Cricket 1911

182 CEICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 27, 1911. OXFORD UN IVER S ITY v . KENT . Played at Oxford on May 18, 19 and 20. Oxford University won by seven wickets. For the second year in succession the Champions were beaten at Oxford, the margin against them in 1910 being two wickets. This season their weak batting on the first day lost them the game. There was a useful stand for the first wicket, but only one other player exceeded six. For a time it seemed quite likely i hat Oxford would not obtain a lead, half the side being out for 65, but a sixth- wicket stand of 184 by Campbell (who received his blue during his innings) and Braddell changed the whole aspect of the game, a lead of 143 being secured. Campbell, apart from a hard chance of stumping when 68, offered no chance during the three hours and a-half he was in, and hit fifteen 4’s. Braddell, let off when 8 and 42, played bright cricket, and had two 6’s and eleven 4’s as his most remunerative strokes. The county did better when they went in again. Humphreys again played a good innings, Woolley hit up 63 in an hour, and Hatfeild gave considerable trouble; but Hutchings and Troughton failed for the second time, Lagden bowling themwith consecutive balls. Left with 134 to win, Oxford, thanks to a third- wicket stand of 95 by Campbell and the Indian Prince, made the runs with seven wickets to spare. Score and analysis :— K ent . Firstinnings. E. W.

Played at Leicester on M ay 18 , 19 and 20. Lancashire won by 13 runs. John Tyldesley’s bruised shoulder kept him out of this match, and without their greatest batsman the side were hard pressed. Leicestershire, however, were deprived through indisposition of Jayes and A still. Heap, hitting ten 4’s, made 65 out of 80 in 55 minutes by bright cricket, reaching 52 out of 65 in 44, and McLeod and Hornby afterwards added 83 in an hour by dashing cricket, the last-named carrying out his bat for 55 made in 65 m inutes : he hit eight 4’s, the m ajority of them powerful drives. For Leicester.-hire Coe was top scorer with 70, made out of 1 12 in 110 m inutes, but he was missed three times. He added 8 1 in 80 minutes with Lord, and but for missed catches Lancashire would have led by far more than 58. Dean took the last nine wickets off the reel. In the visitors’ second innings a stand oi 85 for the seventh wicket by Sharp and Hornby and a not-out innings of 42 bv Dean were the chief features. The first-named played vigorous and faultless cricket for 140 minutes and hit nine 4’s. Leicestershire were left with 318 to make to win, a heavy task against such a side, but one which for some time appeared likely to be accomplished. Wood and Knight made 57 for the first wicket in 40 m inutes and the former and Whitehead added 99 for the second in an hour and a-half. Lord also helped Wood to put on 68 and, after the latter was bowled, added 68 with Coe. At one time Leicestershire, with six wickets in hand, were within 45 runs of victory, but the tail did little apainst Cook and Dean and Lancashire pulled through by 13 runs. Wood batted for rather more than thrCe hours f«.r his 112 —a faultless innings which contained eight 4’s. Score and analysis :— L a n c a s h ir e . First innings. A.
