Cricket 1907

390 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e pt . 5, 1907. made 20 out of 31 by confident cricket, and Killick, at 52, was bowled in trying to drive Dennett. Fry, who then came in, was missed low down in the slips before he had scored, and survived to play out time with Vine, who had been let off when 11 and again when 29. At the end of the day two wickets were down for 97, Vine being not out 29 and Fry 32. On tlie third morning the two not-outs continued their partnership and placed the result beyond doubt. Vine played a very steady game, and Fry completed his 50 out of 00 in 05 minutes ; altogether, the latter made 70 out of 103 in 105 minutes, hitting eleven 4’s. Goldie scored 29 in two overs off Dennett, and batted only 28 minutes for 40, included in which were eight 4’s. He made his runs out of 57 obtained whilst in. Neither Simms nor the younger Relf did much, but Sussex had no difficulty in winning by four wickets. Too much praise could hardly be given to Vine, who carried out his bat for 79, and hit twelve 4’s during the 220 minutes he was in. Score and analysis:— G l OUCESTERSH1RE. First innings.

The home side, being unable to place their full strength in the field, gave a trial to Falconer, a pro­ fessional engaged at Oundle, who bowls right-hand medium-paced. Although play was slow, and some­ what uninteresting, on the opening day, as many as fifteen wickets went down for 270 runs. Thompson was dismissed when he had made only 0, but Driffield kept Cox company whilst 31 were added for the second wicket in 40 minutes. Despite this useful partnership, ihe score was only 53 when the fourth wicket fell. Upon Pool joining Cox a great improvement took place, 37 being added in half-an- hour before the former was obliged to leave the field owing to a blow received on the elbow. Cox made his faultless 57 out of 123 in two hours and a-quarter—a most useful innings—whilst Pool hit five 4’s in making 30. Wells and Buswell added 20 for the ninth wicket in a-quarter of an hour, and the total eventually reached 175. Buckenham, maintaining a fine pace and keeping a good length, took six wickets for 67. Essex lost Douglas and Meston with only 19 scored, and though Perrin and McGahey added 69 in 80 minutes, half the wickets went down for 99. Reeves then joined Perrin and the pair remained together to the close, when the score was 101 for five wickets, Perrin being 41 not out. On the Friday morning the latter was not sent back until the sixth wicket had added 92 in an hour and a-quarter. Perrin batted three hours and ten minutes without a mistake for his 63, whilst Reeves, who was twice missed, hit eight 4’s in scoring 01 out of 90 in 80 minutes. Driffield took four of the last five wickets for 15 runs, and when the innings closed for 198 Essex were only in a majority of 23. The home side, upon going in the second time, speedily met with disaster, Hawtin being caught with only a single scored, and Cox bowled at 7. Preity and Norman added 22, and the former and Thompson 19. Play was more than once interrupted by rain, and the light was at times far from good. Half the wickets were down for 05, and, although Pool and Driffield made useful scores, Essex were set only 92 to win. Buckenham again bowled well, and made his record for the match ten wickets for 117. Essex lost Douglas and Meston for 11, but Perrin and McGahey added the necessary 81 in 05 minutes without being separated, the visitors accordingly winning by eight wickets.

SURREY v. KENT. Played at the Oval on August 29, 30, and 31. Surrey won by an inniDgs and 13 runs. Despite the absence of Knox, Surrey experienced no difficulty in defeating Ker.t, the match ending in their favour early on the afternoon of the third day by an innings and 13 runs. In delightful weather Surrey won the toss and began batting on a perfect wicket. Hobbs was bowled by Blythe at 14, but upon Hayes joining Hayward a good stand was made, the pair, during their two-hours partnership for the second wicket adding 126, of which number Hayes was responsible for 70. The last-named made nine 4’s and gave a very bright display, though ho was somewhat lucky, being missed by Marsham when 4 and at the wicket when 60. Marshal helped Hayward to add 45, and then the latter returned a bail to Humphreys, having batted steadily for 84 out of 185 in 170 minutes; he hit 46 singles and only four 4’8. Crawford followed in, but soon lost the company of Marshal, who played rather more freely than usual and scored his 46 out of 74 obtained whilst iD. Dalmeny did little, and upon his dis­ missal half the side were out for 231 Orawford and Holland added runs at a good pace, and during the 65 minutes they were in partnership put on 123 for the sixth wicket. Crawford reached 50 in 65 minutes, and altogether scored 103 out of 172 in an hour and forty minutes. He drove with great power, hit seventeen 4’s, but, when 5, was missed off a skier near cover-point. At the end of the day seven wickets were down for 361, and on the next morning 65 were added in three-quarters of an hour, Spring hitting eight 4’s in making 40 out of 47. Kent started in very promising style, Woolley and Humphreys making 51 together, and the latter and Seymour 62. Hutchings, however, was bowled at 129 after making o ly 4, after which Humphreys and Day put on 46 together, before both were sent back with consecutive balls at 175. Humphreys played a very steady game, and hit only six 4’s in making 62 out of 175 in two hours and forty minutes. Mason and Marsham added 50 for the seventh wicket, but nobody else did much, and the innings closed for 250. Marshal and I.ees each took four wickets, the former having slightly the better analysis. Following-on, 176 in arrears, Kent lost Humphreys and Huish for a single in an over from Lees before stumps were drawn. On the third morning Kent were in a hopeless position, and the only question was by how great a margin they would experience defeat. Only six were added before Marsham played-on, whilst at 28 Woolley was caught at mid-off and Seymour bowled ofE consecutive balls from Crawford. Seven later Mason was bowled, and at that point six wickets were down for 35. Hutchings and Day stemmed the tide of disaster, and added 52 for the seventh wicket in 35 minutes, and the latter and Blaker 23 for the eighth. Day showed capital form and BJakerhit vigorously, but Kent could not save the innings’ defeat. Score and analysis:— S urrey .
