Cricket 1910

CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 16, 1910. MIDDLESEX v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on June 9, 10 and 11. Drawn. For their score of 361 on the first day, Middlesex were indebted much to luck, Tarrant being missed when 42 and 50 and Hendren when 39 and 58. For the blunders in the field a heavy price had to be paid, for the batsmen named, coming together when Warner was lobbed out at 21, put on 188 runs together in 140 minutes. Tarrant made his 142 out of 261 in 190minutes and hit seven­ teen 4’s, playing very freely indeed after reaching three-figures. Hendren, brilliantly caught with the right hand high up at slip, made a 6 and nine 4’s. At one time 260 runs were on the board with only two men out, but many of the later players shaped very crudely against Simpson-Hayward and the innings closed for 361. In the last 40 minutes of the day Pearson and Bowley made 29 together without being separated for Worcestershire. Rain prevented any play taking place on the following day. On the third morning the wicket was slow, quite different from what it had been on the Thursday. Against Hearne (J. T.) the batsmen appeared all but helpless as the wicket dried, but some excuse for their poor display can be found in the fact that the light was very poor at times. Hearne’s eight wickets cost only 34 runs—a great triumph for a bowler in his twenty-third season against such a side. Worcester­ shire followed-on, and naturally set themselves to play for a draw. Bowley was again seen to advantage, but the feature of the innings was the defensive cricket of Arnold and Simpson-Hayward. After batting for 50 minutes for a single the former hit a 3 and was derisively cheered : altogether, he was in 110 minutes for 11. Simpson-Hayward batted 50 minutes for 14.

This was the first meeting between the counties since 1906, and it was unfortunate that rain should have interfered with it to such an extent. On the first day only 29 runs were made for the loss of Hornby, smartly run out by Jessop, and on the second and third not a ball could be bowled, the match being abandoned with the score as follows:— L a n c a sh ir e .

Although no play was possible until three o’clock, the visitors gained a commanding lead on the first day, dismissing Glamorgan for 36 and making 96 for one wicket in an hour and three-quarters. Cuffe, in the course of 49 balls, took nine wickets for 5 runs ; he dismissed Ilacker, Symons and Rattenbury in four balls. Not a ball could be bowled on the second day, owing to rain, but on Wednesday the game was concluded. Creber, a left-hander, took his last six wickets for 10 runs.

Played at Leyton on June 9, 10 and 11. Essex won by ten wickets. E. J. Radcliffe, owing to an injury, was unable to captain Yorkshire, who were a purely professional side, led by Hirst : on the other hand the Essex team contained seven amateurs. The visitors quite failed to make the most of the good wicket upon going in after winning the toss, being all disposed of for the poor score of 152. Buckenham and Mead bowled excellently, the former’s pace proving too much for the majority of the side. Rhodes alone batted successfully, and he, fortunately for his side, stayed throughout the innings. He was at the wickets 155 minutes for his chanceless 85 and hit seven 4’s, his chief strokes being drives and to leg. Buckenham, who sent a bail 50 yards when bowling Wilson, took his last three wickets in five balls. Essex lost Fane at 3, Perrin at 21 and Gillingham at 36. Freeman then joined Douglas and a good stand was made, the pair putting on 79 together in 70 minutes. Douglas was then lbw for 57 made out of 115 in 123 m inutes: he hit eight 4’s and made some forcible strokes once he had thoroughly settled down. Freeman also hit eight 4’s during the 70 minutes he was in, and after he had been caught at the wicket McGaliey and K. Gibson put on 32 without being parted, Essex, when stumps were drawn, being 10 runs on with half their wickets in hand. Not a ball could be bowled on Friday, but play was able to be resumed at the usual time on the follow­ ing morning. For some time the pitch was easy— a fact of which the batsmen were not slow to avail themselves. K. Gibson was out with 15 added, and, after he had left, his cousin helped McGahey to put on 49 more. McGahey batted two hours for his sound and most useful 68 and hit six 4’s. The innings lasted 260 minutes and gave the home side a lead of 125. Under the influence of a strong sun the wicket had gradually been becoming more difficult, and Yorkshire’s position was a very precarious one. Hirst, Rhodes and Drake all batted resolutely, but in three hours the innings was over for 130. Mead made his record for the match seven wickets for 75 runs, and Tremlin also bowled with much skill.
