Cricket 1892

JUNE 16, 1892 CRICKET: A WEEKLY BECORD OF THE GAME. 209 CRICKET AT THE UNIVERSITIES. OXFORD. T3E UNIVERSITY v. SOMERSETSHIRE. The eleven brought their home fixtures to a close on Friday with a victory over Somersetshire, their first match with that county. While Mr. R. T. Jon 38 was the only absentee from the University side, the county had not its full strength, with Messrs. L. C. H. Palairet and V. T. Hill playing on the opposing side, and Messrs. J. B. Challen and R. C. N. Palairet also unable to assist. The County eleven was completed by the inclusion of two Oxford seniors—Messrs. H. A. Tapsfield and C. E. Dunlop. Somersetshire batted first, and on an excellent wicket ran up a total of 193 in two hours and a half. The best stand was while Nichols and Mr. Hewett were together. The pair added 74 runs for the third wicket in forty minutes before Mr. Hewett was out at 111—caught at cover-point—for a dashing innings of 54. Nine batsmen had been dismissed for 161, but a useful ftand by Tyler and Mr. Wickham improved matters considerably, realising 52 runs for tho last wicket. The University batsmen made a most disappointing start. Mr. Hill hit up 27, but Messrs. Phillips, Richmond, and Palairet were soon dismissed, and with four wickets down the total was 34 only. Mr. Case then joined Mr. Fry, aud 36 were added before Mr. Case was bowled. Mr. Little assisted the Old Reptonian to raise the score to 141, and at half-past six, when stumps were drawn for the day, Mr. Fry, who had scored very rapidly, was still in with 105 to his credit out of a total of 198 for seven wickets. On Friday morning the innings closed for an addition of 20 runs, Mr. Fry being out leg-before to Tyler. His bril­ liant innings of 110 only occupied two hours and ten minutes. He hit fifteen 4’s, and barring a hard chance to the wicket-keeper, no fault could be found with his excellent display. His hitting on the off-side was exceptionally severe. The wicket had deteriorated somewhat when Somer­ setshire batted a second time, in a minority of 25 runs. Still this hardly accounted for the very poor show made by the county batsmen against the bowling of Messrs. Berkeley and Wilson. Mr. Robinson hit very hard, indeed, and scored 39 runs out of 44 whilst he was in. Of the others, Mr. Woods alone reached double figures, and the innings closed for 81. Mr. Wilson took four wickets at a cost of just under six runs each, and Mr. Berkeley alBO had a good analysis. Oxford only requiied 57 to secure a win, and these were made for the loss of three batsmen. Mr. Palairet, who was missed at slip, hit Nichols for four 4’s in one over, and finished the match with a splendid hit for six off Tyler. Oxford won the match by seven wickets.

THE UNIVERSITY v. H HEWETT’S ELEVEN. After their excellent show against Surrey at the Oval last week, the performance of the Cambridge eleven on Monday and Tuesday in the last of their home matches was a great disappointment. Somersetshire being unable to take twelve of the County to Cambridge, the captain had to enlist Messrs. Cooper and McGregor, so that the ti'le of the match had to be changed to Mr- Hewett’s Eleven against Cambridge. At thf outset the wicket was suffering from the effects of the heavy rains, and at the end of the first day twenty-one wickets had fallen for 247 runs. On Tuesday, though, the batsmen, on one side at least, were seen to much better advantage. Somersetshire, who had overnight made 69 ifor the loss of Mr. Hewett’a wicket, fared badly on the resumption, losing Messrs. Cooper and McGregor very quickly. A determined stand by Mr. Woods and Nichols, however, quite changed the aspect of the game. The amateur should have been caught by the wicket-keeper, standing back, when he had only made 12, and for this mistake Cambridge suffered dearly. While he hit all-round in brilliant style Nichols kept up his wicket, and when Mr. Wood was caught at third man he had made 103 out of 160 added since the fall of the last wicket. He was only in an hour and thirty-five minutes, and as a display of vigorous all-round hitting his innings was worthy of the highest praise. This is the first hundred he has made in a first-class match. Nichols, after batting for two hours and twenty minutes, was bowled for a sound as well as in­ valuable score of 64. The later batsmen did little, and the innings ultimately closed for 316. With 301 to win the University made a very bad start, Mr. R. N. Douglas bei g again dismissed without scoring. A useful stand by Weigall and J. Douglas added 24 for the fifth wicket, but except for these two batsmen, who made 68out of 104 from the baf,, the display was very disappointing. Mr. Hewett’s eleven won in the end with 194 runs in hand. Tyler’s bowling was the great feature of the match. His fourteen wickets were got at an average of under sixfruns. Though twelve batted only eleven fielded on each side. M r . H. T. H ewett ’ s T eam . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr.H. T.
