Cricket 1908

J u n e 4 , 1908 . CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. N O R T H A M P T O N S H IR E v. L A N C A ­ S H IR E . Played at Northampton on M ay 28, 29 and 30. Northamptonshire won by one wicket. Except that Poidevin, w ho had injured his knee during the m atch w ith Cam bridge Univer­ sity, was away, the Lancashire team was at full strength, and therefore the hom e side’s success was very m eritorious. Northants, for the first tim e during the season, enjoyed the services of East, who, in addition to obtaining seven wickets, m ade the highest score of his life in a first-class match. Lancashire lost H ornby at 28 ai'd Tyldesle}', ow ing to a fine catch at point, eight runs later. H artley m ade 27 out of 66 in 80 m inutes, and Sharp 27 out of 63 in 65; the latter and Makepeace added 33 together in 25 m inutes. Stanning m ade a useful 22 and with Dean put on 32 for the eighth w icket, but the whole side were disposed of in two hours and three-quarters for 146— a poor score on a good wicket. East took the last three wickets w ithout a run being made off him , and was w ell supported in the field. N orthants lost Hawtin at 27, after play had been in progress 40 m inutes, and at 39 both Cox and P ool were sent back, all three w ickets being credited to Brearley. Thom pson put on 22 for the fourth w icket in half-an-hour w ith K ing­ ston, w ho, by sound cricket, scored 35 out of 61 in 85 m inutes. F our wickets were at this point down for 61 and, w hen a collapse appeared not im probable, East and Thom pson, who had been tw ice m issed at the w icket by Makepeace (sub. for W orsley, injured early in the innings), sent the hundred up in 145 m inutes and at the end of the day were still together when, with six wickets in hand, the hom e side were only 33 runs behind. Altogether, the fifth w icket put on 55 runs before Thom pson, who had batted 115 m inutes for h:s valuable 23, was caught in the slips. (W orsley had just previously resum ed his placc at the w icket.) Buswell helped to add 26 for the sixth wicket, but eight were dow n for 144. East com ­ pleted his 50 out o f 83 in an hour and three- quarters, and received such good assistance from the last tw o m en that the ninth w icket added 19 and the last 58 in an hour. East carried out his bat for a faultless and adm irable innings of 85 m ade out of 160 in 205 m in u tes; he li t ten 4's and m ade several fine drives and late cuts. In a m inority of 75, Lancashire com m enced their second innings w ith H artley and Makepeace against W ells and Hawtin, Thom pson being unable to bowl ow ing to an attack of lum bago. W ith 35 scored in 40 m inutes H artley was caught at the w icket, and soon afterwards Tyldesley was bowled and Makepeace dism issed through a good catch in the slips. In this manner three w ickets went down in an hour for 50. Sharp and Hornby becam e associated at this critical m om ent and, by good cricket, added 94 for the fourth w icket in 60 m inutes. Stanning helped to put on 30 for the fifth and then H ornby, who had m ade som e fine drives and hit eight 4’s, was bow led by W ells for 65 m ade out of 124 in an hour and a-quarter. Dean and Brearley made useful contributions, and when the innings closed fcr 239 Northants were left with a w hole day before them in w hich to make 165 to win. They m ade an excellent start, Pool and K ingston m aking 73 together for the first w icket in 55 m inutes, but the form er was missed at short-leg when he had made only two. Three runs later K ingston was bowled, and then, so fast did wickets fall, that the score was only 109 when the seventh went down. The eighth fell at 122 and the ninth at 142, tw enty-three runs thus being required when H ardy went in last man. A m id great excitem ent the run 3 were gradually m ade and, after a trem endous finish, Northants pulled through by a w icket, but Hardy was missed off the w inning hit.

SU R R E Y . Played at Leicester on May 28, 29 and 30. Surrey won by 86 runs. On the Surrey side G oatly and Davis took the places of Lord Dalmeny and Bush, the side being led by Crawford, whilst the Leicestershire eleven was the same as against Sussex earlier in the week. Hayward and H obbs made 55 together in the same num ber of m inutes for Surrey’s first wicket, but the fine start was not m aintained, Hayes falling to a catch at slip at 67 and Marshal being caught at the w icket for a couple. H ay­ ward played a steady gam e and showed strong defen ce; he was fourth out, having scored 41 out of 85 in 100 m inutes. Holland was out to the first ball bowled after lunch, and with his dis­ missal half the side had been disposed of f< r 99 in five m inutes under tw o hours. Crawford and Goatly then came together and, by fine cricket, put on 91 for the sixth wicket in 85 minutes. Crawford, who drove w ith m uch power, was then caught at the wicket, having made 70 in 110 m inu tes; he hit nine 4’s, and was m issed at m id-off when he had m ade 22. In the same time Goatly m ade 54 w ithout a mistake, hitting five 4’s, and with the score unaltered Lees was caught without a run. Nine w ickets were dow n for 218, and at this point Strudwick joined Smith and the pair, by plucky but lucky cricket, added 56 for the last wicket in 25 m inutes, the inning 3 , after lasting four hours and a-quarter, closing for 274. A gainst Craw ford and Lees Leicestershire had lost W hiteside and Knight for 9 and W ood at 32, when play ceased for the day. All three wickets were caught by Holland. On Friday K ing and Coe rem ained in partnership until the fourth wicket had put on 51 in 70 m inutes. Crawford made only 11 and Jayes 3, but Odell stayed whilst 47 were added for the seventh w icket and then King was caught at cover for 86 m ade out of 154 in tw o hours and a-half. He hit nine 4’s and made some capital stroM s, but was missed by Holland in the slips when 17 and again before he had made 30. After his dismissal the end soon came, leaving Surrey with the useful lead of 91. Again, Hayward and H obbs gave the visitors a good start, 41 being m ade in an hour ere the form er was caught at m id-off. Hayes and Marshal were next disposed of and, w ith Hobbs and H ol­ land sent back soon afterwards, half the side were out for 80 in an hour and a-quarter. Then follow ed a series of useful partnerships, Crawford and Goatly adding 32 for the sixth wicket in 25 m inutes, the latter and Davis 43 for the seventh in half-an-hour, and the last-nam ed and Lees 48 for the eighth in 20 m inutes. Davis m ade 56 out of 93 in fifty m inutes, hitting a 6 and eight 4’s—an adm irable display. The innings of 212 lasted 170 m inutes and Leicestershire, w ith a whole day before them , were left w ith 304 runs to win. It soon becam e evident that the home side had resolved to play for a draw, and in this endeavour they nearly succeeded, Surrey w inning only 10 m inutes before tim e. W ith only two runs scored Goatly at third man missed Knight off Crawford, and at the end of half-an- hour the total was only 15. The first w icket put on 44 in 70 m inutes, and the second 29 in forty. W ood was third out, for 29 out of 82 in 130 min utes, being caught in trying to play a ball to leg. Nine runs later K ing was missed at point by Hay­ ward off Crawford, and w ith 135 on the board for four w ickets rain cam e dow n and stoped play for 25 m inutes. Coe batted tw o hours and 50 m in­ utes for 42, and Lees and Crawford quickly dis­ posed of the tail end, Surrey winning as stated. Scove and analysis :— S u r r e y . First innings. Second innings.
