Cricket 1887

244 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 7, 1887. M.C.C. & G. y. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. The Oxford University eleven brought their trial matches to a close on Friday, at Lord’s, with a draw against a moderate team representing the Marylebone Club and Ground. The game was deprived of a great deal of its attraction by its limitation to two days, and, though some good cricket was shown on both sides, it could hardly be said that the public took much interest in the fixture. As there were several Inter-county matches in progress on the same days, the Club was notin anything like full strength, and, indeed, in batting it was decidedly weak. On the other hand Oxford was without its usual wicket-keeper, Mr. Philipson, while Lord George Scott took the place of Mr, Wreford-Brown, who had injured his hand badly in the Surrey match earlier in the week. Mainly through the good cricket of Chatterton and Rawlin, M,O.C. were able to claim an advantage of six runs on the first hands, the last five wickets con­ tributing as many as 146 of the total of 199. When Oxford went in again, though, Messrs. Gresson and Nepean put on 80 runs for the first wicket, the former, in particular, playing in admirable style. Later on, Mr. Rashleigh scored freely, and Lord George Scott, who had batted well in the first innings, again showed to great advantage. His 42 not out was, indeed, an excellent display of batting, and his play in this match was so good as to induce Mr. Brain to give him his colours for the University match. M.C.C. would have had to make 244 to win had the game been continued, so that they had not by any means the best of the draw. T h e U n iv e r s it y , First Innings. Mr. F. H.

Neither County had its full strength for this match,begun on the Trent Bridge Ground, at Nottingham, on Thursday. Messrs. Hornby and A. G. Steel were neither of them able to Dlayfor Lancashire,while Scotton, who injured lis hand badly recently, was absent from the home team. The Nottinghamshire Committee found a place for Richardson, a Colt, who bowled with considerable success at Lord’s in the Whit-Monday match, and recently at Liverpool, for that district against Yorkshire. Thanks mainly to the brilliant batting of Shrewsbury and Gunn, who put on 134 runs for the third wicket, Notts were able to gain a lead of 222 on the first hands, placing the result of the game reyond a doubt. Briggs and Robinson triedhard in Lancashire’s second innings to redeem the reputation of the side, and their partnership resulted in an addition of 74 runs. Briggs in particular was seen to great advantage, but no one else did anything against the bowling of Shacklock,Flowers,and Mr. Dixon. The last-named did a noteworthy performance, accomplishing the hat trick by dismissing Robinson, Briggs, and Yates \sith successive balls. Shrewsbury was batting for four hours and three-quarters for his 130, obtained without a shadow of a chance. Gunn, though he might have been twice caught, did not give what may be called an actual chance. Notts won by an innings and 86 runs. L a n c a sh ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

Though they made a poor show in the first innings the Kentish eleven, by no means the best the County could place in the field, played up so well when they went in a second time that Sussex only won this match, begun at Brighton on Thursday, with three quarters of an hour to spare on Saturday. Though they won the toss Kent found the wicket, which had been recently watered, all in favour of the bowlers, and were all out for the small total of 90. They began badly, too, in the second innings, losing two batsmen for only nine runs. Mr. A. J. Thornton and Frank Heame, however, mastered the Sussex bowling altogether, and their partnership was certainly the feature of the match. They were together for three hours, and it was not till the score had been increased by 181 runs that the pro­ fessional was caught for a fine innings of 74. Mr. Thornton, who was not dismissed till Saturday morning, was altogether five hours and a quarter at the wicket. His 137 was a remarkably good exposition of defensive cricket, aninvaluableinningswhich very nearly saved his side a defeat. The Rev. R. T. Thornton, who made his first appearance for Kent this summer, and Mr. Tonge also played good cricket in the second innings. Sussex had 131 to get to win on Saturday afternoon, and though three wickets were down for 53, Mr. Newham and Jesse Hide, who should have been stumped when he had got V, knocked off the remaining runs, so that the home team won by seven wickets. Quaife, a rapidly im­ proving batsman, scored 114 in the match for Sussex. His first score of 91 was the result of excellent cricket. KENT First Innings. F. Hearne, b J. Hide........ Mr. A. J.
