Score and analysis:— Y orkshirb .

So fine a display did the visitors give on the opening day that, when stumps were drawn, their total had reached 417 for nine wickets. The founda­ tion of this large score was laid by Wood, who batted two hours for his 64, which contained ten 4’8. The feature of the play, however, was the suc­ cess which attended the efforts of Knight and Jayes, whose partnership for the seventh wicket lasted one hundred and five minutes and realised 158. Knight, who cut well, had the satisfaction of record­ ing his first 100 o| the season. He batted two hundred and twenty-five minutes, hit a 6 and nine 4’s, and, apart from a chance when 59, made no mistake. Jayes. who had never before played a three-figure innings in a great match, was rather lucky, seeing that he was missed when 7, 51 and 96. Still, he made many line strokes, and hit a 6 and fourteen 4’s ; altogether, he obtained 100 out of 158 in an hour and three-quarters. On Tuesday the innings closed without a run being added, and, in reply,Warwickshlre made but a feeble start. Kinnier made 13 of the first 31, but, although Bowley made 57 out of 100 in two hours, the sixth wicket fell at 160. It was at this point, when 108were still required to save the follow-on, that Byrne and Baker came together. Both played a good game, and made their highest score of the season. Together they put on 143 for the seventh wicket in ninety minutes—a partnership of the greatest value to the side. Byrne scored 115 out of 204 in one hundred and fifty-five minutes without giving a chance, and hit a 6, a 5, and eleven 4’s, whilst Baker, who also played fault­ less cricket, was in two hours for 63, a score which included five 4’s. Eventually the innings closed for 364, or only 63 behind, and, at the fall of the last wicket, play ended for the day. Yesterday rain interfered considerably with the game, only twenty minutes’ play being possible prior to lunch. De Trafford, Joyce and Knight made serviceable scores, and, when the total had reached 152 for six wickets, the innings was declared closed, leaving the home side 206 to win. The match was drawn.
