Cricket 1907

78 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A p r i l 18, 1907. 14 t h MATCH , v. X I. OF H AW K E ’ S BAY . Played at Napier, February 22, 23 and 2i>. M .C.C. woe lay an innings and 80 runs. It was certainly venturesome of Hawke's Bay to take the field with only eleven men, and a heavv defeat was the result. The M C.C. obtained their runs at the rate of 100 an hour, the brightest display being given by Tufnell, whose 85 was the outcome of some free cricket. Torrens played an equally good game, but was slower in com­ parison, whilst Bums also did well. The features of Hawke’s Bay’ s first innings was furnished by Fulton, who made 60 by very sound methods : he hit well and showed strong defence. After following - on 241! behind, the locals gave a more even display, and Lusk played a great innings for his side, cutting and driving well, and being un­ defeated at the end with 65 to his credit.

Except that Hemus, of Auckland, did not play, New Zealand were at full strength. Winning the toss, they went in first, but made a poor start, Keece being out from the fourth ball sent down. Haddon and Law­ rence added 52 for the second wicket, but no mastery was obtained over the bowling until Mahoney went in. Douglas was bowling with such effect that it seemed as though the innings would close for a very poor total, but both Downes and Boxshall assisted Mahoney well, the ninth wieket adding 44 and the tenth 38. The last-named played an admirable innings, and during the two hours and a-half he was in scored 71 out of 152. The M.C.C. made a capital start, Johnson and Fox scoring 151 together for the first wieket. The former, who drove and pulled in fine style, hit fifteen 4’s and gave no chance. Fox played a quieter, but very valuable, game. Against Downes’ slow right-handed deliveries the remaining bats­ men fared badly, the last nine wickets adding but 106. Lawrence and Sale opened the New Zealand second innings together, and not only succeeded in accounting for the 50 arrears without being separated, but took the score to 111 before the first wicket fell. Sale was then bowled for a faultless innings of 66, whilst Lawrence, who gave one chance, remained in until 160. Like the M.C.C., New Zealand collapsed after a brilliant opening, and the visitors were set only 138 to win. Johnson again did well, and the task was accomplished for the loss of only one wicket.
