The Philadelphian team lost the sixteenth match of their tour at Brighton on Tuesday, when a strong eleven of the Gentlemen of Sussex beat them by two wickets. Brockie was the principal scorer on the side of the Americans. Their bowling, though, on the excellent wicket provided on the Sussex County Ground was harmless, and ten of the T H E F O U R T H A U S T R A L IA N T E A M . MIDDLESEX v. AUSTRALIANS. The decisive victory gained by tho Australian Eleven in this match at Lords on Friday last, was, it must be admitted, a great disappointment for English cricketers. Messrs. C. T. Studd and A. J. Webbe were not able to play for the county, but, other­ wise, it was represented at its best. More than one of the team had earlier in the season acquitted themselves very well against the Colonists on the same ground, and de­ spite the county’s unexpectedly poor display against Surrey, it was hoped that it would be able to make a show, at least, with the bat, against the Australians. -These expec­ tations were, it is to be regretted, in no way realised ; though the ground, which was very bare of herbage, was, certainly^ it must be ow n ed, n ot on th is occa sion in fa vou r o f the batsman. The Middlesex batting, in­ deed, proved a complete failure, and a worse exhibition has rarely been witnessed 5n a good match. - The first innings only lasted an hour and twenty minutes, and the second, though the total wcs exactly doubled, five minutes longer. Messrs. Lucas and O’Brien in the second innings looked like making a stand, when the latter ran his partner out. After this no one offered any opposition to the Australian bowling, and the match ended before the luncheon hour on Tuesday in favour of the Australians by an innings and 29 rum. The rain made the wioket a little easier while the Australians were batting. Still every praise was due to Murdoch for his excellent score of 64, not out, and he has not shown steadier or better cricket during the present tour. The easy victory of the Australians was, of course, though, mainly due to the exceptionally fine bowling of Spofforth and Palmer. These two did a per­ formance very rarely equalled in an important match, bowling1throughout the two innings of Middlesex without a change. Palmer got an extraordinary amoun,t of veork on to, the ball at times, but he was altogether eclipsed by Spofforth. wThe wicket suited the latter, evidently; but he hag rarely achieved a better record. In all he bowled 39 oveyrs and 2 balls for 43 runs and 1 2 . wickets,. Con­ sidering the batting on the other side,, this must be accounted one of his very best achievements. Murdoch kept wicket in place of Blackham, and, as will be seen, “ extras ” contributed 44 to the Middlesex agregate of just under twenty-five per cent. Score and analysis:— M id d l e s e x .
