Cricket 1910

J u n e 2, 1910. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. LANCASHIRE v. SOMERSET. Played at Manchester on May 26 and 27. REMARKABLE SCORING. Lancashire won by an innings and 248 runs. Somerset practically lost this match on the first day, when, after being dismissed on a good wicket for 157 in three hours, they had 320 runs made against them in two hours and 25 minutes for the loss of only two wickets. Cook and Huddleston bowled finely, it is true, but poor batting was chiefly responsible for tho small total made by the visitors. Lewis batted 70 minutes for 37, but Deane was the only player who faced the bowling with any con­ fidence : he drove well on both sides of the wicket and with Woods put on 41 for the seventh wickct in 45 minutes. Lancashire lost Hornby at 25, but Tyldesley and Hartley obtained runs so freely that in 130 minutes they put on 295 runs for the second wicket. Of that number Tyldesley, who was caught at point off the last ball of the day, made 158 by faultless cricket: his off-drives were excellent, he hit to leg and cut well and made twenty-seven 4’s. Hartley played a more vigorous game than usual and at the end of the day carried out his bat for 132. Lancashire scored their first hundred runs in 50 minutes, their second in 45 and their third in 40. On the second day the total was increased to 558 in two hours and a-half, and then the innings was declared with only six men out. Hartley made 234 out of 541 in four hours and a-half, a left-handed catch at point sending him back. He made his runs well all round the wicket, hit twenty-nine 4’s and gave no chance. Sharp played a vigorous game, scoring 103 of the 175 runs added with Hartley for the third wicket in 100minutes. Driving brilliantly, ho hit twelve 4’s : his display was marred by only one chance—in the slips, when he had made 83. Lancashire made their runs so readily that tho innings of 55S lasted ten minutes under five hours. Somerset were in a hopeless position when they went in the second time, and were all out in a couple of hours for 153. Cook made his record for the match nine wickets for 108 runs.

Middlesex won by 92 runs. Although Tarrant, owing to an injured leg, was unable to bowl or even to field when Sussex went in, Middlesex had rather the better of the day’s play, completing their innings for 278 and getting six Sussex wickets down for 143. After Warner had been caught at third slip, Tarrant and Hendren added 63 for the second wicket in 40 minutes and Hearne (.1. W.) played sound cricket for 45 minutes for 31. Murrell failed, but Litteljohn played a most useful innings and put on 41 with Wormald, an old Etonian, and 56 with More, the old Oxonian. The last-named, home for a holiday from China, showed the best cricket of the day and made his 66 out of 98 in 65 minutes : he hit ten 4’s in his vigorous display and carried out his bat. Sussex lost Robert Relf to the first ball of the innings and had three wickets down for 42. Heygate, fortunately, was again in fine form and but for him the innings would pro­ bably have been over by the end of the day. In 70 minutes he scored 50, and he alone faced Mignon with any confidence : he made some capital strokes on the leg-side and hit seven 4’s. On Friday the last four wickets went down for 25, leaving Middle­ sex with a lead of 110. Fortune, it is but right to say, was not kind to the visitors, for Chaplin and Vincett were out to exceptionally fine catches, Cox played-on and Butt was bowled off his pads. With a lead of 110 Middlesex lost four wickets for 50, but Litteljohn kept Tarrant company whilst 81 were added in an hour .and Mignon and Hearne (J. T.) helped him to add 51 in 20 minutes and 61 in half- an hour for the ninth and tenth wickct respectively. Tarrant carried his bat through the innings for 140 made out of 262 in three hours and a-quartcr—a most valuable and meritorious display. He hit twenty 4’s and only one mistake—a catch to long-on when 65—could be urged against him. Sussex were sot 373 to win and in the last 65 minutes of the day lost four good wickets for 52—a very poor start. On Saturday the remaining players made a great effort, but the task was too much and Middlesex won as stated. In three hours and a quarter the last six wickets added 229. Cartwright played a sound and vigorous innings of 41 and was fifth out, at 136. Cox, however, showed the best cricket of the day, and while he was in a win for Sussex always seemed possible : he hit a 5 and eight 4’s during the 110 minutes he was in, and with the elder Relf added 65 for the sixth wicket.
