Cricket 1894

238 CRICKET s A WEEKLY EECORD OF THE GAME* JULY S, 1894 OXFORD v. CAMBRIDGE. P u blic opin ion had satisfied itself th a t the O xford eleven this year w as the better o f tw o sides n ot qu ite u p to the b est standard o f Inter- U n iversity cricket. I h e experience o f the m a tch began at L o rd ’s on M onday, and finishe d yesterday, show ed that th is estim ate w as quite justified. O n paper, in deed, O xford had the best o f a com p arison in th e m atter o f all-ronnd cricket, and th eir v ictory w as q u ite in accorda n ce w ith p u b lic form . T h e O xford captain, too, w as fortu n ate enough to get th e ch oice o f innings, but n otw ith stan d in g the rain in th e early m orn in g of T u esday, the w eather h eld up during th e m atch, and th e gam e w as pla yed ou t under m ore even con d ition s than m igh t have been expected. T h e early b attin g o f O xford, though fairly good, w as n o t o f a very striking character, and at the lu n ch eon in terval on M onday, Palairet, L eveson - G ow er, F oster, and M ordaunt had been dism issed fo r 117. T he best cricket o f the innings w as seen on the resum ption. P h illips,w h o w asF ry’s partner, pla yed in very attractive style w ith plenty of freedom , and o f the 137 scored in th e hour and three-quarters they w ere togeth er he claim ed 78 w ith ou t a m istake. F ry, w h o had from th e first show n great care, received useful assistance from Raikes, but w hen L ew is, th e C aptain, ca m e in w as still seventeen short o f the hundred. M indful that he m ust m ake the runs h im self now . he w ent in for a m u ch m ore vigorous gam e, and he had ju st got in to three figures w hen L ew is w as bow led. F ry had been in over three h ours and a h a lf fo r his score o f a hundred, an innings o f in estim able value to th e side, and the ou tcom e o f steady and ju d iciou s cricket. C am bridge, in the forty m inutes le ft on M onday night, m ade 67 fo r th e loss o f tw o w ickets. B oth M itchell and F ield w ere ou t in the Becond over, and it w as th e good crick et of B runton and D ouglas, w ho added 62 in a little over h a lf an hour, that gave the gam e a better aspect. On T uesday m orning M r. D ouglas w as bow led im m ediately, bu t L atham and B runton m ade a stand and i 9 w ere added b efore the la tter w as cau gh t fo r a m ost u seful, as w ell as excellent, iD nings of 47. W ith eight run s added L ath a m w as ou t and then P erkins and N. F . D ruce increased th e score b y 52 runs in fifty m inutes. T ow ards th e end o f the partnership th e crick et w as rather tedious, and D ruce’s 39, th ou gh a usefu l innings, w as deciJedly lucky. A t lu n ch tim e on T uesday the score w as 219 fo r eight w ickets, and in a few m inu tes after the resu m ption the side w ere ou t fo r an addition o f on ly three runs. C am bridge being 116 runs to the bad, h a d o f course, to follow on, and w ith D ouglas ou t at 29 to a g ood ca tch in th e slips, they com m en ced th eir second innings in a far from prom ising style. M itchell and F ield, b y very slow cricket, took th e score to 61. w hen b o th left. W ith L ath am a n dB ru n ton in the batting im p roved considerably, but a t 106 L ath a m w ho had given a ch a n ce ju st before h e w as out, played on. P erkins began to h it directly he cam e in, m ak­ ing nineteen very q u ickly off F orbes, and w ith B ru n ton playin g very fine cricket, the hopes of C am bridge revived. W h en 51 had been added, how ever, in ju st half-an hour, another fine ca tch b y F ry closed P erkins’ innings. H is dism issal w as th e foreru n n er of a rapid dow nfall. N. F . D ruce w as oufc to a good ca tch in the lon g field, and at 190 three other w ickets fell, B runton cau gh t at m id-off, P op e lbw ., and W . G . D ru ce cau gh t in the slips B ru n ton had played exceedingly g ood cricket, fo r tw o hours. H e ou gh t to have been run ou t early in the innings, *u t there w as n o real m istake until h e had m ade 52, w hen h e gave a very easy ch a n ce to point. H is play w as d istin ct'y the feature o f C am bridge’s battin g. T he last tw o w ickets added 10, and w ith the cl se o f thelinnings, pla y ceased fo r the day. Y esterday, O xford had to go in for the fou rth innings w ith 85 to win. L eveson-G ow er and P alairet w h o opened th e b a t­ ting, w ere both out at 53, ea ch in the sam e w ay, ciu g h t in the slips T hen F oster and M ordau n t quickly knocked off the th irty w anted, and at 12-45 O xford had w on b y eight w ickets. A great part in this success, it m ust b e stated w as played by the tw o bow lers. Bar.Jswell and B athurst. Tne form er kept an excellent len gth in C am bridge’s second innings, and in the m a tch altogether took eight w ickets fo r 101 runs. O f the hixty m atches now pla yed C am bridge has w on thirty, O xford 27, and three have been left unfinished O x f o r d —F irst Innings. L . C. V . B athurst, c and b R obinson G. B.

L an cash ire w on th e toss, bu t began badly, losing the elder M cL aren w ith the total on ly five, a life to A lbert W ard directly he cam e in proved very expensive, fo r th e professional h elped Mr. A.
