Kent County Cricket Club's 1906 season was the seventeenth season in which the county competed in the County Championship and saw the side win their first Championship title. [1] Kent played 25 first-class cricket matches during the season, losing only four matches overall, and only two matches in the 1906 County Championship. They finished equal on points with Yorkshire and Surrey but won the title on the percentage of finished matches won.

Wisden Cricketers' Almanack considered that there was a "general consensus" Kent were "the best county side of the year" and that they had "shown the most brilliant form", [1] whilst The Guardian wrote that "a more brilliant side it would be hard to imagine". [2] The title was sealed with a final game victory by an innings against Hampshire, the team's twelfth successive victory. Two of the county's players, Arthur Fielder and Kenneth Hutchings were selected as Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1907 as a result of their performances during the season. [3]

The Championship victory was the first of four by Kent during the Golden Age of cricket in the years leading up to the First World War. It was celebrated by the club by the commissioning of a famous oil painting, Kent vs Lancashire at Canterbury , which now hangs in the Long Room in the Lord's Pavilion.

Background

After dominating county cricket in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, the players who made up Kent's great side of the 1840s retired and by the 1850s the county had been reduced to often having to amalgamate with other sides to produce a challenging team. [4] The formation of a County Club in Maidstone in 1859 and the amalgamation of this with the original Kent Cricket Club in 1870 to create the modern Kent County Cricket Club, provided the basis for re-emergence, although the club suffered from financial instability [5] and Lord Harris's view was that Kent could not hope to compete at the level it once had throughout the 1870s and 1880s. [6] [7] When the County Championship was formerly established in 1890 Kent were initially able to finish only in mid table. [6]

The establishment of the Tonbridge Nursery in 1897 as a player development centre for young professionals was one of the key developments that lay the foundations for the successes of the pre-war period. The Nursery, which was run by Captain William McCanlis and set up and overseen by Tom Pawley, who became the club's general manager in 1898, provided coaching and match practise for the young professionals who, by 1914, had become the basis of the Kent team, gradually taking the place of the amateurs who had dominated the Kent teams of the 1870s and 80s. [5] [7] [8] [9] By 1906 around 60% of all appearances were by professionals, with bowlers such as Colin Blythe and Arthur Fielder forming the core of the Kent attack. [10] Professional batsmen such as Punter Humphreys and James Seymour became an increasingly important part of Kent's batting lineup, coming together with a group of "gifted" amateurs [11] to produce strong sides. [12]

The Nursery began to pay dividends quickly and Kent finished third in the Championship in 1900. [13] Mid table finishes followed between 1901 and 1903 before the side finished third again in 1904 in the first year of C. H. B. Marsham's captaincy. A sixth-place finish in 1905 saw Seymour, Ted Dillon (who would go on to captain the county) and Arthur Day all score over 1,000 Championship runs and Blythe take 130 wickets. [13] The season had also seen the debut in the Kent Second XI of a young Nursery professional named Frank Woolley. [14]

1906 season

Kent started the season with a match against the MCC at Lord's which they lost by 69 runs. [15] The first four County Championship matches of the season saw losses to Yorkshire and Lancashire, a draw with Essex and a sole win away at Sussex. These were the only losses the side would suffer in the Championship during the season and a run of four wins, including a one wicket win against Surrey which is generally considered the turning point of the season, [1] [5] and three draws led up to the visit of the touring West Indian side to Catford in mid July. A victory by an innings and 14 runs was the first of twelve successive wins leading up to the end of the championship season. [5] [16]

Eleven of the matches won successively were in the County Championship, but despite the long winning streak Kent could not have won the title without Yorkshire losing at least one game towards the end of the season. On 25 August, with only two matches remaining in the season, Kent won against Worcestershire and Yorkshire lost by a single run against Gloucestershire. [1] [5] After a victory against Middlesex, the championship was clinched with a win in the county's final match against Hampshire. [1] The match saw Kent score 610 runs, their highest first-class score at the time, surpassing the 576 they had scored at Worcester in July, [17] [18] and remains the highest total made at Dean Park. [19] A loss in the Champion County match against the Rest in September at The Oval completed the season. [20]

Kent scored quickly throughout the year at a rate that averaged 80 runs an hour with a style that is claimed aimed to win matches rather than draw them. [21] The core of the side was formed of professionals who had been coached at the County's Tonbridge Nursery and contributed around 60% of appearances during 1906. [10] [21]

At a celebratory dinner in London in October, the Kent chairman, George Harris, 4th Baron Harris, suggested that the club commission a painting to celebrate the championship victory. [22] Kent selected Albert Chevallier Tayler as the artist. Tayler was paid 200 guineas by Kent for the painting. Harris suggested that the painting should show an action shot of a match at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury, and suggested that the bowler in the painting should be Colin Blythe. Kent had only played three matches at Canterbury during the 1906 season and the match against Lancashire in July was chosen to be depicted. Blythe had taken eight wickets during the match which was part of the annual Canterbury Cricket Week. [22]

The painting, entitled Kent vs Lancashire at Canterbury , remained at the St Lawrence Ground until 1999, at which time it was moved to the Lord's Pavilion as Kent could no longer afford the insurance. In 2006 the painting was sold to a charity foundation at auction for £680,000 and remains on display in the Long Room at Lord's on long-term loan. [23]

Players

The 1906 side was captained by Cloudesley Marsham and featured England international players Colin Blythe and Arthur Fielder. Blythe had toured South Africa over the 1905–06 winter and Fielder toured Australia in 1903–04. Both bowlers would go on to tour Australia in 1907–08 as would batsman Kenneth Hutchings who played his first full season in 1906. [24] [25] [26] [27] Fielder and Hutchings were selected as two of Wisden's five Cricketers of the Year in 1907 as a result of their 1906 performances. [3] Future Kent great Frank Woolley made his First XI debut in 1906 [28] and the team also featured Wally Hardinge in the early years of his career. Woolley is Kent's all-time leading run scorer and has made the most appearances for the County in first-class cricket, whilst Hardinge, who at the time also played football for Newcastle United, [29] is second on both lists. James Seymour, who played in all 22 Championship matches during the season, is the fourth leading run scorer in the County's history and has made the third most appearances for Kent. [30] [31]

The side also included Jack Mason, who captained the side in the one game Marsham did not play, [32] and Cuthbert Burnup, both past county captains as well as Arthur Day, who went on to be one of the Cricketers of the Year in 1910 [33] and Alec Hearne who had been similarly honoured by Wisden in 1894. [34] Hearne made his final appearance for Kent during July at the Nevill Ground. [35] The main wicket-keeper was Fred Huish, considered to be "first of a line of exceptional Kent wicket-keepers". [36] Woolley and reserve wicket-keeper and batsman Jack Hubble were both awarded their county caps during the season. [37]

The season also saw the penultimate appearance for Kent of George Harris, 4th Baron Harris during the tour match against the West Indies. Harris, who was 55 at the time of the game, was a major figure in Kent and English cricket. [5] [38] Raymond Munds also played only one non-championship game for the county during the season, the opening match against MCC. [39]
