INTERNATIONAL CRICKET
AUSTRALIANS' FIFTH VICTORY
Oxford Beaten by Ten Wickets
LONDON, Saturday.
On Thursday last the Australian Eleven commenced their match against Oxford University in dull weather.
Gregory won the toss, and elected to bat, and Jennings and Smith commenced for the visitors. The first two wickets fell cheaply, but that consis- tent pair. Macartney and Bardsley, became associated, and there was a decided improvement in the aspect of affairs. Macartney got to 21 when he was clean bowled by Vidier. Bardsley went on and gave a splendid exhibition of batting, his driving and cutting be- ing particularly attractive. In this connection his batting was different altogether to Gregory, who was patchy.
Gregory got to 42 before being bowled by Naumann, and Bardsley was within 12 of another century when he got his leg in front of one from Crutcbley and had to go. Emery gave an enthusing exhibition for 33, getting 17 off one over, Whitty remained not out with 15 to his credit. Crutchley was the most successful bowler for the home team, his three wickets costing only 24 runs.
The University Eleven could do nothing with the bowling of Whitty and Hazlitt, and were all out for 71. Hazlitt secured four for 14 and Whitty four for 11.
Owing "to being so far behind in their first attempt at the wickets, the University team had to follow on, and in their second attempt they did much better than In their initial try, getting 203 for nine wickets before stumps were drawn, thus saving a one innings defeat. Of this amount the principal scores were contributed by Twining and Knott, who each got 42. whilst Crutchley with 35 and Campbell with 29 were the best of the others.
Whitty and Macartney were the most successful bowlers.
Almost immediately prior to the tea adjournment Carkeek was struck on the head by a fast-rising ball from Whitty, and had to retire. Jennings took the gloves in his place, and Web- ster fielded in place of the newly-in- stalled keeper.
The weather was delightful when the match was continued to-day. but the attendance was meagre. Three sundries were added to the overnight score, and then Lord was bowled by Whitty, an.d the innings closed for 206, leaving the Australians 41 to win.
Jennings and Smith began for the Australians, and soon knocked off the runs, Jennings especially playing bril- liantly all round the wicket. Of 33 runs scored off his bat he hit two fives and five fours. Smith remained not out with 9, and the visitors won by 10 wickets.
