The Nawab of Pataudi, who had, like Morgan, made a century; proved himself the outstanding batsman on the Oxford side, get- ting top score again at the second time of asking. A. M. Crawley, with (83) one less than his Indian colleague, was with him in a great stand, but the other Oxford bats- men did comparatively little.

Although Oxford did not have the best of the draw, their show ing in the second innings was not discouraging. And, in spite of criticisms by county players on other occasions, the pitch at Lord's must have played well yes terday, the last day, because the aggregate exceeded 1,000 runs for the 27 wickets which fell in the course of the match.
