Cricket 1889

MAY 16,1889. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 110 CRICKET AT OXFORD. THE FRESHMEN’S MATCH. Rain interfered to a great extent with the cricket in this annual match, played in the Parks on Thursday and two following days. Several of the Freshmen had proved them­ selves to be considerably above the average in the Public School elevens of 1888, and Jardine, of Fettes,in particular had come up to Oxford with the distinction of exceptionally and con­ sistently high scoring in Scotland last season. G. Cuming, of the Clergy Orphan School at Canterbury, had also bowled with unusual success, and in this his first trial justified the expectations formed of him. The chief fea­ tures of the game were the batting of Jardine and Watson (of Harrow), younger brother of the twelfth man at Oxford last summer, for Mr. Forster’s side ; of Leechman, Giffard, and Atkinson and the bowling of Cuming in the other team. Though the form generally was not of a very high standard, the weather was not conducive to the display of the best form, and more than one of the players will, in all probability, be seen to better advantage. Cuming, it will be seen, in the second innings of Mr. Forster’s side took seven wickets for 75 runs. He bowls left hand fast with an easy delivery, and bids fair to be of use. At the finish Mr. Philipson’s side wanted 103 runs to win with ten wickets to fall. M r . H. P h il ip so n ’ s S id e . First Innings. C. H. R. Gresson ( L a n c i n g ) , c * Browne, b Dunlop 9 H.

The recent rains have interfered consider­ ably w’ith cricket during the last week, and this, the last of the Oxford trials, begun on Monday, suffered equally with matches else­ where. The Freshmen, who were the first to bat, found the bowling of Messrs. Forster and Moss altogether too much for them on the treacherous wicket, and were all out for 40, which had taken them an hour and three- quarters to get. The Eleven fared better mainly through the free cricket of Messrs. Watson and Croome, and at the end of the first day the Freshmen were still 26 behind, having lost one batsman (Dunlop) in their second innings. Though the ground was still suffering from the rain the Freshmen were at the wickets most of the day on Tuesday, and it wras past six o’clock before the last wicket fell for 201. The chief credit of this highly creditable performance rested with Messrs. Jardine and Giffard. The former’ s 73, in particular, was a really good display of cricket. He batted with care as well as judgment, and with the exception of a hard chance when he had got 22 , his innings was without a flaw. The Eleven wranted 148 to win when play began yesterday, and with the ground in better condition the runs were got for the loss of seven batsmen. Mr. Watson was again seen to advantage, but the best dricket was shown by Mr. Gresson, whose sixty-one was the result of sterling batting, worthy of his reputation in every way.
