Cricket 1909

236 CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y i , 1909 . THE AUSTRAL IANS . 16 th M atch .— v. SC O T L A .N D . P la yed at E d in b u rgh on Jun e 28 an d 29. D raw n. On a difficult pitch twenty wickets fell on Monday for 248 runs, the home side claiming a lead of 6 at the end of the day with all their wickets in hand. The Sc'ottish side was composed of six Scotchmen and five Englishmen, whilst, in view of the Test match, the Australians rested some of their best men. Noble, winning the toss, sent his opponents in and commenced the attack with Whitty and himself. In 20 minutes Tait and Anderson made 18 for the first wicket, but the former, who scored 29 out of 37 in 50 minutes and was third out, was the only member of the side to reach double figures. With the score 42 for three wickets Hopkins and O’Connor took up the bowling, and they performed so successfully that the innings, after lasting two hours, closed for 93. For some time it was very doubtful whether the tourists would exceed that total. With only 7 scored Bardsley was caught at square-leg and at 14 Hartigan was bowled. McAlister and Noble remained together 35 minutes and added 30, but the total was only 68 when the sixth wicket fell. Cotter then went in and, hitting freely, helped Macartnev to add 30 in a quarter of an hour, his own share being 25. In the end the Australians led by 28. Ringrose and Broadbent, who bowled un­ changed thoughout, were very difficult and were never mastered. In the last 35 minutes of the day Tait (28) and Anderson (2) made 34 for Scotland w ithout being separated. When play was resumed on Tuesday the wicket had improved considerably. Macartney and Cotter shared the bowling, but it was some time before success attended the visitors. Tait played a bright game and reached 50 in an hour, but Anderson took 90 minutes to score 10. The former made his 52 out of 66 in 65 minutes, hitting seven 4’s and six 3’s. Dickson, too, played a capital innings, and Chalmers and Broadbent added 40 for the seventh wicket. The Australians were set 203 to win in rather less than two hours, and, with Ringrose disabled, it was thought not unlikely that the runs might be made. Bardsley was lbw with only 15 scored, but McAlister and Macartney added 56 in half-an-hour. The former was bowled by Peel’s first delivery, at 71, and off his following ball Trumper was thrown out by Broadbent at square-leg. A t 74 and 78 respectively Bailey bowled Macartney and Cotter. Hopkins and Hartigan made only a single between them, and with the fall of the seventh wicket 35 minutes before time, the visitors were in a critical position. Had Chalmers stumped Carkeek there would have been eight out for 113, but the chance was missed, and the Australians succeeded in playing out time without further loss. Noble played a great game and Carkeek rendered the side most useful service. When stumps were drawn the visitors, with seven wickets down, required 56 to win. They experienced a good deal of anxiety in the last hour, the tine form of the home team, without Ringrose, coming as a surprise to them. Score and analysis:— S cotland . R. G.

LEVESON-GOWER’S XII. v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Eastbourne on June 28, 29 and 30. Drawn. Against Greswcll, who took four of the first five wickets, the University started badly on Monday, and it was not until Prest and Macleod put on 68 together that any real resistance was made to the attack. The latter batted 110 minutes for 96, making fifteen 4’s, and was caught in the long-field whilst endeavouring to reach three figures. He gave a hard chance when 46, but made no other mistake. In two hours Mr. Leveson-Gower’s XII. scored 175 for five wickets. Chinnery, making eleven 4’s, the majority of them ofT-drives, scored 53 in 50 minutes, and Page, hitting four 4’s off Macleod in an over, ran up 42 in 35 minutes and carried out his bat. Play was out of the question on Tuesday. Yesterday, thanks to Page who made 87, Leveson- Gower’s XII. gained a lead of 82 on the innings. The player named hit fifteen 4’s during the 65 minutes he was in, but was missed by Nason when 49. In their second innings the University quickly lost Falcon, Buchanan, and Nason, but Collins and Ireland did well and, thanks to a good seventh-wicket stand by Mann and Prest, the danger of defeat was avoided. The match was drawn. Score and analysis : — C a m b r id g e U n iv e r s it y . J. N.

Hampshire won by seven wickets. In the absence of Sprot and Capt. W hite, Hamp­ shire were captained by Fry, who, winning the toss, sent the home side in. Knight and Wood made 56 together in an hour for the first wicket, but the former was missed when 14. The third wicket fell at 70, but King and Ooe saved a collapse by putting on 55 in 50 minutes. K ing played a valuable game, but took 140 minutes to make 47. There was a useful stand for the last wicket, and the total reached 198, made in four hours. Hampshire lost Bowoll at 7, Llewellyn at 17, and Evans at 36. Then Fry joined Mead, and together the pair took the total to 67 without further loss by the end of the day. On the second morning the pair remained together until they had put on 74 in an hour and three- quarters. Mead batted 165 minutes for his faultless 63, and hit seven 4’s. Of the others, only Campbell reached double-figures and the innings closed for 166. Astill’8 seven wickets were taken for just under five runs each. Leicestershire, possessed of a lead of 30, fared very badly indeed when they went in the second time, and, although Knight made a most useful 30, the whole side were out for 99 in two hours and a-quarter. Hampshire were set 132 to win and, before rain stopped play, made 10 without loss. On the third morning the visitors made light of their task, obtaining the runs for the loss of Mead, Evans and Fry. Bowell, after a series of poor scores, showed a welcome return to form and carried out his bat for 60 when the game was won. Score and analysis:— L e ic e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. C. J. B.
