202 CRICKET: A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 15, 1893 THE EIGHTH AUSTRALIAN TEAM. TENTH MATCH—v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The Cambridge Eleven suffered their second reverse of the week at Cambridge on Saturday last, when they went down before the Australian team. The University, who went in first, were at the wickets on Thursday till past five o’clock, 'l he earlier batsmen were seen to great advan­ tage, so much so that by luncheon time 156 had been made, with only two wickets down. Douglas and Jackson had set the side an excellent example of bright cricket, putting on 75 in the first forty minutes. Later on Latham, Ranjitsinhji, and Perkins all lent useful assist »mce, so that the outcorm of four hours’ batting was 290 runs. Though less than half an hour remained for play on Thursday night, Lyons end Bannerman made such good use of the time that 47 had been got when stamps were drawn without the loss of a wicket. On Friday morning, Lyons was soon out, but Bannerman, Giffen, and Trott all batted with g>-e£t care, and at lunch time 108 had teen added at a cost of four batsmen. At that time the total was 155 for four wickets, and the chances were all in favour of the Australians having something in hand on the first innings. As it wap, Wells’ plow bowling proved so effective against the later .batsmen that only 41 were put on by the outstanding wicketp, and after all Cambridge had an advantage of ^4 lune. This, of course, necessitated a follow on. in which the in-side we e seen to much greater advantage. Lyons set to work at once with his usual deter- mination,and theUniversity 1owlingwas for a time collared In forty-five minutes81 were got, and of these Lyons, whoBe one chance was at 38, had made 65. Bannerman. Giffen, who had one life, and Trott again shaped well, and the second day closed with the Austra­ lians 66 on, and se\en wickets in hand. On Saturday morning Trott was seen at his besr, and later on Gregory and McLeod were of great value to the side. Just before Trott got out he was missed, but this was the only mistake that could be urged against a really highly deserving display of sound cricket. Cambridge went in for the fourth innings with 226 to win, and fared so badly against Giffen and Turner that six of the batsmen were dismissed for only 40 runs. A p’.uckv stand by Ranjitsinhji and Perkins was the r-nly redeeming feature of some disappointing batting. These two both played with great nerve, but no one else did anything, and as the tenth wicket fell at 308, the Australians were left, in the end, with a well-deseived victory by 117runp. Gay’s wicket- keeping for Cambridge was of a very high class. In the two innings he only gave two byes. C ambridge U n iversity . First Innings. Second Inning. Mr. F. S.

The varying incidents and interesting finish in the first match between the Australians and M.C.C. and G. inve3ted the return, begun at Lord’s on Monday, with additional interest. The original fixture was against the Gentlemen of England, but in the obvious difficulty of collecting a thoroughly representative side, by mutual consent it was decided to substitute a second match against the premier club. The Marylebone eleven was not the same as on the previous occasion. It was, if anything, stronger, as Mr. Marchant, Mr. L. Wilson, Mr. Nepean, Sherwin and Attewell were more than satisfactorily re­ placed by Mr. O’Brien, Bean, Alec Hearne, Stoker and Mr. Kortright, the Essex fast bowler, who made his first appearance in a really important match. The Australians,who were without Messrs. Blackham and Coningham, won the toss, and were batting on Monday for three hours and a quarter. The early part of the irnings was suggestive of a good total. Messrs. Bannerman and Giffen were out for 26, but Messrs. Lyons and Trott stayed together for eighty minutep, in which time 117 runs had been added, lhe former’s 83 was a good illustration of his free and powerful style, his htttinV in front of the wicket being particularly good. Mr. Trott, who had played really fine cricket, was fifth out at J70, and as ihe second half of the innings realised but 61, the total after all only reached 231. In the two hours that remained M.C.C.scored 114 for theloss of only two batsmen, Mr. Stoddart and Gunn. The former played on in the second over, and then Gunn helped W.G. to add 87 runs. The latter, whose masterly play elicited frequent cheeriDg, was still in at the end of the day with 71 of the total of i14 to his credit. On Tuesday morning W.G. was finely caught at point for an addition of only four runs, and then Mr. Tamer bowled with such succbss that four more batsmen were out with only 53 added. Fortunately the tail p'ayed up with pluck, and after Storer and Shacklock had put on 48, Mr. Kortright hit so freely that M.C.C. were in the end able to head their opponents by five runs. Mr. Giffen was too lame to field on Tuesday, and the brunt of the bowling was borne by Mr. Turner, who did a fine performance on a run-getting wicket, taking seven wickets for 86 runs. In their second innings the Australians made a very bad start, losing both Messrs. Bannerman and Trott for four runs. Mr. Lyonp, though, hit vigorously, and when he was out at 6t> after forty minutes’ play, he had mide45, in which were ten fours. With only three batsmen out at 104 there was still a good hope of a sati-factory total. As it was, Mr. Kortright, who was put on to bowl at that figure, worked a wonderful change. No one, indeed, but Mr. Bruce, who carried out hia bat for 46 could do anything with him. He fini-hed up the innings, as he had ihe first, by bowling Messrs. Trumble and Jarvis with consecutive balls. He took five wickets for 72 runs, and considering that it was his first trial in a tig match, it was a fiae performance. Wanting 175 to win, M.C.C. made a promising ntart on Tuesday evening, Messrs. Grace and Stoddart, who were both not out. scoring 83 in *35 minutes, 49 10 the latter, 3) to the former. Yesterday the want of Mr. Giffen’s bowling was severely felt by the Australians,and the Marylebone batsmen were seen to great advantage. W.«9.:only added fifteen, but his partner hit away freely till he was at last bowled by Mr. Trumble for an fxcellent 74. Bean went next, but there the Australian successes ended, and with Flowers and Alec Hearne ii- M.C.C. won by seven wickets. Storei’s wicket- keeping for M.C.C. was particularly good. A ustralians .

Three full days were insufficient to finish the second match of the season between these counties, begun at Brighton 011 Thursday last. As it was, the wicket played so truly to the end that Sussex were able, in spite of the huge score of 674 by Notts, to make a very, under the circum­ stances, creditable draw. Arthur Shrewsbury, who opened the batting lor Notts, was still in at the end of the first day. By that time the score was 376 with only two batsmen, Wharmby and Gunn, out. The dismissal of Wharmby, who was caught at the wicket at eleven, was followed by a remarkable stand of Shrewsbury and Gunn. These two great batsmen, who were both in their very best form, for four hours kept the Sussex eleven hard at work. Gunn scored much the faster, and when the partnership ended after realising 274 runs his share was 156. Barring one chance in the slips when he had got sixteen, his play wa3 absolutely without a fault, and his batting during the greater part of a long innings was attractive and interesting. Barnes later in the day played with great freedom, and so fast was the scoring towards the finish that the last sixty-five minutes produced 91 runs. Shrews­ bury, who was not out 158, only added six on Friday morning before he was caught at point. His innings had lasted five hours and a half, and except for half a chance at the wicket when he had made 125, no fault could be urged against a characteristic display of careful cricket. Barnes, who was not out 48 overnight, saw Flowers go before he was himself dismissed. His score was 102—the third hundred on the side—and but for one very hard return to Humphreys quite early in the innings, there was nothing to spoil a brilliant exhibition of free cricket. Attewell and Mr. Wright added 90, and the former when settled down hit with such success that the chance of a fourth hundred seemed far from remote. When eleven short of three figures, however, he was caught, and the innings, which had lasted nine hours, came to a close for 674. This was only 24 short of the record in first-class inter-county matches, 698, made by Surrey against Sussex at the Oval in 1888. After their long outing Sussex only fared moderately well when they went in on Friday afternoon. The fast bowling of Mee,
