Cricket 1910

M ay 19, 1910. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 141 SOMERSET v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Taunton on May 16, 17 and 18. Gloucestershire won by 141 runs. Gloucestershire, after losing Barnett with only 2 runs on the board and having Jessop caught off the first ball he received, did well to make 283. Fo. that total they were indebted very largely to Board and Langdon, who put on 154 for the second wicket in 115 minutes. The former played a faultless innings, but the latter might have been caught when 52 and again when 77. Mills made a useful score, but both Miller and Rowlands were missed twice. Robson bowled best for the home side and had the best figures. The summary dismissal of Jessop, who was making his first appearance in a match of note since his severe accident at Leeds last July, was naturally a very keen disappointment to the holiday crowd. In the last half-hour of the day Somerset, whose captain, Daniell, was on his honeymoon, scored 17 for the loss of Johnson. On Tuesday, Hardy was out with 21 added and Braund had made only 29 when dismissed by a catch at the wicket. Robson was missed off the second ball he received and Lewis when he had made 24. The last-named batted two hours for 45, and, after Hill had been dismissed for 5, Poyntz and Hodgkinson put on 92 for the eighth wicket in 45 minutes and the last- named and White 68 for the last. Hodgkinson just missed obtaining his hundred : he batted nearly two hours and hit sixteen 4’s, driving powerfully, n their second innings Gloucestershire had lost three wickets for 20 when Jessop went in and scored 74 out of 109 in 70 m inutes: he scored from 29 of the 5S balls he received and hit two 6 ’s and eight 4’s. He received little support, however, and when stumps were drawn Gloucestershire had eight wickets down for 182. Yesterday the innings closed for 217, the only feature of the play being the brilliant right-handed catch by Robson which dismissed Huggins. The home side were left with 199 to win, and after Johnson and Braund were parted they were always struggling for runs, six wickets going down after lunch for 14 runs. Huggins was for a time almost irresistible, obtaining his first five wickets for 5 runs. His analysis for the innings was seven for 15, and, thanks to him, Gloucester­ shire won easily by 141 runs.

On a difficult wicket twenty-one wickets fell in this match on Monday for 281 runs, the visitors finishing with a lead of 11 runs with Vials’ wicket down in their second innings. Northants found run-getting so hard a matter that their total of 117 took two hours and a-half to make. Pool scored 43 in an hour and hit six 4’s, but he was let off when 31. Only Thompson and Denton of the others reached double-figures, the tail collapsing against Coe, who took four wickets for 13. Leicestershire lost Knight at 2 and Whitehead at 6, but despite useful scores by Wood, Turner and Sharp the sixth wicket fell at 70. Crawford and Jayes, each let off twice, then added 43 in 20 minutes and the home side gained a lead of 18 on the innings. Smith bowled with good judgment and was always difficult. On Tuesda/ the last nine wickets added only 95 runs, and Leicester­ shire experienced little difficulty in winning by seven wickets. Jayes took five wickets during the morning for 13 runs, and Wood sent down 32 balls for one run and three wickets. Poor fielding on the part of the visitors had a good deal to do with the result.
