Cricket 1892

2 5 2 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OP THE GAME, JUNE 30, 1892 ------- ..... J SUSSEX v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. The Oxford eleven won this match at Brighton early on Saturday afternoon, after a most exciting finish with only ten runs to spare. Rain prevented a commencement until three o’clock on i'huraday afternoon, and then the wicket was naturally so much iu favour of the bowiers that, in the course of four hours, seventeen wickets fell for an aggre­ gate of 235 runs. Oxford, who won the toss, although they lost Jones for only eight runs, made a good start. Palairet and Fry scored so freely that in fifty-five minutes the total was 77, of whicti the captain, who was well taken at mid-on, had made 51 by very attractive cri ket. His retirement was the prelude for a succession of disasters, and Hide and Guttridge bowled with such success that the total, when the eighth batsman left, was 98, forty minutes p. olucing the dismissal of six wickets for an addition of only 21 runs. Some free hitting by Wilson, Case, and Berkeley, how­ ever, gave the game a slightly tetter appearance, and when the laBt wicket fell the total was 146. Guttridge and Hide had both excellent figures, in particular the former, whose four wickets only cost eighteen runs. Sussex had just under an hour aud a half left for play on i hursd«y, and in this time scored fc-9for the lo s of seven batsn e i Mr. Newham was seen to unusual advantig). and he was out just lefore the end of tfie day for a well playei thirty-eight. On Friday the innings was speedily finished. Mr. Wilson, who had damaged his finger in catching his namesake on the previous day, made 35 of the 20 added, and carried out his bat. Wood’s lobs, however, vere too much for the other*, and hi took all the last four wickats at a cost of only 16 runs. Oxford had a useful lead of 37 runs on the first innings, but lost most of their advan­ tage in losing Jones and Phillips for 7 runs. As befjre, though. Palairet and Fry gave the Sussex bowlers trouble, and 52 runs had been added iu a out the same number of minutes when Fry was caught and bowled. After luncheon, Wood and Wilson hit with great resolution, and the latter’s partnership with Palairet added 60 runs in half an hour. The latter, who ultimately c irried out his tat, was in two hours and a half, and helped to score 190. His 75. too, was free from a mistake. The wicket had gradually been getting faster, and when Sussex went in on Fiiday afternoon with 235 to win, their chances seemed rather hopeful. Mr. Wilson and Marlow scored freely after Bean’s retirement, adding 81in a little over an hour. Mr. Newham also was again iu good form, and at the end of the day he was still in with the total at 174 and six batsmen out. Sixty-one were wanted to win when play was resumed on Saturday, and as Hide and Humphreys were got rid of for an addition of ten runs, Oxford seemed to have the game well in hand. Mr. Dudoey, however, stayed while Mr. Newham scored, and with 190 up for eight wickets, the result seemed very open. Mr. Dudney was caught one run later, and when Tate was bowled a match full of incident and variations had ended iu favour of Oxford. Great praise was due to Mr. Newham for his plucky play. He showed great confidence and judgment, and there was no fault to mar an exceptionally good display. O xford U niversity . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. L. C. H.

NOTTS v. SOMERSETSHIRE. Though beaten in the end, the Somersetshire eleven had no reason to be dissatisfied with the show they made, on the whole, iu their first match with Notts, plajed at Tr. nt Bridge at the end of last week, Rain on Thursday delayed the commencement till after oue o’clock, and then Somerset, who won the toss, fared so badly that five of their best batsmen were dismissed in less than an hour for only 57 runs. This was the sum of the first daj’s p la ', as heavy rain prevented any cricket after luncheon. On Friday Attew:ll, who had bow.ed with great cucctss on the previous day, and Flowers soon disposed of the later batsmen of Somerset, aud the last five wickets were secui ed for an addition of 40runs. Though Flowers was soon caught wten Notts went in, Shrews­ bury and Gunn p’ayed so steadily that while they were together fifty was up After their sepira- t on, however, ihe game underwent a re markable change. Attewell scored twenty, but with his exception no oue made any stay, and after all, at the end of the innings, Notts only had a lead of fifteen runs. 'Ihe commencement of Somersetshire’s second inuings was quite sensa tioual. Mr. Fowler, who went in first with Mr. Hewett, had a li e before he had scored. For this mistake Notts paid dearly, a3 the two am iteurs hit away with great resolution an1 runsctme very fast. Ihough Mr. Hewett m ale the greater number, his partner hit with great vigour, and his share of the eighty-seven scored on the fall of the first wicket was 31. Mr. Hewett continued to punish the Nottingham bowlers with equal im partiality, till at 119 Attewell got one past him. In eighty minutes he had made 73, and as a display of clean and f jarless hitting, it was deserving of the highest praise. The vigorous cricket of their captain found no imitators in the tail as events showed. On the contrary, they made a very poor score, and the seven remaining wickets were only accountable for an addition of 40 runs. This collapse was mainly due to the exceptionally fine bowling of Attewell. His seven wickets were obtained at an expense of 57 runs. In spite of their small score in the first innings Notts did not appear to have a very difficult task before them to make 145, wanted to win. Of these nine were got on Friday night, and with Gunn, Shrewsbury, and Mr. Wright out for 56, there was some chance of a good finish. Barnes and Mr. Dixon, however, gave the game a different turn, and then Flowers and Mr.Dixon knocked off the remaining runs, giving Notts a very creditable victory by six wickets. Mr. Dixon gave a rather difficult chance when he had made 16. This was the only mistake, however, while Flowers and he were together, and his play showed great judg­ ment as well as skill. Flowers’ free cricket was worthy of high praise. Attewell’s bowling, too, was an important factor in the result. In the match he got thirteen wickets at a cost of only six and a ha’f runs a piece.

Tne match was practically settled on the previous day, when Surrey, after headiog their opponents by 128, got seven wickets in Lancashire's second inuiugs for 111. Richard­ son’s bowling had much to do with Surrey’s victory. Altogether he took twelve wickets at a cost of under eight runs a-piece. L a n c a s h ir e (2). First Innings. Second Innings.
