Cricket 1893

CBICKET; A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. JUNE 29, 1893 M.C.C. AND G. v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The Cam bridge eleven brotfght their trial m atches to a satisfactory conclusion at L ord ’s yesterday, w ith a areditable victory over a fairly good tide of M.O.O. and Ground. Going in first on Monday, they were batting all day, w ith the innings at the close still incom plete. Douglas and Jackson, the first two batsm en, wero again singularly successful, and 101 was the score when the form er was out. This was a good perform ance against Hearne, Rawlin, Shacklock, Phillips, and Mr. Hedley, and w ith the edge taken off the bowling the rem aining batsm en, with the aid of faulty fielding generally, scored freely. Douglas was out at 185, after an innings lasting three honrs. He had contributed 102 o f the number, and though he had som e luck in the early part, on the whole it was a display worthy of high praise. Hill and Ranjitsinjhi added 72 for the fourth wicket, Streatfeild and Perkins ICO, and at the finish Jones helped Perkins to put on 77 in th«last forty-five m inutes. W hen play ceased on Thurs­ day, Cambridge had scored 466 for eight wickets, and on the following morning the total was raised to 503 before the innings, w hich had lasted six hours and a half, came to a close. Considering the quality of the Marylebone bowling, this was a fine perform ance. The cricket on Tuesday was interrupted twice by rain, and when play had to be abandoned soon after four o ’clock, five batsm en o f M.C.C. had been dismissed for 119. Yesterday m orning the ground was naturally slow, and as the oustanding wickets only added 46, M.C.C. had to follow on in a m inority of 338. A fine catch by Douglas, as in the first innings, dismissed L ord Hawke, who opened the batting with Mr. Pigg. Some good cricket by Messrs. Hedley and O’Brien had raised the score from 37 to 78 for three wickets by lunch time, and 26 m ore were added before the foitaer was caught at the wicket. Mr. O’Brien and Rawlin had taken the score to 148 when the form er was w ell caught at slip for a freely and w ell got 60. After this Rawlin found no one to stay with him , and as when the tenth wicket fell the total was only 183 Cambridge were left with a decisive victory by an innings and 155 runs. C ambridge . Mr. F.

The O xford eleven, with their captain, w ho was playing in Shrewsbury’s benefit at Nottingham, away, were not seen to advantage at any point in this m atch, begun at Brighton on Monday, and were beaten yesterday by ten wickets. Though the wicket was a trifle slow at the outset it was certainly nob so difficult as to explain the poor show of the University, who were dismissed for the small total ot 134. Phillips arrived too late to go in, and o f the other ten, of whom five sot double figures. Brain and W ood were responsible for 18 of 127 from the bat. When Subsex went iD, Oxford were seen to no ketter advantage, and though Bern was out for four, Marlow, Messrs. Murdoch, Newham, Brann, and Heasman, the last o f w hom had not pre­ viously helped Sussex this year, scored so freely that by the end of the day 215 had been scored with only half the side out. Rain prevented any play on Tuesday till after half-past three, o’clook, and then with a wet ground and ball the Oxford bowlers were heavily handicapped. Guttridge helped Mr. a ea-m an to add 63 in a few minutes over the half hour After Gutteridge and Hum phreys had been dis­ m issed, the amateur, who had made 65 without a mistake, was driven on to his wicket by a lob. The last two batsm en, Tate and Hilton, also hit with vigour, and they were still in when play ceased on Tuesday, with the total 341 for nine wickets. The Sussex captain having closed his innings. yesterday m orning O xford had to go in with 207 to avert an innings defeat. A good stand by Fry and Leveson-Gower, for the third wicket, was the first incident of any note, Humphreys’ lobs, however, effected a separation, and though Fry made fifty, at luncheon time the score was 160 with half the side out. W ood and Bathurst added 64, but excepting Arkwright the later batsmen did nothing, and the innings event­ ually closed for 247. Th s left Sussex with 41 to win, and as Bean and Marlow got these without difficulty, Oxford were beaten by ten wickets. O xford U niversity . First Innings. Mr. R. C. N.
