Cricket 1906

322 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. A ug . 9, 1906. received comparatively moderate support. Fielder, in particular, was disappointing, so much so indeed that he was left out of the Kent Eleven in ten matches. This summer, however, he has quite rehabilitated himself as a fast bowler of the first class. Reference need only be made incidentally to his remarkable feat on the occasion of his first match for the Players against the Gentlemen last month at Lord’s. At all events he has the satisfaction of an unique record in a great and historic match in taking all ten wickets in the firdt inniDgs of the Gentlemen. Apart from that, he has this season taken no less than 124 wickets for Kent. He has been bowling, if anything, faster than ever this summer, and, with the exception of N. A. Knox, is as fait as anyone of the year. He takes a long run, bat his fine physique prevents him tiring, and he maintains a wonderful length over after over. His best ball is that which swings away, but he sends down an occasional off-break which naturally wants a lot of playing. A good and keen worker, he thoroughly deserves all the success he has won on the cricket field. PELHAM v. OUOKFIELD.—Played at Cuckfield on July 28. C uckfield . C.

YORKSHIRE v. WEST INDIANS. Played at Harrogate on August 2, 3 and 4. West Indians won by 262 runs. Some remarkable play took place on the opening day of this match, the visitors scoring 270 and then putting Yorkshire out for 50. The county were certainly not at their strongest, but, nevertheless, they had a good side. Constantine and Layne by free cricket put on 117 for the second wicket in 70 minutes, the former, who hit a dozen 4’s (five of which he obtained in an over off Sedgwick), making many fine cuts and drives during the 85 minutes he was in. Layne batted an hour and a-half for his 63 —a splendid innings. At lunch-time the score was 183 with only three men out, but after the interval the last seven wickets went down for 87 before Myers, who took five for 29 during that period. The home side proved quite unable to make any stand whatever against Ollivierre and Smith, and in eighty minutes were all dismissed for 50. Ollivierre took seven wickets for 23, only one of which was bowled. On Friday, Challenor and Constantine made 69 for the first wicket in 35 minutes, the former, who hit nine 4’s, scoring 47 out of 89 in 55 minutes. The feature of the day’s play was a faultless innings by Goodman, who made 102 out of 173 in an hour and a-half. He hit well all round the wickot and obtained sixteen 4’s. W ith Layne he put on 91 for the fourth wicket in 50 minutes, and with Bancroft 50 for the seventh in 20 minutes without being separated. When Goodman had reached three figures the innings was declared closed, the visitors then being 525 runs on. In the 100 minutes remain­ ing before stumps were drawn, Yorkshire lost four wickets for 114. Denton and Tunnicliffe, who pur. on 59 for the second wicket together, played good cricket, and, at the end of the day the former was still unconquered with 42 to his credit. On Satur­ day, DentOn continued to play well, and, when the innings closed, was left to carry out his bat for 102 , for which he was batting for 190 minutes. He hit twelve 4’s and gave no chance. Taylor helped him add 138 for the fifth wicket in 80 minutes, but, not much further resistance being offered to the attack, the West Indians won by 268 runs. It was a very praiseworthy performance on the part of the visitors, despite the fact that the County were not at full strength. Score and analysis W est Indians. First innings. G.

SUSSEX v. SURREY. Played at Brighton on August 2, 3 and 4. Surrey won by nine wickets. Surrey took the field in this match without May and Knox, the former leaving England for a foot­ ball tour abroad and the latter resting, whilst Sussex lacked the services of H. L. Simms, who was indisposed. The home team made a poor start, half the side being out for 65, whilst the total was only 100 when the seventh wicket fell. Smith, however, played a most useful innings, and it was largely owing to him that the score eventually reached 215. He hit seven 4’s during the 110 minutes he was in, making many fine drives, and gave only one chance, when 54. With Seymour he added 73 for the eighth wicket in 55 minutes, and with Butt 27 for the last. Rushby was the most effective of the Surrey bowlers, his five wickets costing just under 14 runs each. The visitors lost Hayward with only 10 runs on the board, but with the advent of Hayes the score was taken along at a smart pace. Holland, was out lbw at 48, but Goatly stayed in until the finish, being then sent back by a fine catch at mid- on by Smith. When stumps were drawn Surrey had made 117 for three wickets. Hayes, who was not out 73, hit brilliantly all round the wicket. He reached 50 out of 78 in 50 minutes. On Friday the Surrey batsmen collapsed in a rather surprising man­ ner, the last seven wickets going down for 108 in an hour and three-quarters. The wicket certainly helped the bowlers somewhat, as is evident from the fact that during the day eighteen wickets fell for 389 runs. Hayes scored 97 out of 149 in two hours, driving well and hitting fourteen 4’s. He m ight have been caught at the wicket when 16, but it was a difficult chance and detracted little from a fine display. Sussex, when they went in the second time, fared so badly that, against Lees and Rushby, six wickets fell for 63. Leach, who hit eight 4’s in his 43, then helped Cox to put on 56 for the seventh wicket in forty-five minutes, and, Dwyer hitting well at the end of the innings, the total eventually reached 207, leaving Surrey 198 to get to win. Dwyer, hitting ten 4’s, made 63 out of 82 in fifty minutes, some of his drives being very powerful. W ith Seymour he put on 29 for the ninth wicket, and with Butt 53 for the last. Surrey lost Hobbs at 11, but Hayward and Hayes, ere play ceased for the day, took the score to 74 with­ out further loss. On Saturday m orning the pair succeeded in rubbing off the runs in eighty minutes without being separated, their partnership in all realising 190. Hayes, who might have been caught when 76, hit eleven 4’s, and scored his 105 out of 190 in two hours. Hayward hit a 5 and five ’s and gave no chance. Surrey won by nine wickets.
