Cricket 1902

M a y 29 , 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 165 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. YORK­ SHIRE. Played at Cambridge on May 22, 23 and 24. Drawn. On the first day of this match there was only twenty minutes' play, Vorkshire scoring 16 runs for tbe loss of Rhodes, who, in the absence of several of the best bats in the team, had gone in first for a change. On the next day there was no play until after lunch, when on a bowler’s wicket Yorkshire made the very useful score of 219 for the loss of eight wickets. By far the most noticeable innings of the day was the 94 of Denton, made in three hours and ten minutes by fine all-round cricket. T. L. Taylor and Rudstone, a new comer in the Yorkshire eleven, also batted very well indeed. On Saturday morning Lord Hawke promptly declared, and Cam­ bridge had to fight hard against Haigh and Birst to make a respectable total, for the wicket had by no means improved. But after a terribly bad com­ mencement, six of their wickets being down for 24. K . R. B. Fry and E. R. Wilson made a splendid stand which produced 63 runs, and saved the side from an ignominious follow-on. Yorkshire again declared in the second innings, leaving Cam­ bridge to make 167 runs. It very soon became a question whether after all they would not be eeverely beaten, for Haigh was in such form with the ball that half the side were out for 15. But again two men were found who were capable of stay­ ing the collapse, and Dowson and Blaker so nearly played out time, that when they were separated a draw was inevitable. Dowson played a wonderfully good gan.e. Y o r k s h ir e .

After a wasted day, this match was begun on Friday last at half-past twelve, on a new pitch chosen at some distance from the middle of the ground. On the day’s play, Lancashire had the best of matters, for against a first innings of 122 by Kent, they had scored 89 for the loss of four wickets. The chief feature of the day’s cricket was the fine batting of C. J. Bumup, who had hitherto met with very little suc­ cess this season. He went in second wicket down, and earned his bat for 60, after playing in excellent style for an hour and forty minutes. On Saturday the Lancashire innings cim e to a conclusion sooner than had been anticipated, for the tail, with the ex­ ception of E. E. Steel, who played very well indeed for 22 not out, did next to nothing. In their second innings, Kent found W ebb in irresistible form with the ball, and Mason alone made any serious resistance to him. In the end, Lancashire only had to make 31 to win. K ent .

As it was not possible to begin this match until just before two o'clock on the third day, it was quite clear that there would be no other result than a draw. As far as things went Warwickshire had by far the best of the game, and when stumps were drawn they were leading by fonr runs, with eight wickets still in hand, and two men, Kinneir (40) and Moorhouse (31;, well in. Langdon played an excel­ lent innings for Gloucestershire. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e . Hale, b Charlesworth 0 Wrathall, c Glover, b b Charlesworth ... 25 Langdon, run out ...47 H. C.

Played at Oxford on May 22, 23 and 24. Australians won by an innings and 54 runs. By general consent the Oxford team is this year considered to be much below par, and their chances of making a good fight with the Australians were very small indeed. Yet in the face of the greatest diffi­ culty and discouragement they played a sound innings which would have done credit to the Austra­ lians themselves, and it was not until ten minutes before the time for drawing stumps on Saturday that they had to acknowledge defeat. If only one of the team had managed to make a big score the match would have been saved, but although several men, notably Voss, Williams, Kelly and Findlay, worked splendidly for their side, the best men failed to do themselves justice. As usual, Darling succeeded in finding a bowler who could make the best of the wicket when the others had failed to do anything of importance, and when he put on Saunders he may be said to have won the match. In the first Oxford innings Noble and Armstrong were in very great form, and only the first two men—Dillon and Marsham — could withstand them. It was by no means an easy wicket that the Australians batted on, but against the weak Oxford bowling, Trumper, Duff, Hill and Hopkins all greatly distinguished themselves, Trumper’s innings being more especially noticeable. Up to the present he has shown himself to be by far the best batsmen in the team on a difficult wicket, but Clement Hill is now in form, and whether the weather becomes good or not he may be relied on to do great things.
