Cricket 1906

342 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 16, 1906. three wickets in 285 minutes. There were three long partnerships, Burnup and Seymour adding 100 for the second wicket in 85 minutes, the former and Hutchings 99 for the third in 70, and the last- named and Mason 201 without being separated in 110 minutes for the fourth. The feature of the day’s play was the fine cricket shown by Hutchings, who reached 50 in 70 minutes, 100 in two hours, and, in all, batted for 175 minutes for 167 not out without a mistake. Burnup, who scored 94 out of 208 in 175 minutes, was in for 50 minutes for his first 8 runs. Before reaching double figures he was missed at the wicket, but afterwards played very well, his on-drives. being especially fine. He hit thirteen 4’s, and was run out entirely through his own fault. Seymour made some good strokes on the off-side in his fifty, but was missed by MacLaren in the slips when 40. On the following m orning the remaining Kent batsmen, anxious for Lancashire to go in as soon as jjossible, hit out recklessly, and soon brought the innings to a close for 479, made in 340 minutes. The partnership of Hutchings and Mason altogether realised 213 for the fourth wicket in two hours. Hutchings made his 176 out of 312 in 190 minutes, hitting twenty-seven 4’s and a 5, whilst Mason, who made eleven 4’s, batted for two hours and twenty minutes for his 88. Neither gave a chance of any kind. In response to Kent’s total of 479, Lancashire lost four wickets for 67, Spooner being out without a run off the last ball of Fielder’s first over. Poidevin played a very useful innings of 45, adding 29 for the fourth wicket with Sharp and 46 for the fifth with MacLaren in 40 minutes W hilst the last-named was batting he made a big off-drive, and, the ball clearing the ring, it struck the forehead of an elderly gentleman with so much force as to necessi­ tate his removal to the hospital. Against Fielder and Blythe the visitors were all disposed of in 145 minutes on a good wicket for 169, and were obliged to follow-on 310 behind. In their second innings they fared no better, Spooner (who bagged a brace), Tyldesley, Poidevin and Makepeace all being out for 20. Then MacLaren and Sharp added 58 together in three-quarters of an hour without being separated, Lancashire, when stumps were drawn, being 232 behind with six wickets to fall. On Saturday Sharp, with only 2 runs added, was caught by Huish, the fifth wicket having altogether put on 60 in 50 minutes. So poor a resistance did the visitors make that their last six wickets fell in half- an hour for 37. MacLaren showed good defence during the hour and a-quarter he was in, but the batting was terribly weak. Fielder again bowled splendidly, his record for the whole match being eleven wickets for 130. Kent won by an innings and 195 runs. Score and analysis:— K e n t . E. W . Dillon, c Poide­ vin, b Dean .......... 8 O. J.

SUSSEX. Played at Leyton on August 9, 10 and 11. Essex won by ten wickets. The home side began extremely well in this match, and succeeded in holding the lead through­ out. Fane and Douglas, by admirable cricket, put up 132 for the opening partnership in 110 minutes, the former being then out for 68—a fine innings marked by some capital strokes on the off-side. Douglas scored 66 out of 145 in two hours, and hit six 4 s. The fine start was well maintained, Perrin and McGahey adding 54 for the third wicket in 50 minutes, and Turner and Carpenter 89 for the fifth in 65. Turner, who was missed when 12, drove extremely well, and hit eleven 4’s in his 76, for which he batted an hour and forty minutes. At the end of the day Reeves and Buckenham, hitting with great power, put on 84 after the fall of the seventh wicket in half-an-hour without being separated, the score when stumps were drawn being 435 for seven, Reeves not out 73. On Friday morn­ ing the pair remained together until the eighth wicket had realised 163 in 70 minutes. Reeves hit very hard for his 104, and, during the 95 minutes he was in, made two 6’s and fourteen 4’s. W hen he had made 87 he was let off at long-leg by Smith, but made no other mistake. Buckenliam made some huge drives in his 68, which included ten 4’s. The Essex total of 522 took only 380 minutes to compile. Sussex, with such a score against them, could hope for nothing but a draw. They lost Vine at 39 and Killick five later, and, although the brothers Relf put on 29 for the third wicket, the total was only 143 when the $xtli wicket went down. Then, however, followed two most useful stands, Leach adding 85 with Smith for the seventh wicket in three-quarters of an hour, and 58 with W ilder for the eighth in twenty minutes. Leach, hitting ten 4’s, obtained his faultless 77 in 65 minutes. When the innings closed for 313 stumps were drawn for the day. On Saturday Sussex followed-on 209 behind. Vine was in for twenty minutes ere making a run, whilst the younger Relf, after m aking all the first 19 runs, was sent back at that total. Killick was second out at 43 and Vine third at 59, for a patient 15 made in 55 minutes. W ith A. E. Relf and Cox sent back at the same total, half the side were out for 72, in an hour and a-quarter, and an innings’ victory for Essex appeared probable. Simms, however, who was nearly caught before he had made a run, scored 65 out of 98 in 65 minutes, and, in partnership with Smith, added 85 for the sixth wicket in three-quarters of an hour. He hit ten 4’s. Smith made a useful and steady 34, and W ilder some fine drives in his 26, but Essex had no difficulty in winning by ten wickets. Score and analysis :— E sse x . F. L.

Played at Taunton on August 9, 10 and 11. Drawn. On a perfect wicket the home side succeeded in remainiug in the whole of the first day, scoring 446 for seven wickets in 29U minutes. The opening stages of the game were marked by a faultless innings of 96 by Johnson, who made 23 whilst in with Martyn, 43 with Robson, 43 with Braund, and 108 with Lewis in 70 minutes. He hit fifteen 4’s, the majority of them drives, and scored his 96out of 217 in two hours and a-half. Lewis, who cut and drove in capital style and hit fifteen 4’s, scored 107 out of 213 in 135 minutes, but was missed at the wicket when he had made 14. W ith Phillips, he put on 105 for the fifth wicket in 65 minutes. The last-named, hitting 18 4’s, made 109 out of 217 in two hours and a-quarter without a mistake, aDd in partnership with Hardy added 81. On Friday m orning Woods and Lee hit so vigorously that the ninth wicket realised 90 in 35 minutes, the innings eventually closing for 545,made in 315 minutes. W orcestershire lost Pearson off the first ball sent down, whilst with only 28 on the board Bowley also was sent back. Then followed a splendid stand by the brothers Foster, who added 146 for the third wicket in two hours and a-half. H. K . Foster batted 170 minutes for his 58, and hit ten 4’s. His brother, who started slowly, taking 95 minutes to reach 50, hit out well as
