Cricket 1906

262 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 12 , 1906. DERBYSHIRE v. SUSSEX. Played at Derby on July 5, 6, and 7. Derbyshire won by five wickets. The home side accomplished a fine performance in this match by winning by five wickets, after going in against a score of 427, especially as when play was resumed on the last morning the visitors were 117 ahead and had nine wickets in hand. The out" standing feature of the opening day’s cricket was a fine innings by Killick, who scored 125 out of 241 in three hours without a mistake. He made several fine strokes on the off-side, and hit sixteen 4’s and a seven (including a four overthrow). With Vine he put on 128for the secondwicket in 100minutes. Leach and Simms afterwards hit well, their partnership for the seventh wicket realising 61 in just over half- an hour. I.each hit ten 4’s and Simms eight. Sey­ mour played a very useful innings, adding 58 with Simms in twenty-five minutes, and 53 with Butt in thirty. The innings closed for 427, and in reply Derbyshire scored nine without loss before play ceased. On Friday the total was taken to 42 before Humphries was bowled, and then Wright and Ash­ croft added 136 together in 115 minutes before the latter was adjudged run out for a faultless 74, which contained six 4’s. Wright reached 50 in 75 minutes, and in all scored 96 out of 193 in three hours, hitting eight 4’s. He was missed when eight, but had the satisfaction of making his highest score of the year. Needham, Warren, and Cadman all made useful scores, but Derbyshire were 109 behind on the first innings. Ere play ended for the day Sussex lost R. R. Relf for eight. On Saturday Bestwick was in great form, and half the visitors’ wickets were actually down for 36. Leach and Cox then doubled the total, but the score was only 119 when the last man was sent back. Bestwick took seven wickets for 49, bowling very finely indeed. Derbyshire were set 229 to win, and, thanks to a series of most useful partnerships, and a faultless three-figure innings by Ashcroft, won with half their wickets in hand. Wright and Ollivierre made twenty together for the first wicket and the former and Ashcroft 82 for the second, whilst Needham afterwards assisted the latter to put on 75. When the game was won Ash­ croft was left to carry out his bat for 100, made in 185 minutes, and containing twelve 4’s. During the last day one of the umpires, Woodcock, had to retire through illness, and his place was taken by Humphries. Score and analysis S ussex . First innings. Second innings.

AN INNINGS OF 634 BY SURREY. h a y w a r d ’ s t e n t h h u n d r e d . Surrey won by an innings and 62 runs. For the eighth time in succession Warwickshire lost the toss, and were obliged to field for almost a day and a half whilst their opponents ran up the large score of 631. Surrey started by no means in promising fashion, for Hobbs was sent back at 43, Hayes at 50, and Crawford 10 runs later. In Goatly, however, Hayward found a splendid partner, the two putting on 213 together for the fourth wicket in 115 minutes. Goatly, who was especially good on the leg-side, reached 50 in 80 minutes, and hit eleven 4’s in his 81. Whilst he was in, one over from Quaife received very severe treatment: off the first ball Goatly obtained a single, but the following five Hay­ ward punished for 4, 6, 4, 4, 6, the sixes being huge drives which cleared the stand at the side of the Pavilion. At times the run-getting was decidedly brisk, the score being taken from 200 to 300 in 45 minutes. Hayward played a most attractive game, and throughout his long innings made no mistake whatever. His off-driving, as usual, was particularly noticeable, whilst his cutting and placing left nothing to be desired. He reached 51 out of 77 in 75 minutes, 101 out of 173 in 160,151 out of 254 in 200, and, altogether, scored 208 out of 344 in 235 minutes. During his long innings—his tenth hundred of the season —he hit two 6’s and twenty 4’s, and completed his 2,000 runs for the year, his aggregate when at last he was dismissed being 2,140. Holland and Lees were togetherwhen play ceased for the day, the total then being 459 for six wickets. On Friday the overnight not-outs remained together until the stand for the seventh wicket had realised 145 in 105 min­ utes. Lees made some good hits in his 78, and played an attractive game. Moulder helped to put on 66 for the eighth wicket in 43 minutes, whilst Strudwick hit up 31 of the 42 added for the last in 25 minutes. Holland, who reached 100 in two hours and three-quarters, waa left to carry out his bat for 134—a faultless display which lasted 220 minutes and contained a dozen 4’s. The total amounted to 634, made in 450 minutes, and during their long outing the visitors’ fielding was always of a high standard, Baker being especially prominent. Before lunch, Warwickshire had a few minutes’ batting, and scored one without loss. After the interval wickets fell quickly, Kinneir and Devey being sent back in Leesr first over with only two scored, whilst Charlesworth was bowled at 19 and Fishwick caught at 30, and, although Quaife and Ialley put on 32 together, half the side were out in 70 minutes for 62. The later men, fortunately for the visitors, proved more successful, and Baker, who was in for a couple of hours, scored 57 and, with Quaife, added 65 for the sixth wicket in 80 minutes. The last-named batted two hours and a quarter for his 4^, giving a very valuable display at a critical time. At the end of the day Warwickshire had made 164 for nine wickets, and then required 321 to save the follow-on. The Surrey men fielded and bowled well, Lees doing far better than his figures would lead one to suppose. On the following morning the last wicket added 18, and Warwickshire were called upon to go in again, 452 behind. At 12 Lees bowled Kinneir, and when, at 29, Oharlesworth, Devey and Quaife were all sent back, an easy win for Surrey appeared probable. Fishwick made three 4’s off Lees in one over, but was then l.b.w., half the side then being out for 59 in an hour. At that point, however, Sur­ rey’s success was checked, for Lilley and Baker, coming together, defied the bowling so well that 199 were put on for the sixth wicket in 125 minutes. Baker, who made several fine strokes to the ofE and to leg, batted 205 minutes, and hit sixteen 4’s— four of them in one over off Hayes. He was twice missed, when 62 and again when 67, but played a very good innings. Lilley played a very bright game, making 122 out of 229 in 140 minutes, and hitting a five and seventeen 4’s. He was badly missed by Goatly when 110, but offered no other chance. Warwickshire had made so good a fight that it appeared quite possible that they would succeed in drawing the match. With two wickets still in hand only half-an-hour remained for play. Five minutes later Santall was sent back, but, so fine a resistance did Hargreave and Moorhouse then make that only three minutes remained when the latter fell before Lees. Surrey won by an innings and 62 runs. Score and analysis:— S urrey .

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Manchester on July 5, 6 and 7. Lancashire won by an innings and ‘29 runs. Neither side was at full strength for this match, Jessop and MacLaren being amongst the absentees. The visitors commenced fairly well, Wrathall and E. Barnett making 53 for the first wicket in fifty minutes, but ten minutes later the former also was sent back—for 41 out of 67 obtained whilst in—and by lunch-time six men were out for 107. O. Barnett played a very steady innings, batting an hour and three-quarters for 31, and, although Huggins and afterwards scored well, the innings ciosed for 210. Lancashire lost Spooner at 4, but Heap and lyldesley advanced the score to 32 before rain came down anq put an end to play for the day. On the foltowmg morning Tyldesley played a skilful innings <>n a damaged wicket, hitting well all round, but excelling in late cuts and drives. He made 1^8 out of 214 in 170 minutes, and hit seventeen 4 s. He made only one mistake, being missed when 119. With Poidevin, who should have been caught before he made ajrun, he added 89 for the tbird Wicket in fifty minutes. Dean and Worsley quickly put on 36 foY the last wicket, and Lancashire gained a lead of 84 on the first innings. When they went in the second tfipe, Gloucestershire gave a most feeble display, being all dismissed In 80 minutes for 55 by Cuttell and Kermode. Tlroma&
