Cricket 1891

MAY 28, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 138 OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. MR. H. PHILIPSON’S ELEVEN. Considering that they were without their best all round cricketer, E. Smith, and two other useful members of the team in E. Taberer and H Bassett, the University eleven had every reason to bo satisfied with the good show they made in this match, played at Oxford at the end of last week. Mr. Philipson had intended to have brought down a very strong team to oppose the Oxonians,and it was after all a fairly good side, though a little lacking in batting. Oxford were unfor­ tunate enough to lose the toss, and this necessitated a rather long outing, in very cold weather interspersed with occasional showers. R. T. Jones, an Oxford senior, who played for Eton in 1888 and 1889, made such a good start with Mr. Walker against the University bowling, that the score was 106 before the latter was caught for a very fine score of 69. Jones followed eight runs later, and his dismissal was succeeded by such a collapse that the next four wiokets only added 14 runs. Some vigorous hitting by Collins realised an addition of 70 runs during his partnership with Lord H. Scott, and as the last three batsmen all failed to score, the latter was not out when the innings closed for 204. After Oxford had made 23 for the loss of two wickets, play had to be suspended on 'lhurs- day, and heavy rain on the following day prevented a resumption till Saturday. In spite of the slow ground some very fine cricket was shown by the Oxford Captain, Jardine and L. Palairet. These two batsmen put on 90 runs while they were together, and Palairet’ s 53, a brilliant display in every sense, was got iu an hour-and-a-quarter. Jardine’s innings was even of greater value, and he was at the wickets three hours and twenty minutes for his 70, which was free from a mistake. Com­ mencing their second innings three runs to the bad, Mr. Philipson’ s team were seen to such disadvantage that no-one but Shacklock could get double figures, and in an hour-and- three-quarters they were all out for 61. With only twenty minutes left, and 59 to get, Oxford had no chance of a win,and with the fall of the third wicket for 14 the match was drawn. Berkeley, it will be seen, bowled well for Oxford. Altogether he took eleven wickets for an average of under 9 runs. Mr. H. P h il ip s o n ’ s XI. First Innings. Mr.J. G. Walker, c Jardine, b Berkley......... .........69 Mr. R. T.

MARYLE­ BONE CLUB AND GROUND. The ill-luck which befel the Cambridge eleven in their two earlier fixtures followed them in their third match of the season, played at Cambridge at the end of last week. This time they were without the valuable services of McGregor (the captain) and Streatfeild, and in the absence of two such well-tried players, their defeat was in no way a disgrace. On the other hand, the Marylebone eleven was not so strong as had been intended, and while Hearn was included in the team for Flowers, who was disabled, places were found for Rowell and Gowans, the latter of whom was the Harrow wicket-keeper of 1890. On the Cam­ bridge side, Foley made his first appearance this season, and Gay, who has been keeping very creditably for Hampshire, took Mc­ Gregor’ s place behind the stumps. Rain prevented a commencement on Thursday, and on the following morning, as was only to be expected, the wicket was slow. Though they won the toss, Cambridge derived no advantage, as they found run-getting very difficult against the bowling of Attewell and Davidson. So successful were these two professionals that all the earlier batsmen failed, and the score on the fall of the fifth wicket wTas only 27. Still a useful stand by Jackson and Braybrooke, who added 47 for the sixth wicket, redeemed the side from the discredit of a very small score, and the latter’s 41 was the result of free and resolute cricket. Mr. Rowell, Chatterton, and Gunn were seen to such advantage when M.C.C. went in that there seemed every pros­ pect of a fair total. The loss of three batsmen by bad running, however, brought the sides more on an equality, and at the end of Friday M.C.C. were still 6 runs behind with only two wickets in reserve. A mistake by Foley at cover-point gave Gowans a life in Woods’ first over on Saturday morning. Taking advan­ tage of his luck, the Old Harrovian scored fast, and his vigorous hitting, which produced 40 runs in the same number of minutes, proved of incalculable value to the side. Douglas and Wells opened the University’s second innings in such a spirited style that runs came freely till the latter, who had made 31 of the first 39, was given out lbw. Douglas was in an hour and fifty minutes for 23, but except Jackson, who again showed great freedom, none of the rest did anything against Attewell and David­ son, and the total only reached 106. Though M.C.C. only wanted 57 to win, Cambridge played up so well that at one time they had quite an outside chanca of success. When the fourth wicket fell the score was only 18, but some capital cricket by Gunn, who carried his bat for an extremely wellgot33, and Davidson practically decided the issue in favour of M.C.C. who won with four wickets in hand. Davidson took ten Cambridge wicket for 106 and Attewell nine for 73. 'I he best bowling figures, though, were those of Wells, whose eight wickets for Cambridge only cost 50 runs.
