Cricket 1901

J o ly 4, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 day Mr. Robertson and Mr. Dowson played such fine cricket that at lunch time the score was 323 for seven wickets, Mr. Dowson having made 106. Later, Mr. Hind made runs, and the M.C.C. were left to get 221 in two hours and a half. Against a strong bowling team this would have been almost impossible, but the object was accomplished with three minutes to spare. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings. Second innings E. R.

S U S S E X v . O X F O R D U N I V E R S I T Y . P la y e d at Eastbourne on June 27, 28 and 29. D raw n . In this match the University team were for once seen to great advantage. Ih ey did not make a very promising start, and at lunch-time four wickets were down for 109, Mr. Knox then being not out 38, which had taken him a long time to put together. But after lunch the batsmen got the beat of the aituation, and it was not until the score had been increased by 168 that the next wicket fell, Mr. Hollins and Mr. Knox making these runs in an hour and fifty minutes by excellent cricket. When he had once thoroughly played himself in the Oxford captain played most attractive cricket, while Mr. Hollins showed a com­ plete mastery over the bowling. Another lotg partnership followed, Knox and Mr. Williams putting on 113 in an hour, the litter teing at the tickets twenty minutes without scoring, after which he played a fine game. Eventually after getting within 2 runs of his second hundred, Knox was out 1b w to Ranjit­ sinbji ; he had been at the wickets for four hours and a quarter and played the highest and best innings of his career. When stumps were drawn the total was 451 for eight wickets. It may be stated that Tate was only put on for a few overs, doubtless with the object of resting him before the important matches in the near future. On Friday the innings was soon closed. Mr. Goldie came out with an excellent analysis. Sussex began by losing Mr. Fry for a duck’s egg. Mr. Goldie and Vine put on 91 runs for the second wicket, the former hitting brilliantly, but afterwards there was a succession of only moderately good scores and a follow-on was necessary—which was quite a new experience for Oxford. When stumps were drawn Mr. Fry and Vine had put up 60 without loss, and on Saturday they obtained a mastery over the bowling. Fry was in splendid form. Finding plenty of balls to hit he hit brilliantly, and it was on the cards that having saved Sussex from any chance of defeat he might make runs euough to lead them to victory ; his splendid innings lasted for five hours and twenty minutes. W ith Ranjitsinhji as his partner 167 runs were put on by perfect cricket in eighty-five minutes. Oxford had an hour and fifty minutes to bat but easily played out time. O xfo rd U n iv e r sity .

A splendid inning8 of 113 by Mr. E. L . W right for Winchester, and another of 89 by the Hon. A . H. S. Mulholland for Eton were the most noticeable poiats in the first day’s cricket, of which Winchester had a little the best. Each side completed an innings, and Winchester began the second day with a lead of 26. In the end there was the greatest excitement, but Mr. Ellis and Mr. Warburton made a splendid stand for the eighth wicket and pulled the match out of t^e fire for Eton. H . C. McDonell, the Winchester captain, was unfortunately unable to play owing to an injury. W in ch ester . First innings. V . G. McArthur, b Whately 0 A . C. Johnston, b Ellis ... 84 E. L.

Som ersetshire w on b y an innings and 117 runs. Somersetshire men at Bath had a pleasant experi­ ence last Thursday, for their team were batting all day and only lost five wickets. Mr. L. C. H. Palairet was seen at his very best, and if there had bsen no other fine batting, this would have been enough to please the most exacting of critics. He was within eighteen of his second hundred, after tatting for three hours and a quarter, when he was caught in the slips. W ith Draund (who played admirable cricket) he put up 225 for the first wicket in two hours and twenty-five minutes, and with Lewis, 73. On Friday, Mr. V . T. Bill delighted the spectators by his bridiant play; bis 86 runs were put on in an atout an hoar and a half. Lancashire had only a draw to hope for. They did not ds very
