Cricket 1910

204 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 16, 1910. SURREY v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at the Oval on June 13, 14 and 15. Surrey won by 35 runs. The visitors had decidedly the best of Monday’s play, getting rid of Surrey for 224 and replying with 157 for three wickets. Surrey gained no advantage in winning the toss: in fact the ball came along in truer fashion in the late afternoon than during the first two or three hours of play. Both Hayward and Hobbs were bowled in trying to turn a straight ball to leg, and at 43 Ducat also was out. Harrison and Bird afterwards added 70 together, the former, who showed a sound defence, batting an hour for 39. Bird played a free, bright and vigorous game for 77, and hit eight 4’s during the hour and a-half he was in. The Worcestershire batsmen appeared to find little difficulty in the bowling, but H. K. Foster’s 70 not out was the chief cause of their good position at the end of the day. With Bowley he put on G3, but when he was 26 he was missed in the slips off Smith. Tuesday’s play was somewhat uneventful, but always interesting. H. K. Foster added only a few to his over-night score, and it was left to Cuffo and Simpson-Hayward to give their side the lead on the innings. For being headed, however, Surrey’s poor catching was largely responsible, but Smith’s analysis was excellent considering the wicket and the strength of the opposition. By consistent batting Surrey made 261 in their second innings, the feature of their play being the batting of Hayward, who was at the wicket for 115 minutes for 75, made out of 137 whilst in. With Hobbs he made 40 for the first wicket and with Harrison added 67 for the second. The only other outstand­ ing feature of the innings was the successful lobbing of Simpsou-Hayward. In the last few minutes of the day Worcester scored 2 without loss. Yesterday Bowley and Arnold made such headway that the total was up to 62 before the former was out, and the good work was continued when Arnold and H. K. Foster came together. The cricket was always keen, Smith especially bowling well. At 110, however, Arnold was bowled l»y Lees, and that, as it happened, marked the beginning of the end. A t 128 Llitch obtained his first success by dismissing G. N. Foster, and in the course of 37 balls took five wickets for 9 runs, quite changing the aspect of the game. Cuffe stayed for some time for 15, but Surrey pulled off the mat^h before half-past three by 55 runs. Score and analysis :— S u r r e y . First innings.

Somerset were outplayed to such an exten I on Monday that, after being dismissed for 115, they had 231 runs made against them for the loss of only four wickets. Mignon and Heame (J. W.) were chiefly responsible for the state of things, the former taking seven wickets for six runs a-piece and the latter cari-ying out his bat for 120. Somerset batted on a wicket that was rather dead, but certainly not so difficult as their score would suggest. Only Spring and Bisgood reached double-figures. Mid­ dlesex also started badly, Warner and Tarrant both being out for 4. It was at that point that Hearne (J. W.) went in and commenced his first three- figure innings for his county. In two hours and three-quarters he made 120 out of 227, driving splendidly on both sides of the wicket and placing skilfully to leg. Be might have been caught at the wicket when 69 but offered no other chance. With Littcljolin he added 94 and with Robertson 100 without further loss. In all, the fifth wicket put on 191 in 110 minutes. Hearne (J. W.)was then bowled for 155, an innings which contained twenty 4’s. He hit well all round, and, taking many risks on Tues­ day, was let off when 134 and 150. Kobcrtson stayed until he had made 115 out of 2^9 in 130 minutes ; lie hit eleven 4’s, but was missed when 46 and 53. With the total 417 for nine wickets the innings was closed, leaving Somerset with over 300 to get in order to save the innings defeat. For their position their poor fielding was largely responsible, several catches being missed. In their second iunings Braund was soon out, and only Hardy, who batted skilfully for 90 minutes, did’ much. The last five wickets went down for 36 runs, and Hearne(J. W.) took five wickets for 28.

Playetl at Cambridge on June 13, 14 and IS. Cambridge University won by nine wickets. For the first time this season Yorkshire were cap* tained by Lord Hawke. Neither Rhodes nor New­ stead was playing, but the County nevertheless had much good bowling at command. The batting of the home side was very even, five players exceeding the half-century and the highest score being 63 : further­ more, the longest stand of the innings was only 76 by Collins and Hughes for the seventh wicket. Collins batted steadily for a couple of hours, but Hughes played a free game, and Falcon, in making 63, hit ten 4’s. Mann also played bright cricket, and punished Myers for four 4’s and a single in the course of an over. At the end of the day Yorkshire made 9 runs for the loss of Badcliffe. When the game was continued the County fared badly, losing half their wickets for 75. Myers, fortunately for the side, scored well, but, despite his effort, the follow-on could not be saved. Cowie, the old Carthusian fast bowler, took five wickets for 64. Going in again, Yorkshire, thanks to Hirst and Myers, who put on 188 together in 135 minutes, after three wickets had fallen for 39, were seen to much greater advantage. Myers played a most valuable defensive game, and Hirst gave his best display for some time. The latter m ight have bcon caught at square-leg when 74, but gave no other chance, aud at the end of the day, when five wickets were down for 246, carried out his bat for 141. Yesterday he was caught at short-leg after adding 17. During the 175 minutes he was in he hit twenty-three 4’s and only 20 singles, and offered but the one chance mentioned. Broadbent and Drake added 24 and the latter and Lord Hawke 20, the University being set 147 to win. A fine stand by Nason andTufnell, who made 122 for the first wicket, put the result beyond doubt, and after the latter was out the remaining runs were made without further loss.
