Cricket 1909

CR ICK E T : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une to, 1909. LEICESTERSHIRE v. NORTHANTS. Played at Leicester on June 3, 4 and 5. Leicestershire won by five wickets. The crickct was rather featureless on the first day, when seventeen wickets went down for 300. The visitors’ first wicket realised 24 and their second 53, but at lunch six were down for 114. Pool batted 80 minutes for 49, and, with Smith and Knight making double figures, the total reached 153 as the result of two hours and three-quarters’ play. Knight and Whitehead made 42 for Leicestershire’s first wicket, the latter batting nearly two hours. Wells then got four more wickets down for 25 runs, but Jayes played well and, thanks to him, the home side were only six runs behind with three wickets in hand when stumps were drawn. On the second day seventeen wickets went down for 264 runs, the home side when stumps were drawn wanting 87 to win with six wickets to fall. East took the three outstanding Leicestershire wickets for one run, but the side nevertheless had a lead of 20 on the innings. When they went in the second time Kingston batted admirably for an hour and a-half, and Thompson helped to wear down the bowling by taking an hour to make 19. After the fall of the seventh wicket at 104, Knight and Hawtin put on 59 together in an hour, and eventually Leicestershire were set 159 to win. Knight was run out without a run scored and three men were out for 33. After Coe had been caught at 50, King and Crawford added 22 without further loss. Altogether the pair remained together 105 minutes and added 99, quite settling the result. When Crawford was caught only 8 runs were required, and they were made without further loss.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Nottingham on June 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. Essex, who were without Fane, lost the toss and fielded whilst Notts batted four hours and a-half for 288. At one time a much larger total appeared probable, for at the tea interval only four wickets were down for 245. Then followed a collapse, Buck­ enham taking five of the last six wickets for 22 runs in eight overs. In the early part of the innnings Jones played bright cricket, and had made 46 out of 66 in an hour when caught off a skyer at cover. George Gunn made strokes all round the wicket and w ith Payton added 72 for the fourth wicket in an hour. Chief honours of the day, however, went to Payton, who gave no actual chance in making 77 out of 182 in 160 minutes: in partnership with John Gunn, who hit seven 4’s in his 48, he put on 94 for the fifth wicket in an hour and a-quarter. At the end of the day Essex made 24 without loss. Essex stayed at the wicket during the whole of Friday, scoring during the day only 326 runs for ten wickets on a good pitch. Their batting lacked enterprise. Russell (E.) and Freeman made 65 for the first wicket in 95 minutes and the former and Douglas 113 for the second in an hour and three-quarters. Douglas played more freely than usual, and hit ten 4’s, but he was very lucky. Russell (E.) was third out, for 90 made out of 224 in four hours ; it was a wearisome display, but one devoid of blemish. McGahey went in late, owing to a damaged hand, and, after the eighth wicket had fallen at 306, he and Russell (A. C.) put on 39 together. The innings lasted six hours and 20 minutes and amounted to 350, and as many as 50 maiden overs were sent down by the Notts bowlers. Riley again did well, his six wickets being obtained for 88 runs. Play on Satur­ day was restricted by rain to two hours, during which Notts scored 117 for one wicket. Jones being in bed with rheumatism, Iremonger and George Gunn opened the innings, and made 105 together in an hour and three-quarters. Score and analysis :— N o tts . First innings. Second innings.

Played at Edgbaston on June 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. The visitors performed so well on the opening day that they stayed in all the time available, making 387 for six wickets. Bad light then stopped play. Rhodes and Wilson made 90 for the first wicket and the latter and Denton 175 for the second in an hour and three-quarters. After lunch the latter pair made 40 runs off four overs in 15 minutes, Taylor and Foster bowling. Wilson scored his 102 out of 265 in three hours and hit eight 4’s : when 72 he was missed by Foster at short-leg, but made no other mistake. Rothery helped to put on 74 for the third wicket in 55 minutes and then saw Denton sent back for 140 made out of 249 in two hours and three- quarters—a faultless innings which contained a 6, a 5 and twenty-five 4’s. On Friday, thanks to a ninth- wicket stand of 92 by Myers and Radcliffe, the total reached 500. The captain forced the game and hit six 4’s during the 70 minutes he was in. Myers was much slower, taking a couple of hours to make 53. With nothing to hope for but a draw, Warwickshire stayed in during the rest of the day, making 215 for two wickets. Charlesworth scored 51 out of 96 in 85 minutes, and Kinneir, second out, 52 out of 115 in two hours. Baker and Quaife afterwards played slow cricket, and had added exactly 100 without being parted when stumps were drawn. On Satur­ day they remained together until their partnership had lasted two hours and three-quarters and realised 139, Baker then being caught and bowled after batting three hours and a-quarter for 74. Lilley was soon out, but Pridmore made a promising debut and Quaife was at the wicket for three hours and three quarters for 80. Santall and Hargreave scored usefully, and the follow-on was saved. Rhodes’ analysis of seven for 83 was very good in such a total. When Yorkshire had made 89 for two wicket3 in their second innings bad light put an end to the match.
