Cricket 1908

350 CR ICK ET A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u st 13, 1908 and made eight 4’s in scoring 79 out of 154 in an hour and three-quarters. After the fall of the fifth wicket, at 342, A. P. Day and Hurst added 50 in thirty minutes. With 426 scored, play was discon­ tinued on account of bad light, and almost immedi­ ately after rain came down and stopped the game. On Tuesday, when the wicket rolled out better than was expected, the last three men added only 32, the innings closing for 458, after lasting five hours and a-quarter. Douglas and Fane played confident, cricket for Essex from the start, as is shown by the fact that they made 50 in thirty-five minutes and 100 in a hour and a-half. It was not until Fane had been stumped off a slow ball for 108 made out of 207 in two hundred minutes that the first wicket fe ll; he gave no chance and hit fourteen 4’s. Douglas, second out, made 115 out of 243 without a mistake in 225 minutes, his chief hits being fourteen 4’s. The play after the fall of the first wicket lost much of its interest, and when stumps were drawn six wickets were down for 340. Yesterday Gillingham and Benham made a determined resistance, causing many changes in the attack, and it was not until the seventh wicket had put on 100 that the latter was bowled. Russell helped to add 46 for the eighth, and shortly afterwards Gillingham was lbw. The last-named played splendid cricket, and hit fourteen 4’s—five of them in an over from Hardinge—during the hundred and fifty-five minutes he was in. Considering that he was suffering from a damaged finger, his display was noteworthy. Mead was soon out, the innings, after lasting seven hours and a- half, closing for 510. Kent again lost Marsham for a few, though he stayed while 50 were made for the first wicket. Seymour left a run later, after which Hardinge and S. H. Day settled down and put on 105 for the third wicket. Hardinge batted freely and well, and succeeded in making a second hundred in the game. He made 120 out of 202 in one hundred and seventy mjnutes without a chance, and hit a 5 and eleven 4’s. The match was left drawn. Score and analysis :— K e n t . First innings. Second innings. C. H.

M .C.C. A GBOUND v. L E IC E S T E R SH IR E , l'layed at L ord’s on August 10 , 11 , and 12 . L eicestershiie \von'_by '26 runs. Leicestershire had everything in their favour on Monday, going in first 011 a perfect wicket against very moderate bowling. The early part of the play was marked by a sound and patient display by King, who batted two hours for 50 ; he added 42 with Whitehead, 59 with Sharp, the Repton boy who was making his debut, and 63 (in thirty-five minutes) with Coe. The last-named put on 50 with Astill and, when the innings closed for 334, carried out his bat for a faultless 85. which contained eleven 4’s and was marked by fine drives and good play on the leg-side. The home side had made 5 without loss when heavy rain caused stumps to be drawn. On Tuesday the wicket rolled out well and runs came readily; 50 went up in half-an-hour and three figures thirty minutes later without loss. Raphael reached 50 out of 100 in 65 minutes, and just after­ wards Payne also completed the half-century. When 125 had t een made in an hour and a-quarter Payne was caught at slip for a sound innings of 54, which contained a 5 and five 4’s. Raphael remained in another fifteen minutes and was then bowled by a half volley for a faultless innings of 74; he hit eight 4’s. Barnett made only a single, but Weigall and Hubble added 33 for the fourth wicket and, later, Gannon and Tandy 49 for the seventh in an hour. When the innings closed the County led by 73. When they went in the second time, Leicester­ shire lost Burgess at 42, after which Knight, who batted excellently for seventy-five minutes, and Whitehead put 011 <55for the second wicket. Neither Sharp nor Coe reached double figures, and at the end of the day half the side were out for 142. Yesterday, the County’s innings closed for 186, leaving the premier club 260 to win. Raphael and Payne gave the side a brisk start, but neither equalled his first innings’ success. Barnett and Weigall made a fine stand, and Tandy and Coleman scored well, but the County pulled through by 26 runs. There were 127 extras in the match. Score and analysis:— L e ic e st e r sh ir e .
