Cricket 1907

342 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 15, 1907. WARWICKSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on August 8 , 9, and 10. Drawn. On the first two days the cricket seen in this match was very dull, and, although it was brighter on Saturday, it lacked interest owing to the know­ ledge that a draw was certain. On the first day the first wicket realised 71, and, as the result of some very even batting, 330 were made for nine wickets, but several catches were dropped. On Friday the innings closed for 343, and in reply Yorkshire made 359 for half their wickets during the rest of the day. The first wicket realised 77 in eighty-five minutes, and the second 119in similar time. Tunnicliffe made 50in an hour and three-quarters, 100 in three hours, and, in all, 141 out of 295 in two hundred and fifty-five minutes. He hit sixteen 4’s, but was twice let off when 124. On the last day Haigh was absent, owing to tonsilitis, but Yorkshire nevertheless obtained a lead of 64 on the innings. When the home side went in the second time, Denton kept wicket for Dolphin, who had hurt his thumb. Fishwick and Baker again gave their side a good start, making 72 to­ gether. Quaife and Lilley also did well, but York­ shire had not time to make the 197 set them to win after Warwickshire had declared at 260 for four wickets. Quaife kept wicket in the second innings of Yorkshire. Score and analysis :— W arw ickshire . First innings. Second innings. T. S. Fishwick, lbw, b Haigh 36 runout .......... Baker (C.

On the opening day Sussex, who were without Fry, lost Young, Vine, and Killick for 19. Nason then remained with Robert Relf whilst 55 were added, the latter following up his Canterbury success by making 68 in one hundred and ten minutes ; he cut and drove well and hit a 5 and seven 4’s. Oox and Dwyer, who was missed when 4, added 60 in half an hour; the former, who played well to leg, carried out his bat for 56 (made in seventy-five minutes), when the innings closed for 211. Buckenham took seven wickets for 99 runs anl thoroughly deserved his uccess. Essex lost Douglas without a run, but Fane and Perrin put on 42 together, and the latter and McGahey 26. Perrin batted one hundred minutes for 34, and when stumps were drawn for the day half the wickets were down for 102. On the following morning Reeves, hitting eight 4’s and making some fine pulls, scored 53 out of 82 in an hour, but Essex were 41 behind on the first innings. In the second innings of Sussex Vine and Young made 32 together for the first wicket, and the former and Robert Relf 23 for the second. The last-named played a very slow game, taking seventy minutes to score five singles. Killick played a very sound innings of 77, in which were seven 4’s, but he offered a chance of stumping when 35. The Essex fielding during the innings was far from good, many catches being missed and the ground-work often at fault. By the end of the day Essex had scored 42 for tho loss of Douglas’ wicket towards the 236 required to win. On Saturday a great struggle took place, but, thanks to Fane and Buckenham, Essex managed to pull through by a wicket. Fane scored 86 out of 169 in 180 minutes, and hit nine 4’s ; with Perrin he put on 84 and with Meston 36. Buckenham after­ wards played a very useful and watchful game, and carried out his bat for 37. When the last man went in five runs were still required to win. Score and analysis:— S ussex .

Wood, owing to a poisoned hand, was unable to assist the home side, but the visitors were as greatly handicapped by the absence of Lawton. Ollivierre was out without a run, and, although Morton, Carlin, and Wright made useful scores, seven wickets were down for 117. Then Cadman and Warren added 48 together in 50 minutes, and in the end a total of 195 was recorded. In a poor light at the end of the day Knight and Coe put on 46 after Whitehead had been caught at 15, and when stumps were drawn the total was 62 for two wickets. On Friday rain delayed the resumption until one o’clock. Hazlerigg was at the wicket half an-hour for a single, whilst Knight batted 100minutes for his valuable 44. King showed a glimpse of his old form in making 57, and a lead of 21 on the innings was secured. By the time stumps were drawn Derbyshire had lost four wickets in their second innings for 62, and it was owing chiefly to a partnership of 74 for the sixth wicket in an hour on the next morning by Cadman and Humphries that Leicestershire were set as many as 171 to win. Whitehead again failed to reach double figures, but Knight played splendidly, and won the game for his side. His fine form in both innings was very welcome. Score and analysis: — D erbyshire .

For their total of 264, Somerset were indebted chiefly to Palairet and Robson. The former, driving well and hitting ten 4’s, made his 78 out of 142 in an hour and three-quarters, whilst Robson, who hit a dozen 4’s, batted an hour and a-quarter for his fault­ less 71. When Hampshire went in Mead gave a very
