Cricket 1911

484 CEICKET : A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. S e p t . 2, 1911. and moreover took six wickets in the second innings, the whole 17 costing only 54. In 1906 he had in three successive matches 18 wickets at a cost of only 68, including seven for six v. Launceston. Naturally he was played for Devon as soon as qualified, and he did fine work for the county team— 42 wickets at 14'45 each in 1906, 39 at 11 '28 each in 1907, and 34 at 16’67 each in 1908. During the latter two seasons he was qualifying for Berkshire, the present being his fifth summer at Bradfield. He hit successfully for Devon on several occasions, averaging 28'60 per innings in 1907 and 21 in 1908. For Berkshire he has not done much in the batting line ; but his work in the attack in 1910— in 1909 he played in only a couple of matches, taking 13 wickets for 109—was splendid in its consistency and effective. Geoffrey Stevens, in the final, was prac­ tically the only batsman who ever collared him. Against Wiltshire at Reading he had 15 wickets for 105 (6 for 42 and 9 for 63), against Herts, at Reading 11 for 113, against Cornwall at Camborne 10 for 35, against Devon at Exeter Q. M. HAWKSWORTH. 8 for 56, and in other matches such figures as 7 for 78, 6 for 94, and 6 for 102. This season Mr. Lockhart’s inclusion has meant less work for him, but he has done well. Standing 6 feet 2 inches, Hawksworth brings the ball from a good height, and utilises the puzzling googly action. He is right-handed, and of medium pace. In the field his place his point. Harry Shoosmith is a Yorkshireman b y birth (born at Sheffield in 1879), but he learned his cricket in Sussex, on the Saffrons at Eastbourne, and was four seasons pro. to the Eastbourne Club before he went to Reading, where he is groundman to the county club. He first played for Berkshire in 1907, showing useful all-round form without doing anything at all remarkable. In 1908 he came on considerably in batting, scoring 329 runs with an average of 29 "90, but the few wickets he took were again expensive. The next season was not a good one for him ; but in 1910 he did really well with the bat, averaging 31 '20 for 13 innings (3 not outs), and scoring 125 v. Bucks. at Reading. In the four seasons 1907-1910 he'aggregated 1,050 runs for the county with an average of nearly 22, and this year he has been batting better than ever ; but inasmuch as the 50 wickets or so that he has taken have cost over 30 runs each, he cannot be regarded as more than a fair change bowler. His style is right-hand medium pace. As a batsman he has plenty of strokes, and he fields well in the slips. These two professionals represent the paid element in most Berkshire matches ; but Whichelow, who has made several useful scores, has also had a place in a few games during the last two or three seasons. J . N . P e n t e l o w . Second innings. DERBYSH IRE y . NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . WEEK-END CRICKET. I'layed at Blackwell on August 26, 28 and 29 and won by Notts, by six wickets. Play was very slow on the opening day, when sixteen wickets went down for 252 runs. Morton played faultless cricket for 73, but received poor support. At one time it seemed likely that the home side would gain a comfortable lead on the innings, but Hodges and Jones enabled Notts, to total 109. The former, though missed at 0, played fine cricket during the hour and three-quarters he was in and, driving particularly well, hit three 6’s and six 4’s. In Derbyshire’s second innings Oliver and Chapman put on 77 for the second wicket, but the others collapsed before Wass, who obtained his last eight wickets for 19 runs. Thanks to a fourth-wicket stand of 74 by the brothers Gunn, Notts, won with six wickets in hand. Score and analysis :— First innings. D e r b y s h ir e . Cadman, c Jones, b Wass ............ L.
