Cricket 1887

148 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 20, 1887. M.C.C. & G. v. SUSSEX. Though rain interfered materially with the play at Lord’s on each of the three days, it did not prevent the game being brought to a definiteconclusion early on Saturday afternoon. The ground was not at any time in a condition favourable for run-getting, and Mr. 'W. G. Grace, who did a remarkable performance in the first hands, was alone credited with a high score. Mr. Grace went in first for M.C.C., and was not out when the tenth wicket fell. He was responsible, too, for 81 out of 118made from the bat, and, until just at the finish of his innings, which lasted two hours and a quarter, he did not make a bad hit In addition he had a hand in the dismissal of all but the last batsman in the county’s first innings, getting seven from his own bowling, and catching two others. When they went in a second time Sussex had 185 runs to win, and, thanks to the good cricket of the young pro­ fessional, Quaife, and some free hitting at the close by Bean and Humphreys, were able to win with four wickets to spare. The success was a creditable one, considering that the county, in the absence of Messrs. F. M. Lucas, W. Newham, G. Brann, E. J. McCormick, and F. Thomas, was not by any means well repre­ sented with the bat. Hollands made his first appearance for Sussex in this match. M.C.C. an d G r o u n d . First Innings. Second Innings. Dr. W. G.

Rough and stormy weather detracted con­ siderably from the enjoyment of this annual match, commenced on the University ground on Thursday last. There was no interruption on the first day, but on Friday and Saturday the game had to be carried on under the most unfavourable conditions, and eventually to be left drawn, mainly owing to heavy rain on Saturday afternoon. Mr. H. W. Forster, who had shown such excellent all-round cricket in the trial matches, was unable to play for the University, owing to a strain, and his bowling in particular was greatly missed. Messrs. Nepean and Gresson made a good commence­ ment for the University, and by excellent cricket the score had been taken to 110 before Mr. Nepean was caught for a very creditable score of forty-five. Mr. Gresson added to the reputation he had gained in the trial matches by his sound cricket, and his sixty-four were thoroughly well got. No one else, though, made any stand, and none of the other nine batsmen got double figures. Mr. Webbe and Rawlin bowled with such effect that the last six wickets only added seven runs. Messrs. Studd and Webbe put on 86 runs before the first wicket of the other side fell, and some vigorous hitting later on by Messrs. Vernon and Frank, the latter of whom hit Mr. Wreford- Brown out ofthe ground,broughtthe total to 248 before the innings came to an end. Oxford went in a second time in aminority of 108 runs, and again Mr. Gresson was seen to great ad­ vantage, showing sound cricket for his 61. The feature of the third day, though, was the judioious play of Mr. Key. Going in third wicket down at 61, he made 64 of the last 111 runs, and his judgment was of the greatest value when the game looked somewhat doubt­ ful. Among his figures were a hit for six from Mr. A. E. Leatham, and four fours. At the close Oxford were 64 runs to the good, with three wickets to fall. T h e U n iv e r s it y . First Innings.
