The scores were :—Armidale—First innings 91 ; second innings 139, with 4 wickets to fall. English Eleven—First innings, 183. Briggs was absent, having been thrown from a horse and severely bruised and shaken. T he English Eleven commenced a match at Ashfield on March 5, against eighteen juniors. The latter went in first and scored 100. When stumps were drawn the Englishmen had scored 9 with no wickets down. CRICKET IN AUSTRAL IA . T he thirty-fourth match between the representatives of these Colonies, played at Sydney, on Feb. 13, 14, 10, and 17, was not productive of the excitement usually evinced in Intercolonial matches. The unfortunate rupture between Murdoch’s Team and the management of the English Players was in a great measure responsible for this lack of interest. The action of the Victorian Association, in suspending those members of Murdoch’s Team who had refused to play for their Colony against Shaw and his men, of course weakened the Victorian Team immensely. The absence of such players as Palmer, McDonnell, Blackham, and Scott, prejudiced the prospects of the visitors so much that their chances were regarded as hopeless, and the result was generally lookad upon as a moral for New South Wales. As the score, though, will testify, the Victorians showed excellent cricket throughout, and their performance, considering that they had the worst of the luck in the ground, in being only defeated by three wickets, was highly creditable. Owing to pressure of business, Murdoch was unable to represent New South "Wales, but, despite the absence gf Evans, the Colony otherwise had its strength, the eleven including the giant Bonnor, who, though he bad played for Victoria in the first Inter-colonial of the season, was in the return drafted into the New South Wales forces. Massie, the captain of the home team, though he won the toss, decided in consequence of the heavy rain over-night, to take the field. The wicket was soft, but played better than was expected, and the' Victorians made a highly praiseworthy show, sevsn of the Eleven reaching double figures, against the bowling of Spofforth, Garrett, Jones, Bonnor, and Marr. The best form was that of McShane, and considering that when he was at the wickets the pitch had been a good deal cut up by Spofforth, his batting despite a little luck was very good. The feature of the first innings of New South Wales was the brilliant play of Charles Bannerman, who it will be remembered was the most successful batsman of the First Australian Team in 1878. Since that time he has been out of form, but his play in this match was of the very best kind, and, in commenting on his batting, the Melbourne Argus describes it to have been one of the best performances ever seen on any ground. It further adds “ he played with an amount of freedom and confidence, which undoubt­ edly went to show that he is still one of our most reliable batsmen.” In appreciation of his brilliant play, a sum of £65 was collected on the ground antt^tniTrd'ed" to Kim on the conclusion of the day’s play. Though the wicket suited Spofforth, during the second innings of Victoria, some good batting was shown by Trumble, Spofforth,Worrall, Morris and Walters — Worrall, whose first Inter­ colonial it was, displaying very creditable all­ round cricket. A t the close of the third day, New South Wales had made 59 of 209 wanted to win, for the loss of two batsmen, Jones and Moses. Heavy rain during the night did not, however, improve their chances, and on the following morning, after the first hour the wicket was all in favour of the bowlers. Bonnor, though, hit with great vigour, and with Alick Bannerman fairly won the match for his side. The latter was caught at forward point by Worrall off Trumble, when he had made 62, but the umpire (Swift) gave him not out. Though he gave two other chances, his innings was a very brilliant one, con­ sidering that the wicket during the latter part was all against the batsman. Altogether, the match was a pleasant and interesting one, and considering the calibre of the opposing team, the close finish reflected the greatest credit on the Victorian eleven. The batting trophy of five guineas for the highest score fell to A. Bannerman, and one of the same value for the best bowling to Horan, who took four wickets in the second innings of New South Wales for 43 runs. First Innings. G. J. Bonnor, c and b Worrall 6 F. R.
