OXFORD University skipper Tom Hicks has named seven Blues, including himself, in the side to face Cambridge for the 155th and possibly the last Varsity Match at Lord's, starting next Tuesday.

Ox Univ: J Claughton*, R Smalley, S Weenink, B Byrne*, A Gofton*, J Redmayne, N Millar, R Garland*, T Hicks*, Salman Khan*, D Mather*. *Blue.
The Dark Blues warmed up for next week's test by beating an Oxfordshire A XI by four wickets with 15 overs to spare in the Parks yesterday.
They were set a target of 130 after dismissing Oxon for 199 and recovered from losing their first three wickets for 14. Ross Garland brought up his half-century with the winning boundary.
Oxon's second innings was built around a second-wicket stand of 85 between James France (52) and Steve Bates (36), while Adam Cook later hit a punishing 45.
Scores: Oxon A 141 & 199 (J France 52, A Cook 45, S Bates 36, S Weenink 4-30), Oxford Univ 211-6 dec (J Claughton 77, B Byrne 50) & 132-6 (R Garland 50 no). Ox Univ won by 4 wkts.
