GREAT CRICKET SCORE
9 THE REST MAKE 603 FOR 8 RECORD BATTING YEAR (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) LONDON, Monday. In the cricket match between the champion county and The Rest, The Rest in its first innings made 603 for eight, and declared (Hendren 174, Sutcliffe 139 and Ames, not out, 56). Lancashire, in its second innings made 216 (Ernest Tyldesley 63). Freeman took four wickets for 75. The Rest won by an innings and 91 runs. It was certainly vivid batting. Chapman realised that Lancashire was well beaten, and obviously gave orders to hit or get out. Hendren and Ames added 179 in 65 minutes. Hendren hit Iddon for four sixes, and took 45 from 11 balls.
Incidentally, Sutcliffe and Ernest Tyldesley reached 3,000, joining Hendren, Woolley and Mead. This is easily a record, the previous best being three, Abel, Fry and Tyldesley, in 1901.
