Cricket 1903

J u n e 25, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 235 T h e volume of scores of the Eton and Winchester matches comes particularly opportunely just as the twenty-fourth game between the two schools is in pro­ gress. Mr. R. A. Austen Leigh, who is responsible for its production, has taken every possible pains not only to veiify the figures but aleo to check the names and initials •of the players, so that for purposes af refeience the little work is of the greatest value. It can be had of the publishers, Spottiswoode and Co., the Eton College Press, for the popular shilling. T h e secretary of the M.C.C., Mr. F. E. Lacey, has made the following announce­ ment:— “ The M.C.C. are prepared to make themselves responsible for a side to visit Australia this year, subject to cer­ tain condiiions, which will in all proba­ bility be accepted.” It is understood that Mr. P. F. Warner is to be the captain of the team. GKANVILLE (Lee) y . M.C.C. & G.-Played at Lee on June 22. G ranville , First innings. N. Cockell, b Cranfield ... 18 A. C.

Played at the Oval on June 22, 23 and 24. Surrey won by nine wickets. In weather which was a complete change from that cf the previous few weeks, spectators and players at the Oval seemed to be living in a different climate It was quite warm, and everybody could thoroughly enjoy the cricket, despite the fact that much of it was pretty slow. For some years University batting seems to have lost its da*h and vigour, and it was not surpii-*ing to find when Oxford went in that on a slow and not very difficult wicket scoring was monotoualy slow. Evans was an hour and ten minutes in making his 28, and Carlisle, the only other man on the side who made more than 20 , an .hour and 20 miuutes in makiDg his 29 Nor can it be said that the batting on the whole was worthy of the reputation of a ’Varsity team; there was a want of confidence about it which was disappointing in the extreme. True. Clode and Lees both bowled well and took every possible advan­ tage of a slow wicket, but the Oxford men showed no enterprise against them. When Surrey went in, Atel, who has struck a bad patch jutt now, was again unfortunate, but Hayward and Hayes were both in good form, and after the latter was out Holland played a fine defensive game ; he and Hay­ ward in paitnerthip increased the total by 103 runs in an hour and a quarter. Hayward, who was not quite in his best form, had a charmed life, being missed four or five tim 3 s, a state of affairs which must have horrified old ’Varsity players who were looking on. He was out third at 149, and his innings of 86 lasted lor two hours and included twelve 4’s. When stumps were drawn, Surrey, with six wickets in hand, were 61 runs on. For a time on Tuesday everything went well with Surrey, who seemed likely enough to have a long lead before the innings ended, for Walker and Raphael both played good cricket, and made a very ustful stand. But when the part­ nership *as broken Burn and Mtrtin brought the innings to a close with great rapidity. For all that, Surrey had a lead of 16'^, and although Evans. Paw- Fon and Wyld batted well, more especially the latter, Oxford had hardly knocked off the balance before five wickets were down. Wyld’s fine innings then came to a conclusion; he had deserved well of his side for he had made a .splendid effort to save the game. When the sixth wicket fell Oxford were only 27 runs on, but Voss hit hard, among his drives being a six off Lees, all run out. At close of play the ’Varsity with three wickets in hatd were 76 runs on. The tail played up well yesterday and the result was that Surrey had to make 104 to win. Clode had bowled very well indeed. Abel and Hayward played very cautiously and put up 43 for the first wicket, and Abel and Raphael continued the same tactics, but Hayes, who socceeded Abel, made runs much more quickly. At lunch time, with two wickets down Surrey still required 26 to win, and at ten minutes past three the match was won. O xford U nivbrsity . First innings. W. Findlay, lbw; b Clode... 3 W . H. B.

Yorkshire won by an innings and 130 runs. The return of Hirst has made a marked difference in the all-round strength of the Yorkshire team. On the first day of this match he p’ayed a splendid inn­ ings of 120 , an innings which was all the more valu­ able because the first part of it was played at a tima when it seemed very probable indeed that the York­ shire total would be very small, for the first four wickets fell for 65. At this total Smith joined Hirst, and the much needed stand was made. This lasted for two hours, during which 151 runs were put on. Smith scored his first 50 f<r his county, and batted in excellent form. After he was dismissed there was a sudden downfall of wickets, and eight men were out at 220. Hirst had batted for two hours and three- quarters for 120 , an innings which included eighteen 4’s, made partly by fine drives, and partly by well judged pul's. Hiigh and Hunter both played well, the latter keeping up his wicket for an hour and a half. Kent had a very bad ha'f hour before stumps were drawn, losing C. J. Barnup, Humphreys, and Seymour f »r 18 runs. For a time on Tuesday morn­ ing Alec Ilearne held out against the Yorkshire bowling, and Fairservice made a very useful 16, but Hirst and Haigh were in splendid form on a wicket which had by no means improved. Kent had to follow on, and although they did better than in the first innings, no one made any prolonged resistance to the bowling, although several men made double figures. The only outstanding innings was that of Hui'h. Once more Hirst and Haigh did well, but at the end Ringrose had to be put on, and quickly finished off the innings. Y orkshire .
