Cricket 1911

440 CEICKET : A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 19,1911. Y o r k s h i r e . — Lord Hawke, Pinder, Freeman, Emmett, Hirst, Rhodes, Ephraim Lockwood, Ulyett, Brown, F. S. •Tackson, Tunnicliffe. (Denton is a better batsman than Tunnicliffe, but we must have the latter in the slips to the fast bowlers ; whereas U lyett could take Denton’s place in thelong-field.) L a n c a s h ir e . — A. N. Hornby, Pilling, Barlow, A. G. Steel. Mold, Briggs, A. C. MacLaren, Spooner, John Tyldes­ ley, Sharp, V. K. Royle (the latter chiefly for his fielding, which has never been surpassed, if equalled). Would that we could see these elevens doing battle for their respective counties. O d d s a n d E n d s . —Notts.’ sojourn in the South resulted in disaster— no point out of a possible ten ; they must have longed for the more exhilarating atmosphere of the Trent. And Kent fared little better, taking only one point out of Hampshire and Lancashire ; and on their native heath, Can­ terbury of all places, where they have usually sent back all comers, sadder, if wiser. One of the curiosities of the present season was the batting failure of several counties who had choice of innings on a perfect wicket last week-end, whilst in every case their opponents scored well. Neither Kent, Surrey, Notts., nor Yorkshire recovered from their disastrous start. Yorkshire indeed went from bad to worse. The following contrasts speak for themselves :—Surrey 112, Middlesex 328 ; Notts 154, Essex 326 ; Kent 156, Lancashire 429 ; Yorkshire 153, Leicestershire 220. This last figure was sufficient to give the Midlanders a one-innings victory, thanks to some wonderful bowling by King— 8 wickets for 17 runs. Bravo, Leicestershire ! Fancy Rhodes getting the spectacles for the first time in a championship match ; and this in almost the most successful batting season he has ever had. By-the-by, what funny reading it makes at this distance that in 1898 Yorkshire were undecided as to whether Rhodes or Oordingley should be drafted into the county eleven ; fortunately no mistake was made. But there was a time when Fry was not thought good enough to be a fixture in the county of his birth ; and did not Lockwood, who was on his day a deadlier fast bowler than even Richardson, get the cold shoulder from his county ? It would make a capital article to give a list of the cricketing cast-offs who had their subsequent revenge either as batsmen or bowlers. MONMOUTH v.

Played at Edgbaston on August 10 , 1 1 and 12 and won by Warwickshire by 165 runs. Against some successful bowling by Forester, the home side were dismissed in their first inninus for 170, only Stephens, who hit seven 4’s in m aking 53 out of 75 in 50 minutes, doing him self justice. At one point Derbyshire seemed likely to secure a long lead, their first wicket realizing Cl and their second 88, but the rest did little against Foster and Field. Chapman, who played a fine forcing game, made 73 out of 116 in 80 minutes and hit ten 4’s. W arwickshire gave a vastly improved display upon going in the second time. Foster, m aking a 6 and a dozen 4’s, claimed 70 of the 104 runs put on in 70 m inutes with Quaife for the fourth wicket, and Baker assisted the same player to add 98 for the fifth while Sm ith helped to increase the score by 9 1 for the sixth and Parsons by 73 for the seventh. Quaife batted for four hours and a half without a m istake and hit fourteen 4's. Derbyshire never appeared likely to pull off the game, Foster, who at one period bowled an hour for 8 runs and four wickets, being in his best form with the ball. During the third afternoon some excitement was caused owing to the stand catching fire, but a few buckets of water soon removed any suggestion of danger. Score and an aly sis:— First innings.
