Cricket 1909

A u g u s t 12, 1909. CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 L E IC E S T E R S H IR E v. D E R B Y S H IR E . Played at Leicester on August 5, 6 and 7. HAT-TRICK BY SHIPMAN. Derbyshire won by two wickets. Runs were very hard to make on Thursday, and only 259 were scored during the day for 16 wickets. Turner and Crawford added 53 together in 40 minutes after four wickets had fallen for 45, the latter hitting a 6 and five 4’s in his vigorous 37. Turner was in 130 minutes for his chanceless 40, in which were six 4’s. Bestwick and Warren bore the brunt of the bowling, but more use might well have been made of Cadman. Derbyshire lost Cadman at 3, but Morton and Needham added 64 together in just over an hour, and then Morton, Curgenven and Sale were dismissed by Shipman with consecutive balls. When stumps were drawn six wickets were down for 111. On Friday the innings closed for 165, or 17 behind. When they went in the second time Leicestershire lost Wood and Knight for 15, but King and Turner added 39 together, and Toon batted two hours for 39. After the fall of the fourth wicket, at 108, Haslerigg and Crawford put on 123 together in an hour and three-quarters, the latter playing a brilliant and faultless innings of 85, in which were a 6 and eight 4’s. When play ceased with eight wickets down for 257 Haslerigg carried out his bat for 25. On Saturday the total was taken to 313, the player named being 55 not out at the finish —his highest score for the county. Derbyshire were left with 297 to win, and they lost Morton without a run scored. Needham and Cadman, however, added 139 for the second wicket in 140 minutes, and the latter and Curgenven 81 for the third in 60. Cadman batted three hours and a-half without a mistake and hit twelve 4’s. Sale and Warren afterwards hit hard, and Derbyshire won by two wickets - a fine performance.

Although the wicket was in good order, runs never came readily on Thursday, when sixteen wickets fell for 328 runs. Gloucestershire did well to make as many as 150, seeing that seven men were out for 37. Huggins and F. B. Roberts made a most timely stand, adding 59, and the former, when the innings closed, carried out his bat for 58, which took 95 minutes to compile. Early in the innings Foster bowled Brownlee, Meyer and Merrick in five balls in an over, and, in all, took six wickets for 46. By the time play ceased Warwickshire had gained a lead of 28 with four wickets in hand. Lilley batted 95 minutes for 55 at the start of the innings, whilst Meldon, of Coventry, hit hard and carried out his bat for 39 at the end of the day. On Friday Meldon took his score to 44, which included a 6 and five 4’s, and Quaife earned out his bat for 57 when the innings closed for 213. Gloucestershire, in a minority of 63, gave a disappointing display upon going in the second time and were all dismissed for 136. Warwickshire were left with 74 to win and, although they lost Fishwick and Meldon for 4, and Charles­ worth at 38, won comfortably by six wickets. Lilley scored 96 runs in the match for once out.

L. and H. K. Foster, Simpson-Hayward and Bale, whilst Lord Hawke played for Yorkshire in the absence of Rhodes, who was away owing to the death of his father. The visitors won the toss and put Yorkshire in and had every reason to be satisfied with their policy, seeing that they got their opponents out for 109 and replied with 113 for the loss of half their wickets. After four wickets had fallen for 25, Hirst and Bates put on 18 together, the former taking 65 minutes to make 15. Myers batted a similar period for 13, both Arnold and Cuffe bowling very accurately. Worcestershire lost their fourth wicket at 59, but Cuffe played an aggressive game and when stumps were drawn for the day carried out his bat for 42. Haigh did some effective bowling on the second day and, although the last five wickets went down for 44, Worcestershire led by 72 on the innings. Going in again, Yorkshire quickly lost Rothery and Denton, but Wilkinson and Wilson wore down the bowling by very steady play, the latter taking three hours to make 41. When stumps were drawn Yorkshire, with five wickets to fall, were 69 runs on, Hirst being 37 not out. The last-named, who was still somewhat lame, proved a great stumbling block to the visitors and took three hours to make 50. He was last out, Hunter helping to put on 30 for the tenth wicket. Yorkshire took six hours and three- quarters to make 238, and Hirst, despite his injured leg, batted 310 minutes for 87. Worcestershire, set 167 to win, quickly lost Bowley and Foster. Cuffe played well, but upon the fall of the fourth wicket 102 runs were still required with an hour and a-half left. Burns was in his best form and he and Pearson made the runs with forty minutes to spare without being parted. This was Worcestershire’s second success over Yorkshire this season.
