Cricket 1909

A ugust 5, 1909. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 315 THE AUSTRAL IANS . 26 th M a t c h . — y. S O U T H W A LE S . Played at Cardiff on August 2, 3 and 4. The Australians won by eight wickets. Neither side was at full strength, neither of the brothers Phillips playing for South Wales and the Australians leaving out Ransford, Trumper, Laver, Cotter and Carter. Batting first on an easy wicket, the home side made 22S in 235 minutes, and in the last 50 minutes of the day got one Australian wicket —Hopkins’—down for 58. Riches and Silverlock showed the best cricket of the day, the pair making 74 together for the first wicket in 05 minutes by bright and free methods. The 50 went up in 40 minutes and Silverlock, the first out, hit six 4's in his excellent 42. After the fall of the second wicket, at SI, Whittington and Sweet-Escott put on 49 to­ gether and the latter and Bancroft 33. Sweet-Escott made his 44 without a chance out of 82 pbtained whilst in. After the fall of the fourth wicket, at 103, a collapse took place, the total being only 194 when the ninth wicket went down. Nash, hitting freely, made 32 and added 34 with Creber for the last wicket in twelve minutes : he was, however, missed three times—by O’Connor, Hopkins and Gregory. The Australians lost Hopkins at 32, but Carkeek and Hartigan took tho score to 58 without further loss, the latter, missed by Creber when 28, being 3S not out. In all, the second wicket added 03 in 35 minutes, of which number Carkeek made only 0. Hartigan hit freely aud well and scored his 88 out of 125 in 95 minutes, making some capital strokes, including thirteen 4’s. O’Connor and McAlister put on 57 in 45 minutes for the fifth wicket, but Creber got rid of Armstrong and Bardsley in one over, and it was due to a stand of 50 by Noble and McAlister that the Australians obtained a lead of 43 on the innings. The last-named scored 05 out of 137 in 110 minutes, playing a very sound game and showing himself strong on the off. Going in the sccond time, South WTales lost two wickets for 8 and another at 37. Whittington stayed 50 minutes for 20, however, and Bancroft and Jones put on 37 in 35 minutes. When play ceased five wickets were down for 83. On the third day the last five wickets went down for 24, and the Australians made the necessary runs for the loss of two wickets in 45 minutes, Gregory obtaining 41 of the 01 made from the bat.

Played at Bradford on August 2, 3 and 4. HAIGH*S BENEFIT. Yorkshire won by 100 runs. So much rain had fallen on Sunday that it was not until four o’clock on Monday afternoon that the match could be started. Over 10,000 persons were present ani, although they bore their long wait with commendable patience, they were naturally keenly disappointed. Play was limited to two hours on the first day, during which time Yorkshire, who were fortunate enough to win the toss, made 111 for four wickets. Rhodes and Wilson made 30 together for the first wicket and the latter and Denton 52 (in 35 minutes) for the second. Wilson claimed only 11 of the runs made during the opening partnership, but afterwards drove with great vigour and made some capital pulls. The gates receipts amounted to £334 0s. Od. and a collection for Haigh realised £20 4s. Id. On Tuesday the fifth wicket fell at 134 End then, so well did Heap bowl, that the innings closed for 159: the last six wickets went down for 48 runs in 05 minutes. When Lancashire went in Spooner played a fine game, but Hornby was the only other member of the side to give him much support, though Tyldesley stayed whilst 45 were added in 25 minutes. Spooner made his 47 out of 03 in 55 minutes and three times drove Rhodes on to the roof of the football pavilion: his chief hits were eight 4’s. Hornby also hit freely and scored his 47 out of 57 in 55 minutes, claiming all the last 24 runs made by the side. Rhodes took seven wickets for just over nine and a-half runs each, and the visitors found themselves 39 behind on the innings. Going in again, Yorkshire made 9S runs for five wickcts in two hours and a-quarter. Rhodes scored 25 in 55 minutes and Denton 37 in 05. Hirst, when 2, wrenched his knee and was obliged to retire from the game. Tuesday’s receipts amounted to £007 and a collection realised £40. Yesterday Yorkshire lost their last five wickets for 48 runs, the tail, as on the previous day, doing little against Heap, who took eleven wickets in the match for 95 runs. Lancashire were set 180 to win—a heavy task as the wicket was—and by lunch had lost five men for 54, only Spooner making any resistance. After the interval Rhodes carried all before him, and Yorkshire won comfortably by 100 runs. Score and analysis:— Y o r k s h ir e . First innings.

E S S E X . Played at Derby on August 2 and 3. a r e m a r k a b le b o w lin g fe a t . Essex won by 136 runs. Everything on the first day was dwarfed by the cricket of Buckenham, who made 34 not out and took half-a-dozen wickets. The ground was alto­ gether against heavy scoring, as is evident from the fact that twenty wickets went down during the day for 207. After Essex had been dismissed for 141 in three hours and a-quarter, Derbyshire failed lament­ ably and were all out in 85 minutes for 58. Wright forced the game well and helped to scorc 29 for the first wicket. Then, however, Buckenham bowled with such effect that he actually took six wickets without a run being made off him. The seventh wicket fell at 33 and the side were dismissed for 58. In the last few minutes of the day Essex, going in the second time, made 8 without loss. Oil Tuesday it transpired that Perrin was called homo owing to the serious illness of a near relative and would be unable to take further part in the match. Russell (E.), who had been sent in overnight to play out time, stayed in 130 minutes and scored 44 out of 109 obtained whilst in. McGahey played finely for 53 and was well supported by Russell (A. C.), who carried out his bat for 38 when the innings closed for 1S7. Set 271 to win, Derbyshire lost Wright for a single and never looked like making the runs, though Needham played a fine game for 50. Bucken- ham’s pace was too much for the majority of the side.
