Cricket 1911

460 CEICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, A u g u s t 26, 1911. is of sim ilar length. W arwickshire’s revival has been the event of the season, and, should they finish at the top of the table, great would be the rejoicing all Over the country. It was a delightful match at the Oval last week-end. A ll the Yorkshirem en in town were there and some I met who had actually journeyed from the North for this match. There is nothing like such enthusiasm in tbe South. Yorkshirem en do believe in York­ shiremen. And the crow- s rolled up just as if the two counties had been in tbe running for the Championship. It was a sincere pleasure to me to exchange a few words with Surrey's old leader, John Shuter, who was an *• ideal captain ” if ever there was one. And I had as neighbour an old cricketer whose name did not transpire, but who had known the Oval alm ost from the day when it was transformed from a huge kitchen garden into Surrey’s head-quarters. How we did travel over the years of long ago. If this should meet his eye, I should like to tbank him for a most delightful afternoon. T he feature of this match was the batting of the older hands on both sides. H ayw ard I have already m entioned; as in all his greatest innings every ball was played bard along the ground, save when he three times lifted it out of the field. H ayes is another “ old-un,” as cricketers go; and so are Rhodes, H irst and Denton, who were Yorkshire’s chief scorers. None of these men can be spared yet. Denton’s catch which got rid of H a\ ward was worth going m iles to see. Fan cy Hayward scoring nearly two runs to H ayes’s one ! The Yorkshire batting on the first day was laboured, as if their recent failure at Leicester haunted them. It was a triumph for Surrey to go in against a total of 372 and pass it by 168. Yorkshire were very fortunate last week to carry home two points from their matches with Middlesex and Surrey, for in another hour both these points would have been cancelled. Query. If W arwickshire beat Lancashire by an innings and 40 runs, and in the same week Lancash ire beat Middlesex by 83 runs, then m ay not Middlesex thank their stars that they have not to play W arwickshire ?
