Cricket 1896

124 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 7 , 1896. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY SENIORS’ MATCH. Played at Fenner’s on May 4, 5 and 6. It does not matter that cricket grounds in other parts of the country are as yet in favour of the bowler; at Fenner’s, a bowler needs the steadiness of an Attewell or an Alfred Shaw, to make any impression on the batsmen. There are several men among the Seniors’ with fair reputations as hats, and E. B. Shine has more than once shown himself acapablebowler, though he has too many “ off ” days. With only one place to he filled up in the eleven, unless any of last year’ s team are out of form, the Seniors’ had need to distinguish themselves greatly if any of them were to get much chance of a good trial this year. The sides in the Seniors’ match were captained by C. J. Bumup, the football International, who only just missed his “ blue” last year, and E. H. Bray, the ’Varsity “ socker ” captain, who stands a fair chance of getting into the eleven as a wicket keeper in place of W. G. Druce. Mr. Bray’s side went in first and nearly every man made runs, though F. J. S. Moore, 74, and E. B. Shine (the last man) 46, werethe onlyoneswho showed up prominently. The innings came to 249, not a large total for Fenner’ s against moderate howling. When Mr. Bumup’s side went in, the captain proved to be in brilliant form, and at the close of the day he was not out 93, with the total at 170. On the following morning he was bowled by Shine when within two of his hundred, a fine innings which included 14 fours. Nobody else did much and the total was only 196, although it seemed likely to be much greater. Shine had a good analysis. In their second innings Mr. Bray’s side all made double figures with the exception of A. W . Watson; Moore, Richardson, Famfield, and Cobbold were especially prominent. The total was 405. This left Mr. Bumup’s side with 460 to win, a total which seemed to be beyond their power even if there had been sufficient time to accomplish it. Nevertheless they made a splendid effort to win, and got within 99 of the number required. Simpson played a beautiful innings, scoring the only hundred in the match. Nearly everyone else on the side made between twenty and thirty. Altogether the performance of the side was worthy of the highest admiration, despite the easiness of the wicket and the bowling. M r .

Played at the Oval on May 4, 5 and 6. Surrey won by an innings and 26 runs. The Surrey eleven, without G. Lohmann, not yet returned from South Africa, Brock­ well suffering from a sprained ankle, and Maurice Read, who has retired from first class cricket, won their opening match of the season yesterday, defeating Warwickshire at the Oval by an innings and 26 runs. Though the wicket was in excellent condition, it was a little too fast for the early batsmen of Warwickshire, who won the toss. The first ball of the match clean bowledWalter Quaife, and seven of the best men were out for 87, of which 31 had come from Lilley’s bat. Then Pallett joined Law, during whose part­ nership some really good cricket was seen. The scoring had been very slow before luncheon, and the play increased in interest in proportion as the pace of the run-getting improved. Pallett, who was seen to more advantage than he has been for a long time, saw Law out, but not until 122 runs had been added. Law had played with great confidence and judgment, and hii? 73 was the result of extremely good cricket. Whitehead and Ward gave no trouble, and Pallett carried out his bat for 55, a most useful and deserving display of watchful batting. Going in with an hour left to play on Monday night, Surrey lost Street, caught from Pallett’s first ball with the score at 2. Hayward, who followed, and Abel, got runs fast, and when play ceased on Monday, the total was 74, the outcome of an hour's cricket. On Tuesday morning, though Abel con­ tinued to bat in his best form, he got little help, and with half the side out for 136, it did not look as if Warwickshire would be much behind at the end of an innings. The end, as events proved, was still far off. Mr. W . W . Read was not well, and indeed he was doubtful whether to go in to bat. It was fortunate for Surrey that he did, for he soon settled down; his strokes all round were very hard, and he was quickly catching Abel when the latter was bowled. In proof of the lively character of the batting during the partnership, it may be stated that in an hour and thirty-five minutes the two batsmen had added 142 runs. The value of Abel’s innings cannot be overrated. For three hours and forty minutes he played all the Warwickshire bowling with equal confidence, and only two possible chances, the first at 77, could possibly be urged against him. Mr. Key batted freely while he was in, and after his departure the innings soon came to an end. Mr. Read was ninth out at 348. He was only in two hours and twenty minutes for his 112, a splendid display of all round batting, quite up to his very best form. Ward, the new left-hand slow bowler of Warwickshire, did a very creditable performance, taking five wickets for 76 runs. Going in a second time, 147 to the bad, Warwickshire were under the disadvantage of batting in a rather bad light. A 8 it grew worse the umpire stopped play at ten minutes past six o’clock, by which time five wickets had fallen for 88 runs. Yester­ day morning 59 were still wanted to save the innings, and with Law, who again played good cricket, out without another run, Warwickshire’s chances were considerably reduced. As it was, Hill saw the five out­ standing wickets all fall, carrring his bat out for 15. W arwickshire . First Innings. Mr.J. E. Hill, b Richardson 18 Quaife (W .), b Richardson 0 Quaife (W .
