Cricket 1910

1 6 4 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 2 , 1 9 1 0 . OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. SURREY. Played at Oxford on May 26, 27 and 28' Surrey won by 116 runs. Although at far from full strength, Surrey held the lead throughout and won very comfortably on the third day by 116 runs. On Thursday they made 359 in three hours and three-quarters and afterwards got down two Oxford wickets for 65. After Harrison had been dismissed lbw at 19, Hobbs and Ducat played so freely that in 65 minutes they put on 125 for the second wicket. The former played a flawless innings, but Ducat was missed when 56. The last-named drove with great power and showed himself strong on the o n : he hit eleven 4’s and made his 92 out of 191 in 115 minutes. Wilkinson played a free game, taking only 90 minutes to make 61: with Vigar he added 68 for the seventh wicket, and with Hitch 39. On the second morning Evans and Salter put on 60 together, but the rest of the batting was disappointing and Surrey led by 160 on tho innings. Evans was twice missed, but Salter played fine’cricket. Platt took his last four wickets after lunch while only one run was made off him. Going in again, the County were all dismissed for 150, leaving Oxford 311 to win. Hobbs scored 56 out of 97 in 70 minutes, but, although making some good strokes, was not in his best form, Le Couteur proved puzzling and his four wickets cost just eight and a-half runs each. In the last 80 minutes of the day Salter again batted well and carried out his bat for 48 of the 80 runs which had been made for the loss of two wickets. On the third morning three more wickets fell for the addition of only 23 runs, and tho result became almost a foregone conclusion. Salter batted very well indeed for an hour and a- half, his chief hits being seven fours. Sale, Pawson and Lowe made useful scores, the two last-named putting on 35 for the last wicket, but Surrey won very comfortably. Platt took eight wickets in the match for 68 runs.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Southampton on May 26, 27 and 28. Hampshire won by nine wickets. On a run-getting pitch on the opening day 470 runs were made for the loss of fourteen wickets. After a bad start—the fifth wicket went down at 51—Gloucestershire scored 226. Board made the whole of the first 33 runs, and had scored 36 out of 43 when a wonderful right-handed catch at slip by Sprot sent him back. Huggins, however, was missed when 18, and the mistake proved very costly, for he stayed in for 140 minutes and scored 84, included in which were thirteen 4’s. With Greig and Mead (C. P.) together, the stand for Hampshire's first wicket realized 72 in 45 minutes. White failed, but Llewellyn stayed with Mead for another three- quarters of an hour, during which 101 more runs wore added for the third wicket. Llewellyn hit well on both sides of the wicket, offered no chance, and made ten 4’s. Mead batted for two hours and a-qnarter for 81 and hit seven 4’s. On the second day the free play was continued, and the total of 448 took only four hours and 40 minutes to make. Bowell and Brown put on 105 for the fifth wicket in 70 minutes by flawless cricket, the former hitting nine 4’s and the latter eleven. In their second innings Gloucestershire lost their seventh wiuket at 135, notwithstanding that Langdon and Jessop scored 89 for the opening partnership. The bowling of Greig was chiefly responsible for the collapse, and it proved so successful that everything pointed to the game being over before the end of the day. But Godsell played a sound defensive game, and with Priestley put on 76 in 40 minutes for the eighth wicket and with Parker 56 for the ninth. On Saturday Dennett remained until the last wicket had produced 87 in an hour. Godsell batted two hours and a-half for 81 not out—an innings which was most valuable though not quite flawless. It was owing largely to him that the last three wickets added 219 runs. Of the 133 runs set to win, Greig and Mead made 124 for the first wicket, and the rest were obtained without further loss. Both players mentioned played in faultless style, and Mead made 144 runs in the match for once out. Score and analysis:— G LOUCESTERSHIRE. First innings. R. T.

DERBYSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Chesterfield on May 26 and 27. A P A R TN E R SH IP OF 305. Yorkshire won by an innings and 142 luns. To such an extent was the home side outclassed on the first day that, after being got rid of for 82, they had 312 made against them for the loss of only one wicket. Derbyshire were certainly without Curgenven, Bracey and Rickman, but their absence could not account for the poor show made by the team. They had rather the worst of the wicket, but it cannot be said that the ground was ever really treacherous. The only stand of any note during their innings was by Chapman and Hum­ phries, who added 34 together after the eighth wicket had fallen at 46. It was rather curious that as many as five bowlers should be utilised during so short an innings. Yorkshire lost Rhodes, bowled by Warren, at 27, but Rothery and Denton played so successfully that they took the total to 312 by the end of the day and were still together when stumps were drawn, the former with 123 to his credit and the latter with 165. Denton’s play was faultless, but Rothery was missed when 45 and again when 60. In all they made 305 for the second wicket in three hours and a-half. Denton was the first to leave, bowled off-stump for a chanceless innings of 182, which contained a six and twenty-six 4’s. Rothery also was bowled off-stump by Warren : he batted four hours for his 134, hit seventeen 4’s and offered only the two chances mentioned. With five wickets down for 378 the innings was closed and then, in two hours and three-quarters, Derbyshire were dismissed for 154 on a wicket quite favourable to batsmen. Neither Hirst nor Newstead was put on, but the only player to treat the attack lightly was Cadman, who made 47 out of 61 in 40 minutes. Score and analysis :— D e r b y s h ir e . First innings.
