Cricket 1897

M a y 13, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 141 OXFORD UNIVERSITY SENIORS’ MATCH. Played at Oxford on May 10, 11 and 12. The innings of Mr. Quinton’s side was remarkable for the batting of A. Eccles, A. Crawley and R. de Montmorency who all made about a hundred; it was also remarkable for the way in which the rest of the team collapsed. Mr. Bromley Martin’s side did not begin very well, but Morres and the captain both played fine innings. In spite of all they could do, however, the wickets fell rapidly until nine men were out for 180, and the whole side were disposed of for 231. There was very little interesting cricket on the final day of the match. M r . J. M. Q u in to n ’s S id e . b B. D. Bannon, Probyn ............... 6 A.

SUSSEX v. NOTTS. Played at Trent Bridge on May 10, 11, and 12. Notts won hy an innings and 74 runs. With their strongest team available, Sussex began the season— at least, as far as the first day was concerned— with con- iderable credit to themselves. If they had only possessed a tail like that of Yorkshire they might have made a very big score. As it was, after the first six men had all distinguished themselves, there was not much more done in the way of batting. The feature of the innings was the batting— not of K . S. Ranjit- sinhji— but of Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Brann. The famous old Australian still plays a game which is altogether admir­ able. Mr. Brann, who seemed to have retired from county cricket, gave an ex­ hibition of batting which was worthy of his best days, although his hits were not quite as hard as they have sometimes been. It was a great performance to score 66 after so long an absence from first-class cricket. Dench bowled well, although he only took one wicket; he was not kept on very long. Notts man­ aged to play through the mauvais quart d'heure before stumps were drawn with­ out losing a wicket, and on the following day they made an example of the Sussex bowling. Daft did not give much trou­ ble, but when Shrewsbury joined Mr. Dixon, the Sussex captain had an excel­ lent opportunity of finding out the defects of hisbowlers— ifanydefectsstillremained for him to discover. The scoring was rapid— for Notts it was remarkable— and in an hour and three-quarters amatter of 158 runs ha 1been put on. Then, at last, Shrewsbury was caught at the wicket, and, for a time, the star of Sus>.ex was in the ascendant. Gunn went for 1, while Jones and Attewell mide 9 each. But still some time had been taken up in dis­ posing of these three men, and mean­ while Mr. Dixon continued to score very quickly. Dench made a long stand with him, and when play was stopped for the day, owing to rain, the total was no less than 343 for 5 wickets. Mr. Dixon, not out, 198, Dench, not out, 42. When Mr. Dixon had beaten the highest score made at Trent Bridge— 267 by Shrewsbury— :>y one run, he declared the innings. His total of 268 is nearly double that of his previous highest total. His innings was altogether remarkable, the more so, because there were no other very long scores ma le by the Not s men. The bowlers are to be pitied, but not blamed, for the cold was sometimes so intense that they can have hardly felt the bail. When Sussex went in again it was necessary for them to make 198 to save the innings defeat, but their previous exertions i:i the cold told too heavily upon them, and they could only make a moderate score.
