Cricket 1897

M a y 27, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 173 SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Cambridge, May 24, 25 and 26. Sussex won by an innings and 264 runs. It may generallybe taken for granted that when they are notengaged in amatch against some other caunty the Sussex men will be seen to more or less advantage, andthey did not belie their reputation at Cambridge, despite the fact that Ranjitsinhji did very little. For once the Sussex bowling was remarkably good, and the strong batting teamof the University curled up in a surprising way beforeit. For this result the credit belongs to the new Sussex fast bowler, Bland, who took 7 wickets for 40 runs. Except that Burnup and Bray each scored 23, and Moonmade double figures, the Cambridge men were decidedly not seen to advantage. N. F. Druce was not playing. Sussexlost a wicket at once, but after­ wards therewas a series of good innings. Marlow was in great form, and made 60, Ranjitsinhji 26, and Bean, who had been off colour this season, 77. But theseinnings, good as they were, could not be com­ pared with those of Murdoch and Brann, who each, by the best ofcricket,scoredahundred. It ispleasant to find the Sussex captain maintaining the splendid form which he has shown all the season, and as pleasant to find that Brann has quite recovered his form. Newham’sturn to greatly distinguish himself hasnot yet come this year, but he may be trusted to come to thefront beforelong. C a m brid g e U n iv e r s it y . First innings. Second innings. C. J.

In their first trial match the Oxford eleven acquitted itself nobly. The bowling against the University was somewhat stronger than that which represented Mr. Webbe’s team against Cambridge; but at the same time itwasnotof verygreatstrength. S. M. J. Woods took most of the wickets, and O’Halloran did fairly well; but it was not Rawlin’s day. The batting of the University was pretty good all through the team; two men, Bromley-Martin and Foster, both Worcestershire cricketers, made over 50, while Eccles scored 102. All thesescores were made by really good cricket. Strong as was Mr. Webbe’s team in batting, it did not do very great things when its turn came to go in. A great standwasmade by J. R. Mason and H. B. Bay.nan for the second wicket, and O’Halloran showed that he canmake runs in England as well as Australia. At the end of the innings Mr. Vernon and Mr. Philipson added considerably to the total. In the follow on Mason again did well, and Rawlin played steadily for 48, while the tail distinguished itself so much that the total, which did not look like being formidable, cameto 297. Bromley-Davenport played splendid cricket for 87, and Philipson carried his bat for 25, thusmaking a very useful scorefor the second time in thematch. Oxford had not a very difficult task when they went in again, Eccles again played well, and Champain was in great form. O xfo rd U n iv e r s it y . First innings. Second innings. G. R.

There is no accounting for the great superiority which theM.C.C. team, weak as it seemed to be— it may almost besaidridiculously weak— over the team which defeated Yorkshire last week. It it true that Mr. Bull was not playing for Essex, and that his absence makes a very great difference to his team, andit isalso true that the wicket, which did not wear well, was worsewhen Essex batted than it was when the M.C.C. werein. But theEssex men did not seem to put any life intothegame. Perhaps if Hearne had not beenplaying thingswould havebeendifferent, for on the Lord’swicketwhen it is not quite perfect,heis a terrible person to meet. Besides Hearne, Trott bowled finelyfor M.C.C. and Pickett for Essex. In their secondinnings, Essex at onetime had lost four wickets for five runs, but Mr. Owen at this critical time played afinegame and saved his side from a collapse. Mr. R. W. Nicholls,andMr. Giffordshowed excellent formfor the M.C.C. in thefirst innings and Mr. Harrison and Board inthe second. Martin, who must now be getting quite used to going in fairly early, scored36in the second innings. Stumps were drawn on Tuesday when Essex had only three more wickets to fall, but, thanksto continued good cricket by the captain, who is seen at his best in an emer­ gency, and ahard-hit 66, not out, by Mr. Kortright, the defeatwas not as severe asit appearedlikelytobe.
