Cricket 1894

JtJNE 28, 1894 ^KICKETs A WEEKLY RECORD OB' THE GAME* 227 incourtesy to them after watching them at Dewsbury. Nearly all my correspondents since have pitched into me. But 1 spoke in perfect good faith ; I would infinitely sooner praise tban censure either in cricket or any other department. Strong words break no bones. As long as a man hits above the “ mark,” I never complain. But no mean, cowardly back handers, if you please ; le" us be fair all round, and never forget our manners. I am glad Tate and Hilton are back again in tbe Sussex eleven, and still more delighted that Murdoch (79 and 52 not out) showed some of bis rare, old form, tban which there never was a better. SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. The wicket at Brighton, when this match legan on Thursday last, had not thoroughly recoveied from the long rainfall. Assured that with a continuance of fine weather it would improve rapid y, Mr. Murdoch decided on winning the toss to put the University in. The early play, too, fully showed the accuracy of his judgment, as 'late and Hilton bowled with such cffect, that in two hours and a quarter Cambridge had been dismissed for a sma 1total of 114. The commencement of the County’s first innings was hardly more promising, as three of the best batemen were *ut for only 21. Home really fine ci icket by Messrs. Murdoch and Arlington worked a complete change. Both bats­ men played with freedom and confidence, and there was hardly a fault of any kind to be found with their partnership, which increased the score in an hour and a quarter by i10 runs. When play ceased oq Thursday night Sussex had made 21L for the loss of eight wickets, and as on the following morning 25 were added the University were in a minority of J22 on the first innings. When they went iu again a much better start was made, and afier 58 had been put on for the first wicket, Messrs. Douglas and Field added 132 for the second partnership. Both batsmen played good cricket, though neither’s display was abso­ lutely faultless. Mr. Douglas, who was the first to go, was batting over two hours and a half, with one chance to the bowler when he had made 49. Mr. Field, who was fourth out at 276, eliou’d have ) een caught at the wicket when he had got ten. Otherwise there was no mistake iu the innings. After Mr. Field’s retirement the batting was very disappointing, so much so that the last six wickets only added 47 runs. Bean and Marlow, who commenced the fourth innings with 202 to win, had made 18 of the Lumber without the fall of a wicket on Fiiday night. Twenty-five were added on Saturday morning before Mario w was out, and 68 more had teen put on when Bean, who had played excellent cricket, was caught in the slips. When Mr. Newham joined his captain 91 were still wanted to win, and the two unateurs both at their best, knocked off the balance in fine style, g lining a splendid lictory for their side.

LANCASHIRE v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Lancashire won their return match with Oxford, played at Manchester on Thursday and Friday, as they had the previous game at Oxford some three weeks before. On this occasion twelve played on each side, which gave the Oxford captain the opportunity of another trial to Mr. R. w. Bice. Though Mr. Fry won the toss, Oxford made a "very disappointing show against the bowling of Briggs and Mold. Mr. Mordaunt was indeed the only batsman who shaped at all we 1 against them. He gave a chance when he had made £9, but otherwise his innings was a capital display of free and attractive cricket. He made just one half of the runs from the bat, and as will te seen, eight of the Oxford twelve only made nine runs between them. Briggs, who had bowled with preat success for Lancashire, was also seen to the best advantage when their turn came to t at. He hit with great resolution, and his 59 was distinctly the feature of Lancashire's innings. Oxford, who went in a second time on Tuesday morning in a minority of 74 runs, made a bad start, losing Mr. Leveson-Gower in the second over. Still, thanks to the free cricket of Mr. Palairet and a determined stand l y Messrs Foster and Mordaunt, The Uni­ versity looked at OLe time like makiog a good match of it. Messrs. Foster and Mordsunt put on 91 for the second wicket, and whi e they were to­ gether things were very promising for their side. Mr. Foster played with great care aud judgment, and Mr. Mordaunt, though he gave two chances just before he was out, up to a certain point p’ayed admirable cricket. Mold’s bowling, though, proved so irresistible with the later batsmen that the game after luncheon on Fiiday underwent an extraordinary change. The last eight wickets, indeed, only added4^runs, and of these Mold took six, all clean bowled, at a cost of but nineteen runs. Wanting 132 to win, Lancashire lost six batsmen before the task was accomplished. The one feature of the batting was the excellent display of Mr. Maclaren. But for him the county might have been very near losing. Going in first he made 83 of the first 130 runs, and there was only one possible chance, and that just before he was out, during the hour and fifty minutes he was in. Mr Bathurst was in great form with the ball. All the six wickets down fell to him, and, as will be seen, at a cost of just over six runs apiece. O x f o r d U n iv e r s it y . EOWLING ANALYSIS.
