THURSDAY, JULY 3 bd , 1902. T h e England team at Shtffield to-day (Thursday) will be selected from :— A . C. MacLaren (captain) (Lancashire) F. S. Jackson (Yorks.) K. S. Ranjitsinhji (Sussex) Gh L. Jessop ((iiouceater- shire) R. Abel (Surrey) J. T. Tyldesley (Lanca­ shire) W . Lockwood (Surrey) W . Rhodes (Yorks.) G. H. Hirst (Yorks.) A. A. Lilley (Warwick­ shire) L. C. Braund (Somerset­ shire) Shofield Haigh (Yorks.) Ranjitsinhji is, however, unable to play owing to a severe strain, which handi­ capped him during the Sussex match at Leyton, and it is understood that T. L. Taylor and C. B. Fry are the reserves. I t will be noticed that the chief sur­ prise in the choice of the above twelve men is the substitution of Abel for C. B. Pry. It by no means follows that Abel will actually play, but it is something to find that at last his claims are recognised by the Selection Committee at a time when he has not been making many runB. Haigh appears in place oi: T. L. Taylor, who may have to be content with the barren honour of being twelfth man in one match. If Abel does play there will be, in addition to Lockwood, at least one player on the side, who has a reputation for being a steady batsman. I t is quite a curiosity of cricket that the two brothers Y. F. S. and E. T. Crawford should have each run into the nineties on Saturday at about the same time, and under the most discouraging circumstances, for different first-class teams. V. F. S. made 94 for Surrey v. Lancashire, and E. T., 90, for “ An England X I .” against the Australians. B e g in n in g with three runs in the first test match, at Birmingham, M. A. Noble’s last scores were (before the Scotland match) as follows: 2 and 0, 5 and 0, 1 and 0, 1 and 1. This is a disappointing world. I t was only to be expected that C. B. Fry’s action in closing his innings at Brighton against Oxford, would be severely criticised because Sussex lost the match. But in these days when first- class cricket has become such a very serious matter it is pleasant to find a captain risking something in the hope of gaining a victory. Surely the result was worth the risk, for although Sussex lost, the Oxonians gave such a brilliant exhibition of batting that they fully deserved their success. Doubtless if Fry had done the same thing in a County Championship match he would have been beheaded on the spot, but as there were no “ points ” to be gained or lost in this match he may be forgiven in time. T h e teams for the University Match at Lord’ s, to-day, are as follows:— CAMBRIDGE. E.R.W ilson(Rugby )(Cpt.) S. H. Day (Malvern) E. M. Dowson (Harrow) L. V. Harper (Rossall) R. N. R. Blaker (West­ minster) E. F. Penn (Eton) C. H. M. Ebden (Eton) C. E. W inter (Upping­ ham) J. Gillman (St. Paul’s) F. B. W ilson (Barrow) L. T. Driffield (St. John’s School, Leatherhead) OXFORD. W. H. B. Evans(Malvern) W. S. Medlicott (Harrow) A. C. Yon Ernsthausen (Uppingham) M. Bovihmn-Carter (W in­ chester) R. C. W . Burn (W in­ chester) C. H, B. Marsham (Eton) (Capt.) W . Findlay (Eton) E. W. Dillon (Rugby) H. J. W ild (Harrow) G-. W . F. Kelly (Stony- hurst) R. A. Williams (W in­ chester) L . Brownlee has received an invitation to be present in case he may be wanted for Oxford. The Old Cambridge Blues are—W ilson, Day, Dow­ son, Harper, Blaker, and Penn ; and the Old Oxford Blues are—Marsham, Dillon, W yld, Findlay, Kelly, and Williams. Thus, Eton, Winchester and Harrow are each represented by two players; Eugby, Malvern, and Uppingham by two each; Westminster, Eossall, Stoneyhurst, St. Paul’s, and St. John’s (Leatherhead) by one. I n the first-class matches at the end of last week there were four partnerships which produced 200 runs, more or less, in exceedingly fast time, viz:—Y. F. S. Crawford and H. S. Bush (Surrey v. Lan­ cashire), 188 in an hour and fifty minutes; E. A. Duff and V. Trumper (Australians v. A Scratch Eleven, at Bradford), 191 in two hours and ten minutes; P. F. Warner and C. J. Bumup (M.C.C. v. Cambridge, at Lord’s), 233 in two hours and a h a lf; and C. J. B. Wood and Board (in an unfinished partnership, London County v. Derbyshire) 201 in two hours and a quarter. This week Eanjitsinbji and Newham put up 344 for Sussex v. Essex in about four hours. S U G G / 1* 1‘0 l ! v I rpoo i .P^ FREE
