Cricket 1909

A u g u s t 26, 1909. CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 357 S U R R E Y v. Y O R K S H IR E . Played at the Oval on August 19, 20 and 21. A to ta l of 26. Surrey won by 86 runs. Hayward and Rushby re-appeared for Surrey, who batted first on a rather soft wicket. A dismal start was made, Hayward and Hobbs being out for 20. Then, however, Marshal played a great innings and perhaps saved the side from collapse : he put on 40 with Hayes, 26 with Bird and 90 with Ducat. Play­ ing a free game, he reached 50 out of 70 in 50 minutes and 101 out of 140 in 105: in all, he made 110 out of 156 in 110 minutes and was then caught at cover. In making his first hundred of the season he hit well all round the wicket and made sixteen 4’s, one of which—off Drake—bounded off the terrace at square-leg over the fence. His splendid hitting caused much enthusiasm, and he did not make a faulty stroke. Ducat, content to defend whilst in with Marshal, afterwards hit w ell: he made eight 4’s in scoring 67 out of 148 in two hours. Strudwick and Rushby added 28 for the last wicket and the total reached 273. Haigh, who was well nursed by his captain, took seven wickets for 65, and made his record for the season a three-figure one. York­ shire lost Rhodes at 17, but Wilson and Denton added 74 for the second wicket in 58 minutes, the latter, who hit nine 4’s, claiming 53 of the number. At the end of the day two w’ickets were down for 97, Wilson being 30 not out. During the 15 minutes that play lasted on Friday Wilson and Rothery added 21 runs without further loss. On Saturday some truly remarkable cricket was seen, twenty- eight wickets falling for 193 runs and the game being finished. There was lialf-an-hour’s delay at the start owing to the state of the wicket. Rothery and Wilson, both of whom batted on each of the three days for their first-innings score, remained together until the third wicket had added 42, the latter then falling to a superb catch at slip by Marshal, who took the ball very low down. The fall of the wicket credited Rushby with his 100th victim of the season. Hirst, after making 16 of the next 28 runs, was yorked, but Drake renmined with Rothery whilst 39 were added in half-an-hour. The last-named scored his 43 out ot 109 in 110 minutes, whilst Drake, who showed the best cricket on the side, obtained 31 out of 44 in three-quarters of an hour. Bates, Newstead and Haigh fell in quick succession before Smith on a wicket which was becoming very diffi­ cult and the innings, after lasting three hours and three-quarters, closed for 223. Lees, with six wickets for 60, was the most successful bowler. When Surrey went in the second time the attack was shared by Hirst and Haigh. With only a single scored Hobbs was bowled and at 2 Hayward also fell to Hirst. Marshal and Hayes took the score to 38, at which total three wickets fell. Davis was lbw at 39 and Ducat caught off a skier at slip at 41. Smith, eighth out, left at 50 and Strudwick at 58, whilst when Lees fell to Hirst at 62 the innings closed, after lasting 100 minutes. The pitch suited Hirst and Rhodes to perfection, and only a couple of 4’s were hit during the innings. Yorkshire were left about 80 minutes in which to make 113 to win. Some people thought that an effort would be made to hit off the runs, but Rushby and Smith proved irresistible on the treacherous wicket and rendered the visitors utterly helpless. Rhodes was soon bowled, Wilson caught at cover, Rothery (deceived in the pace of a ball) caught and bowled, Hirst out to a magnificent catch at short-leg by Davis, who took a ball with great pace on it, and Denton bowled. Half the side were thus out for 16. Drake and Bates took the score to 26, at which total all the other wickets went down, Bates, Newstead, Drake, Hawke and Hunter leaving in succession. The whole side were disposed of in 55 minutes for 26, Surrey winning by 86 runs amid much enthusiasm. The total of 26 is the smallest for which Yorkshire have ever been dismissed.

W A RW IC K S H IR E v. L A N C A S H IR E . Played at Eilgbaston on August 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. In the last of their home fixtures Warwickshire gave a good display on the opening day, scoring 296 and getting two good Lancashire wickets down for 20. They lost Lilley and Kinneir for ten, but Quaifc, who batted two hours for 28, and Charlesworth put on 58 for the third wicket. Foster, playing freely, made 45 in 55 minutes, but the best display was given by Glover who, hitting eight 4’s, scored 69 in an hour and a-half. The last wicket added 46 and the innings reached the total stated. Before stumps were drawn Lancashire had lost Makepeace and Heap for 20. During the two hours and a-half to which play was restricted on the second day Lancashire added 166 runs for the loss of five more wickets. Hornby, who hit five 4‘s, made his 54 out of 105 in 95 minutes, but the best cricket was shown by Tyldesley. The latter batted an hour and three- quarters for 66 and hit four 4’s. On Saturday the last three wickets added 43 runs in 40 minutes, the total reaching 229. When Warwickshire had made 24 without loss in their second innings rain caused the game to be abandoned.

Northamptonshire won by eight wickets. On a wicket not recovered after the heavy rain of Wednesday, fifteen wickets fell on the first day of this match for 294 runs, Northants, when stumps were drawn, being only 4 runs behind with five men out. After five Derbyshire wickets had fallen for 31, Cadnian and Morton put on 36 together in 40 minutes, but at lunch seven men were out for 93, Thompson being responsible for the dismissal of six of them. Eventually the total reached 149, Morton and Warren adding 26 for the eighth wicket, and the latter and Humphries 56 for the ninth. Thompson’s analysis showed seven wickets at a cost of 8 runs each. In making 145 for five wickets, Northants were indebted chiefly to Smith and Denton, whose partnership for the second wickct realised 56. The latter hit six 4’s during the 90 minutes he was in and made his highest score in first-class cricket. Only 70 minutes’ play was possible on Friday, during which time Northants added 57 runs for the loss of Hawtin, who batted 140 minutes for 40. On the third morning the innings closed for 2C5, giving the visitors a lead of 116. Kingston batted on each of the three days for 47. Derbyshire, going in the second time, lost their sixth wicket at 90, and an easy defeat seemed in store for them. A shower interfered with play, however, and Morton and Humphries remained together for an hour, adding 45. The total reached 139, and Northants, set 24 to win, lost a couple of wickets in obtaining the runs one minute before time. Score and analysis:— D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. L. G.
