Cricket 1909

M ay 13, 1909. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 119 M.G.C. & GROUND v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 5 and 6. (Continuedfrom page 108.) M.C C. & Ground won by an innings and 97 runs. As was expected from the state in which the game was left on the first evening, the M.C.C. experienced 110 difficulty in beating the County. Luther and Butt took the total to 335, their stand for the last wicket realising in all 42. Leicestershire commenced their second innings 235 in arrears and lost Knight at 12. Wood and Whitehead added 42 for the second wicket, but a collapse afterwards occurred against Belf and Tarrant, and, although the third wicket did not go down until 70, the last fell at 138. Crawford was out in an unusual manner: he played a ball from Tarrant on to his pads and was caught by Relf at slip. It will be seen that in the whole match the last-named took nine wickets for 30 runs. Score and analysis:— L eicestersh ire . First innings. C. J. B.

Surrey gave an extraordinary display of run- getting on a perfect wicket at the Oval on Thursday last, running-up 645 for four wickets during the day in five hours and a-quarter. The first hundred was made in eighty minutes, the second in forty-five, the third in fifty, the fourth in thirty-five, the fifth in foi ty, and the sixth in forty-seven. Hayes and Hobbs played their highest innings in first-class cricket, each exceeding 200, and put on 37l together for the second wicket in two hours and three-quarters. On no previous occasion had so many runs been made at the Oval in one day of a great match, and on no previous occasion had two batsmen exceeded the second hundred for Surrey in the same innings. The first wicket fell at 59, but the second (Hobbs) not until 430. Hobbs made 50 in an hour and a- quarter, and 100—by lunch-time—out of 192 in one hundred and ten minutes. In all, he made 205 out of 430 in three hours and three-quarters by excellent and faultless cricket: he hit a 5 and twenty-four fours. After lunch he and Hayes made 58 in twelve minutes off four overs from Llewellyn (who was punished for 30) and Mead, and the last 130 runs of the stand were scored in forty-five min­ utes. Hayes reached three-figures in one hundred and twenty-five minutes, and then took his score to 153 in seventeen minutes more. Marshal did little, but Crawford hit freely and well and made eleven 4’s in scoring 74 of the 114 added with Hayes for the fourth wicket in 50 minutes. In the last forty minutes of the day Ducat and Hayes put on 88 with­ out further loss, the latter carrying out his bat for 275. He reached 200 out of 428 in one hundred and eighty-five minutes and compiled his 250 in four hours. Although he scored at such a pace only two blemishes marked his display—he was missed at third man by Fry (whose first match it was for Hants.) at 161 and in the long-field (a hard chance) when 226. The fielding was always good, but the bowling was weak. Eight players had a turn with the ball during the day. On the second morning the Surrey policy was to bring the innings to a close quickly in order to get Hampshire in before lunch, and on this account the cricket was hardly serious. Hayes, after adding a single, sacrificed his wicket, his partnership with Ducat for the fifth wicket realising 94 in forty-five minutes. He made 276 out of 592 in four hours and a-half, hitting three 5’s, thirty-three 4’s and seven 3’s : he made some splendid drives and played well to the on. Like Hobbs’, his innings was singularly free from blemish considering the pace at which ho scored. Ducat, after making 49 in fifty-five minutes, was finely thrown out by Bowell, who had only one stump to throw at. The seventh hundred went up six hours from the start and twenty minutes later the innings closed for 742. The wicket was still good when Hampshire went in, but, after Fry and Bowell had made 63 for the first wicket in an hour, Lees and Marshal bowled with such effect that the innings closed for 129—a very poor total on a good wicket. Fry made 42 out of 72 in an hour and a- half and then altogether misjudged a good ball and had his oflt-stump broken. A little later Sprot also had a stump broken, this time the middle one, and there was some delay in having it replaced. Brown, a left-handed player from Oxfordshire made a few good hits, but the visitors were called upon to follow-on 613 behind. Fry was again seen to advan­ tage and completed 50 out of 62 in fifty m inutes: in all, he scored 60 out of 78 in an hour. He hit seven 4’s in his full innings, driving and pulling well. Except Mead, who carried out his bat for 26, the others did little, the score when play ceased being 99 for five wickets. On Saturday the game was soon over, only Brown and Stone making any resistance. Score and analysis:— S u r r e y . Hayward, c White, b Newman Hobbs, c Bowell, Stone..................
