Cricket 1905

M a t 18, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 141 T H E AUSTRA L IANS . THE MATCH AGAINST OXFORD UNIVERSITY. (FOURTH OP THE TOUR). Played at Oxford on May 15, 16 and 17. Australians won by 200 runs. On the first day of this match the Australians were not seen to great advantage. True they made 241 runs and dismissed three of their opponents for 75, hut all the wickets were taken by Laver, the manager, who is not considered as an actual member of the team. The Australians did not shape well against the bowling of Udal, who did so well in the seniors’ match this year, and even Trumper was occasionally in difficulties with him. Noble was the only batsman on the side who played quite up to his reputation; he was seen at his best, and nothing came amiss to him. When Duff had been caught off Udal, and Armstrong, who in the absence of Hill on ac­ count of a blow on the eye received when wicket- keeping in the Surrey match, was promoted to first wicket down, had been bowled by Burn before he made a run Trumper was joined by Noble. These two men put on 126 for the third wicket, and seemed to have laid the foundation for a big score. But, although 180 was up for the loss of three wickets, the remaining seven wickets fell for 61 runs, Gehrs alone shewing any effective resistance to the bowling; lie was making his first appearance during the tour. Martin finished off the innings in a remarkable way, taking the last three wickets in seven balls for no runs. He and Udal both bowled very well indeed, tfie latter keeping a good length, and making the ball rise considerably at times. The Oxonians began so badly that they lost Raphael, Barnett, and Evans for 26, but Bruce played an uncommonly good game and with Carlisle as a partner, kept up his wicket until stumps were drawn. On Tuesday, Bruce played really fine cricket and reached his fifty when the total was 76. Altogether he was batting for an hour and three-quarters for his admirable 69. The rest of the Oxford batting was disappointing, and the Australians had a lead of 74 on the first innings. Trumper and Duff were both seen to advantage when the Australians went in again, and 104 went up for the first wicket in about three-quarters of an hour. But after this partnership was broken the bowlers began to make their way. Half the wickets were down at 152, but Armstrong and Noble then made a useful stand which produced 48. Noble was out last for a good innings of 61, which took him two hours to put together. Stumps were then drawn and Oxford were left to make 341 between twelve and six yesterday. On a wicket which was crumbling this would have been a difficult task for any team, and it was not surprising that the Oxonians were severely beaten. Laver agaiu bowled very well indeed, and he and Udal can both con­ gratulate themselves on their doings in the match as bowlers. A ustralians . First innings. Second innings. V. T.

Played at Edgbaston on May 15, 16 and 17. Leicestershire won by 9 runs. On the first day of the match Leicestershire had somewhat the best of the game, for after making 276 they took two of their opponents’ wickets for 65. But the batting of the Leicestershire players must have been considered on the whole unsatisfactory to the side, for 230 of the runs were accounted for by three men, the other eight only making 44 between them. De Trafford and King, after the early dismis­ sal of C. J. B. Wood, played a fine game, and V. F. S. Crawford and King made 164 for the third wicket. Crawfordwas in his very best form, and hit brilliantly in style which would make him famous if he were not so inconsistent in his scoring. He was only at the wicket for an hour and fifty minutes for his splendid 119, and his hits included twenty-one 4’s. Warwick­ shire began badlyenough bylosing two wickets for 10, but Baker (35), and Quaife (24) then played out time. They both played well on Tuesday, but although Lilley, Whittle, and Santall were all in good form, the total of the innings was 54 behind that of Leicestershire. In their second innings Leicester­ shire made 136 for four wickets and were thus 190 runs ou. King played good cricket for 50 and Wood for 43. Yesterday the innings came to an end much sooner than was anticipated, but nevertheless War­ wickshire had to make 267 to win. They made a remarkably good fight, and although for some time they seemed to have no chance of winning, a splendid stand by Lilley and Whittle brought them very near indeed to victory.
