James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1899

T H E COUNTIESIN 1 8 9 8. 7 5 light , and C. J. Kortright's fast bowling played such havoc altogether that the wholeside were out for 95. Essex had at the end only 91 to get to win, and the speedy dismissal of H. G. Owen, Carpenter , and P. Perrin afforded just a hopethat there might be a good finish . C. McGahey(44), however, again cameto the rescue , and Essex eventually had five wickets to spare . Essex, 1 8 5and91(5 wickets) ; total , 276. Sussex, 178 and95; total , 273. (19) Essexv. Oxford University. Oxford, May23, 24 and 25. On a slow wicket the Oxford Eleven found the bowling of F. G. Bull and M e a dfar from to their liking , and generally the batting was disappointing . F. L. Fane, an Essex man, was the only one who did well in both innings , and his scores of 41 and36 were very creditable under the circumstances . Essex hadby no meansits best side, but, none the less , showed to advantage in batting as well as bowling . Seven of the Eleven , indeed , made double figures in the first innings . Essex won by seven wickets . Essex, 245 and 41 (3 wickets) ; total , 286. Oxford University , 125 and 160; total , 285 . Overs. Maidens.
