Cricket 1891

CKICKET: A WEEKLY RECOED OF THE GAME. JUNE 25, 1891 M.O.C. & GROUND v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. After the sensational scoring at Brighton at the end of last week the Cambridge eleven could hardly have come up to Lord’s, on Monday, as fresh as could be wished for the last of their trial matches. They had, too, to endure another long outing, though in this case the run getting did not reach anything like the same pitch, and at the same time a valid excuse was to be found for any short­ comings. With a view to give Mr. S. M. J. Woods a rest for the Inter-University match he was loft out of the Cambridge eleven, and as Mr. Wells was also absent the bowling was so much weakened that a place was found for Mr. W. Martin Scott, who had been success­ ful in some of the trial matches. The lack of variety in the attack handicapped them heavily, and Marylebone, who had a fairly strong side, made such good use of their opportunity of going in first that the Univer­ sity were kept in the field for four hours and three-quarters. During this time 283 runs were made, and seven batsmen got double figures. The honours of this performance rested chiefly with Mr. Rowell, a Cambridge Senior, who had done good service in more than one of the trial matches, and Attewell. The amateur, who opened the batting, played with great care for his 63. He was in just over two hours and a half, and though he made several badhits, his score only contained one actual chance to the wicket-keeper when he had made ten. Attewell’s cricket was a great contrast, andhis 62, which only tookhim an hour and a half, was a fine display of free hitting with only one mistake—a catch to cover-point at 34. The heavy rain of Monday night had affected the wicket so much that Cambridge had no chance of showing their real capacity as batsmen, and the bowlers had things so much in their favour that all interest in the game was lost. Still the dis­ play of the University was, even making every allowance, disappointing. In an hour and ten minutes the nine remaining wickets in the first innings were secured by Hearne and Attewell for an addition of only twenty- nine runs, and though when they went in again there was a slight improvement there was generally a want of life in the batting. Messrs. Weigall and Cooperwere seen to the best advantage, but otherwise there was little to call for praise, and as it was the lax fielding of M.C.C. helped to raise the total consider­ ably. Though the University were beaten by an i nings and 134 runs they had somuch the worst of the luck that too much stress should not be laid on their comparatively poor show. Hearn , Attewell, and Barnes, it will be seen, all had good bowling figures, Attewell's were however the most noteworthy, his seven wickets only costing 41 runs. [.C.C. & G. Mr. 0 W.
