Cricket 1910

238 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME J une 30, 1910. SURREY v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY, Played at the Oval on June 27 and 28. Surrey won by an innings and 80 runs. The play went altogether in favour of Surrey on Monday, the county scoring 405 and then getting rid of Braddell for 5. The wicket was quite easj', and Surrey, playing freely, scored their runs in just under three hours and a-ha’ f. Le Couteur, who is seen at his best on a fairly fast pitch, did not trouble the batsmen, his one wicket being taken at a cost of 82 runs. After Hayward aud Hayes had been got rid of for 6, Hobbs and Piggott put on 208 together in 110 minutes, both leaving at 214. Hobbs, who made 115 of his runs before lunch, obtained his score without a mistake in just over two hours, driving and pulling with great power and hitting nineteen 4’s. Piggott showed good form once he had settled down, while Altham made his 51 in 65 minutes and Ducat his 81 in 70. The last-named hit eleven 4’s and put on 07 with Altham. On the second morning Smith and Hitch on rather a soft wicket carried all before them, and brought the innings to a close for 48. When dismissing Sale, Smith obtained his 100th wicket of the season, he being the first player to reach that number this year. In the follow-on Hooman hit freely and well and reached 50 in just over an hour ; Braddell, although making only 21, helped to put on 87 in an hour after Evans, Pawson and Sale had been got rid for 19. Twining ran him ­ self out for 6 and Le Couteur, before he had scoied, played a ball on to his face and was obliged to retire. Hooman found another useful partner in Lagden, and together the pair added 85 for the sixth wicket in 40 minutes. During the stand the bowling was thoroughly collared, and the play was the brightest seen in the match. Hooman gave no chance during the 150 minutes he was in and hit fifteen 4’s, his driving being very powerful. The last three wickets added 51, but Surrey’s success was never in doubt.

T H E CR ICK ET Y E A R B03K . ONE PENNY. CON TAIN S : PHOTO GROUPS OF THE COUNTIES, KENT NOTES AND VARlA.. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, E.C. SUSSEX v. SOMERSET. Played at Brighton on June 27, 28 and 29. Sussex won by 287 runs. Sussex had by far the best of Monday’s play, scoring 276 in four hours and then getting five Somerset wickets down for 54. Heygate played a splendid innings and obtained his 71 out of 139 in two hours: he made no mistake and hit five 4’s Vine was in for less than an li jur and Relf (A. E.) also did well, but Cartwright, although in for about an hour and a-half, was obviously often uncomfort­ able. Somerset lost their first three wickets for 10, and but for Lewis (24 not out) and the Hon. M. Herbert (16 not out) m ight have collapsed com­ pletely. On the second morning the total was taken to 76, and then Herbert was caught at point, after having helped to put on 47 in 35 minutes. With Poyntz in another useful stand was made, 50 being added, but its worth to the side was somewhat discounted by the fact that the last three wickets went down for 14, the innings closing for 140. Lewis batted fur three hours for his valuable 70 and hit six 4’s. The wicket had recovered to a great extent when Sussex, leading by 136, went in again. Vine and Cartwright gave the side a good start by making 52 for the first wicket, and, after the former was lbw, the latter and Heygate added 84 in 80 minutes. Cartwright played flaw­ less cricket for 155 minutes and hit seven 4’s, mostly drives. Heygate made his 73 in 110 minutes by attractive methods and hit nine 4’s. Later Relf (A. E.) and Vincett put on 60 in lialf-an-hour, and with four wickets in hand the closure was applied, leaving Somerset 398 to win. In the last 30 minutes of the day 13 runs were made for the loss of Bisgood and Hardy, and yesterday the side collapsed so completely against Relf (A. E.) and Cox that the remaining eight wickets added less than a hundred runs. Score and analysis:— S u ssex . First innings. Relf (R. R.), b Lewis.......... 7 Vine, lbw, b White ...........35 R. B.

On an easy-paced wicket on Monday, Hampshire batted all the time available—five hours and a- quarter—for 409, although their second wicket went down at 31. Llewellyn and Mead added 41 in 20 minutes and the latter and Greig 58. Mead, fourth out (at 133), batted for two hours without a mistake. Brown hit freely and during the 80 minutes he was in helped to put on 143 for the fifth wicket. Greig, missed by Kinneir at slip when 72, scored 112 in 130 minutes and hit a dozen 4’s. After his departure Hill and Sprot added 51, and then the innings quickly ended. Showers on Tuesday morning caused the continuation of play to be delayed for 75 minutes, but Warwickshire made such good use of the rest of the time at their disposal that they scored 33<> in 2o0 minutes and afterwards got a Hampshire wicket (Stone’s) down for 8. Lilley’s batting was the feature of the d-«y’s play. lie scored well all round the wicket, and hit two 6’s and six 4’s, but was missed when 66 and 96. With Charlesworth he added 44, with Quaife 47 and with Baker 106 in 87 minutes. After he was out Foster played freely, hitting a 6 and seven 4’s during the 55 minutes he was in, and with Cowan adding 6t in half-an-hour. The re­ sumption of play was delayed yesterday by showers until three o ’clock. Hampshire took their total to 113 for three wickets and declaimed, leaving Warwick­ shire with 187 to make to win. A draw was almost assured, but Newman bowled with such success that the visitors came within an ace of defeat. Score and analysis:— H a m p s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.
