Cricket 1910

220 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 23, 1910, SURREY v. LANCASHIRE. Played at the Oval on June 20 and 21. Surrey won by seven wickets. Some surprising cricket was seen in this match on Monday, seventeen wickets going down for 281 runs 011 a pitch which gave the bowlers 110 assistance whatever. The advantage when play ceased, clearly rested with Lancashire, who, after scoring 106, got down seven Surrey wickets for 115 runs. Disasters soon began to overtake the batsmen, for Spooner, after being beaten twice, was bowled in the second over and at the same total Hartley was caught at the wicket. Sharp was beaten after making 5, and when he left Lancashire had lost three good wickets in half-an-hour for 23 runs. The Tyldesleys, having carefully played themselves in, effected an improvement, and “ J. T.” reached 50 with the total 92 after batting 95 minutes. The stand for the fourth wicket added a most valuable 72 and then Tyldesley (W.) was caught at third man. MacLaren scored 17 and helped to aid 40 for the fifth wicket, and then he and his partner left at the same total. Tyldesley (J. T.) scored 69 out of 126 in 135 minutes by excellent crick et: he hit a 5 and eight 4’s and was the only player to show any mastery over the attack. In the innings of 166 Knox bowled splendidly and deserved his figures. Surrey commenced batting against Whitehead and Dean, and when 24 had been made without loss Sharp was put on for the former. With only 2 added Hobbs was caught at the wicket off Sharp, who bjw led Hayward niue runs later. At 37 Harrison was lbw, aud following his dismissal Bush and Bird put on 22. When Abel was caught at m id-on half the side were out for 65, and three later Davis also was caught. At this point Sharp, who had been keeping a fine length and maintaining a good pace, fell lame in the middle of an over and was obliged to leave the field—a most unfortunate occurrence for Lancashire. Smith defended 40 minutes for 4 runs and at the end of the day Knox and Bush put on 15 without being parted. The latter carried out his bat for 36, but should have been caught at slip by Tyldesley (J. T.) when 35. On Tuesday the not-outs made a determined stand, their partnership for the eighth wicket realising altogether 75. Capt. Bush, in second wicket down and ninth out, made SS at the rate of one a minute and hit a 6 and eleven 4’s. He was, however, missed as stated when 35 and the mistake proved most costly. In their second innings Lancashire were dismissed by Knox and Lees for 127 in just under two hours and a-half on a wicket which cannot be held responsible for such a poor total. Whitehead made some fine hits, but the batting lacked resolu­ tion and was not worthy of the side. Knox main­ tained a fine pace throughout, and by taking part in the longest stand of the match and taking a dozen wickets had the chief share in the success of his side. Surrey were left with only 99 to win, and lost Hayward, well caught at the wicket, at 23, and Hobbs and Harrison in one over from Dean at 35. There was then still hope for Lancashire, but Bush and Bird, coming together, obtained the balance of the runs required without further loss by excellent cricket. It will be seen that Capt. Bush made 121 runs in the match for once out. Thus did Lancashire, due in a large measure, be it remembered, to the breakdown of Sharp, meet with their first defeat of this season.

AND GROUND v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Played at Lord’s on June 20 and 21. Oxford University won by 88 runs. Although without Evans and Salter, Oxford had all the best of the first day’s play in their match from home, completing their innings for 254 and then getting rid of the home side for 1C8. The day’s cricket was a triumph for Le Couteur, who scored 73—the highest score for either side—and took six wickets for 22 runs in eitrht overs, lie made his ruus in 65 mjnutes, and with I.agden, who was missed twice in scoring his first 12 runs, put on 75 for the sixth wicket. Braddell, who made 60 out of 109, also played wrell. Tho M.C.C.’s batting wras disappointing, only Wynyard, who scored 35 out of 77, making as many as 20. He was fifth out, and when he was bowled the ball struck Pawson in the eye so that he was obliged to retire from the gam e: his place behind the wicket was taken by Twining. On the second morning a close finish at one time seemed probable, for Oxford, going in again, had six wickets down for 57. Then, however, Hooman and Vidler came together and put on 73. The former batted 100 minutes for his excellent 74 and hit ten 4's. Vidler drove well and was last out. Left with 320 to win, the M.C.C. never seemed likely to make the runs, and, although G. N. Foster hit up 43 in 27 minutes, the sixth wicket went down at 112. By free cricket Gannon and Baird then added 76, but in the end the University won by 88 runs. In the whole match Le Couteur took eleven wickets for 99 runs. Score and analysis:— O x f o r d U n iv e r s it y . First innings. R. H. Twining, lbw, b Llew­ ellyn ..................................
