Cricket 1902

134 CRICKET : A \VEfcKtY kECOfeD OF THE GAME. M a y 15 , 19 02. he has always been so famous. J. Gunn played a great game for two hours and a quarter, during which he made 80 runs, and Anthony and W. B. Goodacre also did well. At one time during the innings there were 214 runs up for only four wickets, and at this time things looked anything but well for the Australians. On the second day the visitors began well with Trumper and Duff, who put up 67 for the first wicket, and at the end of an hour nearly a hundred runs had been scored with only one wicket down. Then came a change, and half the side were out at 137. The sixth wicket fell at 173, and then Darling was joined by Hopkins, with the result that before the next wicket fell the total had been increased by 131 runs, most of them from the bat of Hopkins, who showed considerable hitting powers attimes. Darling was still unconquered when stumps were drawn ; during the first part of his innings he hit out boldly, but afterwards played an exceedingly steady game. The total was 355 for seven wickets. On Saturday, Kelly and Darling were in fine form, and when the latter was dismissed for 128 their partnership had produced 111 runs. Darling had enjoyed a good deal of luck in the matter of missed catches, but for all that his innings was worthy of the highest praise; he was at the wickets for nearly five hours. The innings was by no means over, for Jones, who was batting for twenty-five minutes, hit up 38 runs by the most vigorous cricket, and eventually the Australians had a lead of 187 runs, lhis was just before lunch. There did not seem any chance for some time that the game could be finished, for Notts began very well, but the bowling of Armstrong completely upset all calculations. No one played him with any confidence, and he had a splendid analysis. N otts . First innings. A .O .

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. MR. LEVESON-GOWER’S XI. Played on the University Ground on May 8 , 9 and 10. Cambridge won by five wickets. The University had reason to congratulate themselves on their all-round play in this match, and although their bowling was collared in the second innings, they always seemed to have the match m hand. The visitors in their first innings found the wicket at its worst, and they would probably have been well advised if they had put the University in, risky as such a proceeding is generally known to be. By the end of the first day, Cambridge were leading by 69 runs, and had six wickets still in hand. On the second day they increased their advantage considerably, thanks chiefly to a fine partner­ ship between C. H. M. Thring and K. R. B. Fry, who, while they were together, part on one day and part on the other, scored 219 runs in less than three hours. Except Dow son, who played well for 66 , no one else helped much towards thetotal. In the second innings of Mr. Gower’steam, H. B. Chinnery played very attractive cricket for 77. "When stumps were drawn on the second day, the visitors, with seven wickets in hand were still 119 runs behind, but they made a fine fight of it on Saturday. Bosanquet was in great form, making his runs very quickly by excellent hitting ; he was only an hour and a quarter in scoring 103. Despite his efforts and good cricket by J. E. Winter and the captain of the side, Cambridge had no diffi­ culty in winning the match. M r. L eveson -G ow er’ s X I. First innings. Second innings. C. J.

Tbe chief feature of this match was the fine batting of W. H. B. Evans in both innings for the Sixteen, it is pretty certain that he will now have a good trial for the University. The play on the first two days was not at all like that which one is accustomed to associate with University cricket, and there was a deadly air of dullness over the proceedings. On the third day things were much more lively. Brownlee made 38 by excellent cricket in a little over half an hour, and during the pertnership of Evans ana Darling, 111 runs were scored in about an hour. N e x t X V I. First innings.
