Cricket 1898

Jdne 30, 1898. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 239 M.C.C. AND GROUND y. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Lord’s on June 23, 24 and 25. M.C.C. won by an innings and 13 runs. The in-and-out form shown by Cambridge this season reached its climax in their last match before they meet Oxford. It was not a particularly stroDg team which represented the M.C.C., but it was strong enough, as it happened, to make the University team look like second-class. Against the bowling of Roche the University could do nothing in their first innings, although they played easily enough the other two bowlers who went on. Mr. Jessop was the only man on the side who was seen in his true form. He made 47 in thirty-five minutes, and his hits were nearly all fours ; he quite brought down the house by one of his drives off Roche—the ball pitching on to the top seats of the pavilion. When the M C.C. went in, Mr. Mit­ chell and Mr. C. W . Wright took charge of the bowling from the first. Mr. Winter, who had been so successful against the strong batting team of Sussex, was harmless. The total was 208 when Mr. Wright was at last disposed of for a very finely played 77—the partnership lasted for only two hours and thirty-five minutes. Before stumps were drawn, Mr. Mitchell was out for 161, an innings which, last­ ing for three hours and a half, included a great number of excellent hits. Chatterton was also dis­ posed of, and three wickets were down for 268. On Friday there was no play. On Saturday, the M.C.C. soon declared, and although Cambridge did better than in their first innings, they found Attewell much too difficult for them. C am bridge . First innings. Second innings. C.

Played at Winchester on June 24 and 25. Drawn. Winchester had very much the worst of the wicket in this match, and did well to stave off defeat. Lord Francis Scott and Mr. H. K. Longman, both members of very well-known cricketing families, played excellent cricket for Eton on Friday, but the v\in- chester batsmen had no chance of distinguishing themselves. E ton .

SURREY v. MIDDLESEX. Played at the Oval on June 23, 24 and 25. Drawn. For some years past the matches between these counties have been regarded with peculiar interest, for, however strong Surrey might be, or however weak Middlesex, it was never safe to prophesy a victory for the former. This year neither county had greatly distinguished itself, and although Middlesex was the weaker team on paper, the inclusion of Trott among its members seemed likely to strengthen it very considerably. Under these circumstances, “ fair play and no favour” was hoped for by both sides. The weather, however, etejped in. On the Thursday, when the match began, Surrey had the good fortune to win the toss, and as Trott was by no means himself after his accident his bowlirg on the good wicket was quite harmless, so that Middlesex had to rely on Hearne, Rawlin and Webb. The good fortune which followed Hearne so assiduously when the wickets were in favour of the bowlers, seems to have deserted him as soon as the batsmen began to get a look in, and although at the Oval he bowled Vkith wonderful accuracy, he met with very little success; indeed, on the firbt day, he only took one wicket, but by getting rid of Richardson and Wood on Friday morning, after heavy rain during the night, he came out with a fairly good analysis. It is to be hoped, for the sake of his county, that his good luck will soon return. The first five Surrey batsmen were all in fine form. Abel and Brockwell put on 100 for the first wicket, sharing the runs almost equally between them; Holland and Brockwell added another 141 runs, of which the former claimed 67 by very sound cricket; Lockwood played a lively innings of 30. which included five fours ; and Hay­ ward also did well. But BrockweL’s 135 was decidedly the innings of the day; it was put together in three hours and a half, and included sixteen fours. Four wickets were down for 291, so that there was a promise of a very big score ; but, except for Baldwin, who played well, the rest of the men who batted on Thursday did not do themselves justice. Neverthe­ less, the total of 385 runs for eight wickets was good enough to secure Surrey from defeat, unless any­ thing quite out of the common turned up. Yeiy heavy rain fell on Thursday night, and only a little cricket was played on Friday, for it was impossible to play before about a quarter to four. In the course of the day Surrey added 83 to their total, and Middlesex lost three good wickets for 73. As things turned out, the only question now was whether Middlesex could keep in all day Saturday ; it would have been by no means surprising if they had failed to do so, for more rain fell. Fortunately for them, the rain helped them rather than otherwise, and the wicket never became absolutely difficult. As was only to be expected, the cricket was not lively on the whole, for runs were a matter of no moment to Middlesex as long as they could keep up their wickets; but some very pretty hitting was seen when Trott was batting. The partnership between Mr. Ford and Mr. Stoddart practically left no doubt that the match must end in a draw. Mr. Stoddart was in for two hours and a quarter for 46, and the most enthusias'ic admirer of his more vigorous style would have forgiven him for returning, on this occasion, to his steady and delibe­ rate game. In the second innings, Mr. Warner and Mr. Jdayman so nearly played out time, that when at last the former was out for a pretty innings of 48. the stumps were pulled up. The wicktt-keeping of Mr. MacGregor was the subject of unstinted praise. Durirg the long innings of Surrey, which produced nearly 500 runs, he did not allow a single bye; he was also responsible for the dismissal of three men at the wicket. S u rrey .
