Canadian Cricket Field Volume 1 1882

Tho University tenm was decidedly strong, but the Australians had to play without the help of Palmer and Giffon, and the formor's bowling was much wanted. Murdoch won the toss for the Ausr-a- lians, but ho docidod te give Cambridge the innings, P vc:y ques- tionablo policy at any timo, unlcss the advantages are thoroughly clear. The wicket was slow throughout, and the scoring in nono of the four innings reached 200. Some good cricket though was shown on both aides, and the intercst in the gaine was maintained until the very close. Tho featuro of the Colonial batting undoubt- edly was Bonnor's hitting on the third day. Ho made 66 out of 79 whilo at tho wickets, and ho was at the wickets in all about 40 minutes. Ho was twico missed at ahort.slip, but his hitting was quito sensational. His figures included four sixes. Whon ho was out the Australians wanted 113 to win with 8 batsmien still to go in. As theso included Murdoch, Horan, Blackham, and McDonnoll their chances were highly estimated; but Mr. Steel bowled se of- fecotually and the Cantabs one and all fielded up se well, that at the finish the Australians wero 20 runs te the bad. The victory of the English amateurs was recoived with enthusiastie de. light by tho spectators, and it was some time before the excito- nient subsided. Much of thoir success was due te the fine bowling of Mr. A. G. Steel. He touk five wickets for 24 runs--a fine per- forinance. Score: CAMBRIDoE. Hon. A. Lyttelton, b Joncs.. 25 Mr. C. I.

Wllh stronger opponents the Australians might have fared badly at Ts.tnton on Monday and Tuesday, with threo of their best bowlers, Garrett, Palmer and Giffen, all away. As it was, though, Somersetshire began fairly well in their firs 4 innings, the bowling of Spofforth and Boyle wes altogethor too much for them, and the Australians had another easy victory by an innings and 19 runs. The two bowlers mentioned were nover changed during the match, and Spofforth has rarely bowled better. In the first inninge ho took nine of the ton wickets, and in all thirteen wickets for 113 runs. M'Donnell's 48 included eight fours. The lagt Aye wiçkets in Sp egstshir's ret innigs tell for tell-rqn. AUSTRALIANs. H. H. Massie, b Fothoergill....26 A. 0.

THAME8VILLE v NELBON. The final association tic between the above-named clubs was played on tho 29th at Paris. The day was insufferably war, and tho pitch very dead; the out-field had a hit to leg, or a hard out, usually coing into contact with the hilmside that kept away al the breeze. The Nelsondi won the tois and took the field, Smith and Snyder bowling for them. Syer and Duncan came first and went away soon, the former well run eut. Edsa was the neit te put in an appearance, and acted only on thse defensive ; ho stayed a-good timo for he six snicks. Nholla showed go..d form, and Snyder was fotunate in getting him so soon. Atkson began te score at once, sud would have been accredited with more runs but for the bhl side; he hit bard and high, and finally skied one back to thse bowler. His running between wickets was very good and well judged. Smith was then changed for Lindsey, who with his first three did thse hat trick, The tail of eleveli showed little form and were easily disposed of. Atkinson fast and Syer slow began the bowling after lunch, sud the former had things all his own way, for with lis lowdelivery on a dead wicket everything shot; on the other hand Syer got up a good deal. Harley got a couple of good ones away and thon retired. Lindsey played steadily and saw four mon depart before ho went himself. Keefer unfortuuately ran himself out. Smith and Paton were both cleaned bowled by Syer without makiug any stand. Snyder bean well but onlytlasted a short trne. Pitanu played long nud steadily for 2, and he and Lyo poned seven conecAtive maidens. Lyon got three hita but playd Ote Wright broke his duck, und the man net eut was the or thou the total was but 33. ThIe second innings was a repetition of the first, the ball ardilyTver getting up. Syer played steadily; Atkinson hit eut at r. straight and mnissed it. Mimmak hit nup 7, and Duffus skied 8. The bowling was well on the spot. The Nesons went il to nmake 42 te win, and did it with the loss of seven wickets. Harley pulled tSe game eut of tse fire, ud except P.itman ne ene did anything. Atkinson's wides swelled tho total considerably. On thse whole the fielding and formi of the Nelsons was botter than their opponents, but neither wore wvhat eue would expect to find in thse champion teiam. The wicket wvas very muchi against run.getting [and several good mon fell cheaply. Without Atkinson, mecholls and Syeor, thse Thamesvillo club would be very weak, and it might be added he ttthe two former are Chatham mon. Squire and Hickey hail from Bothwell.
