Cricket 1903

M ay 28, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 165 OXFORD UNIVERSITY y . SURREY. Played at Oxford on May 21, 22 and 23. Surrey won by 119 runs. In this match Surrey made several changes from the side which had been so decisively beaten earlier in the week by Essex at the Oval, Leveson-Gower, Barker, Key and Richardson appearing in the places of Hol­ land, Brockwell, Montgomery and Jackson. Although the team was probably not strengthened by the changes, it nevertheless won the match by 119 runs. Surrey won the toss and, although Hayward was cheaply disposed of, succeeded in aggregating 195, thanks to a well-hit innings of 72 by Hayes. The last-named was at the wickets just over two hours, and, apart from a chance to Darling at mid-off when 37, made no mis­ takes. Only two other men on the side exceeded twenty, Key making 26 andWalker one less. At the end of the first day Oxford occupied a very flattering position (on paper), having scored 60 for the loss of Darling’s wicket only. On the Friday Oxford failed to establish a lead on the first innings, only Findlay meeting with any pronounced success against Lockwood and Richardson. The ’ Varsity captain, who carried out his bat for 63, played a freer game than ordinarily. When stumps were drawn for the day Surrey were 191 runs to the good, and had two wickets in hand, Hayward being undefeated with 82 to his credit. The match, therefore, appeared to bo in a very even position. On the Saturday Hayward added but four runs, playing a ball from Burn on to his wicket, after batting three hours and twenty-five minutes. Save for a chance when 27, he made no mistakes, hitting five 4’s and nine 3’s. Needing 197 to win, Oxford fared disastrously against Richardson and Lock­ wood, who bowled exceedingly well, dismiss­ ing the side for the low score of 77. S u b b b y . First innings.

Thanks in a very great measure to their two new men, Gill and Y. F. S. Crawford, Leices­ tershire were enabled to have all the best of the play in this match, for, when stumps were finally drawn on the third evening, the visitors required 78 runs to win, and had but one wicket to fall. The draw was, therefore, all in favour of Leicestershire. Crawford’s innings of 72 was made in 75 minutes, and was without blemish, the chief strokes being a 5 and seven 4’s, whilst Gill’s display, which was marred by a chance at 94, lasted 90 minutes, and contained sixteen 4’s. But for mistakes in the field, Leicestershire would probably have won easily, for Vine and Relf, who made the highest scores in the first inn­ ings of Sussex, were both let off.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. WAR­ WICKSHIRE. Played at Cambridge on May 21, 22, and 23. Cambridge won by 21 runs. Considering that Warwickshire were set 367 to win in five hours and a-half, the side did well to be defeated by the narrow margin of 21 runs. Hargreave was unable to main­ tain the remarkable bowling form he had dis­ played in inter-county matches, and to his inability to obtain wickets at a reasonable cost the victory of the University may in a large measure be attributed. The Cambridge batting appeared more reliable in this match than at any other time during the season, Wilson being seen to great advantage on each occasion, and Dowson reaching three figures in his second innings. Dowson’s display was very exhilarating, as he was at the wickets only two hours, and hit fifteen 4’s, six 3’s, and eight 2’s. The partnership of Wilson and Keigwin in the second innings resulted in 121 runs being added for the sixth wicket. Warwickshire started upon their heavy task in a very promising manner, Kinneir and Devey scoring 126 for the first wicket in 90 minutes. Devey was missed when he had made 2 only, but Kinneir gave no chance whilst scoring 90. Byrne hit merrily for 40, and with but four wickets down for 227, the county appeared likely to pull off the game. The tail-end, however, rendered very poor assistance to Quaife, with the result that the ’Varsity were left winners by 21 runs. Quaife carried out his bat for 66—a very good dis­ play. On the second afternoon play was sus­ pended for half-an-hour whilst Shrewsbury’s funeral was taking place at Gedling. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings. C. H. M. Ebden, b Field ... 17 L.
