Cricket 1910

3 5 8 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 25 1910. WORCESTERSHIRE v. SUSSEX. Played at Worcester on August 18,19 and 20. Worcestershire won by one wicket. Leach, owing to a strain, was unable to play, and in consequence Sussex batted with only ten men on the first day, the services of another player not being obtainable in time. Vine and the younger Relf made 82 for the first wicket in an hour, the former, although scoring only 20 of the number, hitting a 6. Relf’s innings of 78 out of 132 in 90 minutes was a very attractive one which included a 0 and eight 4’s. Of the others only Killick and Jupp did much, the latter, who carried out his bat for 53, hitting eight 4’s. Worcestershire were given a splendid start by H. K. Foster and Bowley, who, afteracarefulopening, sentthree-figuresupinanhour and made 136 for the first wicket. Foster hit a 6, a 5 and ten 4’s, and Bowley obtained his 1,000th run of the season. Pearson failed, but at the end of the day Worcestershire, with seven wickets in hand, were only 122 runs behind. After heavy rain in the night, Worcestershire’s sixth wicket fell at 192, but a brilliant display by G. N. Foster enabled them to obtain a lead of 58 on the innings. Hitting freely and well, he reached 102 out of 139 in 80 minutes, and, in all, scored 129 out of 177 in 100 minutes and carried out his bat. He hit a 6 and twenty-five 4’s and of the 61 scored for the ninth wicket with Lyttelton claimed all but 6. Batting a sccond time, Sussex lost Robert Relf at 29 and Vine and Cox at 62, being then only 4 runs on with three men out. Chaplin and the elder Rclf improved matters by adding 96 in 70 minutes, the former playing an admirable and faultless innings of 103 which lasted two hours and a-quarter and contained a six and twelve 4’s. At the end of the day six wickets were down for 264. On Saturday the home side were set 234 to win, and, thanks to a superb display by Burns, made them with awicket to spare 13minutes before time. Bowley and Pearson were out for 29 and Arnold at 58. G, N. and H. K. Foster added 59 together by fine cricket, the former hitting eight 4’s in his 44. Cuffe, Crowe and Burrows left in quick succession, and Worcestershire, with only two wickets to fall, still required 67 to win. Lyttelton then stayed with Burns whilst 42 were added, and then Bale kept up his wicket whilst the remaining 25 were made. Burns finished the match with a m a g n ific e n t on-drive for six off the elder Relf.

Played at Harrogate on August 18,19 and 20. Drawn. Essex, with the exception of a fewminutes during which Yorkshire did not score, batted for the whole of Thursday, making 272—a good total considering that McGahey was away owing to a chill and that runs were nearly always hard to make. Douglas batted nearly three hours for 79 of the first 152 runs scored and was fourth out: he drove and hit to leg well once he had settled down, playing a freer game than usual. Turner helped him to add 89 in 95 minutes and Freeman 40. The remainder of the innings was marked by a good display on the part of Perrin, who scored 71 of the last 120 runs obtained in 100minutes. Driving with much power and cutting well, he hit a 6 and eight 4’s. Gilling­ ham also played a useful game, and, though scoring only 28, stayed whilst 70 were added for the fifth wicket in an hour. On the second day all the earlier tatsmen on the Yorksire side made double-figures, and it seemed as though Yorkshire would obtain a lead on the innings. In 45 minutes 47 runs were scored for the first wicket, and Wilson, who showed the best batting of the day, made 58'out of 114 in an hour and a-quarter ; he hit four 4’s. Following a delay owing to rain, both Rhodes and Hirst were out at 133. Bates then commenced his fine innings and, scoring 59 out of 100 in 110 minutes, saw the last five wickets fall. He played good, sound cricket and hit six 4’s. Myers’ valuable steadiness enabled 62 to be added for the sixth wicket, which fell at 195. Douglas, who was not put on until 165, took four of the last five wickets for 30 runs and had much to do with Essex’s lead of 39 on the innings. Going in the second time, Essex received a couple of overs from which they did not score. On the third day the start was delayed by showers for an hour, and when 26 had been made for two wickets the match was abandoned through rain. Score and analysis:— E s s e x . J. W. H. T.
