Cricket 1891

150 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OP THE GAME. JUNE 4,1891 MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. WARWICKSHIRE. After the recent rains there was only a very remote chanoe that this match, begun at Lord’s on Thursday, would extend over the second day, that is if the weather only held up. As it was, though showers more than once inter­ fered with the progress of the game on the first day, Warwickshire were seen to so much better advantage against a strongish side of M.C.C. that they were able to claim a win very soon after lunoheon on Friday afternoon, with 9 wickets to spare. Though they had the advan­ tage of going in first, and were in for nearly two hours and a quarter, the Marylebone eleven were only able to realise a moderate total of 74. Of this number, Barnes, Chatterton and Mr. Robertson contributed 55, and of these just one half were credited to the first named. Pallett bowled with great success, his six wickets costing only a fraction over six runs a piece. The weather and wicket had some­ what improved when Warwickshire went in, and Mr.J)ocker and West made the best use of their opportunities, scoring so freely that the opposite total was passed with only three men out. Subsequently, however, seven wickets were down for 91, and it was only a useful stand by Mr. Maul and Collishaw that gave the county a lead of 71 runs, Mr. Maul carrying his bat out for an excellent 36. Going on with their second innings on Friday morning, Marylebone had at one time 50 up with six men still to go. This promise was only momentary, however, as West and Pallett afterwards carried all before them. Alec Hearne was at the wickets two hours for his 24, and Mr. Robertson again played steady cricket, carrying out his bat for a very useful 17. Warwickshire, left with only 31 runs to win, made them for the loss of one batsman, though another wicket should have fallen had Mr. Bainbridge been caught as he ought to have been. Though he was greatly assisted by the condition of the ground, Pallett’s bowling performance—nine wickets for 81 runs—was one of considerable merit. M.C.C. & G. First Innings. A.

The ill-luck whioh had persistently followed the Cambridge eleven in their earlier fixtures was fortunately absent at the end of last week. Though Yorkshire sent, in the absence of Lord Hawke and Mr. E . Smith, a fairly strong side, and had the advantage of winning the toss, the University played up so well that they were able to bring their home matches to a close with a very creditable victory. Mr. Woods was fortunately able to assist Cambridge, and indeed the full strength was available with the one exception of Mr. Streatfeild, who, though expected, could not after all take his place in the eleven. Owing to the recent rains, the wicket was naturally soft, and as a consequence the bat­ ting on both sides was uneven. In Yorkshire’s first innings, Ulyett, who is in his best vein apparently this season, Peel, and Moorhouse were responsible for 98 out of a total of 109. Ulyett’s batting was in strong contrast to that of the rest of his side, and he scored 51(out of 68 while in) by some exceedingly well-timed hit­ ting. Mr. Woods bowled throughout the innings, but it was Mr. F. S. Jackson who was mainly responsible for the downfall of the last seven wickets of Yorkshire. As on a former occasion, he was seen to great advan­ tage when bowling against his own county, and as will be seen his figures were really fine. At the outset of the Cambridge innings, wickets fell fast before the excellent batting of Peel and Harrison. Mr. Douglas, indeed, who went in first, could get nobody to stay with him until Mr. Jephson came, and this pair made an exceedingly welcome stand for the eighth wicket, adding 49 runs. Douglas, who had been batting two hours for his 49, then had to leave, but Jephson found so useful a partner in the Hon. M. G. Tollemache, that in the end Yorkshire’s total of 118 was headed by 2 runs. Showers, which fell at frequent intervals during Friday morning, did not tend to improve the condition of the ground, and the Yorkshiremen, on facing the bowling of Woods and Jackson a second time, fared even worse than before. Again the only pleasing feature of the batting was the free cricket of Ulyett. Considering the conditions under which he had to bat each time, it was a great achievement to score as he did exactly one-half of the Yorkshire aggregate of 192. In his second innings he made 45 out of 77 got while he was in, and his figures included a hit out of the ground for 6. The Yorkshire innings, which eventually closed for b9, un­ derwent one or two remarkable changes, as at one time the score was 65 for three wickets, and less than half-an-hour afterwarde was 74 for eight. Mr. Jackson’s bowling for the whole of the match read, ten wickets for 65, an exceptionally fine performance. The University were set 88 to get to win, but so diffioult was the ground, that the task occupied them just under two hours and a half. Moreover, it cost them six good batsmen, and the result might then have been different but for a mistake in the field, whereby Cooper was let off. As it was, Hill and Tollemache proved equal to the occasion, and the former made the hit which gave Cambridge the Jvic- tory with four wickets to spare. Y orkshire . First Innings.
