Cricket 1907

236 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 27, 1907. M.C.C. AND GROUND y . CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Lord’s on June 24, 25 and 26. Cambridge University won by eight wickets. On Monday, daring the three hours play was in progress, the M.C.C. completed an innings for 176, and Cambridge lost two wickets for 8. Wynyard and Marriott added 38 for the second wicket of the M.C.C., after Collins had been run out at 4, whilst Branston and Montgomery put on 63 for the fifth in forty minutes. Branston played steadily for eighty minutes, and Thompson batted three-quarters of an hour for 20. Torrens and Hartley were bowled by Morcom with consecutive balls, and, although May made a few good hits, the innings closed for 176. Morcom, bowling unchanged throughout, took six wickets for 66. In a bad light at the end of the day Thompson bowled Baily and Mugliston in an over with only 8 scored, stumps then being drawn. Tuesday’s play was marked by a splendid innings on the part of Buchanan, who, driving with great power, hit a 5 and thirteen 4’s, and made his 104 out of 153 in seventy-five minutes. When he had made 3 he offered a hard chance of caught and bowled to May, and when 67 might have been caught at cover, but these were small blemishes and detracted little from the merit of the display. With Young he added 129 for the third wicket in an hour, the score being taken from 50 to 100 in fifteen minutes, and Buchanan completing his 50 out of 68 in thirty-five minutes. Young, who hit six 4’s, made his 54 out of 137 in an hour and a-half. Harrison and Payne afterwards added 65 for the fifth wicket in thirty- five minutes, the latter obtaining his runs in three- quarters of an hour. After the interval rain fell heavily, and no further play was possible until a quarter past four. With seven wickets down for 273 play was abandoned for the day. Yesterday Wright and Goodwin remained together until the eighth wicket had put on 43 in 25 minutes. Napier reached double figures andthe innings, after lasting 3 hours, closed for 298, or 122 runs on. The M.C.C. lost Wynyard and Marriott for 23, after which Collins and Branston added 71 in an hour, the latter show­ ing very good form and batting 105 minutes for 56. King also made a useful score, but the University were set only 88 to win. Young was soon out, but no difficulty was made in obtaining the runs, the visitors winning easily by eight wickets.

Played at Leyton on June 24, 25, and 26. Drawn. On the first day play was restricted to one hundred and seventy minutes, during which time Middlesex completed an innings for 161 and Essex scored 21 without loss. The visitors were assisted by Bosan­ quet, who saved the side from a bad collapse by means of a very valuable innings of 73. Middlesex lost Tarrant at 5 and G. W. Beldam at 19, but Warner, playing steadily, remained in whilst 70 were added for the third wicket in fifty-five minutes. Bosanquet, who hit ten 4’s, and made runs all round the wicket, reached 51 out of 79 in seventy minutes, and, in all, scored 73 out of 114 in an hour and three-quarters. His driving was a feature of the display. After an interruption by rain after lunch, the last four wickets fell for 17, the innings, after lasting two hours and a half, closing for 161. On Tuesday, Douglas was first out at 56, after batting seventy minutes. Fane, who was missed when 36, remained in until he had made 46 out of 89 in one hundred and five minutes and was then caught. Perrin batted forty minutes for 16, but Freeman made some big hits and was still in when play was abandoned with the score 157 for three wickets. Oh Wednesday Freeman remained in until the fourth wicket had added 70. McGahey, his partner, played a very patient innings, batting an hour and three-quarters for 37. The brightest play was seen during the association of Buckenham and Russell, which resulted in 90 being put on for the ninth wicket in 75 minutes. The former, who reached his 50 in 65 minutes, hit 13 4’s, and made his 94 in just over an hour and three-quarters. Middlesex, 164 in arrears, commenced their second innings well, Tarrant and Warner making 70 to­ gether ere the latter was sent back. Tarrant, as usual, showed stubborn defence, but his innings of 55 being a very valuable one. Bosanquet failed, but Beldam played well. With no chance of a result being reached, there was not much interest in the cricket. Score and analysis :— M id d l e s e x . First innings. Bosanquet, c b Buckenham 73 Buckenham, b 3 B. J. T.

Played at Catford on June 24, 25, and 26. South Africans won by 2 runs. On Monday play lasted only three hours and a-half, but during that time the County completed an innings for 273, and the visitors, who were at full strength, scored 24 without loss. Kent were not fully represented, neither Mason, Burnup, Dillon, nor Blaker playing. Several disasters befel the home side, the sixth wicket falling at 98, but the later men played so well that the South Africans had the highest total of their tour registered against them. Hardinge, with only a couple scored, fell in Schwarz’s second over, Seymour was bowled at 30, Woolley was caught for a useful 22 at 45 after batting forty minutes, and Hutchings, after receiv­ ing a severe blow on the wrist from Kotze, returned a ball to the bowler at 57. So severe was the injury sustained by the amateur that ho was prevented from taking any further part in the match. Hubble and Humphreys improved matters by adding 41 for the fifth wicket in half-an-hour, but both were sent back at 98, the former being out to a fine catch at long-off and the latter caught at the wicket. Follow­ ing their downfall, Marsham and Huish played a fine game for their side, and by lunch time had taken the total to 121 without further loss. Altogether they put on 44 for the seventh wicket in thirty-five minutes. Even better was the association of Marsham and Fairservice, which, although lasting but twenty-five minutes, resultod in the addition of 58 to the total. The captain played a most praiseworthy game, and scored 46 out of 102 in an hour : he was, however, missed at cover-point by White when he had made 36. Fair­ service was ninth out at 237 for an invaluable effort of 61 made out of 95 in forty-eight minutes without a mistake : he hit a dozen 4’s, driving with much vigour. At the end of the innings Blythe and Fielder put on 36, the total being taken to 273 ere the last wicket fell. So fast had been the run-getting after lunch that 152 were added for four wickets in an hour and a-half. Before stumps were drawn— on account of bad light, although heavy rain set in immediately afterwards—Sherwell and Shalders made 24 in twenty-five minutes without being separated. On Tuesday, on a wicket seriously affected by rain, the South Africans fared badly against Fairservice and Blythe. Shalders and Hathorn both succumbed to Blythe at 25, Sherwell was caught at 40, and Nourse at 51. Ten later, White, Snooke, and Faulkner were all sent back, seven wickets then being down for 61. Sinclair was caught at the wicket at 68 off Fairservice, who had displaced Fielder at 48. Vogler was bowled at 69, and it was owing chiefly to some hitting by Schwarz that the total eventually reached 95, the last wicket adding 26 in fifteen minutes. Following-on 178 in arrears, the visitors had made 10 for the loss of Shalders when rain stopped play for the day. Yesterday the visitors played an admirable gamo on a wicket which assisted the bowlers. Hathorn fell at 23, Nourso at 40, White at 44, and Sherwell at 75, but, undismayed by these disasters, Faulkner and Snooke played confidently and, during the 80 min­ utes they were together, put on 93 for the sixth wicket. Faulkner played a very bright innings and made some good hits, and Sinclair followed his example, helping Snooke to add 110 for the seventh wicket in sixty-five minutes. The consequence was that the County were set 104 to win. The first three wickets fell at 7, but the score was 79 when the fifth went down. Schwarz and White bowled superbly at the finish, and, being well supported by the field, pulled off the match by 2 runs ten minutes before time, it was a splendid victory, but Kent were greatly handicapped in having, Hutchings injured and in losing the services of Fielder owing to a sprained leg.
