Cricket 1912

152 CRICKET : A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. M a y 18, 1912. Brighton man was top scorer for his side, so that the cares of leadership evidently did not affect his batting. He and Simms added 73 for the fourth wicket in the first innings. Of the rest one cannot say much, though young Eelf’s form was promising. Dean and Ralph Whitehead bowled well. The Lancashire batting was well on top of the Sussex bowling. Ernest Tyldesley scored his first century for the county—not likely to be his last—and was concerned in two fine partnerships, he and Sharp, who played splendidly for 134, including seventeen 4’s, adding 186 for the fifth wicket, while later Brooke, who is evidently a first-class bat, helped to add 107 in an hour, his 61 taking 85 minutes. Leach stuck to his work well. M.C.C. v. S o u th A fricans .— The premier club put a very strong team into the field ; the Afrikanders laeked Faulkner and White. Tarrant played unusually free cricket for 104 in two hours; Fry was not at his best, but Arthur Day was, and ran up 50 in less than 40 minutes. Spooner and Tarrant made 108 for the first wicket. Pegler bow led really well. Tarrant followed up his good batting by some fine bow liD g, his six wickets being all clean bow led. Only Nourse, Schwarz, and Mitchell did anything. Fry was himself again in M.C.C.’s second; he and Tarrant ran up 91 in an hour for the opening partnership. Spooner made 72 in 85 minutes. W ith only three wickets down 196 were on the board. Then—P egler! He had had 34 scored off him without a wicket. He changed ends, and took 6 for 10 more runs ! Moreover he had four wickets, those of Belf, Thompson, Day, and J. T. Hearne, in five balls. Some people say that Pegler would not have been with the team if he had not had a father on the selection committee. Almost a pity his father had not another son or two among the possibles, eh ? The visitors were set 339 to win, but never looked like getting the runs. Snooke played fine free cricket for 86 in 100 minutes, but no one else did very much. Tancred is suffering from a strain and rheumatism, and had a runner. Y o r k s h ir e v. H am p sh ire. —Hants., who were without Fry and Johnston, cracked up badly at the beginning, only Brown showing any form at all. Hirst and Booth bowled unchanged. Yorkshire made runs easily and speedily—off Newman as off the rest. Rhodes and Wilson scored 78 for the first wicket in 45 minutes, Denton and Drake 134 for the third in 85, Denton and Hirst 113 for the fourth in 55, aud Booth hit up 56 in 36. The total of 471 only took four hours. Mead played great cricket in the southern county’s second. Stone, Bowell, and Captain White all helped ; but 4 were down for 138 when Captain Barch joined the left-hander. At the close of the day’s play the total had reached 160 with the pair still unparted, a partnership of 142. There was no more play, Wednesday being a blank owing to rain. W o r c e s t e r s h ir e v. S u r r e y .— It is good to hear that there were 3,000 people on the Dudley ground on M onday-n ot a tremendous crowd, but a far better gate than the Severnside enclosure commands. Pearson played splendidly against his native county— 154 in 4 f hours, without a chance, nineteen 4’s and undefeated at the end. Burns and he added 149 in 105 minutes, the amateur’s 95 including thirteen 4’s. Simpson-Havward slammed up 48 out of 73 for the seventh wicket in about half-an-hour. Tuesday was Tom Hayward’s day. Getting very near his hundredth century now, is Tom of Surrey ! Five hours ; only one chance, at 121, sixteen 4’s—it looks England form, though the bowling, with Burrows away, and Burns unable to bowl, was weak. Hayes batted 3J hours for 94 and helped to add 225 for the second wicket. Sandham and Harrison, unparted, added 61 before stumps were drawn. Wednesday’s story needs one word only— rain ! E s s e x v. A u s tra lia n s . — Essex were scraping for runs on Monday, and only Douglas, with a characteristic 64 in 2J hours did himself justice. Emery again bowled with success. Gregory and Mayne, lasting into Tuesday by some luck, sent up 134 in 95 minutes for the first Australian w icket; but this was but small beer compared with the Macartney-Bardsley partnership. They added 362 runs in 195 minutes for the third wicket. Three years s«go Bardsley made 219 at Leyton, and he and Ransford added 355 together—also for the third wicket. Macartney’s 208, at about the rate of a run a minute, was magnificent. He was always getting the ball in the middle of the bat; he only gave one actual chance, and hit two 6’s and twenty-six 4’s. Bardsley, after a rocky start, played splendid cricket also, making many cuts and placing deftly to leg. The innings was declared at 564 for 3, leaving him not out 184. Essex entered upon their uphill task fairly well, Fane and Douglas staying, though they started slowly and shakily. Three figures went up before the first wicket fe ll; but afterwards good men went cheaply, and in the end the Australians won by an innings and 132 runs. The Score Book.
