Cricket 1887

JUNE 9,1887. CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 181 OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. M.C.C. & G. Rain interfered considerably with this match begun at Oxford on Thursday, and as a consequence it was left unfinished on Satur­ day evening. Marylebone, though weak in batting, had Pougher, Flowers, Rawlin, and Chatterton to bowl, and their great superiority in this department enabled them to have all the best of the game. Messrs. Key, Forster, Gresson, and Brain alone got double figures for the University, who at the finish were still 89 runs behind with only five wickets to go down. Rawlin was ihe chief scorer for M.C.C. His 69 was an excellent display of free cricket. Flowers bowled with great success in the first innings of the University His six wickets cost 45 runs. M.C.C. AND G. Lord G.

The continuous rain of Friday prevented the completion of this match, begun at Lord’s on the previous day, and the result was a draw, Middlesex having at the finish 85 runs to get to win, with six wickets to fall. The chief feature of the first day’s cricket was the fine display of batting of Mr. W. G. Grace. The wicket played queerly at the outset, but he gave no chance, and his innings of 113 was, under the circumstances, an exceptionally good performance. He (jwent in first, and was ninth wicket down with the total at 192. On Saturday as the wicket dried after the heavy downpour of the previous day, the bowlers had things mostly tneir own way, and the last fourteen wickets only realised 109 runs. Burton and Mr. Robertson, helped by the ground, bowled with great success when Gloucestershire went in a second time, and with the exception of two overs by Dunkley, they were unchanged. Middlesex wanting 110 to win went in with a little under an hour left for play, and had lost four of their best bats­ men in attaining 25 of this amount. Mr. W. G. Grace got three of these at a cost of 16 runs. Mr. Newnham was very useful for Gloucester­ shire with bat as well as ball. He obtained 45 runs for once out, and took five wickets for 77 runs, G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . First Innings. Dr. E. M. Grace, b Dunk­ ley.......................................... 6 Dr. W. G.

Owing in a great measure to interruptions from rain this annual match, begun at Cam­ bridge on Thursday, was left unfinished on Saturday evening. Cambridge, who went in first on Thursday, had the best of the wicket, and were not dismissed till they had reached a respectable total of 267. The chief credit of this performance was due to Mr. Thomas, who made his first appearance in the Univer­ sity eleven this season. He gave a chance to mid-off when he had made seventy, otherwise there was no flaw in an exceptionally good display of cricket. Peel hit well in Yorkshire’s first innings for 53, but the wicket on Saturday was all against batting, and the University bowlers were consequently seen to better ad­ vantage. At one time it looked as if Cam­ bridge would win, and when the sixth wicket fell in Yorkshire’s second innings the chances of the latter seemed far from favour­ able. A plucky stand by Wade, who hit very freely, and Grimshaw, helped by mistakes in the field, saved the county, though, as it proved. _ Cambridge had 84 to got to win in fifty minutes, and when play ceased had made 63 of them for the loss of only two wickets.
