Cricket 1898

M at 12, 1898. CRICKET ; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 117 M.C.C. AND GROUND v. SUSSEX. (Continuedfrom page 103.) Played at Lord’s on May 4, 5, and 6. M.C.C. won by an innings and 58 runs. After doing fairly well in getting rid of the M.C.C. team on a moderately easy wicket for 218, Sussex began to bat without the slightest prospect of being able to make anything like a good score, for the wicket had become treacherous to the last degree. In the course of less than an hour and a-half’s batting Sussex were all out for 61, and had begun their second innings when rain prevented further play for the day. Hearne and Trott were irresistible with the ball; it must have been a relief to the former to once more find himself at work on a good, old-fashioned, English slow wicket. Mr. Brann was the only Sussex man who was able to make a stand against the two bowlers; he was in about an hour for 17. On Friday the bowlers again had matters nearly all their own way. Brann showed that he has lost none of the patience which made his name so famous last year, and although he could not make many runs, he managed to keep the bowlers at arm’s length for about eighty minutes. Bean and Bland tried the hitting game, and were both successful. M.C.C. Martin, c Vine, b W . G. Grace, b Parris 65 A. N.

At Oxford, as at Cambridge, only about a couple of hours’ play was possible on the first day. Handicapped by a wet ball, the bowlers could do nothing, and although before stumps were drawn two batsmen were out, they both lost their wickets by a mistake in running. W. H. Follett, an old Lancina: boy, showed good cricket in making 42. The cricket on Friday showed the batsmen in a very favour­ able light, but the bowling was remarkably weak. F. H. Mitchell, who is certain to get a good trial, played excellent cricket for 71, and Joyce and Roberts also greatly distin­ guished themselves. The only good analysis which could be shown by any bowler during the innings was the three wickets for 21 by F. H. E. Cunliffe—who is not a Freshman by any means. Against somewhat better bowling the captain’ s side did fairly well on Saturday, and succeeded in making a draw. Good cricket was shown by L. P. Collins—another man who will probably be well tried—F. H. Hollins and J. W. Crawfurd. M r . F. H. B. C hampain ’ s S ide . C. F. Ryder (Charter­ house), run out ... 9 S. V. Williams (Clif­ ton), run out ......... 8 W. H.

Played at Cambridge on May 5, 6 and 7. Drawn. It was unfortunate for the men who were trying for their “ blues ” that the weather in this match was so unlovely from the point of view of a cricketer, although it may have seemed everything that was perfect to amarket gardener. On the first day there was only a little more than two hours’ cricket, during which time 111 runs were made for the loss of five wickets. There was nothing remarkable about the batting or bowling, except an inn­ ings of 50 not out by C. R. Worthington. On Friday, Worthington increased his score by 17, his total of 67 being the result of nearly three hours’ batting of a strictly defensive variety. Of the bowlers Hawkins was the most successful, and it was by no means a bad performance of his to take six wickets for 74 with a ball which was generally greasy. At the end of the day two wickets of the opposing side were down for 47. On Saturday the batting was on the whole pretty good, with­ out being in any way remarkable. G. B. Norman, who had made 25 in the first innings, carried his bat for 43. Alexander bowled three, Cunliffe two, and More and Allen one no-ball each. M r . C unliffe ’ s S ide . O. M. R. W. O. M. R. W.
