Cricket 1888

JUNE 14, 1888. OKICKE'J?: a WEEKLY BECOKD OE THE GAME. 208 THE S I XTH AUSTRAL I AN TEAM. TENTH MATCH.—v. CAMBRIDGE UN IVERSITY. The University eleven showed up well in this match, begun at Cambridge on Thursday, and certainly had none the worst of the draw when the game ended on Saturday night. The Australians were without S. P. Jones, but the captain, Percy McDonnell, in spite of his bad finger, again took his place in the eleven. The University, who won the toss, made a bad start, Turner bowling Gosling with the very first ball of the match. Afterthis, though, Mordaunt and Kemp played fine cricket, and helped subsequently by Buxton, Woods, and at the last by Hale and MoGregor, remained the rest of the day at the wickets. Mordaunt, the Eton captain of 1886, was in just two hours for his 78. He had a life in the slips when he had got 25, and, though not quite at home at first, played, on the whole, admirable cricket. Kemp made no mistake till just before he was out, and his 64 was perhaps the most attractive innings of the match. The two last batsmen of Cambridge, Hall and McGregor, added 61 runs. The Australians quickly lost Bannerman and Trott, but Bonnor and McDonnell hit away merrily, and 88 runs were added before the former was finely caught at mid-on. Jarvis and the captain, helped in a great measure by bad fielding, scored fast, and the score was 157 before McDonnell was caught at slip. He had made 66 by fine batting, a good performance, considering his damaged finger. The interest, though, of the innings was when the two last men were in. When Lyons went in two runs were required to avoid the follow, and thanks to the last comer these and more were got. Going in again on Friday night in a majority of 66, Cambridge lost Mordaunt and Thomas before play ceased, being then 97 on, with eight wickets to fall. On the resumption on Saturday Kemp was again seen to great advantage, and all the remaining batsmen who did go in were successful in getting double figures, Buxton and Kemp adding 68 for the fourth wicket. The Australians had one hour and fifty minutes left when they went in a second time, and though ^ain caused a cessa­ tion of close on half-an-hour, in this time made 104 for the loss of two batsmen. Trott and McDonnell put on 83 while they were partners, and the Captain was not out at the close, having made 115 runs in the match for once out. At the finish the Australians still wanted 195 to win, with eight wickets to fall, so that they could hardly be said to have had the best of the draw. C a m b r id g e U n iv e r s it y .

ELEVENTH MATCH—v. PAST 4ND PRESENT OF OXFORD UN IVERSITY' After having the worst of the earlier part of this match, begun at Leyton on Monday, the Australian team played up with great pluck, and were able yesterday to claim a very creditable victory, with 74 runs to spare. S. P. Jones was too ill to help the Australians, but the Oxonians were worse off, Messrs. W. H. Patterson, K. J. Key, J. G. Walker and A. J. Webbe being all absent. The Australians, winning the toss, took the innings, and thanks mainly to the good cricket of Bonnor and Jarvis reached a total of 176 before the last wicket fell. While they wer© together, these two batsmen added 71 runs, and their share of the aggregate amounted to 104 of 163 from the bat. Bonnor was in an hour and fifty minutes, and his innings was an excellent one in every way, with more defensive cricket than used to characterise his play. Jarvis, too, deserves equal praise. His 36, which took him just two hours to accomplish, was a well got and most valuable score. Oxford, when .their turn came to bat, did not make a very brave show, and with seven of their best w'ickets down on Monday night for 112 runs the game presented a very even aspect. On Tuesday morning a very different complexion was put on affairs by Messrs. Leslie and Croome, and by brilliant hitting the two Oxonians added 77 before the former was caught at the wicket. He had played quite in his old form, and his 62 was got with­ out a chance. Mr. Croome hit with great determination, but with some luck, being missed when he had got 20. Among his figures were a fine square-leg hit from Bonnor out of the ground. Entering on their second innings in a minority of 72 the Australians made a fine start, and Bannerman andMcDonnell had made runs when the latter was caught, having made 46 of the number in capital style. After Bonnor’s dismissal Bannerman and Trott played well, and the total was 134 before the former was had at the wicket. After this things went badly for the Australians, and when rain stopped play just before 6.30 on Tuesday the score was 207 with eight batsmen gone. When play began yesterday the Australians were 135 on, but Edwards and Ferris gave the Oxford bowlers great trouble, and theyadded 75 before the latter was caught. Edwards, who had previously done little as a bat was not out at the finish for a capital 50, and his stand with Ferris did much to turn the scale in favour of his side. Oxford went in at 2.45 yesterday wanting 221 to win and made a bad start, Lord George Scott being bowled by Turner with the total at 5. Rashleigh,Watson, Phiiipsori aud Buckland did their best to avert defeat, but Turner bowled with great success and the Australians had a little in hand throughout, winning in the end with plenty in hand .1 A u s t r a l ia n s .
