Cricket 1907

300 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 25, 1907. DERBYSHIRE y. NORTHAMPTON­ SHIRE. Played at Derby on July 22, 23, and 24. Derbyshire won by 274 runs. On the opening day Derbyshire batted all the time available and, although the wicket was easy, only 245 runs had been made for eight wickets by the time stumps were drawn. Wright and Lawton made 46 for the first wicket in twenty-five minutes, the former then being caught in the slips. Lawton was second out at 80, and afterwards Needham and Cadman added 44 for the third wicket, and Ollivierre and Warren 55 for the sixth. Ollivierre played attractive cricket during the hour he was in and hit eight 4’s, but he was let off in the slips when 31. On Tuesday morning the innings quickly closed for 249, in response to which the visitors commenced so well that Cox and Thompson made 45 for the first wicket, and the former and Pool 50 for the second. Then a collapse set in, the last eight wickets going down for 16 runs, Bracey taking five of them for nine runs and Lawton three for six. Derbyshire, in their second innings, lost three wickets for 65, but so well did Wright and Lawton play that at the end of the day the home side were 369 runs on with half their wickets in hand. Wright, who was missed when 24, batted one hundred and sixty-five minutes for his 98, hit seven 4’s, and helped Lawton to put on 161 for the fourth wicket in ninety minutes. The last named carried out his bat for 99 when stumps were drawn. On the third day the innings was closed when the sixth wicket fell after adding 27 in a quarter of an hour. Lawton canied out his bat for 112, hitting seventeen 4’s during the 115 minutes he was in, and giving only one chance—a difficult one to mid-on when 36. Northamptonshire were left 397 to win, and, after a very fair start, collapsed against Bracey and Cadman for 112, and accordingly suffered defeat by 274 runs. Score and analysis:— D erbyshire .

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. GLOUCESTER. SHIRE. Played at Nottingham on July 22 and 23. Notts won by an innings and 38 runs. The home side were obliged to take the field without Oates, who had injured his hand whilst keeping wicket in a small match. Notts were fortunate to win the toss, as for the greater part of the day the bowlers were handicapped in having to use a greasy ball. In fifty-five minutes Turner and Iremonger made 76 together, both being dismissed at that total. During the luncheon interval there was a heavy shower, and play was not resumed until twenty minutes past three. George Gunn played a fine innings, though he was let off when 29: he hit eight 4’s, the majority of them off-drives, and made his 65 out of 150 obtained whilst in. Branston. after an uncertain start, scored 72 out of 138 in eighty minutes, and hit seven 4’s. When the innings closed for 322, after lasting just over four hours, stumps were drawn for the day. On the second day the visitors gave a disappointing display, being twice disposed of and beaten by an innings and 38 runs. Board and Langdon, who commenced the first innings together, were both disposed of at 57 after batting three-quarters of an hour. Of the subsequent batsmen only Jessop met with any success, and he scored 57 out of 62 in thirty-five minutes, hitting eight 4’s two 3’s, and seven 2’s and obtaining his runs in twenty-two hits. He was missed in the long-field when 5, and when he eventually returned a ball to the bowler supplied Hallam with his hundredth wicket of the year. When the side followed-on, 162 behind, they again fared badly against Hallam and, being disposed of for 101, were beaten by an innings and 38 runs. Hallam took seven wickets for 54 runs, making his record for the match twelve for 143. Score and analysis:— N otts . N. C. V.

Played at Lord’s on July 22 and 23. Lancashire gave up the match. After a heavy storm, the ground was found im­ practicable for cricket until a quarter to three. Spooner was making his first appearance of the season for Lancashire, Makepeace standing down to make room for him. The home side were far from being at full strength, neither Bosanquet, Napier, Hunt, nor G. W. Beldam playing. MacLaren com­ menced to score as soon as he went in, making two 4’s off Mignon’s first over. Spooner showed good form during the short time he was in, but only 26 had been scored when he fell to a catch at mid-off. Tyldesley succeeded him, and, after giving achance of stumping before he had scored, assisted his captain to play out time, when the total had reached 57 for one wicket. Play was once stopped by bad light, but heavy rain caused stumps to be drawn at five o’clock. On Tuesday, although the weather was fine, the wicket had suffered so severely from the heavy rain that no play was possible. The decision to give up all idea of cricket for the day greatly dissatisfied the would-be spectators, who assembled in front of the pavilion and gave voice to their supposed grievance. They trampled over the pitch, and the playing area was at last cleared by the police, but when it was understood that they would receive a pass-in for Wednesday’s play they dispersed quietly. After the crowd had departed, MacLaren declined to continue the match on the next day owing to the state of the wicket. (See “ At the Sign of the Wicket.”) Score and analysis L ancashire . A.
