Cricket 1892

JUNE 80, 1892 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 249 M.C.C. AND GROUND v. OXFORD UNIVER SITY. Though as usual confined to two days, the la 3 t trial match of the University elevens was very nearly played out at Lord’s on Tuesday evening. Marylebone was represented by a sfcrongish side, and as the first day left Oxford in a minority of 74 runs, there was then little ground for pre dieting that the University would be very near winning, particularly as they were without their captain in the second innings. The satisfactory position of the game at the finish was produced by the brilliant cricket of Messrs. Phillips Jones, Jardine, and Hill. The foundation of Oxford’s ex cellent performance in the second hands was laid by the two first named. They put on 140 for the first wicket, a fine performance against such varied bowling as the Marylebone captain had at his disposal. Both played well, though in point of style Phillips was the more attractive. He hits all round with great power, and his score of 90 was an exceptionally good display of free and confident cricket. Later on Messrs. Jardine and Hill scored freely off the Marylebone bowlers, all of whom, ex­ cept Mr Hedley, had a bad analysis. Wanting 262 to win, Marylebone, in spite of another brilliant display of free cricket by Mr. Stoddart and some vigorous hitting by Mr. Henery, were very near losing. Mr. Philir son, who had shown to such ad­ vantage in the first inning-*, this time only did little, and when the ninili wicket fell twenty minutes still remained. Geeson.the last man,ought to have been stumped, and this escape had a very important effect on the result. At all events, though play was prolonged till a quarter past seven to admit if possible of a definite result, both men were still in, having added 49 runs. The game was thus left drawn, M.C.C. wanting 62 to win with one wicket to fall. O xford . First Innings. Mr. L. C. H. Palairet.c and b G eeson........................85 Mr. R. T.

Though they had the advantage of going in first at the Oval on Monday, the early batsmen of Gloucestershire made such a disappointing show at the outset that Surrey were able to gain a lead on the first day, whch hardly left the result in doubt. Mr. Ferris, who had just qualified for Gloucestershire under the residential clause, was deputed to open the batting with Mr. E. M. Grace, and Lohmann bowled him off his pad, with the first ball of the match. Lockwood’s bowling appeared to trouble the batsmen at the start, so much so that in the first hour only thirty-five runs were made and at a sacrifice of six good batsmen. The end did not seem to be far off when Mr. Rice, whose first appearance it was for Gloucestershire, joined Capt. Luard. The young Oxford Freshman played with care, while his partner hit freely. Though the former had two escapes his watchful cricket was of great use and he was only out after an hout’s batting in trying to hit. Later on Board played pluckily and eventually the total reached 143, a much larger tot 1 than at one time seemed likely. Capt. Luard carried out his bat after adding 75 of the last 108 runs. Though at first he had some luck in placing the ball, when he sfttled down he played in -excellent style and his innings as a who’e well deserved tho hearty applause he received on hi« return to the pavilion. It is not often that such a promising first appearance has been recorded at the Oval. Capt. Luard showed pluck and confidence at a time when things were going aM against his side. Most of his rung were got on the off side, and some of his strokes were very crisp and well timed. Surrey had three hours for batting on Monday, and in that time scored 249 runs for the loss of half their wickets. Abel, who went in first, showed his usual care, taking on hour and twenty-five minutes to make his forty. Lohmann on the other hand hit very freely at times, scoring 45 of 78 while he WiS iD. The mokt lively cricket of the day, though, was while Maurice Read and Henderson were to­ gether. In one hour 97runs hsd been added, mninly through the brillianthitting of the former. In a little over an hour and a half he scored 86 runs and when he was apparently certain of his hundred he played a lob into his wicket. With the exception of one chance at 36, there was nothing to detract from a remarkably fine display of cricket. Henderson, who had batted with his usual care, was not out at the end of the first day, and he was still in when the innings came to an end on Tuesday morning. The wicket was a trifl) slow when play was resumed, and the 77 Surrey’s last five wickets added took an hour and three quarters to make. Henderson’s 74 not out was a good display of defensive cricket. He was in altogether three hours, aud gave no chance of any kiud till quite late in his innings. In a minority of 183 Gloucestershire began their second inningd in very auspicious style. Mr. Rice played very carefully, while Dr. E. M. Grace scored, and 69 had been put on in about as many minutes when the Doctor was bowled. Lohmann and Richard­ son, however, were both bowling well, and aided by smart fielding four more wickets were secured for an addition of only 41 runs. By capital cricket Capt. Luard and Painter added 83, but after the latter was dismissed tho end soon came, the innings ultimately closing for 222. Mr. Clarke injured his hand so severely while keeping that he had to retire, giving up the gloves to Abel. Seeing Watts fielding W. Q., however, signified that he had no objection to the substitute keeping wicket, and the offer was utilised with the result that Watts dismissed three of the last five wickets Wanting 40 to win Surrey sent in Mr. Kead and Abel, and 17 of the number were made in the quaiter of a i hour that remained on Tuesday, without the loss of a wicket. There was some idea of trying to finish the match that night, but with the prospect of heavy rain, the Gloucestershire captain was qui-e within his right in keeping to the specified lime. After the heavy thunderstorm of Tuesday evenirg Surrey would have had some trouble to make- many runs, and as it was the 23 wanted were got at a cost of two batsmen. Gloucestershire were beaten by eight wickets. G loucestershire . First Innings. Mr. E. M. Grace, c Loh­ mann, b Lockwood ... 6 Mr. J. J. Ferris, b Loh­ mann ................................ 0 Mr. O.
