CRICKET : A W E E K L Y BECOBD OF THE GAME. 41 8T. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.0. THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1885. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. T he Adelaide Observer of March 21 gives details of a match played on the Oval in that city on the previous Monday, in which there was some fast run-getting. The contest in question was the return between elevens representing respectively the South Australian Register and the South Australian Advertiser. The former, who won the toss, were at the wickets all the afternoon. They commenced hatting at half-past two, and at six o’clock had secured a total of 368 runs for the loss of only six wickets. In the first hour 120 were made,and the runs altogether were got at a rate of more than a hundred an hour. The Observer adds that this is the largest score yet obtained on the Adelaide Oval. As the members of Shaw and Shrewsbury’s team are expected here soon enough, in all probability the full strength of Notts will be placed in the field at Trent Bridge against Sussex on Thursday next. The mails by the “ Potosi ” will be in on Mon­ day, and as the team are coming by the overland route in every likelihood they will be in England on that day. In this event the Notts Eleven will consist of Attewell, Bean, Barnes, Flowers, Gunn, Shaw, Shrewsbury, Sherwin, Scotton, Selby and W. "Wright. Should the five on their way home be delayed, I understand that C. Shore, H. B. Daft, Mr. J. A. Dixon, A. Smith, and Mr. C. W. Wright will in all probability take their places. T he Australian mail which reached London on Tuesday, brought with it the full score of the third and last match between the English Team and the Combined Eleven of Aus­ tralia. A cablegram on the com­ pletion of the game told us the result, but the decisive victory of our men naturally evoked great curiosity as to the composition of the Australian team, and also to learn those who had chiefly contributed to the success of the English players.
