Cricket 1898

M a y 12, 1898. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 123 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. M r . C. I. THORNTON’S XI. Played at Cambridge on May 9,10, and 11. Mr. Thornton’s X I. won by seven wickets. As usual, Mr. Thornton succeeded in getting together a team which was well calculated to try the University severely, but, unfortu­ nately, he was not as usual able to play himself. Cambridge had to do without the services of Jessop, who is ill, and only four Blues were in the team, the other places being filled up by two Freshmen and five Seniors. The wicket was slow, which was not a very lively look-out for Cambridge, seeing that the bowlers who could be used against them were headed by Richardson and Trott. The former, like J. T. Heame, at once shewed with the utmost plainness that batsmen who had been hugging to themselves the thought that he was played out will find themselves nrstaken ; he took six wickets for 32 runs in 25 overs. On the other hand, Trott by no means came up to the great reputation which he has made for himself. Three Cambridge batsmen distinguished themselves—two Blues, Burnup and Stogdon, and a Senior, Worthing­ ton—and the total was distinctly good under the circumstances. At the close of the first day’s play neither side could be considered to have the best of the game, for half the visitors’ wickets were down for less than a hundred ; the only man who had been at home was Hayward (33). On Tuesday morning a good deal of rain fell, and for a time batsmen had a little better chance than the previous day. Lord Hawke and Town­ send availed themselves of their opportunities, and thanks to their good cricket the Cam­ bridge total was exceeded by 48. The home team put on 58 for two wickets by some care­ ful batting by Burnup and Worthington, but Mr. Jackson’s fine bowling was alto­ gether too good for the rest of the team. Mr. Burnup was at the wicket for two hours and a quarter, and his 59 was quite the innings of the match. Hind made a most successful debut with the ball. C ambridge U niversity .

In the present unsettled state of the weather there can be nothing surprising in the col­ lapse of any team, no matter how strong it may be, or how weak its opponents. On Monday, at Lord’s, the M.C.C. batsmen had a chance of distinguishing themselves, although if the bowling had been really first- class, the chance would have been somewhat small. On Monday evening and Tuesday morning the turn of the bowlers came, and Lancashire batsmen were quite out of the running. On paper the strength of the M.C.C. team was not very great, and with anything like equal fortune Lancashire would be at least equal to holding their own against it. But M.C.C. teams have a way of rising to the occasion which can only be described as remarkable. It had been hoped that Dr. Grace would be able to play ; in his absence Chatterton was included in the M.C.C. team. Winning the toss the INI.C.C. began well with Mr. Brann and Captain Poore. To the surprise ©f everybody the former scored more quickly than his partner, who adopted a defensive game of the most stubborn kind, which proved to be most effective. It was perhaps fortunate for the bowlers that the two batsmen did not both get thoroughly going while together. As it was the first wicket fell for 41, of which more than half belonged to Mr. Brann. Chatterton played good cricket, and then Mr. Sewell began one of the finest innings he has ever played. He was at the wickets for two hours and forty minutes, during which ho put on 111. In the afternoon the bowlers gradually began to gain the upper hand, and when the M.C.C. innings closed for 262, it was felt that Lanca­ shire would have very great difficulty in making runs. It was not a good beginning when Mr. Hornby was out in attempting a short run before he had scored, and the play which followed was eminently unsatisfactory for the visitors. When stumps were drawn no le38 than seven wickets had fallen for 53, of which 21 belonged to Mr. Tindall. Ward, who went in first as usual, was not out with a score of 11 made in an hour and a quarter ; he was at the wickets for fifty minutes before he scored. On Tuesday morning he increas: d his total by 2 runs in the course of twenty minutes, and was last out. His style of play was not enlivening, but under the circum­ stances, it was judicious. With a balance of 201 against them, Lancashire had an almost certain defeat before them. Mr. Hornby was as nearly as possible run out a second time before he had scored, but after his escape he played an attractive innings of 21. As was to be expected, most of tho batsmen failed, but Tyldesley played a brilliant innings for 63, and Cuttell did nobly for the honour of the tail. But the result was a foregone conclusion. In both innings Heame and Mead bowled exceedingly well. M.C.C. Capt. R. M. Poore, c Hornby, b Cuttell... 51 G. Brann, b Mold ... 24 Chatterton, c Sugg, b 27 Briggs C. O. H.
