Cricket 1908

CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 30, 1908. S U S S E X v . W O R C E S T E R S H IR E . Played at Brighton on July 23, 24 and 25. Sussex won by ten wickets. Winning the toss, Sussex showed their appre­ ciation of the perfect wicket by staying in all day for a total of 375 for four wickets. Vine was bowled by a lob at 6, but it was long before the bowlers met with further success. Killick and F ry put on 113 for the second wicket in 145 minutes, and the latter and R elf (R. R.) 188 for the third in 115. Killick was missed at the wicket when 39, and Relf, who was run out in trying a short run so that F ry might reach 200, offered two hard chances. F ry batted two hours and a quarter for his first 50, but reached 100 an hour later, and 200 after batting five hours; in all, he scored 214 out of 363 in 310 minutes before being caught at long-on; he drove well and hit twenty-one 4’s, but should have been stumped when 5. Ten minutes after his dis­ missal play ceased for the day, four wickets being down for 375, and the Jam Sahib carrying out his bat for 27. On the following morning R elf (A. E.) was bowled after being in 70 minutes for 30, but the Indian batted well, and took his score to 87 before being caught and bowled off a full-pitch close to his b a t; he was in 140 minutes, gave no chance, and hit a 5 and four 4’s. A t lunch time the total had reached 530 for nine wickets, and Sussex declared. Wor­ cestershire lost H. K. Foster and Burns for 18, and although G. N. Foster scored 23 out of 29 in half-an-hour, the total was only 74 when the fifth wicket fell. Cuffe, fortunatoly, played a useful game, and added 34 with Pearson, 33 with Isaac, and 41 without being parted with Simp­ son-Hayward. A t the end of the day eight wickets were down for 187, Cuffe carrying out his bat for 53 as the result of 100 minutes’ cricket. On Saturday the last two wickets added 39, the innings closing for 226. Cuffe hit five 4’s and batted two hours for his 60. Following- on, 304 behind, Worcestershire lost Bowley and Pearson for 17 and Simpson-Hayward for 26. At this critical point the brothers Foster came together, and in an hour and a-half added 157 for the fourth wicket. H. K., cutting and driving well, made eleven 4’s in his chanceless 91, whilst G. N. hit seven 4’s in making 62. Of the others only Arnold, who batted an hour and three-quarters for 40, did much, and Sussex were set only 2 runs to win. Score and analy- C. B. Fry, c G. N.

The feature of the opening day’s cricket was che batiing of Rhodes, who, going in first, scoied i22 out of 235 in three hours and a-quarter, and completed his thousand runs for the season. He hit a dozen 4’s, and although he gave two hard chances—when 74 and 107—he p.ayed a sound innings. He put on 48 in three-quarters of an hour with Hardisty, 70 in 65 minutes with Wil­ kinson, and 102 in an hour with H irst. The last-named played a bright and vigorous in­ nings, and hit thirteen 4’s, the majority of them drives, during the 100 minutes he was in ; he was out to a well-judged one-handed catch on the boundary. In response to a total of 325, Leicestershire made 27 for the loss of Wood’s wicket, which went down with a single scored. During Friday the scoring was so sedate that only 282 runs were made during the day for nine wickets. The partnership of Knight and White­ head lasted an hour and a-quarter and realised 68, whilst that of the former and Knight lasted ten minutes longer and produced 68 runs also. Knight was then caught at mid-off for a fault­ less innings of 79 out of 147 in 185 minutes, which contained seven 4’s. King, who batted two hours and 40 minutes for 52, put on 51 iD an hour with Coe, whilst during the last 50 minutes of the day A still and Hazelrigg added 39 for the tenth wicket. The last-named, owing to a split hand, batted under great disadvan­ tages, but managed to stay and carry out his bat for 12. The innings closed for 309, made in six hours and a-quarter. On Saturday the weather broke up, and after Rhodes and H ar­ disty had made 69 without loss, the game was abandoned. Score and analysis :— Y o rk 8H ike .
