Cricket 1908

A u g u st 20, 19 0 S. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 357 hit a 5 and sixteen 4’s, and offered one chance—to Lewis at mid-off when 92. Hutchings was sixth out, at 335, after batting forty minutes for 35. By very free cricket A. P. Day and Humphreys put on 248 for the seventh wicket in one hundred minutes, the last 201 being made after lunch in an hour and a-quarier. Day was then caught for 118 made out of .281 in two hours ; he hit sixteen 4’s, but, when 69, was missed by Robson, who was, however, handi­ capped by an injured hand. Humphreys was eighth out, at 601, for 149 made out of 266 in one hundred and ten minutes. He forced the game excellently, hit a 6and twenty-four 4’s, and punished Hill for 18 in an over. When he had made 43 he was twice missed by Robson. Upon Humphreys’dismissal the innings, which lasted three hundred and five minutes, was declared closed. On the Friday Kent made 213 in one hundred and fifteen minutes before lunch and 219 in eighty-five after; altogether, 432 (for five wickets) in 200 minutes. The attractive cricket was continued when Somerset went in, 415 behind, for Johnson and Braund in the remaining one hundred and fifteen minutes scored 140 without being parted ; the former, who hit freely and vigourously, making 98 of the number. During the day, therefore, 572 runs were made for five wickets in three hundred and fifteen minutes, Kent scoring 432 for five in two hundred, and Somerset 140 without loss in one hundred and fifteen. On the third morning the pair remained in partnership until the stand had realised 188 in two hours and a-half. Johnson, cleverly stumped, claimed 126 of the num ber; he played an excellent game, hit twenty-one 4’s, and credited himself with his fourth hundred in three matches. Six later, at 194, Braund was caught at the wicket for a sound innings of 53, made out of 194 in one hundred and sixty-five minutes. Then followed so startling a collapse that the total was only 222 when the ninth wicket fell. By free methods Newton and Greswell hit up 79 in three-quarters of an hour, the former, who hit seven 4’s, making 50 in forty minutes. Huish kept wicket superbly in both innings.

Haywood took all ten wickets for 26 runs in an innings of SO for Eltham v. I.essness Park, at Jiltham. on August 8. N O R T H A M P T O N S H IR E v. H A M P S H IR E . P layed a t N ortham pton on A ugust 13 , 14 , and 15 , H am p sh ire won by 1 1 5 runs. Play on the opening day was restricted to two hours and a-half, during which time the home side made 166 for three wickets. Johnston played on at 17, but Mead and Bowell added 63 in eighty-five minutes, and the latter and Sprot 82 in forty-five. The last-named drove splendidly, and in scoring 53 out of 82 hit eight 4’s. Bowell, missed at cover when 25, carried out his bat for 56—an excellent display. On Friday three wickets went down for 17, but a capital innings by Bignell stopped the collapse. With Evans, who gave a finished display, he put on 70 for the seventh wicket and when the innings closed for 291, carried out his bat for 69 made out of loS in an hour and a quarter. He hit ten 4’s and made some powerful drives, but was missed at slip when 4. Northants, in response, lost half their wickets for 116, and, although Vials and Thompson added 46, the innings closed for 195. It was a dull perform­ ance, and lasted three hours and three-quarters. Thompson batted one hundred and five minutes for his 47, but was never quite at home to Newman’s fine bowling: he was in twenty-five minutes ere making a run. Hampshire, leading by 96, lost Bowell at 2 and Mead at 5. Then, as in the first innings, Sprot came to the rescue J ohnston reached 50 in 65 minutes, and the third wicket put on 81 in three-quarters of an hour. Campbell, before being caught at slip, helped to add S3 for the fifth wicket in fifty minutes, but at 179 Johnston’s fine innings terminated. First in, he was sixth out for 107 made out of 179 in two hours ; he gave a brilliant display, hit seventeen 4’s and offered no chance. With eight wickets down for 211 the closure was applied, and Northants set 30S to win. Fryer and Kingston made 2S for the opening partnership, and Bird and Thompson reached double figures. Five wickets, however, fell for 110, and although Pool batted fifty minutes for 33 and Buswell ran up 24, the innings closed for 192. Score and analysis :— H ampshire . First innings. Second innings.

D E R B Y SH IR E v. NOTTS. Played at Chestei field on August 13 and 14 . Derbyshire w on by 36 runs. On Thursday, as the result of some even play, thirty-one wickets went down for 33S run?. Needham played a steady innings of 43 for the home side, in the course of which he completed his thousand runs for the season, and Humphries and Rickman put 011 a valuable 43 for the ninth wicket. Notts quickly lost George Gunn to a brilliant catch at third man, and at 29 his brother was admirably caught at slip. Hardhtaff and Payton added 52 in forty minutes, the former batting an hour for 4(5. Of the others, Iremonger did best. He carried out his bat for 29, only Hallam, who helped him to add 29, giving him much support. Notts could claim a lead of 8 011 the innings, but the home side, going in the second time, made 30 for the loss of Wright s wicket by the end of the day. On Friday Needham was at his b est; he batted one hundred and ten minutes without a mistake for 57, scoring well all round the wicket, and hitting six 4’s. No one eke reached 20, but Notts were left with 153 to win. Before lunch Hardstaff was out with only 9 scored, and although Hallam and George Gunn made a useful stand, half the side was out for 39, the brothers Gunn and Turner all being sent back at the same total. Derbyshire were bou ling and fielding grandly, and at 63 Iremonger was out to a capital catch, whilst 19 later Payton was out to a fine effort. At 87 Jones was sent back, but then a resistance was made, Clifton and Oates putting on 24 for. the ninth wicket. Derbyshire, however, won by 36 runs, Bestwick’s analysis for the whole match working out at ten wickets for 120 runs. It was a very meritorious success. Score and analysis :— D e r b y sh ir e .
