Cricket 1890

228 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME; JULY 3,1890. M.C.C. AND GROUND v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Though represented by only a moderate eleven, M.C.C. had little difficulty in beating Oxford University in the last of its trial matches, begun at Lord’s on Thursday. Heavy rain prevented a commencement Juntil after three o’clock, and when a start was made Oxford fared so badly against the bowl­ ing of Pougher, and towards the finish of George Hearne, that the tenth wicket fell with the total only 95. Nearly two-thirds came from the bat of Mr. Llewelyn, who made 57 out of 67 while he was in. He gave no chance during the hour and three-quarters he was in, and his batting was the one redeeming feature of a disappointing display. During the last hour and a quarter on Thursday, Marylebone scored 69 for the loss of three batsmen, and this total was increased to 183 on the following morning. Much of the credit of this respect­ able total was due to the excellent cricket of Messrs. Kitcat and Leese, who put on 68 for the seventh wicket. Oxford had a hard uphill game before them when they entered on their second innings, being in a minority of no less than 88 runs. But for Mr. Palairet’s excep­ tionally fine exhibition of batting, too, they would have made only a moderate show. The Repton captain of 1889 has not been seen to better advantage during his first year at Oxford. Going in third wicket down at 16, he played the Marylebone bowling with con­ fidence and judgment for two hours and a quarter. During all that time he gave no chance, and considering the bowlers he had to face, and that the ground was not in a condi­ tion favourable for run-getting, it was a per­ formance of great merit. Just at the finish, too, some good cricket was shown by Messrs. Little and Berkeley, and these two put on 37 for the tenth wicket. Though the Oxford eleven fielded up well when Marylebone went in with 85 to win, the result was never in doubt. Mr. Studd’s vigorous hitting practi­ cally settled the question, and in an hour and a quarter the runs were got for the loss of four batsmen. O x f o RD. First Innings. Mr. W. D.

YORKSHIRE. Continuous rain on Saturday afternoon de rived Essex of what would have been a creditable victory in this match, commenced at L yton on the previous day. The home team were without Messrs. H. G. Owen and F. E. Rowe, but Yorkshire was lacking four of its regular team in Lord Hawke, and Ulyett, Peel and Hall, the last three of whom were representing the North against the Players, at Manchester. A drying sun, after heavy rain, caused the wicket to play very badly at the commencement, and the fast bowling of Mr. Bishop and Pickett, helped by the ground, proved so difficult, that Yorkshire were all out before lunch, on Friday, for 74. The wicket had improved before it came to the turn of Essex to bat, and thanks to the help of Messrs. Lucas and Johnston, Yorkshire’s total was passed before the second batsman was out. The faulty fielding of the visitors was to a great extent r spo sible for this, and Mr.Johnston had two lives when his score was only 15. Later on, though, Mr. Buxton, Littlewood and Mr. Bishop were all seen to advantage, and, thanks to their joint efforts, Essex had a lead of 118 when the tenth wicket fell. Going in again on Friday night, Yorkshire only made a moderate start, and when play ceased, three wickets had fallen for only 40 runs. On Saturdaymorning runs came freely, and thanks to the good cricket of Wainwright, Moorhouse and Redfearn, the 78 required to save the innings were obtained, as well as 22 more. This left Essex with 23 to win, but rain fell so heavily that the umpires decided the wicket to be unfit for play, and the Yorkshire eleven were thus left with a very lucky draw. Y o r k s h ir e .

Though neither side had its full strength for this match, begun at Southampton on Thursday, the result was an interestingmatch, productive, too, of an exciting finish. Somer­ setshire, with the best of the luck in going in first after heavy rain on Thursday afternoon, gained an advantage of 33 runs on the first innings. When they went in a second time, Hampshire wanted 133 to win, and while Mr. Bencraft, who went in first, remained in, there was every chance that they would be got. Unfortunately he was caught the ninth wicket, when only two were wanted to tie, and as the lastman, Young, was dismissed without a run, Somersetshire won a most exciting game by two runs. For Hampshire Roberts bowled 44 overs and 1 ball, 13 maidens, for 97 runs and nine wickets; Soar 6 overs, 9 maidens, for 54 runs and six wickets; Young 7 overs, 20 runs and two wickets; Baldwin 23 overs, 6 maidens, 46 runs, one wicket. For Somersetshire, Tyler bowled 50 overs and 1 ball, 20 maidens, 103 runs, seven wickets ; Nichols 45 overs and 2 balls, 10 maidens, 90 runs, ten wickets; Mr. Fowler 13 overs, 3 maidens, 22 runs, and three wickets.
