Cricket 1908

CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 2 1 , 1908 . ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leyton on May 14, 15 and 16. Drawn. On Thursday play was lim ited to 100 minutes, during which time the home side scored 97 for two wickets. Fane, who made some good strokes, remained with Douglas whilst 36 were scored for the first wicket, after which the latter and Perrin added 61 for the second. Douglas, who had played a slow game, was then caught for 35 made out of 97 in 100 minutes, Perrin being 37 not out. There was no cricket, owing to rain, on Friday, but on Saturday some very interesting play was seen. McGahev accompanicd Perrin to tho wicket, and the pair gave a very fine display of forcing cricket. McGabey, who punished King for 18 (four 4’s and a 2) in an over, claimed 52 of the 91 added in 55 minutes for the third w icket; he hit seven 4’s and was caught in the slips. Gillingham then remained with Perrin until the latter had reached three figures, when the innings was declared closed with three wickets down for 232. Perrin, hitting twelve 4’s, a 3. and thirteen 2’s, made 101 out of 196 in 145 minutes, but was twice missed—by Crawford (a hard chance) in the slips when 37, and by Coe in the long-field when 73. Wood and Knight made 42 for the first wickct of Leicester­ shire, and the former and Whiteside 17for the second. Wood made 30 of the first 59 runs scored, and was then caught low down at the wicket. King and Whiteside added a very welcome 56 for the third wicket during the 55 minutes they were together, so that when the third wicket fell the total had been taken to 115. Then came a collapse, the fifth wicket falling at 128 and the whole side being out for 153. Buckenham was very effective at the close, and took six wickets for 33 runs. Essex fared miserably in their second innings, losing seven wickets for 33 runs on the damaged pitch against Odell, who took five wickets for ten runs,and Coe, who delivered two balls for a wicket. Stumps were then drawn.Score and analysis:— E ssex . First innings. Second innings. F. L. Fane, b King...........22 J. W. H. T.

There was no play on the firct day on account of rain, and for the same reason it wa3 found possible to play for only 75 minutes on the second. There were cold winds and several heavy showers on the Friday, but it was found possible to make a start at twenty minutes past eleven. Bowring and Teer- dale opened on a fairly easy wicket, and runs came readily enough, especially from the former, but when 43 had been made rain caused an adjournment of half-an-hour. W ith 3 added Bowring, who had given a bright display, was bowled off his pads, and shortly afterwards the half-century went up 65 minutes from the start. After luncheon only one ball had been bowled when rain again came down and caused an interruption. There were several further showers, and eventually play was abandoned with one wicket down for 61, Teesdale being 19 not out and W right 11 not out. Played was resumed on a soft wicket on Saturday, when Harry commenced by fending down eight consecutive maiden overs. The feature of the innings was the stand for the eighth wicket by Brandt and Robinson, but Salter aad Leese also did well, and the total reached 153— a very fair score on the difficult wicket. Dean took half the wickets for 27 runs, his analysis for the morning being five for 17. The Lancashire men hit out in an attempt to force the game, but the experi­ ment was not very successful, the University being left with a lead of 22 on the innings. Gilbert, who was helped by the wicket, bowled with great effect, his seven wickets costing a fraction under ten runs each. A t the end of the day Oxford made 50 for two wickets before stumps were drawn. Score and analysis:— O xfo rd U n iv e r sity . T. Bowring, b Huddle­ ston ...........................29 T. H.

Only 29 runs were obtained in last Saturday’s com] pleted match between Beeston Royds (14) and North’ East Leeds (15 for four wickets). Playing for Park School v. Pelly Memorial School, on Saturday, S. Puddifoot scored 124 out of 214, and took eight wickets for 12 runs in the first innings and four for 15 in the second. Beckenham (78 and 35) beat The Mote (32 and 80) by one run at Beckenham, on Saturday. For the home side H. Z. Baker took eleven wickets for 37 runs and J. K. Stenning seven for 14. “ Mr. P. F. Warner’s second innings at Lord’s for the club against Yorkshire was an extraordinarily fine piece of batting. We shall be fortunate if we see any­ thing to equal it this season. Possibly Ranjitsinhji may oblige with something as good, but now that ‘ W.G.’ has given up playing it is hard to think of anyone else who is capablc of such feats .”— The Morning Post. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Cambridge on May 14, 15 and 16. Yorkshire won by an innings and 133 runs. The University were not at full strength for this match, neither Buchanan nor Goodwin playing. On the opening day th3 ground was soft and play was frequently interrupted by light showers. Rhodes and Rothery put up 34 together for the first wicket of the County, the latter then being caught at cover. Denton succumbed to the second ball bowled to him, but Wilkinson helped to add 54 for the third wicket. Rhodes, before being bowled by lteunert, made 45 out of 89 in 115 m inutes-a capital innings. Hirst hit five 4’ s in his quickly-got 25, but at 4.15, when rain descended rather heavily, seven wickets were down for 173. After waiting until 5.30 it was de­ cided that further play would be out of the question that day, so stumps were drawn. Bates being notout 30. On Friday Bates was out with only a co lple added, but Ihe last two wickets gave much trouble, Myers and Newstead adding 48 for the ninth and the latter and Hunter 66 fur the tenth—the wicket­ keeper was run out in trying a third run for a hit. Newstead made his highest score for the County, reaching 50 in an hour and a-quarter and scoring 70 not out in 110 minutes; he gave a bright, vigorous and faultless display, and hit a 5 and eight 4’s. In response to a total of 298 the home side scored 52 without loss ere play was abandoned through rain at half-past five. Baily made 27 nut out and Young 20 not out, but they started so slowly that the first twelve overs realised but 14 runs. During Friday night there was further heavy rain, and in the morn­ ing it was found that the wicket had been so com­ pletely ruined that a new one was used. Young alone made any headway against the Yorkshire attach, and during the last hour that he was in was the only player to score. He batted 170 minutes for his 56, and, when the University followed on 189 in arrears, was the only one who reached double figures. Haigh took seven wickets for 23 runs, and Yorkshire won by an innings and 133 runs. Score and analysis :— Y orkshire .
