Cricket 1895

ISO CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 6, 1895. CRICKET AT OXFORD. TELE UNIVERSITY v. KENT. The first defeat of the Oxonians this season was fated to be inflicted by Kent in the match under notice, commenced in the Parks at Oxford on Thurs­ day last. C. B. Fry and R. P. Lewis were absent from the University eleven, but G. B. Raikes played for the first lime this year. During the match there were several casualties, Leveson-Gower being called away by the death of his father, Bardswell and Baisfc both being hurt on the hand, and Martin also being unable to do himself justice owing to a split finger. The first innings of the Oxonians, despite two or three failures, including Warner’s, showed some brilliant if uneven batting. After Foster was bowled at 40 by a ball he did not attempt to play, Smith and Mordaunt added 121 for the third wicket, when the former, who was in for two hours brilliant and attractive cricket, was out for 78, -with ten 4’s and seven 3’s. Mor- daunt’s 60 occupied him an hour-and-a-half, and though he opened unsteadily, he played sound cricket until he was caught at point from a very bad stroke. Leveson-Gower and Phillips put on 68 while together, and after a couple of wickets had fallen quickly Baiss and Arkwright added 32, and the former and Cun- litfe 44 before the end came. Baiss made 52 not out, but was twice missed. Alec Hearne did not airive till after lunch, and his bowling was much wanted. Kent in half-an-hour on Thursday lost Heame’s wicket for 36. In the morning, on a ground somewhat affected by rain, Weigall who replaced Hubbard, caught from the last ball of the first over, made 16 out of 17 runs before being caught in the slips. Tindall had several lives; he was missed at cover-point at 5, should then have been run out easily, and, further, was twice missed at mid on. Easby was out at 115 for 46, the best innings he had played for Kent. He had been in nearly two hours, and 59 had been added for the fourth wicket. Mason and Marchant put on 40 for the sixth partnership when both were out, but Cooper, the young Bickley Park amateur, and Martin set to work, and in an hour they had scored 54 runs, when the professional was well caught left handed from a hot return. Cooper was in eighty.five minutes, and his 44 was a very promising display. In O xford’s second innings Warner again failed, but Smith and Foster took the score to 60, when both were caught at mid-off. Mordaunt and Phillips who played out time did little on Saturday morning. Indeed, Raikes and Arkwright, who made 65 for the sixth wicket in 40 minutes, alone did anything of note, Leveson-Gower being absent, and Baiss and Bards­ well both injured, though both batted. Kent wanted 202 to tv in, and Alec Heame was out at 16. Then Easby joined Mason, and a fine display of batting followed, the ex-W intonian playing his largest and by far his best innings for Kent. He made a large pro­ portion of the runs, scoring 53 out of 77 in forty min­ utes before luncheon, 100 out 147 in ninety minutes, and finally 142 out of 205 in just under two hours. His hits were two 6’s (in one over, out of the ground), eighteen 4’s, five 3’s, and nine 2’s. He gave two very difficult chances at 76 and at 81, but these were but slight flaws in a very fine display of resource and con­ fidence. His batting was noteworthy for some remarkably fine cuts. Easby was not out, and was unlucky not to make his 50 in either innings though so nearly approaching it. He played very steadily, and will probably prove a useful addition to the Kent eleven. The best piece of bowling by Mason in Oxford’s second innings analyses thus: 9 overs, 4* maidens, 25 runs, 4 wickets, so that this player’s share in the success of his side was a very great one, and can hardly be too highly estimated.

The play in this match was much curtailed by thunderstorm. Rain fell so heavily that on Thurs­ day play was in progress only two-and-a-half hours, while on Saturday not a ball was bowled. The wicket at the start was in excellent condition, and the weather fine and hot. Yorkshire gained a great advantage in winning the toss, for before the storm came on they had scored 156 runs for the loss of three wickets. Brown and Tunnicliffe started in fine form, and without a mistake ran up 95 before the former played a ball on to his wicket. On being joined by Milligan, Tunoicliffe had a lift at mid-off and 35runs were made for the second partnership. Tunnicliffe did not long survive M illigan; his 68 was made in two hours and twenty minutes, and was an admirably played innings. Then rain stopped play fpr the day. Resuming on Friday the wicket was damaged by the weather, and the Yorkshire wickets fell rapidly, until nine were down for 232, when Denton was joined by Hunter. The Cambridge attack was weakened by an injury to Gray’s hand, but both men hit well and hard, and 102runs were added before Hunter, through an error of judgment by Denton, was run out. The latter’ s brilliant innings of 77 not out included 12 fours. He played in place of Lord Hawke, who was unable to assist the side, which was captained by F. W . Milligan. Cambridge did not begin very well, losing Mitchell and Wilson cheaply, but Hemingway and N. F. Druce played capital cricket. Druce was in eighty minutes for his admirable 60, in which were 7 fours and 5 threes. Hemingway’s was a quieter but steady and valuable score. W ith the score at 220 for eight wickets, and Gray unable to bat, the game was adjourned. Saturday morning was very stormy, and so much rain fell that play was ultimately aban­ doned at one o’clock.
