Cricket 1897

222 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 17, 1897. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. PH ILA­ DELPHIANS. Played at Cambridge on June 14 arid 15. Cambridge won by an innings and 163 runs. It was unfortunate for the Philadelphians that they found two of the Cambridge men, Mr. Druce and Mr. Jessop. in such brilliant lorm. for they are both such punishing batsmen that if they happened at any time to get well set in partnership they would completely demoralize the bowling, however good it might be. Both innings were perfect each in its own way. The Cambridge captain, whose style isalways “ correct,” mademost brilliant strokes all round the wicket, while Mr. Jessop’s runs were scored by determined and accurate not to say aggressive play. Mr. Druce’s109was made in an hour and forty-five minutes ; Mr. Jes?op’s 140in an hour and thirty-five minutes. By comparison with thesetwo batsmen the other Cambridge men seemed but moderate players, although under ordinary circumstances the 30of Mr. Burnup, the 47 of Mr. Mitchell and the 3*2 of Mr. Bray would have seemedwell worthy of notice. It was not a surprising thing that Cambridge on a good wicket shouldmake 412; theymay do the same thing against anybowling ; but it wassomewhatsurprising that the Philadelphiansdid sopoorlyinbatting. The Cambridge bowling iswithout doubt pretty good, but it is nothing very much out of the common, and it was hoped that the Philadelphians would give a good display against it. Mr. A. N. Woodwas conspicuous for a veryfineinnings of73amid thegeneral failures, and on the whole the batting was most discouraging to the team, and disappointing to English cricketers. But it by no means follows that the strength of our visitors can be guaged from what happened in this match ; theie is still plenty of time for them to astonish a good many teims, and it is by no means certain that they will not do so.

SOMERSET. Played at the Oval on June 14, 15, and 16. Somerset won by 225 runs. After their plucky effort to pull the match against Sussex out of the fire, the Somersetshiremen entered upon a task which must have seemed to them infi­ nitely more difficult. But fortune favoured them to the extent that they won the toss, and found the wicket at the Oval in perfect order for run-getting. They were batting for almost the whole of Monday, lunnirg up the excellent score of 349, the highest total made so far against Surrey bowling this year. The crcdit of the perfoimance belongs to the whole team, for withhardly an exception every man added considerably to the score, while most of the team played remarkably good cricket. The highest score was only 58, made by Mr. R. C. N. Palairet, but Nicholls made 51, L. C. H. Palairet and G. Fowler, 42, and everybody else scored double figures except Captain Hedley, who only wanted one run to make the scores look quite symmetrical. Hayward had a good analysis, if the length of the innings is con­ sidered. In the dreaded few minutes of play before stumps were drawn, Brockwell was dismissed, and Surrey entered upon the second days cricket with 32 for one wicket. After this they went ahead, and the two not outs, Baldwin and Hayes, delighted Surrey men by their excellentcricket. Hayes, who had been sent in to play out time on Monday, surprised every­ body by making 50 in first class style. Baldwin’s score was 81, a very goodbut lucky innings. Such a start as this was eminently encouraging, for all the good bats of the team (except Brookwell) were in reserve. But Abel and Hayward only made asmall score for such famous batsmen— 29each— whileMr. Chinnery, W. W., and Mr. Key, from some of whom reasonably large scores might have been looked for, did almost nothing, and the tail was not in form, sothat it was asmuch as Surrey could doto save the follow or. When Richardson came in 4runs were still wanted, and there were many Surrey men who would have been glad if he had beenbowled for a duck, for with the Somersetshire bowlers tired, Surrey would then have had a rare chance of piling up a lot of runs. As it was, Somerset did well in the secondinnings, leaving off on Tuesday evening with a lead of 294, still having three wickets in hand. Among the several good innings that of Mr. Woods, who was not out, 61, was by far the best. On Wed- ne>day morning some rain fell, and this led to the undoing of Surrey, who after allowing Tyler andMr. Woods to make a lot of runs for the ninth wicket, fell to piecesin their secondinnings.
