J u n e 28 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 229 SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UN IVERSITY . Played at Brighton on June 21, 22 and 23. Sussex w onhy 192 runs. On a wicket which was somewhat fiery Sussex commenced fairly well, each of the first two wickets realising 41. Killick, who batted an hour and a half and hit eight 4’s, was lucky, and the younger Relf gave a better display. With Killick he put on 43 for the fifth wicket, whilst Dwyer helped him add 40 for the ninth in 20 minutes and Butt 63 for the tenth in 40. Altogether he scored 89 out of i71 in 135 minutes without being dismissed. He hit ten 4’s and was twice let off. The innings closed for 274, and, in response, the visitors scored 92 for five wickets before stumps were drawn. On Friday the outstanding wickets fell for 58 in 70 minutes, the innings closing for the poor total of 150. With a lead of 124, Sussex added considerably to their advantage, Smith and Vine putting on 55 for the first wicket and the latter and Killick 53 for the second. Vine scored his 31 out of 108 in two hours, batting steadily and well, as usual. Killick played well for 50, but was favoured by the field. The brightest cricket of the day was seen during the partnership of Leach and Robert Relf. who put on 78 for the sixth wicket in 45 minutes. When stumps were drawn Sussex had lost eight wickets, but were 439 runs on. It was stated that, during the day, the University missed no less than nine catches. On Saturday the Sussex innings was at once declared closed, leaving Cambridge the tremendous task of obtaining 440 to win with a whole day before them. Payne, who made 81 out of 115 in 95 minutes, and hit eleven 4’s, put on 73 for the third wicket in 50 minutes with Eyre, but was missed when 47. By lunch time six wickets were down for 161. Main­ price afterwards scored 59 out of 94 in 55 minutes, hitting ten 4’s, but Cambridge, after batting 200 minutes, were dismissed for 217, Sussex winning easily by 192 runs.

Surrey won by nine wickets. Neither side was fully represented in this match, Surrey being withoutDalmeny, Knox, Orawford and Lees, whilst Oxford lacked the services of G. N. Foster and Udal. The visitors made a deplorable start, losing Bruce and Gordon without a run and Barnes at 13 in half-an-hour. Buxton and Wright then added 52 together for the fourth wicket, the former, who played a fine game and hit eight 4’s, scoring 61 out of 106 in 85 minutes. Half the side were out for 106 when Branston went in. The old Carthusian was seen at his very best, his off-driving being especially good. He was missed when 33, and reached 50 in just over an hour. Altogether, he made 80 out of 113 in 95 minutes, hitting a 5 and eight 4’s in his most valuable innings. The whole side were disposed of in three hours for 219, Gamble taking five of the wickets for 78. Before play ceased for the day Surrey foreshadowed the result by making 201 for the loss of but one wicket, Hayward being not out 115—his eighth hundred of the season. On the second day Hayward and Hayes continued together until tho partnership had realised 210 in 125 minutes. Hayward was then sent back for a splendid score of 144,made out of 236 in 140minutes. He reached 50 out of 70 in an hour, and 100 out of 175 in 110minutes. He hit well all round thewicket, but excelled in off-driving. He hit a 5 and seventeen 4’s, and, apart from a very difficult chance when 25, made no mistake whatever. Hayes also played a brilliant innings, scoring 218 out of 424 in 240 minutes. He hit twenty-nine 4’s, gave no chance, and obtained his second hundred in 70 minutes. His partnership for the fifth wicket with Chinnery resulted in 133runs being added in an hour. When the fifth wicket fell the total was 450, but against the bowling of Curwen and Branston the last five fell in half-an-hour for an addition of but 33. Still, Surrey possessed a lead of 264, and, when Oxford had lost five wickets in their second innings for 71 in 65 minutes, it appeared more than possible that the game would not last into the third day. Bran­ ston and Gordon then came together, and advanced the score without further loss to 228 before play ceased, Oxford then being 36 behind with half their wickets in hand. Branston’s score was 77, and Gordon’s 72. On Saturday the former was soon sent back, but not before the sixth wicket had put on 172 in 125 minutes. His 86 was a splendid, as it was a faultless, display, and contained five 4’s. Gordon batted altogether 185 minutes for his 117, and hit seventeen 4’s. His back play was very strong, and his innings, although he offered two sharp chances after reaching 100, a capital one. Bird and Donald­ son put on 30 for the ninth wicket in half-an-hour, but Surrey were set only 92 to win. Hobbs was out at 34, but Baker and Goatly knocked off the remain­ ing runs without further loss, Surrey winning by nine wickets. Baker, who hit a 5 and five 4’s, scored 47 out of 95 in three-quarters of an hour, and off an over from Branston obtained 19 runs (4, 4, 4, 4, 3). After lunch Surrey obtained 37 runs in ten minutes.
