Cricket 1907

206 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 13, 1907. SOMERSET y. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bath on June 10 and 11. Worcestershire won by six wickets. Some curious cricket marked the opening of this match. Somerset, after a capital start, being all out in two hours and a-half for 176. Braund and Mr. Palairet made 62 together for the first wicket by very bright cricket, and the former and Lewis afterwards added 43 for the second, the hundred thus going up with only one man out. At lunch, however, six wickets were down for 130, and three runs later Braund, after batting a couple of hours, was out lbw for a faultless innings of 60, which was made up of excellent strokes all round the wicket. Newton and Whittle added 37 together for the ninth partnership, but the innings closed for 176. Burrows bowled admirably, claiming seven of the wickets for 40 runs, and taking the last five at a cost to himself of only a dozen. Worcestershire began well, Mr. H. K. Foster and Bowley making 43 together ere the latter was bowled. The captain made many excellent drives on both sides of the wicket, and, giving no chance, scored 61 out of 120 in an hour and a-half. At the close of the day’s play, the visitors with half their wickets down, were 35 runs behind. On the following morning the last five wickets increased the score by 62, Worcestershire thus establishing a lead of 27. Braund during the innings took eight wickets for 75 runs, bowling in a manner quite reminiscent of his best days. Somerset, in their second innings, lost Palairet without a run, Lewis left at 15, and Braund was sent back as soon as the arrears had been cleared off. Deane made 33 byattractive cricket, and, although one or two others reached double figures, the innings closed for 116. Worcestershire, left 00 to win, lost Bowley to the first ball ever delivered for Somerset by Whittle, who also disposed of H. K. Foster before a run had been made off him. R. E. Foster was sent back by the same bowler at 37, being the fourth out, but no further disaster occurred, Arnold and Burns making the rest of the runs without being separated.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY V. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. Played at Cambridge on June 10 and 11. The Gentlemen won by nine wickets. This was the last home fixture of the Cambridge Eleven, who were quite outplayed on the opening day, the Gentlemen, when play ended for the day, having a lead of 22 runs with half their wickets in hand. Payne left in Douglas’ first over, and so poorly did his immediate successors do that at the end of the first hour six wickets were down for 25. Follow­ ing his collapse, however, came a recovery, Wright taking part in a series of useful partnerships ; with Harrison he added 26, with Goodwin 41, and with Lyttelton 25. Wright hit three 4’s and batted one hundred minutes for his invaluable 47. Upon the Gentlemen going in Fane was seen to advantage, scoring 56 without a mistake in just under a couple of hours. With Douglas he made 53 for the first wicket, and with R. T. Crawford added 69 for the third. At the close of the day the score was 146 for five wickets. On Tuesday Elderton and Raphael put on 41 together, and, although no one else obtained double figures, the visitors established a lead of 84on the innings. The Cambridge fielding was poor, and Morcom’s absence was much felt. In their second innings the University gave an improved display. After two wickets had fallen for 19, Young and Buchanan added 45, and Harrison, making eight 4’s and hitting well all round the wicket, scoi*ed65 in an hour and a half. The visitors, set 121 to win, made the runs for the loss of a single wicket, Fane and Douglas, who played attractive cricket, making 119 together for the opening partnership.

LEICESTERSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Leicester on June 10 and 11. Kent won by eight wickets. Blythe re-appeared in the Kent Eleven, but the home side were without Vivian Crawford, who was indisposed. Leicestershire, although batting first on an easy wicket, gave an exceedingly poor display and were all disposed of in an hour and three-quar­ ters for the meagre score of 66. Whitehead and Wood gave the side a very fair start by putting up 31 for the first wicket. The amateur played a stubborn game, not making a run until he had been in 25min­ utes, whilst Whitehead took an hour to score 23. Odell made a few good strokes, but none of the other players offered any resistance. Blythe, after being hit for 16 ere taking a wicket, obtained a good average, and with Fielder bowled unchanged through the innings. The Kent men also found run-getting a difficult matter, and had it not been for Woolley a very small score would have resulted. Hardinge and Seymour left at 11, Hutchings and Day at 14, and Humphreys at 33, the collapse being stayed when Marsham joined Woolley, the pair adding 26 together. Still, the score was only 59 when the sixth wicket fell, but Huish, who was missed when five, and carried out his bat for 18, offered a firm defence, and with Woolley (54 not out) put on 33 without further loss in the last twenty minutes of the day. When play ceased—at four o'clock—Kent, with four wickets in hand, were 26 runs on. On Tuesday the last four wickets added 35, Huish carrying out his bat for 33, and Woolley, after hitting a 5 and six 4’s, being bowled for 58 made out of 97 in S5 minutes. In their second innings Leicester­ shire fared badly against Fairservice and Blythe. Knight was out ere a run had been made and White­ head caught at slip at 6. King and Wood then indulged in the only partnership of the innings, adding 35 in 40 minutes. But half the side were out for 55. King made 10 in an over off Blythe, and, altogether, batted 85 minutes for 34. Hazle- rigg, who made the second highest score on the side, was twice missed and might have been stumped. Kent, left 41 to win, made the runs in 25 minutes for the loss of a couple of wickets. Woolley, hitting six 4’s, made 29 out of 39 obtained whilst in. Score and analysis :— L eicestershire .
