Cricket 1906

CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 5, 1906. giving a chance. None of the Oxonians reached the half-century, but the majority made useful scores, and Worsley and Branston did good service by Adding 66 for the sixth wicket in 40 minutes. At the end of the day the visitors were 44 runs on with four wickets in hand. No play was possible on the following day until ten minutes to five, owing to the heavy rains during the night and early morning. Branston, who had received a painful blow on the elbow whilst batting the evening before, was unable to resume his innings, his absence being a great loss to the side. The wicket favoured the bowlers some­ what, and the outstanding wickets fell in 50 minutes for 43. Before play ceased for the day the M.C.O., 87 in arrears, scored 34 runs without loss in 35 minutes. On Saturday, Raphael and Challoner remained together until the score had reached 96, when the latter was sent back. Raphael reached 50 out of 82 in an hour and a half and, in all, scored 66 out of 105 in 115 minutes, hitting nine 4’s. The home side made runs quickly, Newstead, who batted an hour and a half, hitting a dozen 4’s in his 80, and Vogler, who made nine 4’s. scoring 48 out of 66 in 30 minutes. Newstead and Weigall put on 110 for the fourth wicket in 65 minutes. When the score had reached 330 for six, the innings was declared closed, Oxford being left 145 minutes in which to obtain 244. An excellent start was made, Foster and Payne hitting up 110 for the first wicket in an hour, but at that total both were sent back. The rate of run- getting continued fast and, when 200 went up in just under two hours, only 44 were required with half-an-hour left for play. When the fifth wicket fell the score was 215, but so complete a collapse then took place that the whole side were out for 225, the M.O.O. Avinning by 18 runs five minutes before time. G. T. Branston was unable to bat, and his absence doubtless had much to do with the result. Score and analysis:— M.O.C. and G round . First innings. Second innings. Capt.E.L.

Played at Portsmouth on June 28 and 29. Somerset won by an innings and 151 runs. Without the services of Major Poore and A. J. L. Hill, Hampshire were not at full strength, but the poor form the side showed could not be attributed solely to the absence of the players named. The batting of the home side was distinctly disappoint­ ing. Winning the toss, they were all disposed of in 100 minutes by Braund and Lewis on a good wicket for 71. Nobody on the side played the bowling with any confidence, and Barrett, who made the highest score, and carried out his bat for 14, was at the wickets 55 minutes. Braund took six wickets for 28, and Lewis four for 38, the two bowling unchanged throughout the innings. Somerset gave a very different display, for, after Braund and Martyn had scored 54 together for the openingKpartnership, Lewis assisted the latter to put on 95 for the second wicket in an hour. Martyn, who hit a 6and thirteen 4’s. batted an hour and fifty minutes, but was lucky, inasmuch as he was twice missed—before he had made a run and when he had scored 62. He drove with great power and played a very attractive innings. When play ceased for the day tho visitors had scored 288 for nine wickets, being then 217 runs on with a wicket in hand. On the following day the innings closed without any addition being made to the score. There had been much rain during the night, and play was not resumed until half-past two. Hampshire’s second innings was almost more dis­ appointing than their first, seeing that the whole side were sent back in an hour and a-half for 66. Oapt. Greig, unfortunately, was unable to bat, having severely damaged a finger in stopping a hard return whilst bowling. Sprot made 22 out of 23 in 24 minutes, but, as in the first innings, only three men succeeded in reaching double figures. Braund again bowled well, and for the whole match obtained a record of eleven wickets for 61. Somerset won by an innings and 151 runs. Score and analysis:— H am pshire . First inniugs.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at the Oval on June 28, 29 and 30. Cambridge University won by eight wickets. For this match Surrey took the field without Lord Dalmeny, Orawford, Hayward, Hobbs, Lees and Strudwick, but, until the afternoon of the third day, always seemed in a winning position. It was the last of the Cambridge trial matches, and the splendid manner in which the side won the game by eight wickets should cause them to enter the field at Lord’s to-day full of confidence. Reiner, who was making his dibut for the county, batted 70 minutes for a couple of dozen, but was twice missed. With Hayes he put on 65 for the second wicket. The feature of the innings was the batting of Hayes, who made 126 out of 178 in 135 minutes. He hit well all round the wicket, but when he had made 12 was badly missed at point. He hit sixteen 4’s and in the early part of his innings completed his thousand runs for the season. His stand with Holland for the third wicket realised 99, the latter playing very steadily and claiming but 25 of that number. When four wickets had fallen Payne damaged a thumb and handed over the gloves to Young, who made three good catches behind the wicket. Goatly played a bright innings, and cut well during the two hours and ten minutes he was in, but he, too, was favoured by the fielding side, seeing that he was missed when 22. He and Sted- man put on 93 together for the sixth wicket, but, the last four wickets falling quickly, the innings closcd for 321. In just over an hour Cambridge scored 33 for two wickets ere play ceased, Payne being out at 20 and Keigwin at 32. During the early hours of Friday morning London was visited by a very, heavy storm, and no play was possible until twenty minutes to four. The ground was then slow and easy, and every player except Mainprice, who scored nine, reached double figures. Page was in an hour and a quarter for 51, and with Young put on 57 for the sixth wicket; he hit a 5 and five 4’s. The innings closed for 228, Smith, who took half the wickets for 75, having the best analysis. Hefore stumps were drawn Surrey made seven runs without loss, being then exactly 100 on with all their wickets in hand. On Saturday, with the exception of Goatly and Hayes, whose partnership lasted 50 minutes and realised 68, none of the Surrey men succeeded in reaching 30, the inning3 closing for 204. It was a disappointing performance but the side appeared safe, inasmuch as the University were set 298 to get on a slow wicket. Payne, upon opening the innings with Young, gave a most brilliant display, hitting to all parts of the ground in dazzling fashion, and treating all the bowlers alike in a most impartial manner. So finely did he hit that, of the 186 obtained for the first wicket in an hour and a-half, he claimed 128. He made no mistake and hit a 6 (all run, off Rushby) and seven­ teen 4’s. Young carried out his bat for 103 made out of 298 in 165 minutes. He hit a 5 and twelve 4’s, and, though not playing in anything like so brilliant a fashion as Payne, proved of the greatest value to his side. Notwithstanding the unrepresentative character of the home side, it was a capital perform­ ance on the part of the Light Blues to win in such splendid style. During the afternoon Knox strained his side severely, but it will not prevent him from assisting the Gentlemen at Lord’s on Monday. Score and analysis:— S urrey . First innings. Second innings.
