Cricket 1910

338 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t i 8 , 1910. “ At the Oval, in 1900, in the Easter Monday match between London County and Surrey. The weather was very unkind, and more than onoe the play was interrupted by rain and snow. The only wicket I took cost 74 runs, but Dr. Grace told the Surrey authorities that I could bowl much better than they might judge from the analysis. The result was I was given a trial for Surrey second against Essex second at Leyton. Getting a few wickets —one with my first ball and, I think, three altogether—I was a-ked to play for the county in tbe following week. At Leicester I was twelfth man, but at Derby I played and took five wickets for seven runs, although my analvsis for the innings was five for 50. In 1901 I joined the ground-staff at the Oval.” “ What do you consider your best bowling performance? ” “ When I took six wickets for 27 runs on a good wicket against the Australians at the Oval five years ago. The spectators were so pleased that a collection amounting to £45 was made for me. It is curious that in each of the two matches I have played against the Australians I should have taken twelve wickets for 124 runs. Another somewhat remarkable coincidence is that, although I bave never previously taken as many as a hundred wickets in first-class cricket in a season I have. ;np,w obtained double tbe number, and that my only century in a match of much note should also exceed 200.” “ What was the match in which you made that score ? ” “ For Surrey 2nd XI. against Buckingham­ shire at Beigate the year before last. I batted about an hour for my first 50 runs, and then made the other 151 in 70 minutes. Harrison made 121 in the same innings and we put on 274 runs in an hour and three- quarters.” “ You have occasionally had to bat at a very critical time ? ” “ In our match with Kent at the Oval five years ago I went in when seven wickets were down and 24 runs were wanted. I got 21 of them and was last out—caught at cover- point off a skier when the game was a tie. Whilst Murrell stood waiting for the catch he very carefully rubbed both his hands on his trousers so that he should not drop it, and Blythe, knowing that Murrell was a sure catch, started for tbe pavilion whilst the ball was in the air, remarking “ This is the first tie-match I have ever played in ! ” But th:'s month’s match with Middlesex was quite as exciting. We had been set 79 to win, and on a treacherous wicket had lost seven men for 39 when I went in. All our best men had gone, and I thought that the best thing to do would be to make a good hit or two—if I could stay long enough. That I did, and when I had been given a life or two it seemed that the game was not over after all. Again I stayed until the scores were level: then Jack Hearne bowled me, but this time there were two more wickets in reserve. Eventually a couple of byes gave Surrey the match.” 6th Military Division made 521 for eight wickets, innings declared closed, in three hours and a-quarter v. Phoenix, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on August 5 and 6. Lieut. Furber scored 152in 80 minutes, and with Lieut. Ramsden (69) added 208 for the second wicket. Phoenix were dismissed for 99 and 176and beaten by an innings and 246 runs. W. Warren bowled down four wickets with consecutive balls for Brunswick v. Lewisham Wanderers at Herne Hill on August 13.
