Cricket 1910

J u n e g, 1910. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. WORCESTERSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Worcester on June 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. The home side had good reason to be satisfied with the first day’s play in this match, seeing that they got rid of Lancashire in four hours for 202and replied with OS for three wickets. The feature of the day’s play was the excellent lob bowling of Simpson-Hay­ ward, which accounted for seven wickets at a cost of less than eight runs each—an admirable performance against so strong a side on a good wicket. There were only two stands of any note, Hartley and S>liarp adding 71 for the third wicket in an hour and Make­ peace and Whitehead putting on 48 for the sixth in 60 minutes. Worcestershire obtained runs so readily when they went in that H. K. Foster and Bowley made 80 for the first wicket in an hour; they sent up 50 in 30 minutes. G. N. Foster was bowled off his pad without a run, and at the end of the day Wor- ccsten-llire, with seven wickets in hand, were within 104 runs of their opponents’ total. On Friday the outstanding wickets added only 72 to the total, Luicashire being left with an unexpected lead of 32. The visitors before the day ended added materially to their advantage, scoring 391 for the loss of half their wickets. Hornby made only a dozen, but Hartley and Tyldesley put on 77 for the second wicket in 50minutes, and, after the fifth had fallen at ISO, MacLaren and Whitehead added 211 without being parted, the former carrying out his bat for 103 and the latter for 105. Both men played splendidly, and, in all, put on 260 for the sixth wickct in 150 minutes. MacLaren, the first to leave, hit twelve 4’s and Whitehead twenty. Neither bats­ man made a mistake, and their cricket was of a standard not often seen. When Hornby declared the innings closed, Worcestershire were left with about four hours and three-quarters in which to make 494—an almost impossible task even for such aside. In the time available they did excellently, making 335 for four wickets. Pearson and Bowley scored 85 for the opening partnership in 90 minutes, the latter (who hit seven 4’s) making 61 of the number, and after the second wicket had fallen at 118 II. K. Foster and Arnold put on 46 together for the third and tho former and his brother 124 for the fourth in SO minutes. H. K. Foster, missed when 9, batted two hours and three-quarters and hit a 6, a 5, and fifteen 4’s. Score and analysis W o r c e s t e r s h ir e . O. M. R. W . O. M. R. W.

Played at Coventry on June 4, 6 and 7. WEEK-END CRICKET. Warwickshire won by 22 runs. Lilley and Kinneir gave the home side a capi failstart in this match, scoring 121 together for the first wicket in 87 minutes. Both men played good cricket, but after they had been got rid of wickets fell so quickly that eight were down for 235. Quaife, who had been batting soundly, was then joined by Santall, and together the pair put on 107, of which number the latter made 64, when the innings closed for 367, Qnaife carried out his bat for 92- a fine innings, which contained eleven 4’s. Late in the innings Jayes split his finger badly, and was unable to take further part in the match. At the end of the day Wood and Knight made 44 for Leicestershire without being parted, and on Monday took the total to 99, when Knight played-on. Wood batted ad­ mirably for 64, and was second o u t-a t 125 : he hit nine 4’s. Whitehead and Turner, without making large scores, did well, and put on 63 for the third wicket. Coe made some good hits, but the brightest cricket was shown by Crawford, who made 64 of the last 85 runs in 63 minutes and carricd out his bat: he made several fine drives, gave no chance, and hit a 6 and ten 4’s. Going in again, Warwickshire lost Charlesworth and Baker for 32, after which Quaife, missed ere making a run, and Goodwin gave Kinneir useful support, so that, when play ceased, Warwickshire, with six wickets in hand, were 207 runs on. Kinneir was then 68 not out. Kinneir and Taylor made a good stand on the second day, the latter batting for an hour and 40 minutes for 44. Kinneir played a patient game and made his 94 out of 208 in three hours: his principal hits were twelve 4’s. The last five wickcts went down quickly, and Lilley, who went iu last owing to a damaged hand, did not receive a ball. Wanting 322 to win, and with four hours and a-quarter at their disposal, Leicestershire made a fine effort, being beaten by only 22 runs half-an-hour before time. Knight and Whitehead were out for a single, and, although Turner played well, four good men were out for 88. When bowling Whitehead, Foster smashed the leg stump. Then, however, Wood and Coe came together and in 100 minutes put on 175. The last five wickets went down for 37 and Warwickshire won as stated. Coe’s innings was a splendid one, and he deserved better support. He made his 12S in 115 minutes and hit two 6’s and twenty-two 4’s. The absence of Jayes handicapped Leicestershire considerably.
