James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1894

8 0 LILLYWHITE'S CRICKETERS' ANNUAL. cult on the second morning , and Middlesex , who had lost two good wickets in the half -hour over -night for thirty -five runs , were dismissed in the end for a total of 108. Some exceptionally fine cricket by A. E. Stoddart (125 ) and T. C. O'Brien (113) entirely changed the whole course of the game, when Middlesex went in a second time . In fact , in less than two hours and a half the two put in 228 runs , and more attractive cricket could not have been seen. Thoughlater on F. G. J. Ford (72), with one life just after he came in, hit with great determination , the tail failed to uphold the early promise , and the last five wickets only added 24 runs Surrey's position , even though they wanted 199 to win, was by no means hopeless . Still the majority failed completely before the bowling of J. T. Hearne and Raw- lin, and as the whole side were out for 119 Middlesex had a most creditable victory by 79 runs . Middlesex 108 and 377, total 485 ; Surrey 287 and 119 , total 4 0 6. (7) C a m b r i d g ev. Oxford. July 3 and4. O nthe form of the trial matches the result seemed a certainty for Cambridge, and so it proved . The play of the Oxford eleven , too, was by no meansup to the form that was generally expected , and the batting in particular was very disap- pointing . Berkeley's bowling was perhaps the one redeeming feature of the cricket . Henot only kept an excellent length , but bowled with great judgment , and with better support he might have materially influenced the result of the game. Jackson , the Cambridge captain , fully upheld his reputation as the best all -round player in the two elevens . Latham also shewed himself to be a thoroughly sound and reliable batsman. The hitting by Gayand Perkins towards the close of Cambridge's second innings relieved the general dulness . They put on 77 in a little over half an hour. The Oxford batsmen played Wells' slow round-arm bowling very tamely ; still his performance in the first innings was a very credit- able one . Cambridge won by 266 runs . On the first day 11,090 persons paid for admission ; on the second 11,466 . Cambridge has now won 30 of the 59 matches , Oxford 26, and three have been drawn. First Innings . F. S.
