Cricket 1908

A ugust 27, 1908. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 373 HAM PSH IBE v. WARW ICKSH IRE. P layed a t Portsm outh on A ugust 20, 21. and 2 2 . D raw n. In the absence of Field a trial was given to Taylor, a right-handed bowler above medium-pace attached to the Edgbaston ground staff. Owing to rain play on the opening day was limited to about three hours, during which time the home side made 253 for seven wickets. With only 10 scored, Bowell was struck so severely on the elbow that he was obliged to retire. Mead kept Johnston company whilst 60 were added, and the latter and Sprot put on a further 36. Johnston batted admirably for an hour and forty minutes, and, following his dismissal, White and Llewellyn added 88 in an hour by very bright cricket, the former hitting eleven 4's and the latter a 6 and five 4’s. White and McDonell put on 40 in a quarter-of-an-hour, the latter making only 7 of the number. On the second morning the three outstanding wickets went down for 10 runs in ten minutes, the innings closing for 264. War­ wickshire made a poor start, Kinneir and Fishwick being out for 24, and Quaife at 41. At (53 Baker was stumped, but Charlesworth and Lilley prevented a collapse by adding 136 in eighty-five minutes for the fifth vicket. Lilley hit nine 4’s in his faultless 65, but Charlesworth, who hit fifteen 4’s during the one hundred and 1hirty minutes he was in, was missed in the long-field by Mead when 77. At 1S9 McDonell went on, and the liist four wickets fell before him for 10 runs. Hampshire very quickly lost the slight advantage they had gained on the innings, for both Johnston and Bowell were out by the time 24 had been made. Mead and Sprot came together at this point and stayed in partner­ ship until play ccased, adding 82, the former carrying out his bat for 35 and the latter for 48. There was heavy rain in the night, and the resump­ tion was delayed until five minutes to three on Saturday. Against Santall five wickets went down for 00, and then the innings was closed, leaving Warwickshire with 192 to win. There was scarcely time in which to make the runs, and the visitors had no difficulty in drawing the game. Score and analysis :— H ampshire . First innings. Second innings. A. C.

Kent won by an innings and 156 runs. On Thursday cricket was considerably curtailed by rain, there being a delay of an hour and a half before lunch and no play after five o’clock. In the two hours and three quarters available Kent scored 247 for three wickets. Hardinge fell to a clever catch at slip at 15, but Seymour and Marsham in a couple of hours put on 179 for the second wicket, the latter then being bowled for an attractive, but somewhat lucky, innings of 70, which contained eight 4’s. S. H. Day rendered good service, but when 41 had been added Seymour vas caught in the slips for a perfect innings of 137, made out of 220 in one hundred and forty minutes; he reached 50 out of 62 in an hour, and 100 out of 152 in one hundred and ten minutes, hit twenty 4’s, and scored well all round the wicket. During the night and early morning there was heavy rain, which, followed by sunshine, caused the batsmen to force the game. This they did to such effect that in one hundred minutes the outstanding seven wickets put on 169. S. IF. Day, hitting eight 4’s, made his 55 in an hour, placing well to leg and making some fine off-drives, but the best display was given by liutchings, who was peen at his best. Driving with great power, and hitting thirteen 4’s, he scored 73 out of 113 in seventy minutes ; only one chance—when 60 —disfigured the display. The innings of 416 lasted four hours and twenty-five minutes, and King did well to take seven wickets for 91 in so large a total. Wood showed very patient cricket for 49, and received good support from Whitehead, King, and Coe, but the last six wickets fell in forty minutes for 19, Blythe taking his last four for 3 runs. In the follow-on the first five wickets went down for 37 in fifty-five minutes, and in an hour and a half the innings was finished off for 83. Blythe and Woolley bowled with great effect, the former’s record for the match being thirteen wickets for 136 runs. Score and analysis:— K en t . C. H. B.

Nottinghamshire won by 130 runs. The match with the Philadelphians unfortunately quite failed to attract the Nottingham public, only about five hundred spectators being present on the opening day. Barnes, who was accorded a trial for the County, is a son of the late William Barnes, and is a member of the Trent Bridge ground staff. The best batting in Notts’ first innings was shown by Hardstaff, who batted an hour-and-a-half for :-5 and w’as then dismissed by a brilliant catch at short leg. Hallam, who made a drive for 6 off King, helped to put on 22 for the last w icket; but the innings closed for 139, a poor total on a good wicket. King bowled at his best, his seven wickets costing just under eleven runs each. The Philadelphians’ innings was interrupted by rain after play had been in progress half an-hour, and alt -gether they were able to bat for only seventy minutes on the first day. During that time they lost half their wickets for 63 runs, Iremonger bowling well, and Jones making some fine catches at the wicket. No play was possible on Friday until twenty minutes past one, and, owing to a couple of showers aft *r lunch, play lasted only three hours and a-quarter. Wood batted well for seventy minutes, and a useful 24 by Greene enabled the visitors to exceed the home total by a single. The County lost Turner in their second innings at 7, but Hardstaff and George Gunn made a good stand, hitting so well after a steady start that in an hour and a-half they put on 110 for the second wicket. Hardstaff continued to bat well on Saturday, and put on 38 with John Gunn and 36 with Iremonger, batting two hours and forty minutes for his excellent 77. Kimr, in getting rid of Barnes, took his one hundredth wicket of the tour: he bowled so successfully that the last five wickets went down for 15 runs, and his record for the match worked out at fourteen for 130. The Philadelphians collapsed badly against Hallam and Wass in their second innings, aud were beat-m by 130 runs. Hallam bowled in great form. Score and analysis:— N otts . First innings.
