Cricket 1908

206 C R IC K E T : A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e i i , 1908. S U S S E X v . K E N T . Drawn. M arsham and M ason reappeared for K ent, w hilst Ihe Jam o f Naw anagar assisted Sussex fo r the first tim e since 1904. R . R . R elf w as caught in the slips at 27, but V ine and K illick added 64 in 70 m inuies ere the latter m et a sim ilar fate. That, as it happened, was the only real stand o f the inning?, which lasted just over three hours, and realised only 134. Fielder took six wickets fo r 52 runs, obtaining his last five for 17. D illon and H ardinge m ade 31 for the first K ent wicket, the latter and Seym our 32 for tfce second, and H utchings and Seym our 55 (in 20 m inutes) fo r the third. A t the end o f the day the last-nam ed was not out 70, and the total 161 for three w ickets. On Tuesday Seym our was out w ith 6 added, having h it nine 4’s in m aking 73 ou t of 137 in tw o hours. Mason and W oolley, w ho scored 59 out of 101 in 120 m inutes, put on 42 for the sixth wicket-, bu t after the latter’s dism issal a collapse occurred, the last three w ickets going dow n w ith the score unchanged. Sussex lost the younger R elf at S, but V ine and K illick m ade a fine stand, the latter reaching 50 in 85 m inutes. T ogether they added 143 for the second w icket in tw o hours, the left-hander then being bow led for 65, w hich included eight 4’s. Vine m ade his 77 out of 165 in 155 m inutes, hitting ten 4’s, and in the rem aining hour and a half the Jam and the elder R elf added 95 for the fifth w icket, the form er being lbw to the last ball of the day, the total then being 265. On the th ird m orning A . E. R elf w as caught at the w ick et for a very good innings o f 85, w hich lasted 140 m inutes and con­ tained tw elve 4’s. The tail-end w ickets gave trouble, and eventually K ent were set 281 to w in. A gain st C ox and th e elder R elf the side fared badly, H ardinge and W oolley b ein g sent back w ithout scorin g, and Seym our and H utchings dism issed ere reaching double figures. D illon m ade 10 only, but M ason and H um phreys put on 75 together and played out tim e. Score and a n aly sis: — S u ssex . First innings. Vine, c H uish, b Fielder 33 R elf (R .

Played at Nottingham on June 8, g and io. Drawn. Both sides were at full strength, except that Taylor took the place o f W ass, whose thumb was too stiff to allow him to appear. Hayward and H obbs started slow ly for Surrey, taking half-an-hour to score eleven, but the pace afterwards increased, and when Hayward w as caught by the wicket-keeper 89 had been made in 100 m inutes. The second wicket added 31, and then H obbs was caught by Alletson running in from m id -off: he m ade his 57 out o f 120 in tw o hours and a quarter by steady cricket, and hit four 4’s. M arshal and Hayes fell in consecutive overs, and Crawford and H olland set themselves to wear dow n the attack. The form er took an hour and three-quarters to score 21, but he helped H olland to put on 107 for the fifth wicket. H olland, who had been m issed in the slips by Jones when 21, reached 50 in 95 m inutes, and hit eight 4;s during the tw o hours and three-quarters he batted for 85. A t the end of the day Surrey had seven wickets down for 276. The scoring was certainly slow, but the bowling and field­ ing were good, and the quiet m ethods o f Crawford and H olland were justified. On the second m orning, m ainly ow ing to Lees and Leveson-Gower, w ho added 38 in 25 m inutes, the total reached 331, in w hich Taylor did w ell to take six w ickets for 109 runs. N otts lost Irem onger at point at 7, and Jones, bowled at 45. George Gunn m anaged to stay, bu t he was m issed at 22, 36 and 41. W ith his brother he put on 71 for the third w icket in 85 m inutes before the latter was finely stum ped off a short-pitched ball deliberately sent dow n by Crawford. W ith Hard­ staff another good stand was made, 115 being added in 105 m inutes, and then George Gunn w as fourth out at 231. A fter m aking his first 50 he played adm irably and batted altogether 210 m inutes and hit eleven 4’s. Hardstaff m ade runs all round the w icket and gave no chance during the tw o hours and a quarter he was in. A t the end of the day Notts had m ade 281 for five w ickets, Payton being not out 30. Y esterday P ayton and Branston added 50 for the sixth w icket in 40 m inutes, and, w ith A lleton, Oates, and H allam m aking double figures, the total reached 403. Branston batted 90 m inutes and hit seven 4’s, w hilst Craw ford did very w ell indeed to take seven w ickets for 132 runs in so large an innings. Surrey, 72 behind, lost H ayw ard for a dozen. H ayes for 22 and M arshal w ithout a run, but H obbs played steadily until joined by H olland, when he increased his pace and played beautiful cricket. When stum ps were draw n he carried out his bat for a faultless 117, w hich took 200 m inutes to m ake and contained thirteen 4’s. John Gunn, in essaying a catch from Strudw ick, unfortunately sustained a com pound fracture of his left thum b, and, in consequence, w ill be kept out of cricket for some weeks. The receipts for the three days am ounted to £ 888 . Score and an alysis:— S u r r e y . First innings. Second innings.
