Cricket 1910

3 5 6 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 25, 1910. SOMERSET v. SURREY. Played at Taunton on August 18, 19 and 20. Surrey won by 131 runs. Gaining first innings, Surrey scored 238 in three hours and a-half on Thursday and got four Somerset wickets down for (50 by the end of the day. The pitch assisted the attack somewhat, and Surrey’s total was, all things considered, a good one. Lewis bowled splendidly, but received poor support. After Hayward, Campbell and Bird were out for 24, Hayes and Ducat added 68 in 55 minutes, but at 92 half the wickets were down—all taken by Lewis for 25 runs. Each of the last four wickets added over 30, and a total of 238 was obtained. Ducat played admirably for 105 minutes without a mistake and hit a 6 and eight 4’s, and Leveson-Gower obtained 44 quickly off some rather tired bowling later. Somerset lost their fourth wicket at 31, but during the last 40 minutes Daniell and Braund added 29 without being parted. Altogether they put on 53 in an hour ere the latter was caught at slip. Daniell remained to score 49in 145minutes, hitting seven 4’s, and Robson was in for over an hour for 43. Hitch took eight wickets in the innings for just under 10 runs each and made a catch off Smith. Hayward and Hobbs opened Surrey’s second innings together, and had made 53 in half-an-hour when the latter was caught for 40, which included three 6’s and five 4’s. Hayes helped to add 49 for the second wicket, and Campbell 77 for the third in an hour. Hayward was then caught-and-bowled by Braund for 58, an innings which lasted nearly two hours and contained a 6 and four 4’s. Campbell, driving with much power, hit ten 4’s in making 69 in 80 minutes. Bird (missed when 15) subsequently hit hard, and, when play ceased for the day, Surrey had made 342 for nine wickets in three hours and a-half. The innings was declared closed first thing on Saturday, leaving Somerset 411 to win with a whole day before them. Hardy and Daniell gave the side a good start, making 96 for the first wicket in an hour and a-half. Their partnership was interrupted by rain, which caused a long wait. Johnson was out without a run added, and then Samson and Hardy took the total to 167 ere the latter was bowled for 79, made in two hours and a-quarter. Lewis did little, and at 214 Samson was run out after batting 80 minutes for 61. The last five wickets fell for 65, and Surrey won by 131 runs. Score and analysis:— S u r r e y . First innings.

Played at Haarlem on August 7. Holland won by 33 runs. Neither side was at full strength for this match, many good players being away on their holidays. The Dutch team was composed entirely of home-born men, but Belgium, where the natives started playing only five years ago, included some Englishmen in their side. The ground had been under water a week before and was slow in consequence. Van Loon, a young player, scored .34 by excellent cricket. Score and analysis:— B elgium . First innings. Second innings. R.

Behrend did not bat. KENT v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Dover on August 18 and 19. THE DOVER WEEK. Kent won by ten wickets. A8the result of some curiously uneven batting on the first day, Kent scored 381 in three hours and 40 minutes. After a first-wicket partnership which produced 56 in half-an-hour, Humphreys and Sey­ mour put on 205 together in twohours. The former, the first to leave, made 130 out of 261 in 150minutes and hit fifteen 4’s: scoring well all round, especially to the on, he offered only one chance—when 11. Hutchings left first ball, and Woolley stayed long enough to make his 1,000th run of the season : he had previously obtained over 100 wickets. Seymour received poor support, and carried out his bat when the innings closed: he made 155 out of 325 in 190 minutes by delightful cricket, hit twenty-one 4’s, and offeredacouple of chances—when 34 and 37. In the last 0 minutes of the day Hampshire made 91 for four wickets (Mead, 48 not out). There was heavy rain in the night followed by bright sunshine, and the visitors found it to be their best policy to hit. Mead, missed ere adding a run, did well and with Brown added 55 in 35 minutes. Mead made his 95 out of 173 in 130 minutes and hit a dozen 4’s. Sprot also did well, and hit Blythe out of the ground the ball before that which bowled him. In the follow-on Kennedy, Bowell, Johnston and Mead were all out for 40, and it was only a timely stand by Llewellyn and Sprot which saved the side from a complete collapse. Together they added 115 for the seventh wicket in 40 minutes, 60 being put on in 17 minutes and 100 in 35. Llewellyn, hitting six 6’s and ten 4’s, made 91 out of 134 in 57 minutes—a vigorous display which was deservedly popular. Five of his 6’s were made off Blythe, and he reached his 50 out of 61 in half-an- hour. Kent were set 4 to win, and won by ten wickets. Score and analysis: — K e n t .
