Cricket 1906

A u g . 30, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 373 HAMPSH IRE v. LEICESTERSH IRE. Played at Southampton on Aug. ‘23, 24 & 25. Hampshire won by 6ix wickets. On the first day the visitors lost W ood at 9, whilst Whitehead was sent back at 42, R. T. Crawford at 73, Knight at 106, and K ing at 118, half the wickets then being down. Fortunately Coe was in capital form, and reached 50 out of 97 in 55 minutes, and, in all, scored 98 out of 171 in 130 m inutes-an innings which contained a dozen 4’s, and enabled him to complete his thousand runs for the season. He m ight possibly have been caught and bowled by Wyatt when he had made 31, but gave no other chance. Jayes, who made ten 4’s, and hit boldly, afterwards scored 52 in an hour and a quarter, and eventually the total reached 253, made in 195 minutes. Badcock took five wickets for 84. Hampshire, before play ceased for the day, scored 129 for three wickets, Bowell and Johnston making 84 for the first in 80 minutes, and Barrett and Hill adding 36 together without being separated after the third had gone down at 93. On the Friday the pair remained together until the fourth wicket had realised 77 in just over an hour. Hill and Llewellyn afterwards put on 50 for the fifth wicket, after which the former, who hit nine 4’s, was caught at the wicket for a valuable effort of 65, which took an hour and three- quarters to compile. Sprot and Stone made useful scores, and, when the last wicket fell, Hampshire could claim a lead of 35. In their second innings Leicestershire lost Whitehead first ball, but W ood and Knight atoned somewhat for the disaster by adding 52 for the second wicket, 33 of which came in ten minutes. Half the side, however, were out for 120. W ith only 4 added W ood was caught at slip for a good innings of 55 scored out of 124 in 110 minutes. Vivian Crawford obtained 43 in 35 minutes, making a huge hit off Wyatt over the pavilion, and, Wyatt making two fine catches in an over off his own bowling, the innings closed for 173, Hampshire being left 139 runs to win. Owing to an injury Stone did not keep wicket, and Johnston officiated in his stead. Bowell was out ere a run had been made, and by the end of the day 11 had been scored for the loss of a wicket. On the Saturday the wicket was slow after heavy rain. Johnston was sent back at 32, after which Stone and Llewellyn added 66 for the third wicket. Llewellyn made his 45 in three-quarters of an hour, but Stone played a quiet game, being in two hours and ten minutes ere he reached 50. The last-named, who carried out his bat for 65, gave two chances, but played a very valuable game for his side. Hampshire won by six wickets. Score and analysis:— L e ic estersh ire . First innings.

Although without the services of Spooner, Cuttell, and MacLaren, Lancashire won their final match of the season with the greatest ease. The first day’s play was marked by a fine innings of 110 on the part of Hallows, who, owing to ill-health, has not been seen as often in first-class cricket as could be wished. He scored 110 out of 182 in 185 minutes without a mistake, making a 5 and fourteen 4’s, and hitting well all round the wicket. With Makepeace he made 66 for the first wicket in 70 minutes, with Poidevin 44 for the third, and with Sharp 57 for the fourth. After his dismissal some curious cricket was seen. Higson, who had been in 30 minutes without scoring, made a single as soon as he was joined by Hornby, but during the next forty minutes failed to add to his total, whilst Hornby made 54 off the reel. Then Higson, after being in for 70 minutes, hit another single. Hornby, who drove well and made eleven 4’s, scored 74 out of 84 in an hour. The last wicket put on 52 in 40 minutes, the day’s play ending when the last wicket fell at 355. On the following morning the resumption was delayed for an hour by rain, and, on a treacherous wicket, Derbyshire were twice dismissed, for 148 and 113, and beaten by an innings and 94 runs. In the visitor’s first innings WTright completed his thousand runs for the season, and Cadman scored 53 out of 78 in 80 minutes. When they followed-on,207 behind, no one mastered the bowling, the side being beaten by the large margin stated. Score and analysis L a n c a sh ir e .

R ICHARD DAFT’S “ Nottinghamshire Marl.’ — Particulars apply, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. [A d vt . SUSSEX y. W ARW ICKSH IRE . Played at Hastings on August 23, 24 and 25. Warwickshire won by ten wickets. After having the best of the game throughout, the visitors won easily on the third day by ten wickets. Devey and Kinneir put up 101 for the first wicket in 85 minutes, the latter, who hit six 4’s, then being sent back. When he had made 8 he was almost caught at point by Dwyer, who split his hand so badly that he was unable to participate further in the game. Although Dwyer had bowled five overs, his place was taken by a promising young amateur named Nason, notwithstanding the fact that two seasons ago the Committee of the M.C.O. declared such an action to be an infringement of Law 37. Devey stayed in until 127, after batting for two hours and ten minutes without a mistake ; he hit six 4’s. W hen half the side had been disposed of for 161, Baker and Lilley came together and added 107 for the sixth wicket in an hour and a-half before the former, after batting for 130 minutes, was stumped for a faultless 60. Owing to poor light, stumps were drawn at 5’35, when the score was 285 for six wickets, Lilley not out 61. On Friday Lilley added 14 more, being then caught for a faultless 76, which included seven 4’s : he was in for two hours and a-quarter, and, with Byrne, added 47 for the seventh wicket in 40 minutes. Santall carried out his bat for a bright innings of 30, the innings closing for 366, made in six hours. Cox, who took half-a-dozen wickets for 105 runs, was by far the most successful of the bowlers. Sussex lost Vine at 37, but Latham, although he made only 24, remained in until 74, after which Killick and A. E. Relf added 58 for the third wicket in 35 minutes, the latter making eight 4’s to leg off Quaife. The latter half of the side did very little, the lesult being that Sussex were called upon to follow-on, 178 behind. Quaife, it will be seen, took five wickets for 86; he claimed his last four for only 19. In their second innings the home side quickly lost Latham, Vine, Killick and the elder Keif, the score at the end of the day being 38 for four. On Saturday Simms was caught before another run had been made, whilst Cox, after hitting a couple of 4’s was stumped. Robert Relf and Smith fell to consecutive balls from Hargreave, but Leach, who was missed before he had made a run, then hit that bowler for 22 (a 6, three 4’s, and two 2’s) in an over. The score was only 59 when the eighth wicket fell, but, the last two adding 119 in less than an hour, Warwickshire were sent in with one run to get. Nason, who was twice missed - at the wicket when 10, and in the long-field when 23—scored 53 not out in 70 minutes, and hit eight 4’s, the majority of them fine drives. W ith Leach he put on 48 for "the ninth wicket in 25 minutes, and with Butt 71 for the last in 30. Warwickshire won by ten wickets. Scorc and analysis:— W a r w ic k s h ir e .
