Cricket 1889

M X g & ' i i m CRICKET; A WEEKLY; RECORD OF THE GAME. 139 M.C.C. AND GROUND v. DERBYSHIRE. The Derbyshire eleven opened the season auspiciously at Lord’s this week, defeating M.C.C. and Ground on Tuesday, after a most exciting finish, with only one wicket in hand. Mr. Spofforth, though on the ground, adhered to his refusal to play as a concession to Derby­ shire, and with Messrs. G. G. Walker, S. H. Evershed, and L. G. Wright away, the County eleven was not-representative. On the other hand the Marylebone Club had only a verv moderate side, and in batting, as well as bowl­ ing, were in no way formidable. Owing to the heavy rains of Sunday, play could not be commenced until nearly one o’clock on Mon­ day, and the bowlers found such help from the ground that before the end of tne day twenty-two wickets had fallen for an aggre gate of 198 runB. After getting rid of M.O.C. for 105, Mr. Mosby and Chatterton started the batting for Derbyshire very auspi­ ciously. After the latter’s retirement, though, Alec Hearne and Burton carried every­ thing before them, and the last six wickets only added 22 runs. Hearne had a remark­ able analysis, getting six batsmen at a cost of only sixteen runs. When play began on the second morning, M.C.C. had made 22 in .the. second innings for two wickets, and Hulme and Hall bowled so well that the total only reached 59, Hulme taking four wickets for 17 runs. Wanting 94 to win, Mr. Mosby and Chatterton again made a good opening for the County, and when the amateur was out the total was 47. After this, though, things went badly for Derbyshire, and as 31 were still wanting to win when the eighth batsman retired, the game then looked all in favour of M.C.C. By vigorous hitting Hulme, however, making 24 of the next 80, brought the score to a tie, and Burrowes and Disney, running a sharp run, secured a well-earned victory. The oredit of this success was, in a great measure, due to the good bowling of Hulme and Hall, the batting of Chatterton, and the effective hitting of Hulme at the close. M.C.C. First Innings. Mr. D.

Owing to the heavy rain of Sunday the ground at Oxford was not at all in a favourable condition for run-getting on Monday when tbis match was begun, and it never recovered sufficiently before the game was completed on Tuesday afternoon. The University, who were without Mr. Rashleigh, took the innings, but the batting against the bowling of Messrs. Shand and Nepean was disappointing, and Mr. Forster proved to be the highest scorer with fourteen. Mr. Shand, who has been in Ceylon for some years, is the old Harrow fast left-handed bowler. He was singularly suc­ cessful, taking six wickets for 82 runs. Mr. Thornton, at the commencement of the Gentlemen’ s innings, was bowled for a single, but Messrs. Webbe and Nepean both played capital cricket, and the partnership for the second wicket realised 67 runs. Towards the close, too, Mr. Robertson hit freely, though he was missed at long-on when he had got fourteen, and the last wicket added 40 runs to the total. In Oxford’s second innings Mr. Gresson and the Freshman, Mr. Jardine, were both seen to advantage, and the score was 71 with only two wickets down. Things then went badly with the University for a time, but the vigorous hitting of Mr. Croome, who hit Mr. Nepean once over the ring for six, improved their position again, and the tenth wicket fell at 135. Mr. Jardine, though at first hardly at home, showed good steady oricket. He was at the wickets an hour ana forty minutes for his 23, a very useful innings. Wanting only 65 to win, Messrs. Webbe and Thornton, as before, started the batting for the Gentlemen,and again the latter was unsuccess­ ful, being caught at the wicket without a run. Messrs. Webbe and Nepean were, however, as on the first day, very difficult to separate, and after losing Messrs. Webbe, Walker, and Vernon, the latter made the winning hit, giving the Gentlemen the victory by six wickets. Mr. Nepean showed capital cricket each time. He scored 68 runs for once out. Mr. Wreford-Brown was the most successful bowler for Oxford. The best bowling of the match was, however, that of Mr. Bacmeister, of the Hornsey Club, in the second innings of Oxford. He bowls right hand, and on his form of Tuesday last should be certain of a trial for Middlesex. O x f o r d U n iv e r s it y . First Innings. F. H. Gresson, b Shand... 7 H.

A match bearing this title, but really a trial between two elevens selected respectively by Messrs. Philipson and F. H. Gresson, was played at Oxford, on Thursday last and two following days. It resulted after an interesting game in favour of the former’s side by four wickets. Though three times missed, Mr. Philipson’s 112 was an excellent display of batting. The best bowling was by Mr. Bassett, who took eight wiokets of the Etceteras for 62 runs. On the other side, Mr. Christo- pherson’s six wickets cost 39 runs. E t c e t e r a s . First Innings.
