Cricket 1909

J une io , 1909. CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. SUBBEY v. WOECESTEBSHIRE. Played at the Oval on June 3, 4 and 5. Surrey won by 159 runs. To such an extent did the ball beat the bat on Thursday that during the day only 260 runs were made for 22 wickets. Surrey were without Leveson- Gower and Kirk, and Hayward was also away on account of his damaged knee. The first Surrey partnership realised 30, but only two players reached double figures afterwards. Harrison batted 40 minutes for 6, and was in for 25 minutes without increasing his score when he had made a single. Ducat made some good hits and showed strong defence during the 80 minutes he was in, and Smith also hit hard. Cuffo took six wickets for 30 during the innings, and Bale (an ex-Surrey man) caught four at the wicket and stumped one. Smith and Rushby proved altogether too much for the visitors and dismissed the side for 52. Simpson-Hayward hit up 16 out of 18, but Arnold was most unenter­ prising, going in at 21 and carrying out his bat for 5 after batting 50 minutes. When Surrey went in the second time the brightest cricket of the day was seen, Hobbs and Marshal making 79 for the first wicket in an hour. A t the end of the day two were down for 95, Hobbs being not out 47. Owing to rain there was no play on Friday, but the game was resumed in a bad light at the usual time on Saturday. Hobbs almost immediately completed his 1,000 runs for the season and altogether batted a couple of hours for 61. Strudwick left 4 later, and Hayes and Crawford were caught and bowled off consecutive balls at 134. After Ducat and Harrison had added 46 without being parted, Crawford declared the innings closed, leaving Worcestershire four hours in which to get 242. It was running a snorting risk, but Surrey proved equal to the occasion. H. K. Foster was out second ball, and three wickets were down for 28. Arnold and Cuffe remained together 50 minutes and added 33, but the innings closed for 82. Smith and Rushby again took all the wickets between them, the former’s analysis for the match being eleven for 52. Score and analysis:— S u r r e y . First innings.

In dull and very cold weather on Thursday fifteen wickets fell in this match for 399 runs, Hampshire being 15 runs behind with five wickets in hand when stumps were drawn. In the first over of the day Tarrant was missed at long-on by Fry, who let the ball pass through his hands, but the blunder was not an expensive one for both Tarrant and Payne were out for 10. Warner, third out (at 50), batted 50 minutes for 30 and was out to a good catch low down at mid-off. Still, the sixth wicket fell at 60 and it was only a fine stand by Hendren and Robertson that pulled the game round. They were together only 40 minutes, but during that time added 91, tho former making his 50 out of 90 in 40 minutes. Robertson scored 62 out of 141 in just over an hour and a-half and hit a 5 and seven 4’s. Trott and Hearne readied double figures and the innings closed for 207 when Hendren was caught in the long-field. The young professional made some splendid off-drives and hit a dozen 4's in making 75 out of 147 in 80 minutes. When the visitors went in Fry was missed at cover, but, after a good hit or two, was caught in the long-field at 27 off Tarrant, who also dismissed Bowell and Mead at 56 and 59 respectively. Llewellyn then appeared and played a fine game. With White he added 38 for the fourth wicket and with Evans, who batted quietly, 69 for the fifth in 55 minutes. When 62 he was missed at the wicket off Tarrant, but no other mistake could be urged against him. No play was possible on Friday or Saturday owing to rain. Score and analysis :— M id d l e s e x . P.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SUSSEX. Played at Bristol on June 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. On Thursday play was restricted by rain and snow to 90 minutes, during which time Sussex made 77 for four wickets. Robert Relf was run out without a run scored, but Vine defended strongly and carried out his bat for 15 when play ceased : when 11, however, he was missed at cover. Not a ball could be sent down on Friday on account of rain, and on Saturday no play was possible until a quarter past one. Vine batted three hours and a half for 37 and took his bat through the innings: he made 30 singles and at one period of his innings did not increase his scorc for half-an-hour. Dennett bowled well and Vincett took four Gloucestershire wickets for 4 runs. Score and analsyis :— S u ss e x . Vine, not out .......... Relf (R. R.), run out...
