Cricket 1906

A ug . 23, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 357 NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. Played at Nottingham on August 16,17 & 18. R E M A R K A B L E W IC K E T -K E E P IN G . Nottinghamshire won by five wickets. Although Douglas played a capital innings of 30, and Buxton and Warner put on 61 for the third wicket in 55 minutes, half the side of the visitors were out for 132. Trott played a sound and steady innings, taking 100 minutes in which to score 55, and hitting a 5 and six 4’s. W ith Harrison he put on 45 for the sixth wicket in 40 minutes. The last five wickets fell to Hallam for 8 runs in 54 balls, each, curiously enough, being caught by Oates, who, in the entire innings, made six catches at the wicket. The innings, after lasting 215 minutes, closed for 210. In reply, Notts made 89 for three wickets before stumps were drawn. Jones, who was third out, scored 38 out of 63 in 40 minutes, hitting well all round, after which Hardstaff and Payton added 26 together without being parted. On Friday, on a wicket which rendered aid to the bowlers, the last seven men were disposed of in 65 minutes for 57 by Tarrant and Mignon, leaving the visitors with an advantage of 61. Tarrant bowled splendidly, and took half the wickets for 36. Before Middlesex could commence their second innings a shower took place, and eased the wicket considerably. Douglas and Tarrant were sent back for 44, but Buxton, who made seven 4’s, and played very free cricket, helped Warner to put on 102 for the third wicket in 65 minutes. Warner scored 60 out of 156 in two hours —a steady and valuable innings. Murrell and Harrison, who made useful scores, were both let off ere making a run. Napier reached double figures, and the total realised 219. During the innings Oates caught three at the wicket and stumped one, taking ten wickets in the match—a feat which had not been performed in a first-class match for twenty- eight years. The home side, set 284 to win, made 7 runs for the loss of James ere stumps were drawn. On Saturday Notts won by five wickets, Day and Oates adding 45 for the second wicket in 40 minutes, Hardstaff and Iremonger 63 for the fourth in 55, and the latter and Jones 117 for the fifth in 90. Ire­ monger, who was let off before he made a run, hit a dozen 4’s, whilst Jones hit seven. Of the thirty-five wickets which fell in the match, the wicket-keeper claimed thirteen.

YORKSHIRE v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Harrogate onAugust 16, 17 and 18. Yorkshire won by an inniD gs and 91 runs. Rain permitted only three hours’ play taking place on the opening day, and only 70 minutes on the second, but the home side nevertheless found time in which to win by an innings. The visitors could do little against Hirst and Myers, six wickets being down before lunch for 39, and the ninth falling at 52. Baker and Hargreave added 27 for the last, the total realising 79, made in 150 minutes. When Hirst bowled Santall one of the bails was sent 35 yards- In an hour before stumps were drawn Yorkshire scored 101 for the loss of Rhodes (who was bowled at 2), Tunnicliffe carrying out his bat for 43 and Denton for 52. On Friday no play could take place before ten minutes past three. The second wicket put on 138 in an hour and three- quarters before Tunnicliffe, who hit a 6 and nine 4’s, was clean bowled. Three runs later — at 143 — Rotheiy also was disposed of, after which Denton and Hirst remained together lo the close, when 164 had been made for three wickets. On the following morning Denton, who had batted on each of the three days, was caught by Devey whilst trying to drive when he had made 95. He hit eleven 4’s during the two hours and a-half he was at the wicket. Ilirst afterwards hit finely, scoring a dozen 4’ b in his 68 made out of 92 in an hour. When 255 had been made for eight wickets the innings was declared closed, Warwickshire being left 176 to get to save the innings’ defeat. At no time did the visitors appear likely to succeed in obtaining that number. Kinneir and Charlesworth fell to fine catches in one over, and, although Devey hit 27 out of 48 in 55 minutes, the score was only 63 when the fifth wicket fell. After lunch practically no resistance was made, the innings closing for 85, and Yorkshire being left winners by an innings and 91 runs. Rhodes and Haigh bowled with great effect.

Lancashire won by six wickets After losing the toss six times in succession Surrey gained choice of innings, and went in first on a slow wicket. As the day wore on the bowlers received more assistance from the ground, and, by the time stumps were drawn, sixteen wickets had fallen for 251. By slow and cautious cricket Hayward and H obbs put up 27 for the first wicket in fifty minutes, after which Hayes assisted the former in adding 57 for the second in fortv minutes. Bayes showed by far the brightest cricket of the day, his off-driving being especially free. Goatly made a useful, though somewhat lucky, 22. W hen he had scored 51, and the total had reached 128, Hayward was out to a good catch in the slips, after batting for 115 minutes. He showed very strong defence, and hit a 5 and five 4’s. W ithout any addition to the score, Crawford also was sent back, and half the wickets were then down. Lord Dalmeny made some good hits, and was sixth out at 165, at which total Lees also was disposed of. Strudwick and Knox quickly added 17, the innings eventually realising 184. Sharp and Cuttell both bowled well, the former really performing better than his analysis would suggest. Lancashire lost Mac- Laren at 10and Spooner at 14,and,although Tyldesley made 21 out of 35 in 25 minutes, six wickets were down for 52 when Findlay joined Makepeace, and, without further disaster, took the score to 67, when play stopped for the day. A t this point Surrey pos­ sessed a very great advantage indeed, and appeared to have another victory in prospect. On Friday, owing to showers, which made the wicket easier, no play was possible prior to 12.10. W ith the score advanced to 81, Findlay was out, the seventh wicket having realised 29. The eighth put on 18, after which Hornby and Cuttell were sent back in one over. Makepeace was last out for a faultless and praise­ worthy innings of 23, which took an hour and a-half to compile. Knox and Lees shared the wickets, the latter taking six for 53. Possessed of a lead of 82, Surrey had to bat upon a tricky wicket when they went in the second time. W ith only four runs scored H obbs was caught at the wicket, whilst at 27 Hay­ ward, after being in forty minutes for 8, met with a similar fate. Hayes played a vigorous game, scoring 32 out of 49 in 45 minutes, and hitting six 4’s. Seven runs later Goatly was caught, whilst at 78 Holland was dismissed after being in half-an-hour for four. Crawford, who made some fine hits, and Dalmeny both fell to good catches, seven wickets then being down for 90. At this point Strudwick went in and showed capital form, adding 27 for the eighth wicket with Lees, and 18 for the last with Rushby. He scored 32 out of 53 in 40 minutes, and hit seven 4’s, playing a really valuable innings. The total reached only 143, leaving Lancashire 226 to get to win. Cuttell took three wickets in 17 overs for 31 runs, his record for the whole match being seven for 66. The innings was a disappointment, only Hayes Crawford and Strudwick making an effort to hit. When the visitors went in for the second time Spooner was missed at slip by Hayes off the very first ball sent down—by Lees- and there can be no doubt that the miss practically cost Surrey the match. Makepeace, before being yorked, helped to put on 31 for the first wicket in twenty minutes. Tyldesley then joined Spooner, and together they succeeded in remaining together until the end of the day, when the score was 87 for one. Spooner, when he had made 32, was bowled by a no-ball from Knox which he attempted to play: when stumps were drawn he had made 40 and Tyldesley 32. On the following morning the pair remained together until the second wicket had realised 78 in 65 minutes, Tjddesley being sent back at 109 by a splendid left-handed catch at mid-off. Poidevin then came in, and, after being missed when six by Rushby at mid-off, survived to assist Spooner in adding 94 for the third wicket in an hour and a-quarter. The last named, who hit a dozen 4’s, scored his 92 out of 203 in 170 minutes, and, apart from the chance given off the first ball he received, made no mistake. Poidevin was caught by Strudwick without any addition to the total after which Sharp and MacLaren quickly hit off the re­ maining 23, Lancashire winning by six wickets. During the innings Crawford, who had previously obtained his 1,000 runs, took his one hundredth wicket of the season. Lancashire worked hard for their victory, which they well deserved, and which caused Surrey to be deposed from the first place in the Championship Table, and to be ranked below Yorkshire and Kent.
