Cricket 1885

[134 CRICKET ; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MaY 2i, ms: i C R ICK E T A T OXFORD . FIRST ELEVEN v. NEXT SIXTEEN. The Sixteen were able to claim a decisive victory in this match, finished at Oxford on Saturday last. Mainly through the fine bat­ ting of R. H. Pemberton, one of the Eton Eleven of 1883, and later in the innings the good play of P. Coles, the Rugby Captain of 1884, the Sixteen were in a majority of 190 runs on the first innings. This advan­ tage proved too great to give their opponents a chance, and though the Captain and E. H. Buckland played up well in the second in­ nings, the Sixteen were able to win with fifteen wickets to spare.. II. H. Pemberton’s score of 113 for the winners, was the result of excellent play. He only gave one chance,, when he had made 70 ; in his score were fourteen fours. The most noticeable feature of the game, with this exception, was the effective slow round-arm bowling of H. T. Arnall, the Rugby Captain of 1882, for the Sixteen. In all he took ten wickets at a cost of 86 runs, a very creditable performance. H, V. Page hit freely, but with some luck, for his second score of 76. The best batting on the side of the Eleven was that of E. H. Buckland, whose sixty*five in the second innings were got by steady and sound cricket. T h e E l e v e n . First Innings. E.K.H. D’ Aeth,b Arnall 0 J. Brain, b Arnall .. 6 L. D.

The Oxford University Eleven hardly showed the form that might have been expected of them in their opening match, begun at Oxford on Monday last- Though Marylebone was fairly well represented, the cricket of the Oxonians was rather disappointing all round. With the exception of the stand made by Messrs. Buck­ land and Hildyard, there was little at all note­ worthy in their batting. The two first named both showed really good cricket, and while they were together 70 runs were added to the score. In the first innings of M.C.C. Messrs, Bastard and Page did well with the ball, taking nine wickets between them. Mr. Whitby, who has done little as yet, was quite unsuccessful, and on the second day the bowling was, with the exception of that of Mr. Bastard, heavily punished. Gunn, who has began the season very well, and Mr. E. J. C. Studd con­ tributed 181 to Marylebone’s first total. The latter hit with great vigour each time. In the first innings he made 110 out of 156 while he was in. Rain prevented any play yesterday, and the game was drawn, M.C.C. being 254 runs on with live wickets still to fall. M.C.C. &G.

FIRST TWELVE v. NEXT SIXTEEN. After three full days this, the last of the trial matches at Cambridge, was left drawn on Saturday. Some good batting was shown on both sides, and in all 750 runs were scored for thirty-seven wickets. C.W. Wright and the Hon. M. B. Hawke played capital cricket each time for tho Twelve. T. Greatorex, in the first innings, batted well, and in the second another Old Harrovian, C. D. Buxton, got his luns (39 not out) in very creditable style. Lindley showed the best batting on the side of the| Sixteen, though, later in the innings, G. A. Coulby, the Old Carthusian, and W. L. Hayter, both exhibited good defence. G. T. Mirehouse and C. D. Buxton were the most successful bowlers for the Twelve. F ir s t T w e l v e . First Innings. C. W. Wright, o Studd, b L in d le y ..........................69 H. W .Bainbridge,b Toppin 2 Hon. M. B.
