Cricket 1910

A u g u s t i i , 1910 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 SURREY v. MIDDLESEX. Played at the Oval on August 4, 5 and 6. Surrey won by two wickets. Rain restricted the duration of play on Thursday to three hours and a-half, during which Middlesex, fortunate to win the toss, made 211 for five wickets. On a fast wicket Crutchley and Tarrant made 87 in 80 minutes for the first partnership, and both wore run out. Tarrant hit well all round the wicket and was third out, at 112. Murrell, missed ere scoring, batted for 70 minutes and put on 53 for the fourth wicket with Warner, and during the last half hour of the day Harper and Saville, the captain of Uppingham and an old Marlburian respectively, batted in capital style and carried out their bat. Rain interfered sadly with play on the second day and marred the pleasure and comfort of the spec­ tators. In 50 minutes Middlesex lost their last five wickets for 42 runs, Smith and Hayes bowling well on the soft pitch and being well supported in the field. As the wicket was, Surrey had a heavy task before them, and it would not have come as a sur­ prise if they had collapsed and been obliged to follow-on. At 4 Hobbs was caught at mid-off, and at lunch the total was 21 for one wicket. After the interval the bowlers held the upper hand, five wickets falling for the addition of only 19 runs. Then followed a delay of 100minutes owing to rain, after which Fayes, in a poor light, hit freely and well. He lost Smith at 50, but with Hitch, who played a quieter game than usual, he saved the follow-on, and in the last hour and a-quarter of the day the pair added 105 without being parted aud without a mistake, Hayes being 81 and Hitch 41. In all, they made 130 together for the eighth wicket without a chance. Hayes made his 88 out of 164 in three hours and a-quarter and hit six 4’s, whilst Hitch scored 74 of the 160 obtained during the two hours and a-half he was in and hit a 6and eight 4’s, carrying out his bat. The wicket was much in favour of the attack, but the complete collapse of Middlesex against Smith and Hayes came as a sur­ prise. In half-an-hourhalf the side wore actuallyout for 18, and in 75 minutes the innings was over for 41. Smith took six wickets for 16 runs, at one period obtaining six. for seven. Surrey were set 79 to win, and it was recognised that the task was a heavy one, as the wicket was. Ilcarne (J. T.) was in his best form and got rid of Hobbs, Hayes and Bush for 13. Hayward and Ducat madea hopeful stand, but seven wickets were down for 89 when Smith joined Leveson-Gower. The new-comer was plucky but lucky, being missed badly more than once—the first time when 3. The pair sent up 50 in 78minutes, and were together until the scores were level, when Smith was bowled. With Strudwick in 2 byes gave Surrey the game. Leveson-Gower played a splendid game, and during the latter part of his innings was obliged to have the services of a runner. He and Smith and Hayes were loudly cheered.

As the result of some even cricket on the first day the homo side completed an innings for 223 ami Sussex scored 99 for three wickets. Knight, who made the highest score of the day, was missed before making a run. He put on 67 for the second wicket with Whitehead and was sixth out for 65, which included six 4’s. It was a most valuable innings. Nine men were out for 172, but Sturman and Hazle­ rigg added 51 in 40 minutes, taking the total to 223, which took three hours and a-half to make. Vine and Robert Relf made a fine stand for Sussex, scoring 92 f >r the first wicket in 90 minutes. The latter played free and faultless cricket for 60, and hit five 4's. When rain stopped play three men were out for 99. The visitors had reason to be satisfied with what they did on Friday, seeing that their seven outstanding wickets added 207 runs and that they got rid of four good Leicestershire men for 132(Whitehead 64 not out). The total was but 194when the eighth wicket fell, but Cox then defended whilst Vincett hit, the result being that in an hour the pair added 106, of which number the latter made 77. Vincett hit three 6’s and eight 4’s, hitting superbly. Leicestershire, in their second innings, lost Wood and Knight for 41, after which Whitehead aind Turner put on 63 together in an hour. At the end of the day Leicestershire, with six wickets in hand, were only 49 runs ou, and on Saturday the total was increased by 121, Crawford and Shipman hitting brilliantly. With 171 to ^rin, Sussex made a very poor start, losing the younger Relf and Killick for 10. Vine and Heygate, how­ ever, put on 04 in an hour, the last-named hitting six 4’s in his capital 40. There were some anxious moments later, and but that Leach was missed twice in making 24 not out the result might then have been different. Score and analysis:— L e ic e s t e r s h ir e .
