Cricket 1896

27 4 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u ly 9, 1896 fourteen to win, and after being missed at lon g on when he had got six, was bowled b y Peate(thefirstballafterhis resumption) with the game a tie. Yesterday, the O xford wicket keeper, E. P. Lewis, came in with the score a tie, and made the single which gave the Gentlemen the victory with a wicket to spare. Tw o of the Oxford eleven, and two who played very important parts in the victory at Lord’s at the end of last week, are pretty sure to find their way into the Surrey team before the end of the month. Thecaptain, H. D. G. Leveson-Gower, and G. O. Smith are both of them Surrey men, and it is more than probable that both will be seen in the county eleven against Middlesex at Lord’s on the 20th o f this month. Previous engagements preventedeitherbeing available until after this week, and Surrey do not play again before they figure at L ord’s. T h o u g h it must be understood that I have no official information to guide me, it hardly seems likely that the eleven to represent England against Australia at Manchester this day week, w ill differ materially from that which did duly for the Old Country at L ord’s. It may be that A. C. Maclaren will be able to get relief from his duties at Harrow. In that case, presumably, he will be free to face the Australians if required. It will be interesting, too, to see if Iianjitsinhji, whom the selection committee refrained from inviting for the first match, will be asked for the second. T h e b e were several interesting points in the University match. Warner was run out in each innings; W . G. Grace made a pair of spectacles. The ninth man, in the three innings which were completed, made a stand which com ­ pletely altered the aspect of the game. W ith the exception of Grace and Waddy (who was not out once) every man who went in twice made double figures in one innings or the other. The great in­ dividual score in the second innings of each University was made by the fourth man on the list. Grace was not put on to bow l, and Burnup bowled tw o overs only for three runs. O p the twenty-two men who took part in the ’Varsity match, several were play­ in g in first-class cricket at the beginning of this week. For Gentlemen v. Players H. K . Foster made 72 and 4, and E. P. Lewis 0 and 1*; for Leicestershire v. Derbyshire, H . H . Marriott, 14 and 0 ; for Kent v. Sussex, C. J. Burnup 13, G. J. Mordaunt 19, E. B. Shine 2 4 ; and for Sussex v. Kent, J. C. Hartley, 30 and 0. This is a poor record compared with that of some previous years. S e v e n of the eight Cambridge Blues who were not seen in first-class cricket played for the Quidnuncs against Aider- shot Division, and Cobbold and Jessop distinguished themselves in bow ling. In batting Mitchell made 55, Jessop 40 and 39 not out, and Hemingway 40. G. O. Smith, the Oxford Blue, scored 98 on Tuesday for Oxford University Authen­ tics against Eton Bamblers. P e r h a p s the best innings of the past week was the 68 made b y Captain Wynyard in sixty-five minutes in the second innings of Hampshire against the Australians. For almost the first time during the tour the Australian bowling was knocked about as though it were not difficult. The 68 included thirteen 4’s and a 6. THE SCHOOLS. S h erborne . — During the past week the School has played and won two matches. Emmanuel College, Cambridge, brought down a weak team, and suffered defeat by 119 runs. The School ran up 287 for six wickets, when the innings was declared closed. Whinney played a faultless innings of 71, and Prichard (46 not out) and Temperley (36) were the other chief contributors. The visitors made 168, only Holberton (27) and Tudor (37) being able to with­ stand the bowling of Martin, who took five wickets for 53. The other match was versus South Wilts, and resulted in a creditable victory for the School by three wickets and 15 runs. Rev. T. H. Audley made 77 out of the South W ilts’ total of 139, but his display was by no means chanceless. Prichard took six wickets for 70, and de Rougemont two for 9. The School lost two wickets for 1 run, but Stanger Leathes and Whinney put on 109, making 52 and 64 respectively. Two more wickets quickly fell, but Temperley made the winning hit, and the score at the end was 154 for seven wickets. M a lvern .— Last Monday and Tuesday week we played a very representative team of Old Malvernians. W e went in first. Day and Foster were seen to advan­ tage in the first innings, playing finecricket for 81 and 74. White made 34. The Old Malvernians’ first wicket did not fall till the score had reached 111, when E. H. Simpson was caught and bowled. E. H. Simpson completed his century shortly afterwards. Porch, Lowe and Heath all did well, making their total 293. In our second innings, Short (41), Day (74), Gibbons (32 not out) were the chief scorers. Total 233, leaving Old Malvernians 172 to win, two of their wickets went down for 50. Last Tuesday we played the Gentlemen of Warwickshire, and beat them by 7 wickets and several runs. Short made a century, Foster 72, not out, and Day 49. On Thursday and Friday we played our school match against Repton, they won the toss and went in. Nine of their wickets were down for 88, however, the last wicket put on 79, making their total 167. Barber played well for 52, Blackburn made 27, not out. Our first wicket fell for 27. On Day joining Short the score was carried to 102r Short making 58. Foster and Day got together and pla yed fine cricket. Rain stopped play an hour and a half before time, the score then stood at 177 ; next morning Day and Foster continued. After putting on about 20,Foster was caughtin the long field for a fine 71. Day went on till he completed his century, being caught in the deep field at 1C6. White was not out 26. W e then declared our innings closed at 273; leaving Repton 206 to save an innings defeat. Seewright scored 48 in a lucky way, the others added a few and brought the score up to 134, leaving us 29 to win, which we did without the loss of a wicket. C h arterh ou se .— On Saturday, 27th, we played “ Butterflies.” W inning the toss, Wreford Brown and Barrington compiled 183 for the first wicket, when the former was bowled for an excellent 88. Barrington was next out at 213, for a splendid innings of 103. A t 233 the innings was declared closed for the loss of four wickets. Our opponents just managed to stave off defeat, making 171 for the loss of eight wickets. Col. Dorking hit hard for 75, while both Dyne (23) and Talbot (20 notout) ren­ dered useful assistance. Wreford Brown was the most successful of our bowlers, taking four wickets for 31. On July 1st we were opposed by rather a strong team of Oxford U. Authentics. Obtaining first innings, our score reached 182, W reford Brown playing m ell for 23, and Barrington for a patient 34. Of the rest, Halton’s 29 was a good display, and Renshaw ob­ tained a somewhat lucky 32. C. B. Fry took seven wickets for 62. The Authentics tried hard to knock off the runs, C. B. Fry hitting hard for 83, when he was well caught in the country by Barrington. W reford Brow'n again met with most success in the bowling line, obtaining three wickets at a cost of 15 runs. The final score of the Authentics was 150 for six wickets, the match ending in a draw. The second round of the house matches is almost finished, Gown Boys beating Weekites by over 200 runs, W reford Brown for the former in the second innings amassing 157 in 80 minutes. Pageites beat Daviesites by ten wickets. Hodgsonites succumbed to Girdle- stoneites, while Lockites 399 and Veeites 78 for a single innings apiece, is not yet finished.
