Cricket 1893

AUG. 3, 1893 ORIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 819 TW E N T Y -FIFT H MATCH—v. OXFORD AND CAM BRIDGE (PAST AND PRESENT). Under ordinarily favourable circumstances a meeting between the Australians and the full strength of the Universities (Past and Present) would have been an interesting fixture. The strain of first-class cricket nowadays though is pre­ judicial to the success of fixtures where the players are identified with any of the leading counties. The match begun on the United Services’ ground at Portsmouth, on Monday, was an illustration of the difficulty of getting such a side together. At the last moment several of those who had promised to play were obliged to withdraw from various reasons, and in the end the eleven was very weak, only including four players who take any part in important matches. The bowling of the Univer­ sities was very weak, and the Australians punished what there was mercilessly. Winning the toss was, of course, a great advantage, and they utilised it so well that at the end of the first day only four batsmen had fallen for an aggregate of 346. Lyons began by scoring 51 out of 72 in 45 minutes, and at lunch time the total was 109 for one wicket. George Giffen was second out at 133, Trott third at 221, Gregory fourth at 23G, and then Bannerman, who had been in a little matter of four hours, and Graham played out time, the former having scored 102 out of 346, the latter 61 of the last 110. On Tuesday the Australians were again batting all day, and oddly enough in this time also lost four wickets. Graham, after adding 22 and scoring in all 183 out of 136 in an hour and three-quarters, was caught, and Banner­ man was out just before lunch with the total at 469. His innings had lasted six hours, and as an exhibition of his usual watchful methods it was worthy of all praise. Bruce had meanwhile been hitting with great vigour, and Trumble and he punished the weak bowling with equal severity. Altogether the partnership produced 232 runs in 2hours and 20minutes,and of these Trumble had scored 105, a brilliant display of free cricket, the highest as well as by far the best score he has as yet made in this country In the next over Bruce was stumped. His 191 was, too, quite the best per­ formance he has done in England. He hit with great resolution all round, and his score (only spoiled by two chances, one just after he had got a hundred, and the second a few runs before he was out) contained no less than twenty-eight fours, eight threes, and twenty-one twos, .Just after he was out the highest English record in first-class cricket (703) was passed, and Walter Giffen and Turner, who were still in on Tuesday evening with the total 805, had beaten the best record one of 803, in the memorable match between Smokers and Non-Smokers on the East Melbourne ground in March, 1887, before play ceased. The inn­ ings was finished yesterday for an addition of 38 runs, Turner and Walter Giffen being both dismissed. The total of 843 thus beat the best on record in a first-class match by 40 runs. Alto­ gether the Australians had been at the wickets ten hours, so that runs had come at the rate of 84£ runs an hour. Three batsmen, too, got over a hundred—a rare feat in an im­ portant match. In all, ten bowlers were tried as will b3 seen, and of the ten Arkwright, the Oxonian, had the best figures with two wickets for 62. In the rungetting condition of the wicket there was really no chance of a definite finish when the Universities went in soon after one o’clock. Forster, Wilson, and Ranjitsinhji were seen to the best advantage, and, as will be seen, the trio were responsible for 121 of 185 from the bat. Following on in a minority of 65 2 tT. Universities had scored 82 for the loss of 1 Lindley when the game came to an end. In al 1,116 runs were scored in the match; for 21 wickets At the finish the Universities wanted 570 to avert an innings defeat, with niue wickets to fall. A ustralians . Mr. J. J.

The Derbyshire Eleven won this m atch, begun on M onday at Derby, yesterday by 173 runs. The lax fielding of Leicestershire enabled their opponents to put together a good total in the second innings. Rain overnight, too, had made the wicket very difficult yesterday, and this effectually settled Leicestershire’s chances. E'er Derb) shire, Hulme took eleven wickets at a cost of 86 runs.
