Cricket 1888

JU N E 21, 1888. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 211 L E IC E ST E R SH IR E v. YO RK SH IR E . Continuous rain prevented a commence­ ment of the return match between these counties at Leicester on Friday, aud as there was only a very outside chance of a definite conclusion, Saturday’s play offered very little interest. Leicestershire went in first, and were dismissed for 94, of which Wheeler and Tomlin contributed 45, or more than one half of the total got from the bat. Leicester­ shire missed Rylott’s bowling when their turn came to field, and Ulyett, Peel, Lee and Preston showed to such advantage that when the game ended Yorkshire were 137 runs to the good, with three wickets still to fall. Middlebrooke and Mr. W . Coverdale made their first appearance for Yorkshire in this match. L e ic e s t e r s h ir e . Warren, c Ulyett, b Middlebrooke ... 12 Mr. A. E.

The trial matches of the University elevens generally give rise to a considerable amount of public interest. The excellent show made by the Cambridge team, too, in the last of their home fixtures against the Australians, proved them to be such a good side that ther* would have been, in all pro­ bability, a Jarge attendance at the Oval at the end of last week te see how they fared against Surrey. Unfortunately, rain interfered con­ siderably with the game throughout, and only aquarter-of-an-hour’s play was possible on the second day. Cambridge were without Messrs. Ilale and Kemp, and Surrey without Mr. Roller, Maurice Read and Henderson, so that neither side was in its full strength. The Cambridge Captain was unlucky enough to lose the toss, and, with a wet ball and slippery ground, his bowlers were not seen to ad­ vantage. Mr. Shuter and Abel had made 91 runs in an hour, when the former was easily caught at cover-point for an admirable score of 53. Rain, which had delayed the start for an hour, fell heavily during the interval, and another break of over an hour was necessitated from the same cause. Abel, who had from the first batted in his very best form, continued to score fast, and at the end of the day he was not out, having scored 146 out of 272 for five wickets. As already stated, the rain only allowed a quarter-of-an-hour’s play on Friday, and during this time the score was increased by ten runs, of which Abel obtained eight. On resuming on Saturday morning, Wood was soon caught, and, after Mr. Bowden had hit one of Mr. Woods’ to square-leg out of the ground for six, Abel was caught at short-slip. His 160, the highest score he has ever made, was a remarkable display of batting. He was just four hours at the wickets, and, with the exception of two uppish hits out of reach of a fieldsman, did not make a faulty hit. His timing was perfect throughout, and his off drives in particular clean and hard. He was in, it will be gathered, a part of each of the three days. Cambridge going in against a big total of 312, fared badly, and half the wickets were down for 51. Mr. Butler, the Harrow Captain of 1885, who played with great judg­ ment, was the first to offer any real resistance to the Surrey bowlers, and, helped by some free hitting by Messrs. Woods and Meyrick Jones, the score was raised to 160 before the last wicket fell. When Cambridge followed on in a minority of 152, Surrey for a time fared very well, and three of the best batsmen were out for 29. Mr. Butler, who again batted with great confidence and judgment, helped Mr. Buxton to add 44 before he was bowled, having scored 74 in the match by excellent cricket. Four more wickets fell for an addi­ tion of 24 runs, and when Mr. McGregor joined Mr. Woods the total was only 97 with eight wickets down. The two Cantabs both played with great pluck, and at half-past six o’clock, as they were still in and well set, with only three runs wanted to save the innings, there was great excitement, as Surrey’s chance of an actual win seemed now very doubtful. Mr. Shuter, however, at this point determined to substitute B owley for Abel, and after bowling Mr. Woods, two balls later the former found his way to Mr. de Little’s wicket, Surrey thus winning twenty-five minutes before time by an innings and three runs. Great praise was due to Messrs. Woods and McGregor for their plucky batting at the close. While they were together th^y added 52 runs, and their stand very nearly robbed Surrey of a victory. The Cantabs had the worst of the luck, firstly in having to bowl with a wet ball on slippery turf, and secondly in batting on a wicket that favoured the bowlers, although the ground never got really very difficult on Saturday.
