Cricket 1901

150 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 23, 1901. OXFORD UNIVERSITY v. MR. A. J. WEBBE’S TEAM. Played at Oxford on May 16, 17 and 18. Mr. Webbe’s team won by 168 runs The chief features of this match was the brilliant batting of Mr. Bayman, who in the second innings of Mr. Webbe’s team scored 165 in two hours and three quarters. Be hit very hard allround the wicket, and after he had reached tbe hundred his play was astonishingly bold and effective. Even Mr. Bosan­ quet,whoscored42inthree quartersof an hour,seemed a careful and painstaking batsman beside him. Mr. Webbe had no professionals in his team, but his bowlers were good for all that. On the Oxford side, Mr. Ernsthausen did well enough with the ball to justify hopes for his future. M r . W ebbr ’ s XI. First innings. C. J. Burnup, b More... H. B. Bayman, b Knox 26 G. W.

SUSSEX. Flayed at Leyton on May 16, 17 and 18. Essex won by 171 runs. Still without Mr. Fry and K. S. Ealjitsinhji, Sussex made such a promising beginning of their county season ibat their frierdsmust have been more than satisfieo. Perhaps the most interesting point in tbe match v as the retnrn to form of Mr. Newham, who plajed as gcod cricket as one could wish to see in \he tin-t innings. There were some curious phases in the game. When Essex won the toss they began bo badly on a ticket which had not quite recovered from the rains that five wickets were down for 90. The chief cause for this was the bowling of Tate, who, going on with the score at 51, disposed of four fine batsmen for 9 runs—Mr. Perrin, Mr. Turner, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Kortright. But Mr. McGahey still survived, and receiving useful assistance from Russell and Reeves he made the Essex total into a fairlygood one. Sussex also began badly, losing half their wickets for 64. Mr. Newham and Vine then quite altered the appearance of the game, and as they were both not out when stumps were drawn with the score at 151, Sussex had decidedly the best of the game. Mr. Newham had made 54 and Vine 39H By the end of the following day fortune had completely veered round in favour of Essex, who left off with a lead of 583 with half their wickets in hand. Their success did not come at once for it was not until the Sussex total had been raised to 205 that the partnership between Mr. Newham and Vine was broken ; it had produced 141 runs m;two hours and ten minutes. Newham was the first to go. Be had shown much of his old skill, and all his old self-possession at a critical moment. Although Vine continued to play excellent cricket, he could get no one to stay with him, and the innings was brought to an abrupt con­ clusion. In the Essex second innings there was a succession of long partnerships. Mr. Owenwas in fine form; Carpenter and Mr. Perrin did well. Mr. McGahey again showed remarkablygood cricket, and Mr. A. P. Lucas played a perfect innings. Be was bowled just before stumps were drawn for 83, an innings which had lasted for two hours during which 163 runs were produced; his batting was wholly delightful to watth. Short of a complete breakdown by the remaining five Essex wickets on Saturday it was pretty evident that Essex must win or that Sussex must play a splendid game in order to be able to make a draw. Mr. McGahey rapidly increased his score, hitting very hard and low, and was out last when the overnight score of 316 had been increased by 98in a little over an hour: he had batted for three hours and a half, and had played a brilliant game. Sussex had to make 382, and as there was no possi­ bility that with theweak battingattheir disposal they could do this, they set to work to try for a draw. In this they were not successful, but as they managed to prolong the game until half-past five they were not so far from accomplishing their object. E sse x . Fir.-t innings.

Although Surrey gained the easiest of victories in thismatch, it cannot be said that the batting of the team was such as to cause unlimited satisfaction to the friends of the County, for nearly all the runs in a big innings were made by three men, the rest doing very little indeed. Not that it mattered in the least as things turned out, for when stumps were drawn on Thursday night the total was 383 for 8 wickets, so that there was very little chance indeed of a defeat. Abel seemed set for one of his long partnerships with Bayward, and after three wickets had fallen for 30, he and Bayward kept together until luncheon, when the score was 99. But very soon after play was resumed he was caught at point. Then followed a very long stand by Mr. Jephson and Bayward, during which the Derbyshire bowling was absolutely mas­ tered. From 111 the total was raised to 361 in two hours and twenty minutes—that is to say it lasted for a few minutes after lunch until past six o’clock. Never did the bat show a more complete mastery over the ball than during this partnership, and hardly ever has better cricket been shown. It has very often teen Mr. Crawford’s lot to wait about for hours before going in, and then, as generally happens in such cases, to be out for a small total, and in this match he failed to get going. After tbe heavy scoring of the three Surrey men it came as somewhat of a.surpriee when Derbyshire collapsed badly, Mr. Lawton being the only man on the side who could make anything of Lockwood and Lees. In thefollow on Bagshaw and Mr. Wright were together for an hour and twenty minutes for the first wicket, during which time they put on 101 runs by first-clats cricket. Bichardson then began to bowl in remarkable form, and when stumps were drawn the look-out for Derby­ shire was hopeless, for with only five wickets in hand theystill required 152 runs to save the innings defeat. On Saturday Mr. Jephson and Kichardson soon finished off the innings. S u r r e y .
