Cricket 1911

416 CE ICKET : A W EEK LY KECORD OF THE GAME. A ugust 1 2 , 1 9 1 1 . Australian team, especially as he possesses an additional qualifica­ tion in being left-handed. Surrey’s five centuries last week were conspicuous even in this year of huge scores. Hayward must have regretted that his damaged leg gave him no chance of swelling the list. It was the second time in the present season that three Surreyites have notched a century in the same innings, and no batsman’s name crops up in both these innings. Up to Abel’s retirement his name figured whenever Surrey had three century scorers. Poor Somerset! Hopelessly down, I fear. Nearly every county has done what Surrey did last week. On the other hand, never forget that Somerset is the only county to notch three centuries in one innings against Yorkshire, and this they did twice, in 1892 and 1901. In Yorkshire’s three wonderful seasons, 1900, 1901 and 1902, when they lost only two matches out of 80, Somerset were their conquerors both times. The break-down in the Notts’ batting at Hull was inexplicable after their recent heavy scores. When did Hirst play so insignificant a part in a Yorkshire victory? In two innings he scored one run and took one wicket! Does the responsibility of captaincy handicap him ? The mention of Notts reminds me that it is Bank Holiday, and I must be off to the Oval, although I had sooner be at Sheffield to shout when Rhodes leaves the pavilion. But we can send him our heartiest wishes and—-something else, perhaps. Canterbury and its delightful memories must wait until next week. By their two victories last week, against Sussex and Worcestershire, Kent seem certain to retain the Championship for another season. Whether they do or not, we are all of opinion that they are the greatest cricketing county, almost on a level with the Surrey of Lohmann’s time and with Yorkshire during their invincible seasons.

The /Vlinor Counties, NORTH AND EAST DIVISION. We have to thank the Hon. Secretary of a Minor County club for the suggestion that a column or so of Minor County averages each week from now to the end of the season would be likely to win appreciation. It is with great regret that we have been obliged to forego the attempt to give the bowling averages. Missing analyses have made it quite impossible to work them out. But we present hereunder the averages to August 5 inclusive of the leading batsmen in the North and East Division— in which the Championship is much farther advanced than in the South and West, some counties having almost completed their programmes—and a statement of the number of wickets taken by the leading bowlers. Besides the Minor Counties Championship matches, the follow­ ing games, which may all be considered as on the same plane, are in clu d ed S ta fford sh ire v. Yorkshire, Staffordshire v. Glamorgan (not a Championship match, though one leading paper did gravely announce that Staffordshire won three points for a first innings’ lead !), Durham, Northumberland and Lincolnshire v. the All-Indian Team, Herts v. M.C.C. at Bushey, and Norfolk v. Mr. L. Kobinson’s Eleven. BATTING AVERAGES. (Compiled to August 5, inclusive). Kent Messenger Cricket Souvenir, 1911'. A Pictorial Becord of Maidstone’s Cricket Week.
