Cricket 1891

JUNE 18, 1891 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 181 SURREY v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The first appearance of the Cambridge eleven in London this season was of more than ordinary interest, and for more than one reason. In the first place, though they had been unluoky in their early matches, the University had undoubtedly a strong side at all points. Surrey, too, had been showing fine all-round form, and there was still another special souroe of attraction in the eleven which came to oppose the County at the Oval on Thursday, that it contained no less than five members (Messrs. Streatfeild, Douglas, Jephson, Wells, and Cooper) all qualified for Surrey. For the first time this year Mr. Shuter’s luck in the toss forsook him, and Cambridge were fortunate enough to have first use of the wicket. In spite, how­ ever, of a good start by Messrs. Douglas and Cooper, the score was only 67 when Messrs. Jackson and McGregor became partners on the fall of the fourth wicket. Mr. Jackson hit all round in most determined style until after making twelve off Lockwood’s first over he was caught off that bowler. He was only in an hour and twenty minutes, and his 62 out of 97 made during nis stay was a capital dis­ play of well-timed and resolute all-round hitting. Though thanks to Messrs. Jackson and Streatfeild the soore at one time showed 160 for five wickets, a complete break-down followed Mr. Streatfeild’s dismissal, and the last four batsmen could only add 15 runs. Lockwood, though hit, as already stated, in his first over for twelve, bowled with great success, and his last 22 balls were delivered for three runs and four wickets. Though Surrey did not go in until a quarter past four o’clock on Thursday, in the two hours and three-quarters that remained they managed not only to get through an innings, but to head the Cambridge total byeleven runs. Abel,who again proved to be in fine form, at the outset did nis full share of the scoring, and when he was out the third wioket he had contributed 43 out of 82, without anything like a mistake. The Surrey captain also proved to be in his best vein for run-getting, and though he had some luck, his hitting was by far the finest of the inniDgs. In conjunction with Henderson (who was- unfortunately run out when well set) he put on 65 for the seventh wicket, and his 51 was an excellent display of resolute hitting, though marred by two faults, one an easy chance to mid-off just after he had come in. But for mistakes in the field, indeed, Cambridge should have had the best of Surrey on the first innings, as it was, they were in a minority of 11 runs. Mr. Woods bowled with remarkable precision, and his success was the more noticeable as he sent the ball in at his fastest. He took seven wickete for 91 runs, and had a hand in eight of tho nine wickets that fell, a fine performance. So far, an even and interesting game had been played, and the interest was^maintained right up to the finish. Though Messrs. Douglas and Cooper as in the first innings made a good start, the Univer­ sity afterwards fared badly down to the fall of the fourth wicket, when with Messrs. M’Gregor and Hill together—the latter staying in an hour for 11 runs —a useful stand was effected. Still, seven batsmen were out for 91, and but for some good hitting by Woods and Jephson towards the finish of the innings, the total would scarcely have reached 133. The Cam­ bridge captain’s 27, the highest contribution of the innings, came at a time when runs were badly needed. This time Lohmann was the successful performer with the ball, deliver­ ing eighty balls for 28 runs and five wickets. Surrey only wanted 123 runs to win, and there certainly appeared no reason why they should not get this number. Quite at the start of the innings, Brockwell was missed by Mr. Tollemaehe at extra m id-off; and as he profited by his escape to score 23 runs, this mistake might have cost Cambridge the match. As it was, Surrey, with only half their wickets down for 76, thanks to the good cricket of Lohmann, looked to have the game well in band. Mr. Woods, however, again bowled splendidly, backed by fine fielding,and> the last five men only proving good for 33 runs> Cambridge were left with a well-earned victory by 19 runs, at half-past four on Friday. Mr. W oods’ record for the m atch was fourteen wickets for 154 runs, and his fine bowling was the principal factor in the U niversity’s success. Surrey’s first defeat this season caused a good deal of excitem ent, and Mr. W oods had a great reception on his return to the pavilion. C ambridge U niversity . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr.R.

A somewhat tedious day’s cricket was got through on Thursday, York­ shire completing an innings for 148, and the home team losing two wickets for 61 runs. Ulyett, who followed up his recent good per­ formances with the bat by scoring 40, put on 34 runs for the first wicket in conjunction with Hall. Tunnicliffe, a colt from Pudsey, played with great care, and contributed 33 in a style that promised well for the future. Of the other batsmen, with the exception of Wainwright, who made things lively while he was in, nobody seemed very much at homo with the bowling of Barnes. The first nine overs delivered by the famous Nottingham professional resulted in the dismissal of three wickets for only two runs, and altogether ho sent down seventy-five balls for 16 runs and four wickets. Mr. J. A. Dixon, who had a turn with the ball, also got rid of three batp- men in six overs at a cost of 19 runs. Notts had an hour and forty minutes’ batting, and in that time lost Shrewsbury, who was dismissed without scoring, and Mr. Robinson, for 61 runs. Though up to this point the cricket had been almost painfully slow, on Friday a much freer game was played, and a fine exhibition of batting was given by the home side. Gunn, who had been not out 29 the night before, doubled his score before he was caught at the wicket. He was in two hours for his 58, which weregot without afault. The principal honours were, however, borne off by Barnes, who fol­ lowed up his good bowling of the previous day by a masterly display of batting. He scored 104 in four hours and three-quarters, playing all the bowling with the utmost confidence, and, to the best of our knowledge, giving no actual chance. So popular was his success with those present that a sum of £11 10s. was collected for him in the Pavilion. Barnes derived material assistance from the latter ha'f of the eleven, Flowers, Daft, Attewell, and Shacklock, who all punished the tired bowling with great vigour. Thanks to their efforts, the formidable total of 336 was reached before tho last wicket fell. Yorkshire had thus to go in against arrears of 188, of which they had wiped off fifteen at the close of Friday’ s play. On Saturday Ulyett had soon to leave, and the one lengthy stand of the innings was by Peel and Hall, who put on 60 for the third wicket. At the luncheon interval, the end was palpably near, six men being out for 103. Afterwards Brown and Mr. Sellers gave some slight trouble, but the match was over by four o’clock in the afternoon. It was the first victory of the season for Notts, and one gained by thoroughly good all-round cricket. It will be seen that neither Lord Hawke, Moorhouse, nor Whitehead were playing for Yorkshire, and that their places were filled by Mr. A. Sellers, and the two promising Colts, Tunni­ cliffe of Pudsey, and Wardle of Bacup. Y orkshire . First Innings.
