Cricket 1908

134 C R I C KE T : , A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, M a y 14 , 190 $ iug three figures, hit out freely : in all, he made 161 out of 264 in 205 minutes, but was missed when 9, 71, 79, and 146. He hit a five and seventeen 4’s, the m ajority of them fine strokes to the on. W ith seven wickets down for 277 the innings was declared closed, leaving Hamp­ shire with 411 to win. Whatever chance—and it was a most remote one—the visitors could have had of making the runs was lost during the remaining 80 minutes of the day. Bowell left at 25, White obtained “ a pair,” and Sprot, al­ though he made a few good strokes, scored only 13. Llewellyn failed to repeat his success of the first innings, and, when stumps were drawn, five wickets were down for 60, Mead, wbo went in first, carrying out his bat for 19. There was beautiful weather on the Saturday, and it was to be regretted that the game was not in a more interesting position. W ith only a single, added Stone was out to a fine catch high up in the slips, and five later Badcock was bowled in trying to drive. Mead, after batting patiently for an hour and three-quarters, was eighth out, at 67, for 22, after which the end soon came, the last two wickets falling for a single, and Surrey being left victorious by 342 runs. The last five wipkets fell for 8 runs on the third m orning in 40 minutes. Smith took six wickets for 27 runs, making his record for the match twelve for 62, and Lees always appeared diffi­ cult.

YORKSHIRE v. NORTHAMPTON­ SHIRE. Played at Northampton on May 7 and 8. TOTALS OF 27 AND 15. Yorkshire won by an innings and 314 runs. Northamptonshire will long remember their first m eeting with Yorkshire, seeing that they were dismissed for a double-innings total of 42 and beaten by an innings and 314 runs, after their opponents had declared with a couple of wicket j in land The Yorkshiremen had been i>i able to obtf in m ujh practice in Leeds on account of rain, but their form in this game could not well have been surpassed. Northants had only a 'p o o r side, Pool, Driffield, and East baing away for various reasons, whilst Thompson '(G. J.) was suffering so severely from lumbago that he was unable to bat in either innings. Rhodes and llothery opened in beautiful weather and remained together exactly an hour, during Iwhich time they made 63 for the first wicket. Denton and Rhodes added 33 in half an hour, and then the latter, who had scored 40 out of 96 in an hour and a half, was bowled. The rest of the innings was dwarfed by Denton, who, hitting nine four’s, scored 110 out of 205 in 185 kninutes without a mistake. He did not start Very confidently, but as soon as he had settled down he made some capital drives and leg-hits. W ith W ilkinson he added 91 for the third wicket in 110 minutes, and with Hirst 81 for the fourth in three-q larters of an hour. W ’lkinson should have been sent back when 16, whilst Hirst, al­ though offering no actual chanc, was out to a wild stroke after batting an hour ^for 44. Bates was twice missed in making a dozen, and by the end of the day eight wickets were down for 333. On the Friday no play was possible Until 2.30, but this notwithstanding, the game was al over by 5.40. When Myers and Newstead had added 23 without further loss, Kaye declared the innings closed. Roger Hawtin did well to securc five wickets for 78 luns in such a total. When N onhants went in the wicket was dead but not difficult, but against Hirst and Haigh the batsm ei seemed helpless, and in 35 minutes half their wioket* h id fallen for 12 runs. The Collapse continued so thoroughly that by the end d»f 65 minutes the whole side had been dismissed for 27.' Both Hirst and Faigh got considerable work on the ball, the former taking his first four wickets for 4 runs. When Northants followed on, 329 behind, an even worse display Was given. In 45 minutes five wickets had fallen for 13, Cox batting 40 minutes for his 2 runs. The innings lasted 70 minutes and realised only 15, Hirst and Haigh again bowling un­ changed throughout. There was only one boun­ dary—to leg by Yiais off Hirst—and not a single double-figure score in the two innings of the home side. Hirst took a dozen wickets for 19 k n s —an unprecedented feat in a first-class inter­ county matoh. Score and analysis :— Y orkshire . Rhodes, b R. Hawtin 40 Rothery, b R.

Played at Lord’s on May 6, 7, and 8. Drawn. As stated in the last issue of Cricket, no play was possible on the Wednesday ow ing to the condition of the ground after heavy rain. On the second day a start was made after lunch, the wicket recovering under a hot sun. Through­ out the day the bowlers were so thoroughly masters of the situation that the twenty-one wickets which fell realised only 122 runs. The outfield was very slow, and several hits which would in ordinary circumstances have scored four produced only a single. During the first 45 minutes the County lost half -their wickets for 31 runs, and with such effect did Hearne and Tarrant bowi that the whole side was dis­ missed in 85 minutes, Alletson (10) alone reach­ ing double figures Perrin and Douglas, who was in 40 minutes for 6, added 19 for the M.C.C.’s second wicket—the most productive partnership of the match. Gillingham, by scoring 11, ob­ tained the largest individual score on either side, but the others were to helpless against Hallam and W asj that the innings lasted only an hour and a quarter, and realised but 53. The County’s fielding was very good, and there was no necessity to change the bowling. Iremonger was bowled without a run in his second innings, and shortly after1 ards stumps were drawn. There was more rain during the night, and, in consequence, no play was possible on the third day, the match being abandoned as a draw. Scoie and analjrsia :— N otts . A . O.

By far the most outstanding feature of this m atch was the effective bowling of Leslie, the old Winchester boy, v ho took thirteen wickets for 44 runs. He failed in batting, Mackenzie (fast left-hand) dismissing him in each innings for a single-figure score, but his bowling was so effective that he is bcund to be accorded a trial in the University eleven. Leese batted 70 minutes fcr 49 without a m istrke in W right’s first innings, and with Gay added 52 for the third wioket. Braddell, who made some fine cuts, scored 33 ere being bowled off his pads, and Griscwood and W right put on 99 for the last wicket in 65 minutes. In response to a total of 257, Hurst’s side lost four wickets by the end of the day tor 16 runs, Leslie accounting for three of them—the first two for a single. During the night there was rain, and on the following m orning the bowlers were all but ii resistible. Ti-rner, who made an off-drive for 6, played well for 26, but no one else got double figures, and the innings closed for 64. Leslie, varying his pace and pitch well, took seven
