With four wickets down for 50 there seemed, for a moment, the bare possibility of Cambridge boing out for a total of 100, and a dose perate effort by Oxford to force a win. Wilcox, who again played very well, watching the ball right on to the bat, and making some nice off- drives, and hard hits off full pitches of Owen-Smith and Winlaw averted nuch a possibility.
