Cricket 1897

25 0 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 1, 1897. SURREY v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on June 24, 25, and 26. Surrey won by an innings and 194 runs. Whatever may be said of Surrey when they have to piny an uphill game this year, there can be no ques­ tion of their vast strength in batting when they are opposed on a good wicket to a team weak in bowling, or o f their bowling when they are assisted by a some­ what difficult wicket. In the Warwickshire match they were favoured by fortune in both innings, with the result that Warwickshire men will remember the m itch for some time to come. Warwickshire could hardly have hoped to make a really good tight under the most favourable circumstances ; but if they had w >n the toss they would possibly have h id a chance of repaying some of the tremendous beatings which they have received at the hands of Surrey. A wonderful start was made by the first two Surrey men — Abel and Brockwell—who, by splendid cricket, put up 204 before they were parted. By this time the Warwickshire bowling, weak from the commence­ ment of the innings, had become almost common­ place, and it was pretty certain that the field would have a lively time. But the home team did as well as could be expected until Mr. Key and Mr. Chinnury g «t together towards the clo;e of the day. After settling down the two amateurs collared the bowling, or what was left of it to be c >llared, and despite various changes, they were still together when stumps were drawn, with the total at 445 for five wickets. R*in in the night prevented Surrey from making about a thousand runs, but on the other hand it pre­ vented Warwickshire from making a draw. Mr. Key and Mr. Chinnery increased their scores to 79 and 149, and Lees helped to swell the total, which, after all, did not beat the Surrey record. As was only to be expected, Warwickshire failed in the first innings, although very tine batting by Lilley (79, not out) prevented the total from being ignominious. A go xl beginning was made in the follow on, 88 being put up for the loss of two wickets, neither of which need have fallen if care had been exercised in ruuniag. Oa Saturday the total was raised to 211. Mr. Byrne, W . G. Quaife, Diver, and W . Quaife deserved well of their side. Richardson bowled exceedingly well in both innings. S urrey .

THE OXFORD PAST AND PRESENT MATCH. (Sixth of the tour.) Played at the Oval on June 24, 25 and 26. Oxford won by 7 wickets. The Philadelphians have fallen on hard tim?s. It was not enough that the team which was opposed to them fell far short of the-strength which had r-een hoped for, and thus detracted from the interest in the game, but after the Oxford team had been disposed of on a p rfect wicket for a moderate score, the terrific storm on Thursday night made batting ex­ ceedingly difficult on Friday, and the visitors had no cha.ice of distinguishing them-selves. Under the circums‘ances it is only necessary to say that Mr. Coat s played a really brilliaut innings, which greatly pleased critics of the game, and that Mr. Stocks, a dangerous bowler on his wicket, had a fine analysis.

Played at Brighton on June 24, 25 and 26. Sussex won by 9 wickets. For the second time this season the Sussex team has administered a severe beating to Cambridge, and if it can only do as well in the county matches there will be much cause for satisfaction. On a perfect wicket the Sussex batsmen, with the exception of Mr. Mur­ doch and K. S. Ranjitsinhji, were seen at their best. Mr. Newham, whose return to form is very pleasing indeed, made his first hundred of the year, and Mr. Braun made 87 by very steady cricket. Rain and good bowling were too much for the Cambridge men in the first innings, but Mr. Druce and Mr. Stogdon played very fine cricket. In the follow on Mr. Burnup and Mr. Mitchell were seen to very great advantage, while Mr. Jessop delighted everybody by playing one of his most vig irous innings, his score of 72 being put together in 55 minutes out of a total of 79.
