Cricket 1907

A ug . 29, 1907. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF 1HE GAME. 37 S T H E SOUTH AFR ICANS. 26 th M atch . - v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bristol on August 22 and 23. South Africans won by an innings and 38 runs. Except that Tancred took the place of Shalders, the South Africans were the same side as played against England in the earlier part of the week. The County made a splendid start, Board and Langdon scoring 95 together in an hour for the first wicket, this being the most productive first-wicket partner­ ship against the visitors during their tour. Langdon, who made six 4’s, hit to leg and cut in capital style, and made his 54 without a mistake. Luce did little, and Champain was third out at 124. At lunch the total was 102 without further loss, but after the adjourn­ ment the remaining seven wickets went down for 21 in forty minutes, Schwarz taking five of them for eleven. Board, who made only four 4’s, batted a couple of hours for 69 and was fourth out at 160. Jessop played a rather sedate innings of 20, taking three-quarters of an hour to make his runs, and, no one else obtaining double figures, the innings closed for 1S3. The South Africans lost Sinclair and S. J. Snooke for 19, after which Tancred and Nourse took the score to 59 when the latter was run out through his partner refusing to respond to a call. Tancred, fourth out at 70, batted seventy minutes for 28, whilst in the last fifty minutes of the day Faulkner and White added 70 for the fifth wicket, the total when play ceased being 151 for five. On the Friday morning the visitors played very bright cricket, their last five wickets adding 221 in an hour and three-quarters. Hathom and Vogler were soon out, the seventh wicket falling at 171, but a determined stand was made when Schwarz joined White, the pair adding 150 for the eighth wicket in ninety-three minutes. Schwarz hit a dozen 4’s, the majority of them fine drives, but when 43 was missed by Cham­ pain at long-off. When the innings closed for 372, White was left to carry out his bat for 102 made out of 290in one hundred and sixty minutes—the highest score hit for the side during the tour. He made many fine off-drives and cut well, and hit as many as twenty-four 4’s. When he had made 125 he was missed by Roberts off his own bowling, and thirty- five later was let off at mid-off by Ford. When the County went in the second time, 189in arrears, they lost their first four wickets in half-an-hour for 20. Langdon again played a great game for his side, but received poor support, though Huggins remained in whilst 37 were added and Jessop whilst 31 were put on. Langdon hit eight 4’s and carried his bat right through the innings : he was twice missed—by S. J. Snooke at slip when 2, and at the wicket when 58. The South Africans won by an innings and 38 runs.

Played at Worcester on August 22. 23, & 24. Drawn. For Surrey, Hayward, Crawford, and Spring appeared in place of May, Smith, and Carver, whilst in the absence of K. E. Foster Worcestershire gave a trial to II. G. Bache, aged 16, a student at. King Edward’s School, Birmingham. Everything on the opening day was dwarfed by the partnership of 219 by Hayward and Hobbs for the first wicket of Surrey. Hobbs was the first to leave, being caught on the boundary when he had made 110 of the 219 in 170 minutes; he hit eleven 4’s, and was twice missed—when 42 by Burrows off his own bowling, and when 102 by Cuffe at mid-on off the same bowler. Hayward was second out, at 280, for a faultless 127, made in 205 minutes: he also made eleven 4’s. Although the pair gave their side a splendid start, nine wickets were down for 398 at the end of the day. There was rain during the night, and bowlers were helped by the state of the ground on the Second morning. The Surrey total was taken to 413 ere the la«*t wicket fell, and things looked serious for the home side when Pearson was sent back at 6, and Arnold at 28. The brothers Foster then came together, and, during a stand of 100 minutes, put on 78 for the third wicket. “ G. N .” was decidedly lucky, bu t“ H. K.” made his 137 out of 250 in three hours and a-half without a mistake of any kind; he hit a 6 and thirteen 4’s. Cuft'e and Hunt made serviceable scores, but Surrey could claim a lead of 119 on the innings. Strudwick was seen to great advantage behind the wicket, whilst Lees bowled splendidly. At the end of the day Baker and Marshal made 10 together without being separated, and soon after play was resumed on the Saturday G. N. Foster kept wicket for Straw, who was injured by a throw-in from Burrows, the ball striking his foot and rebounding on to his face. Marshal and Baker, took the total to 97 in 95 minutes before the latter was bowled for a patient innings of 35. The run-getting was at times very slow, and several wickets fell in an endeavour to force the game. Marshal, who showed capital form on the off-side, batted Uvo hours and a-half without making a misiake of any kind for his fi-st three- figure score for Surrey, and also completed his thousand runs for the season. WTith six wickets down for 187, the innings was declared closed, Worcestershire being left 307 to win. Pearson fell at 16, Arnold at 24, and H. K. Foster at 46 G. N. Foster played a very stubborn game, and when tho stumps were drawn for the last time five wickets had fallen for 103. Score and analysis: S urrey . First innings. Second innings. Hayward, c G. N.

Notts won by an innings and 131 runs. In their last county fixture of the season, Notting­ hamshire covcred themselves with glory, and gained a most decisive victory by an innings and 131 runs. On the opening day the bowlers were for some time assisted by the state of the ground, and the first four wickets of the visitors went down in an hour for 32. The association of Jones and Hardstaff, how­ ever, improved matters greatly, the pair adding 74 for the fifth wicket during the hour and five minutes they were together. After the latter had been bowled, Alletson, playing a good, defensive game, kept his captain company for fifty minutes what time the sixth wicket yielded 72. Jones played splendidly, being seen at his best. Driving and cutting with much power and precision once he had settled down, he hit a dozen 4’s, and made his 94 out of 173 in one hundred and forty-five minutes. Oates and Hallam, after his departure, put on 44 for the ninth wicket in half-an-hour, and the innings realised 250—a very good total considering the state of the ground. Lancashire lost Spooner at 15, but by the end of the day had taken the total to 20 without further loss. During the night there was some heavy rain, and when play was resumed on the following morning the batsmen were placed at a disadvantage. MacLaren made 20 of the first 37 and Tyldesley scored a useful 18, but of the others only Harry (11) reached double figures. Wass and Hallam carried all before them, and succeeded in getting down the nine outstanding wickets for 50. In the follow-on, an even more disastrous state of things was seen, the first four wickets going down for 0, and the whole side being out for 37. So irresistible wero Hallam and Wass that during the second day they got down nineteen wickets for 93 runs. The Notts fielding was very keen. Score aud analysis:— N otts .
