Cricket 1890

284 CRICKET : A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 8, 1890. YORKSHIRE v. SURREY. H a l l ’ s B e n e f it . The heavy rain which delayed the com­ mencement of this match at bheffield until half-past four o’clock on Tuesday afternoon, was doubly unfortunate. On the form shownby the two Counties this season it would have been more satisfactory to the general public to have seen the game played out on a good wicket and under fairly favourable circum­ stances. The wet weather, though, was the more to be regretted for another important reason, because it altogether ruined the success of a match which had been set apart for the benefit of L. Hall, a player who has not only done yeoman service to his County for many years, but borne an unblemished reputa­ tion during a long cricket career. Incessant rain prevented the delivery of a ball on Monday, and so persistent was the downfall on the following morning, that there seemed small chance even of a start on Tuesday. The wicket, though, dried more quickly than was expected, and a commencement was made at 4.30 on Tuesday afternoon. Yorkshire were fortunate enough to win the toss, but they failed to profit as much as was expected from the easy condition of the ground. Ulyett, who was the exception, made 38 out of the first 53 runs, but no one else except Moorhouse made a stand, and in the two hours, reduced by an interval from rain of twenty minutes, seven wickets fell for 94. On the resumption yesterday Moorhouse hit freely, but Mr. Whitwell and Hunter gave little trouble, and in thirty-five minutes the innings was over for an addition of 16. Loh­ mann took six wickets for 46 runs. Mr. Shuter and Lockwood, who commenced the batting for Surrey, scored freely from Peel, and 39 had been made before the professional was caught in the long field. After Mr. Shuter’s departure Mr. Read and Abel played well, but Peel proved too much for the later batsmen, and, though at luncheon the score was 124 for seven wickets, the total only reached 129. Peel, as will be seen, came out with good figures, taking eight of the nine Surrey wickets which fell to the bowlers at a cost of 60 runs. Rain had fallen heavily during the luncheon interval, and the delay caused thereby prevented any chance of finishing the game. The Yorkshiremen, though, thanks chiefly to some good batting by Peel, made a fairly good show in their second innings, scoring 71 for the loss of four batsmen. The game was consequently drawn, Yorkshire being 52 on with six wickets in hand. Y o r k s h ir e . First Innings. Brown, c Lockwood, b L ohm ann.......... 4 Mr W. F.

On the respective forms of the two elevens, the result of the fifty-sixth Inter-University was generally, and with reason, regarded as a certainty—as far,that is, as anything in cricke^ can be certain—for Cambridge. Oxford had, in one or two instances, shown themselves to be a better side than was at first expected. Still, all-round, it must be admitted that on paper there was every justification for the strong belief prevalent that, under ordinarily favourable conditions, Cambridge would have an easy win. They were, all-round, the better side beyond a doubt. In batting they were far above the average, with run-getters to the last man. Mr. Woods, who had been nursing himself after a strain early in the season, was rightly regarded as far and away the most dangerous bowler in either eleven, and in Mr. McGregor the Light Blues had, undeniably, the best amateur wicket-keeper of the day. On a fast wicket the Cambridge batting would have, in all probability, been seen to great advantage, but the continuous rain at the end of last weekprevented anychance of a reallyrun- getting pitch,a luxury so far this season ararity Nor was the chief match of the season free from the dreary surroundings which were the common experience of all cricket grounds on Monday. Not a ball, indeed, could be bowled on that day, and though the weather did admit of nearly an innings and a half on Tuesday, rain came down so heavily just before luncheon as to make the wicket unfit for play during the afternoon. The Oxford captain was fortunate enough to win the toss, and, as the wicket was, this was considered a happy augury by their supporters. With a view to making the best use of the ground while it w’as easy Smith was sent in first with Llewelyn, and, as it happened, he got the highest score of the side, more than one-half of the total. Dauglish, who went in tenth, was credited with 9 of the other 17 got from the bat, so that nine of the eleven, five of whom failed to score, could only claim 8 between them. Messrs. Woods and Streatfeild were un­ changed during the innings, which lasted an hour and seven minutes, the former taking four wickets for 25, the latter five for 14 runs. Cambridge had only about fifty minutes for batting before rain stopped the game, as it proved, for the day, and during this time made 40 runs at a cost of three of their best batsmen. On resuming yesterday, the wicket played better than was expected, and Jackson and Foley raised the total to 60 before the former was bowled. He had been batting a few minutes under the hour, and his innings was of the greatest value to the side. The telegraph showed 90 up at one time with only half the wickets down, but when the Oxford captain came on to bowl he proved very suc­ cessful, and the last four batsmen were dis­ missed for an addition of only 6, the innings coming to an unexpectedly early close for 97. Foley was the highest scorer with 26. He wa.s at the wickets just over an hour and three quarters for his runs. Oxford began their second innings in a minority of 55, and thanks to a determined stand by Jardine and Wilson on the fall of the second wicket, the arrears were wiped off with only three bats­ men out. After their separation, though, no one except Palairet could do much with the bowling until Bradby came in. The latter hit freely, but with the total at 108, and with his retirement, the innings closed. Cam­ bridge, left with 54 to win, made a fairly good start, Douglas making 17 befoie he was bowled. The speedy dismissal of Jackson and McGregor raised the hop3s of Oxford a little, but the free hitting of Ford soon knocked off the runs still wanted, and the game ended with Cambridge in possession of an easy victory by seven wickets. The winners were undoubtedly the better eleven at all points. Cambridge has now won twenty-eight, Oxford twenty-five matches. The otner three have been arawn.
