Cricket 1907

F eb. 28, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 29 Carpenter, Daft, Anderson and others that they have actually been awakened in order to take their innings. A t Lindley, South Africa, on January 23rd, eleven brothers named Dell played the Lindley C.C. and won. O w in g partly to a decrease of £300 iu subscriptions, the Warwickshire County C.C. experienced a loss of £877 12s. 8d. during 1906. A determined effort is to be mad a to secure additional subscribers. I t has been decided that the South Africans, iustead of appearing at Bourne­ mouth on September 2, 3, and 4, shall play a reiuru match at Lord’s cn those days against the M.C.C. and Groand. I t has now bean officially stated that K. S. Kanjitsinbji has had bis cUims to the throne of Nawanagar recognised, so henceforth he will possess the title of Jam of Nawanagar. This probably means that he will not agaiu be seen on the cricket-fields of England, unless he occasionally receives the permission of a sympathetic Government to rtviiit the scenes of his triumphs. 0\VT2vG to the death of Mr. C. W. Alcoek, the C^at with Mr. Edward Hod ,68, a nephew of Mr. John Willea, whic i was t o have appeared tn is month, has had to be held over for the Maich issue. Mr. Hodges ha* related his reminiscences of L is uncle, and thereby has provided the cricket student with much new matter concerning that fa nous player. CR ICKET IN AU STRAL IA . NcAV SOUTH W ALE S v. VICTORIA. Played at Melbourne on December 24, 26, 27 and 28. N .S .W . won by two wickets. The result of this match was practically decided on the first day when the home side were dismissed lor the poor total of 159. Noble and Cotter both bowled well, but, Vaughan (34), who made the highest scorer alone batted with confidence. New South Wales experienced no difficulty in obtaining a substantial lead, thanks chiefly to a couple of productive partnerships: Hopkins and Duff added 67 together for the second wicket and E. L . Waddy and Cotter 63 for the ninth. Armstrong did excellent work with the ball, securing six wickets for 66 in an innings of 313, whilst Hazlitt, aged 17, dis­ missed four good run-getters at a compara­ tively small cos:. In their second innings Victoria lost four wickets before the arrears of 154 were made up, but thereafter Arm­ strong played so great a game toat anything appeared possible whilst he remained in. He did not receive much support, however, from the later men, only Laver (26),'who helped him to add 80 lor tne seventh wicket, render- ing much assistance. When the innings closed ior 339, Armstrong was left to carry out his bat for a faultless 168, which must be regarded as one of his finest achievements, lie hit a 6 and eighteen 4’s, and obtained his runs out of 324 made whilst in in 230 minutes. Left with 186 runs to win—an apparently easy task — New {South Wales lost Duff at 26, but Diamond and Hopkins, by adding 99 together lor the second wicket, seemed to put the result beyond doubt. The later plaj^ers, however, in their anxiety to finish the match before stumps were drawn for the day, attempted to force the game, with the result that Warne obtained half-a- dozen wickets cheaply. In the end the visitors won by two wickets, but there was considerable excitement at the finish. Score and analysis:— V ictoria . First innings. Second nnings. P. A.

VICTORIA v. SOUTH AU STRAL IA . Played at Melbourne on December 29 and 31, January 1 and 2. fcouth Australia woii by 319 runs. Armstrong, who had done so well a week before against New South Wales, did not play in this match, and the Victorian side were further weakened by the absence of Warne. It will be seen that Jennings, who had taken up his residence in Melbourne, assisted the visitois. Somh Austialia lost Pellew and Claxton lor 25 runs, but Gehrs and McRae, by adding 120 for the third wicket, pulled the game round. Still, half the side were out lor 155, and it was owing chiefly to a partnership of 79 for tne sixth wicket by Jennings and Mayne that the total eventually reached 290. In response Victoria lost three men before sturnpa were drawn for 58, and on the following morning were all out lor 199, W right aud O’Connor bowling with great effect. Carroll gave a delightful display, and scored his 64, in which were seven 4’ s, in an hour and a-half, but H oran, who helped him to add 65 lor the fourth w icket, was missed off the first ball he received. Possessed o f a lead of 91, the visitors had scored 217 for lour wickets by the end of the day, their lead then amounting to 308 w ith six wickets in hand. Claxton, hitting freely, made eight 4’s in his 74, for which he was in an hour and a -h a lf: with M cRae he added 84 for the fourth partner­ ship. On the follow ing morning M ciiae and Jennings put on 78 for the fifth wicket, and D olling and M cBeath 95 for the ninth, the consequence being that V ictoria were set 490 to win. D olling scored fast, and hit a dozen 4’s during the 140 minutes he was in, but was missed when 71. The home side, after scoring 148 for three wickets overnight, collapsed for 170, W right taking three wickets for thirteen runs in the m orning. Collins and Saunders were absent, the form e being detained by business, and the latter not thinking that his side would be put out so quickly. Score and analysis:— S outh A ustralia . First innings.
