Cricket 1909

2 7 8 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. J u l y 22, 1909. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE v. GLOUCES­ TERSHIRE. Played at Northampton on July 15 and 16. Northamptonshire won by nine wickets. The conditions on Thursday favoured the bowlers, twenty wickets going down for 246 runs. Northants, winning the toss, put Gloucestershire in and dis­ missed them in 135 minutes for 98. Langdon, after a poor start, was seen to advantage, making 32 in a couple of hours. Northants lost two wickets for 19, but Smith and Kingston put on 74 in 70 minutes and, with Wells scoring 18 out of 23 in 12 minutes, a lead of 50 was obtained on the innings. There was rain during the night and the game could not be resumed on Friday until twenty minutes to three. Salter and Board made 53 together in an hour for Gloucestershire’s first wicket, and both left in the same over. Brown afterwards showed good form in scoring 21, .and Dipper and Parker added 14 for the eighth wicket. The others, however, did little and Northants were set only 46 to win. Thompson’s last ten overs were sent down for four wickets and four runs. The home side obtained the runs in half- an-hour for the loss of Kingston, who was bowled after helping Pool to make 30 for the first wicket in 20 minutes. This was Northants’ first win over Gloucestershire. Score and analysis G loucestershire . First innings. M. G.

With Sprot, Fry, and Bestwick away, neither side was at full strength. On Thursday 17 wickets fell for 309 runs, Hampshire leaving off in a strong position. On a dead wicket the home side lost four men for 53, and although Hill and Stone put on 61 together in an hour, seven wickets were down for 123. At this point Brown went in and hit splendidly, making 75 of the last 84 runs in 55 minutes without a chance; his chief hits were twelve 4’s. Wilder, who had played occasionally for Sussex, made his debut for Hampshire and took three wickets cheaply at the end of the day, when Derbyshire had seven men out for 102. Cadman, going in first, carried out his bat for 62—a very sound display. On the second morning the last three wickets fell for 28, leaving Hampshire with a lead of 77. Cadman, first in and last out, made 82 out of 130 in 150 minutes, playing a great game for his side •he hit ten 4’s, but was missed when 3 and again when 49. Hampshire did poorly upon going in the second time and lost seven wickets for 122. Two accidents during the innings handicapped the Derbyshire men considerably. Oliver, early in the innings, had a finger dislocated whilst stopping a hard drive and, later, Cadman had his nose broken in attempting to bring off a catch in the long-field. Llewellyn hit seven 4’s in his useful 63 and Newman, playing really good cricket and hitting well all round the wicket, made eight 4’s in his 51. The last three wickets added 106 and Derbyshire were set 306 to win. By the time stximps were drawn on account of bad light 13 runs had been made without loss. During the evening Lawton's hand was badly cut owing to the bursting of a soda-water bottle, and in consequence he was unable to bat on Saturday. Morton played a very good game for 56 and Cadman, who pluckily batted despite his accident, scored 36, but the innings closed for 137. Score and analysis:— H ampshire . First innings.

Among the many new bats recently put upon the market the one known as the “ M.C.C.” appears to have gained the greatest popular favour. It is built mainly of specially selected Sarawak cane, in which are spaces containing the finest quality catapult rubber closely packed. The top end has small strengthening insertions of vulcanised fibre and is bored into a moulded sleeve of the same material and then riveted. The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is claimed that it is impossible for the handle to become sprung. WARWICKSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on July 17, 19 and 20. WEEK-END CRICKET. Drawn. On account of a damaged hand, Kinneir was absent from the home team, which, however, in­ cluded both Baker and Hargreave. Knight and Wood made good use of the fine wicket, sending up 50 without loss in 45 minutes and making 115 for the opening partnership in two hours. King made a useful 28 and Coe stayed in for 100 minutes for 62, which included six 4’s : the last-named helped Knight to add 105 for the fourth wicket. Knight batted very sedately, taking 260 minutes to reach 100 : altogether he was in an hour longer for 121 and, when stumps were drawn with six wickets down for 298, carried out his bat. On Tuesday the innings closed for 345, and Knight carried out his bat for 137 made in just under six hours and a-half : he hit only six 4’s, but as many as sixty-two singles, was missed at slip when 73, and at one time batted 45 minutes for a single. Warwickshire lost Baker and Charlesworth to the two first balls bowled and Fishwick at 11. Quaife and Windridge put on 42 and the former and Lilley 32, but the innings closed for 137 and the side followed-on, 208 behind. In their second innings Warwickshire scored 93 for two wickets by the end of the day, Lilley carrying out his bat for 57. On Tuesday Warwickshire batted so well that they were able to declare with six wickets down for 365. Lilley took his score to 66 and was then lbw. after batting 135 minutes. Foster hit brilliantly, reaching 51 out of 75 in 45 minutes and making his 97 out of 136 added with Quaife for the fourth wicket in 80. Glover afterwards did well and Quaife carried out his bat for 100, made in 290 m inutes: he hit four 4’s and seven 3’s and played a most valuable game. Beforo stumps were drawn Leicestershire made 58 for one wicket. Score and analysis:— L eicestershire . Knight, not out ...137 C. J.
