Cricket 1907

244 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 4, 1907. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND v. CAMBRIDGE TJNINERSITY. Played at Eastbourne on June 27, 28, and 29. Gentlemen won by four wickets. This was the last trial match played by Cambridge, and, although their opponents did not appear to be a very strong side on paper, a well-contested game resulted. Baily was caught at the wicket at 22, but Mugliston helped Young to add 44 in thirty-five minutes, whilst Buchanan stayed in whilst 46 were put on in twenty minutes. Upon Payne joining Young some very bright cricket was seen, the pair adding 151 for the fourth wicket in seventy minutes, before Young was bowled at 263, after batting 155 minutes. The outgoing batsmen played well to leg and made many fine cuts and drives. He made no mistake whilst in, and hit sixteen 4’s. Payne, as usual, hit hard, and made a dozen 4’s whilst scoring 84 out of 151 in an hour and ten minutes. He hit well all round the wicket, but was twice missed—when 27 and 80. The last few wickets fell quickly, the innings closing for 314. In a poor light the Gentlemen lost four wickets for 55 before play ceased for the day, Napier being re­ sponsible for three of the dismissals. On the following morning Lawton and Page remained together for forty minutes, and hit so well during that time that their partnership realised 99. After the latter had been bowled Lawton and Imlay added 80 in fifty minutes, the former, after being missed from a simple catch by Baily at square-leg when 80, completed his 100 in eighty minutes : altogether, he made 129 out of 195 in one hundred minutes, hitting nineteen 4’s, the majority of them powerful off- drives and pulls. Weigall afterwards showed good form, and batted an hour without a mistake. The University, 16 behind on the first innings, lost Young at 5 and Palmer at 17, both wickets falling to Craw­ ford, who was bowling splendidly. The third wicket fell at 38, but an improvement was effected by Buchanan and Baily, who added 66 in thirty-five minutes. Payne afterwards again did well, making 41 in fifty minutes, but by the end of the day seven wickets were down for 184. Morcom was soon out on Saturday, and the last three wickets adding only 17, the Gentlemen were set only 186 to win. Craw­ ford took seven wickets for 71 during the innings and thoroughly deserved his success. Day hit up 30 out of 48 in half an hour, and Raphael also did well. All except Page and one of the not outs reached double figures, the Gentlemen ultimately proving successful by four wickets. Score and analysis C am bridge U n iv e r sity .

Played at Manchester on June 27 and 28. Lancashire won by an innings and 102 runs. On a soft and easy wicket on the opening day Lancashire practically placed the result beyond doubt, scoring 337 themselves in four hours and then getting five Somerset wickets down for 33. Makepeace was bowled without a run at 8, but Hornby and Tyldesley quite mastered the bowling and in an hour and a-quarter put on 112 for the second wicket, of which number the latter, who hit six 4’s, claimed 59. Hornby, who was missed by Woods when 16, hit eight 4’s whilst scoring 83 out of 151 in an hour and fifty minutes. MacLaren batted half-an-hour for 14, and the bowling was again collared during the partnership of Sharp and Stanning which realised 53 for the fifth wicket in thirty minutes: in similar time the latter and Harry put on 60 for the sixth, the amateur, who hit eleven 4’s, not being disposed of until he had made 86 out of 153 in an hour and a-half without a mistake of any description. During the innings Woods was unfortunate enoueh to sprain his ank'e. and was in consequence obliged to retire. At the end of the day Dean and Huddleston bowled very well, and dismissed five of the visitors for 33. On Friday Lewis, hitting nine 4’s, made 52 not out in ninety minutes by flawless cricket, and with Whittle added 61 in three-quarters of an hour. No-one else, how­ ever, made much lesistance, and the side were called upon to follow-on 201 in arrears In their second innings they again fared badly, and by lunch time had lost three good wickets against Harry’s bowling for 43. Braund and Woods afterwards added 34 in half-an-hour, but the innings closed for 102, leaving Lancashire victorious by an innings and 102 runs. In the whole match Harry took seven wickets for 37 nins. Score and analysis:— L ancashire A. H.

Yorkshire commenced well by winning the toss after losing it eight times in succession, and showed their appreciation by scoring 515, every man on the side reaching double figures, the lowest innings being 22 by Hunter. Rhodes and Tunnicliffe, scoring at the rate of a run a minute, made 130 together for the opening partnership, but not with­ out some luck, the latter being missed when 17 by King from a hard caught-and-bowled, and again at 36 by Shields at the wicket. Rhodes scored his 112 out of 174 in one hundred and sixty-five minutes, and hit a dozen 4’s. He played a good innings, but was missed by Knight at cover-point when 36 and by Hazlerigg in the slips when 109. The Leicestershire attack appeared,to be very simple, runs coming freely throughout the day. Grimshaw and Hirst added 93 for the fourth wicket, the former during the course of his innings making a splendid hit for six, and the latter hitting nine 4’s during the hour and 40minutes he was in. At the end of the day six wickets were down for 350. On the Friday there was a seriesof very useful partnerships, the most attractive of which was that of Lord Hawke and Wilkinson which resulted in 49 being put on for the last wicket in twenty minutes. Yorkshire scored their 515 in four hundred and twenty-five minutes. Whitehead and Wood put up 50 for the first wicket of the home side and the former and King added 43 for the second. Whitehead, who completed his 50 out of 92 in one hundred and ten minutes, batted altogether just under two hours for his capital 59. Knight made some good strokes in his twenty-three, and Coe and Crawford put on runs quickly and were still together at the end of the day, when the score was 196 for four wickets. On the last morning the pair remained together until their stand for the fifth wicket had lasted seventy minutes and realised 65. Coe took an hour and a-half to score 46, but the amateur played a bright game and made some good drives. The side were eventually called upon to follow-on 226 behind. The feature of their innings was the batting of Coe and Crawford. The former, playing a very laborious, but valuable game, put on 89 for the fourth wicket with Knight and 93 for the fifth with Crawford. The last-named was seen at his very best, and, whilst his partner played a barn-door game, hit so freely that he made his 84 out of 93 in an hour: his chief strokes were a 6 and fourteen 4’s. Coe carried out his bat for 72 : he gave three chances early in his innings, but afterwards settled down to good cricket. When the home side had established a lead, stumps were drawn.
