Cricket 1910

35 ° CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 18 1910. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Nottingham on August 15,16 & 17. Notts won by 301 runs. Winning the toss, McGahey sent Notts in and saw the side run up a total of 315in four hours. It was a very good performance on the part of the home side, and did not prove McGahey’s policy wrong. Jones and George Gunn obtained 112 runs for the first wicket in 00 minutes, the former, who hit a 6 and ten 4’s, claiming 87 of the number, made by faultless cricket. Subsequently George Gunn and Hardstaff added 49 in 50 minutes and John Gunn and James Iremonger 46 in 45minutes. In the last 35 minutes of the day Essex made 20 for the loss of Perrin. Douglas was soon out on Tuesday, but Tremlin and Turner added 55 in 55 minutes, the former batting 70 minutes for his 42. Neither Gillingham nor Gibson made a run, but Turner’s fine play prevented a collapse. The last-named put on 58 in 55 minutes with McGahey, 44 with Russell and 65 with Reed, and, when the innings closed for 250, carried out his bat for 111. He was let off when 61 and 83, and hit ten 4’s during the 210 minutes he was in. It was a most useful innings, but not one in which he was seen at his best. Leading by 65, Notts scored 144 for two wickets in the last 115 minutes of the day, and were therefore 209 runs on with eight wickets in hand when stumps were drawn. Jones, rather lucky, scored 45 out of 52 in 40 minutes, and then Gunn (G.) and Payton by good cricket added 84 in 65 minutes, the former being 47 not out when play ceased. Yesterday George Gunn found a capital partner in Oates, and 109 were added before the former was caught for 98 after batting two hours 55 minutes and hitting eleven 4’s. Hardstaff made but a single, and after Alletson had scored 20 out of 31 the innings was declared, leaving Essex four hours and a-quarter in which to make 346. Oates carried out his bat for a useful, though lucky, effort of 63, which lasted an hour and a-half. Essex collapsed in startling fashion against Iremonger (J.) and Gunn (G.) for 44 and sustained a very heavy defeat. The former, bowling unchanged through the innings, had remarkable figures.

SUSSEX. Played at Bath on August 15, 16 and 17. Sussex won by nine wickets. Batting the whole of the first day, Sussex scored 387 for six wickets in five hours. For*their very satisfactory total they owed much to Robert Relf and Vine, who made 272 of the number and scored 208 together for the first wicket in three hours. Vine offered no chance, but was at times very slow : he hit eight 4’s. Robert Relf found another good partner in his brother, with whom 112 were added for the fourth wicket in 75 minutes. The younger player madehis 194in four hours and three-quarters, but was missed twice—when 72 and 170. His off- driving was excellent, and his chief hits were two 6’s and twenty-three 4’s. On the second morning 57were added before the last wicket fell, the innings lasting six hours and realising 444. Somerset made a very poor start, three wickets being down for 23at lunch and half the side being out for 67. Braund made 35 in half an hour, but the sixth wicket fell at 98. After he left Johnson carried the side on his shoulders, and of the last 166 runs made by the side scored 98 and carried out his bat. He added 44with Daniell, 31 with Salmonson, 57 with Joy and 34with Taylor. His runs were made in 110 minutes, and he hit a 6 and nine 4’s. In the follow-on Somerset lost Paul and Hardy for 47 by the time play ceased. After a delay of half-an-hour owing to rain early yesterday morning, Samson, Daniell and Braund were all got rid of in quick succession, half the side then being out for 66. Lewis helped Johnson to add 29 before being brilliantly caught-and-bowled by Leach, but the stand of the innings was made by the latter and Robson. There weremany changes in bowling, but the partnership for the seventh wicket realized 118before Robson was caught at the wicket. The runs were added in 90 minutes. As in the first innings the tail just proved unequal to stay long enough to enable Johnson to reach three-figures. Sussex were left with only 32 to win, and obtained them for the loss of Cox.
