Cricket 1907

M a t 9, 1 9 0?. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 119 HAMPSHIRE v. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. Played at Southampton on May 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. Many showers fell on the first day and made play impossible before twenty-five minutes to four. Hampshire, having won the toss, then went in and, thanks in no small measure to the leniency of the fielding side, made a very useful start. Hill and Bowell made 66 together for the first wicket, but the former was missed by Hardy in the slips when 8 and the latter by Crosse at mid- off when 10. Llewellyn helped to add 37 for the second partnership in half-an-hour, but Mead, in endeavouring to place to leg, was caught without scoring. At the close Hamp­ shire had made 113 for three wickets in just under two hours and a-half, Hill, who had played a fine game for his side and hit well all round the wicket, carrying out his bat for 64. On the second day rain again interfered so much with the play that only 119 runs were made and five wickets lowered. Hill added 9 to his over-night score, and altogeth( r batted for three hours for his invaluable innings of 73 ; he hit ten 4’s, the majority of them drives. After his departure, Sprot and Stone, who was strong on the leg-.-ide, showed good cricket, and added 34 together for the sixth wicket. When play ceased for the day Hampshire had made 232 for eight wickets, which was a good score in the circumstances. The innings was declared closed first thing the following morning, but as only twenty minutes’ play was possible before lunch, it never appeared likely that a definite result would be reached. The best cricket on the Northants’ side was shown by Pool, who was in for two hours and a-quarter, and in partnership with Thompson increased the score by 67 for the fourth wicket. East and Buswell afterwards added 40 together, but the innings closed for 193, or 39 behind. It being then five-thirty, stumps were drawn. Score and analysis :— H am pshire . A. J. L.

CAM BR IDGE SEN IORS ’ MATCH . M b . A. D. IMLAY’S SIDE v. M r . F. H. MUGLISTON’S SIDE. Played at Cambridge on May 2, 3 and 4. Mr. F. H. Mugliston’s Side won by two wickets. Owing to rain, no play was possible on the opening day. At a-quarter to one it was decided that, in the event of the weather clearing, a start should be made at four o’clock, but, at a-quarter to that hour, when a wicket was being marked out, the rain came on again and quickly put the possibility of play for the day out of the question. On the second morning the wicket favoured the bowlers considerably, and during the day twenty wickets fell for 271 runs. B. Meakin, an old Cliftonian, obtained six wickets for 44 with his slow leg-breaks, at one time dis­ missing three men in a couple of overs at a cost to himself of only a single. On Saturday bowlers were again busy on the soft ground, and a capital finish was seen. Mugliston’s side were set 135 to win, and for some time it appeared as though the task would prove too great. Goodwin and Mugliston, however, hit out with much effect, and enabled their side to pull through by a couple of wickets. Score and analysis:— M r . A. D. I mlay ’ s _S ide .

NOTTINGHAM­ SHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. No play was possible on either of the first two days owing to constant showers and the saturated condition of the ground. On Friday, however, it was found possible to make a start at eleven o’clock, the ground having dried well before a westerly wind. A. P. Day played confident cricket when the M.C.C. went in, and such useful assistance did he receive from Collins, that the pair made 43 for the first wicket. Both were dismissed at that total, and the third wicket fell at 54. Wass was then put on, the consequence being that the last seven wickets added only 20 runs, the innings closing for 74. Wass, who kept a fine length and came in at a great paee from leg, obtained six wickets for 3 runs in 28 balls. The County also made a good start, and at lunch time had made 42 for the loss of Iremonger’s wicket. Turner, an old Rep- tonian, played a skilful game, hitting to leg and driving well: he made 32 out of 64 in an hour. Later, Jones and Hardstaff put on 39 for the fifth wicket in twenty minutes, 30 at one period being added in ten. The profes­ sional played a confident game, and showed strong defence: he batted an hour and a quarter for his 35, and made his runs out of 96 obtained whilst in. When the M.C.C. had made 17 without loss in their second innings, rain descended and caused the stumps to be drawn, and the match abandoned. Score and analysis :— M.C.C. and G round . L. P.
