Cricket 1891

m a t 7, 1891 C R IC K E T : A W E E K L Y RECORD OP T H E GAME . J 93 C R IC K E T A T C A M B R I D G E . THE F R E SH M E N ’ S M A TCH . I n the absence of the Captain of the University Eleven, G. McGregor, one of the two sides of Freshm en for the annual match begun at Cambridge, on Thursday, was directed by E . C. Streatfeild, the other by B. N. Douglas. T he Twenty-tw o included several public school cricketers w ith high reputations, and as the game proved, one at least of them, C. M . W ells, showed all-round cricket of more than ordinary prom ise. He opened the batting for Douglas’ s side, with Dickinson of E ton, who, as will be remem ­ bered, was seen to great advantage against Harrow last year. Both batsmen shaped well, and the score had nearly reached the hundred before the first wicket fell. Later on, Pilkington, Low , Keysall, H eseltine, and Finch did fairly well, and the total was raised to 259 before the innings closed. Six bowlers were tried, and of these the best perhaps was Tilley. W hen Streatfeild’s eleven went in to bat,W ells bowled, too, with considerable success, and w ith Blain helped to get the side out for a com paratively small aggregate of 110. In the follow -on, how ­ ever, Streatfeild's side made a much better show, so much so that when play ceased on Friday night they had saved the innings and were nine runs on with only seven wickets down. The credit of this improvement rested with the tw o Old Etonians Toilemache and Cooper. W hile they were together they added 75, and the latter made 80 before he was dismissed. H e hit with considerable freedom, and his score included no less than eleven fours. Owing to heavy rain on Satur­ day m orning it was decided to have a new wicket. Robinson, who was not out nine over­ night, showed excellent defence, and Streat­ feild hit away freely at the finish, carrying out his bat for a vigorous 89. W ells and Blain were this tim e not tried with the ball until the innings had far advanced, and the best bowling was that of H eseltine, whose five wickets cost 54 runs. Going in w ith 141 to win Wells again batted in excellent style for his 39,and his all round cricket fully upheld the reputation he gained at Dulwich. Pilking- ton’s defence, too, was admirable, and he was in when the match was finished, the victory of Douglas’ side b y seven wickets being in a great measure due to his judioious play. Hoare at the close bowled with great success. Six of the eight batsmen out fell to him at an average cost of eleven and a half runs. M r . R. N. D ouglas ’ s S ide . First Innings. Second Innings. C.

A f t e r having all the worst of the opening stages of the game on Monday, R ow ell’s side played up so pluckily on Tuesday as to con­ vert what at the end of the first day seemed to be a certain defeat into a highly creditable victory. The m ajority of Martin Scott’s side, who went in first, found the bowling of Aston, the well-know n R ugby footballer, too m uch for them . H is perform ance was out of the ordinary, as he got seven of the eleven wickets at an average of just under seven runs. W hen they took the field, Scott’ s eleven were seen to better advantage, and chiefly through the effective bowling of Burney, who also took seven wickets, though at a slightly higher cost than those of Aston, they succeeded in dismissing the in-side for a small total of 91. O nly three of the twelve batsmen got double figures, and the highest score, as will be seen, was F ryer’s 24. The chief feature o f Martin Scott’s second innings was the good cricket of Braybrooke and Crawford. The latter was respon­ sible for nearly one half of the total, and his 93, which included thirteen 4’s, five3’s, and five 2’s, was an exceptionally good display of vigorous crioket. Aston, though not so effective as in the first innings, again bowled w ith some success. Altogether in the match, he took eleven wickets for 108 runs. W anting 269 to win when they went in a second tim e, the game seemed to be all against Row ell’s side. The batting this tim e however, showed a great improvement,and sowell did the eight who did go in acquit themselves that all got double figures. The m atch ended in an exceedingly well-deserved victory for R ow ell’ s side w ith five wickets to spare, M r . W . M a r t in S c o tt ’ s S id e . First Innings. W.
