Cricket 1908

300 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 23, 1 908: W A R W IC K S H IR E v . S O M E R S E T . Played at Leam ington on July 20, 21 and 22. W arwickshire won by 161 runs. During Monday only 271 runs were made for eleven wickets, but in excuse for the slow scor­ ing it must be acknowledged that the wicket was slow and that there were many appeals against the light, which was very poor. War­ wickshire laoked the services of Foster and Hargreave, their bowling in .consequence being greatly weakened. Batting first, the home side quickly lost Kinneir and Baker to Lewis, who was making the ball swerve. Charlesworth and Goodwin, however, played bright cricket, and Quaife's steady tactics proved very serviceable. Glover made 27 and oarried out his bat when the innings closed for 173. Lewis, in the course of 35 overs, had only 58 runs made off him and took six wickets. Somerset, after losing Braund at 33, scored 98 for one wicket by the time stumps were drawn, Bisgood and Whittle putting on 65 together without being separated. On the following morning the former was out in Field’s first over, but Whittle, batting con­ fidently, reached 50 in 85 minutes. The latter, when 62, received from Langley a ball which hit the wieket without removing a b a il: in all he scored 95 in 170 minutes, hitting nine 4’s. Against Quaife’s leg-breaks the last seven wickets fell for 83 runs, but the visitors never­ theless led by 86 on the innings. Warwickshire lost Quaife when they went in again for 8 , but the poor start was retrieved by Kinneir and Baker who, in a partnership lasting 105 minutes, added 135 for the second wicket. Kinneir batted three hours without a chance for 86 , and Baker]s fine innings contained ten 4’s. Charlesworth hit up 43 out of 64 In 40 minutes, and by the end of the day 244 had been made for the loss of four wickets. On Wednesday Goodwin was bowlod with 6 added, and Glover, after making 16, met a similar fate. Lilley batted well, and Somerset were eventually set 255 to win. At lunch four wickets were down for 33, and after the interval the end soon came, Warwickshire winning easily by 161 runs. Santall bowled admirably, taking eight wickets at a cost of five and a-half runs each. Score and analysis W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings.

Leicestershire w on by 141 runs. Derbyshire, who were without Lawton and Cadman, had the worst of Monday’s play, re­ plying to a total of 186 by making 80 for six wickets. The visitors lost their first four wickets for 26 runs, but Whitehead and Craw­ ford effected a great improvement. The latter, who was missed when 8 and 14, made his 42 in 45 minutes. Shields and Astill gave White­ head good assistance, helping to add 42 and 20 respectively. Whitehead hit sevon 4’s during the 170 minutes he was in and played a flawless innings. Wright and Needham made 48 for the first wicket of Derbyshire, but after they were separated a collapse occurred, so that at the end of the day six wickets were down for 80. On the second morning Warren made all the next 15 runs scored and was then caught at second slip. Thompson, after batting 70 minutes for 17, was bowled, and at 111 the innings closed, leaving the visitors with a lead of 75. Leicestershire’s second innings lasted three hours and realised 142, Bestwick taking six wickets for 46. This left Derbyshire 218 to win, but, although W right played well and Rickman made some good hits, the side col­ lapsed for 76, leaving the visitors successful by the margin stated. Astill took thirteen wickets in the match for 61 runs. Score and analysis : L e ic este r sh ir e . First innings. C. J . B. Wood, b Warren ... Kniffht, c Humphries, b Warren ...............

S U S S E X v . L A N C A S H IR E . Played at B righton on July 20, 21 and 22. Sussex won by six wickets. Lancashire, for whom Tyldesley made a very welcome reappearance, had a little the worst of the opening day’s play, scoring only 163 and having 76 made against them for two wickets. The wicket was in favour of the bowlers throughout the day. B y the first ball of the match Hartley was bowled by Yincett, who also disposed of Spooner at 17. Tyldesley, missed at mid-on off a skyer when 12 , was caught at long-on at 46. Sharp played a free and attrac­ tive game, and in the course of his innings of 40 completed his thousand runs for the season : he and Poidevin, who played very steadily, tak­ ing 100 minutes to score 35, put on 54 in an hour for the fourth wioket. A fter the fall of the fifth wioket at 132 Vinoett and Cox caused such a complete oollapse that the last five wickets went down for 31 runs in 40 minutes. MacLaren scored 36 out of 63 in 70 minutes without a mistake and hit six 4’s, giving an excellent display. During tho innings Yincett took six wickets for 69 runs and ran out Sharp. Dean disposed of R. It. R elf at 2 and K illick at 16, but there the success of the visitors ceased, for during the remaining hour and a quarter tho elder Relf and Yine put on 60 without being separated. Yine at one period batted 40 minutes for a single, and his slow sooring, which was quite justifiod, enabled his partner to make his 50 out of 60 in an hour and a-quarter. On Tuesday Yine made a 3 and was then bowled: he scored his 15 out of 82 in two hours. The Jam was disposed of for a single and at 104 both Luther and A. E. R elf were sent back. The last-named scored 64 out of 88 in 140 minutes without a mistake, playing a most valuable game. Butt and Simms reached double figures, and Yinoett, who hit four 4’s, carried out his bat for 21. Huddleston did well to take six wiokets for 59 runs in a total of 147. Lanca­ shire found run-getting a diffioult matter when they went in the second time With a lead of 16. Hartley played a sound game, and put on 13 with Spooner, the same with Tyldesley, and 22 with Poidevin. The third wicket fell at 48, but of the other batsmen only Huddleston reaohed double figures, the innings oloding for 112 and Sussex being set only 129 to win. In the last hour and three-quarters the home side inado 39 for three wickets, Yine, who carried out his bat for 8 , at one period being in for 45 minutes without a run. On Wednesday Vine and the Jam Sahib made a fine stand on a wicket which still assisted the attack. In two hours they added 81, and, after the latter had been bowled, Luther and Vine made the remaining runs without being parted. Vine was in 206 minutes for 59 not out, batting very steadily.
