Since G regory’s team startled the cricket w orld b y defeating a picked team in 1878, the fixtu re s between the A u stra lia n cricketers and M C .C . and Ground have alw ays attracted more th an o rd in ary in tere st. N o r w as the latest m atch, begun at L o rd ’s on M onday, w an tin g in w h at is term ed sensation. On the co n tra ry, the fin ish w as productive of the greatest excitem ent, and the game w as only won b y M .C .C . after an exceptionally fine e x­ h ib itio n of h ittin g against tim e. T h e M aryle ­ bone C lu b w as able to p ut a ve ry strong side in to the field , in clu d in g M r. W . W . B e ad , the S u rre y am ateur, who, we believe, w as only elected a m ember late la st w eek. A tte w e ll’s ankle had not recovered su fficiently to allow him to p la y w ith any confidence, but other­ w ise the eleven w as ve ry strong at a ll points, and the in clu sio n of M a rtin , the left-handed bow ler of K e n t, proved a w ise selection. E x ­ cept th a t B lack h am w as s till unable to p lay, the A u stra lia n s, too, w ere in fu ll strength, T rum b le , who had been so successful at M an­ chester, again getting a place in the team in preference to C harlton. L u c k for the sixth tim e in the tour favoured M uraoch in the toss, and, as the ground appeared to be in cap ital condition fo r ru n -g e ttin g , th is was thought to be an auspicious commencem ent. Jones, who opened the batting w ith Ly o n s, played in better form th an he had p reviously shown during the to u r, and th in g s looked fa irly hopeful when the th ird w icket fell. T h e total then w as 81, but the show of the later batsm en w as very disappointing, and four w ickets w ere dism issed in succession w ith the score at 92. G regory batted w ith con­ siderable p lu ck for h is 23 not out, and h is p lay was the on ly redeem ing feature of the later p art of the inning s. A t the same tim e, it m ust be added th at he ought to have been run out d irectly he came in , had not M r. M archant, who m ig ht have got the b all v e ry close to the stum ps, throw n at them and missed. M arylebone, who had done very w ell to dis­ m iss th eir opponents for a sm all totalof 124,sup­ plem ented th eir excellent out-cricket by some creditable batting, and in the two hours and a h alf th at rem ained on M onday w ere able to m ake 160 for the loss of s ix batsm en. W hen p lay was resum ed on Tu esd ay m orning, there­ fore, they were 36 on w ith four w ickets in reserve, and as these o n ly added 34, the com ­ pletion of the in n in g s le ft M .C .C . 70 runs in hand. T h e m atch, ow ing to W ednesday being D erb y day, had, according to arrange­ m ent, to be finished by Tuesd ay evening, and as the A u stralian s did not go in a second tim e t ill 12.30 th at d ay, there seemed every chance of a draw. T h e obvious aim of the in ­ side w as, if possible, to avert defeat, and w h ile M urdoch and T ro tt w ere in the prospects of a definite result seemed very rem ote. These two batsm en became partners w hen Jones (the second w icket) w as out at 19, and for n e arly an h o u r they rem ained to­ gether, h aving added 52, w hen Murdoch unfortunately played on. Going in on the fa ll of the sixth w icke t at 112, W alters lent T ro tt valuable assistance, and d u rin g th eir p artnership the game again seemed to in d i­ cate a d raw . H ow ever, w ith the total at 103, M artin bowled T ro tt, and after W a lte rs was out, 11 runs later, the in ning s w as soon over. T ro tt w as b atting three hours and a quarter for h is 61, and had he only been fa irly w ell supported, a defeat w ould have been avoided. H e played consistently w atch fu l cricke t, quite the rig h t game under the circum stances, and h is judgm ent and patience were a lik e w orthy of the h ig hest p raise. W ith 111 to w in , and only eighty-five m inutes in w h ich to m ake them , it w as quite on the cards th a t they would not be got in face of the good bow ling and close fielding of the A u stralian s. M r. G race, though, w isely when fast scoring w as required, selected M r. S h u te r as his partn er, and runs cam e so q u ick ly, m ostly from T u rn e r, th at 32 w ere got in the first fifteen m inutes. T ru m b le then took the ball from T u rn e r, and 17 ru n s later M r. Shuter, going out to h it F e r r is , lifted the ball, and w as caught by the w icket-keeper for an extrem ely useful and w ell-hit 29. M r. M archant, another rap id run-getter, followed, but after m aking a single T u rn e r bowled him , and the second w ick e t was down w ith the total 68 . T h e runs had been m ade in forty m inutes, and as three-quarters of an hour was s till le ft, the position of tho M .C .C . w as in fin ite ly better. G u n n , the n ext com er, too, shaped in h is best style , and ju st as the 100 w ent up an hour had elapsed. I t looked now as if the ru n s would be got w ith o u t another w icket, but when w ell w ith in h a il of victo ry, M r. Grace, who had played w ith a ll h is best judgm ent and freedom , was u nfo rtunately ru n out. M r. Stoddart and G unn, however, q u ickly got the runs s till w anting, and M .C.O . had won b y seven w ickets. W hen the w inning h it was m ade, there w as seventeen m inutes to spare, so th at the 111 runs had been got in sixty-eight m in u tes, a rem arkab le feat against such bow ling. M artin fu lly justified h is selection by h is excellent bow ling. A l­ together he got nine w ickets, for an average of under thirteen ru n s. Before leavin g the m atch, it is w orth y of record th a t a sh illin g was charged for adm ission, the firs t tim e at L o rd ’s in A u stralian m atches. A ustralians . First Innings. Mr. J.J.
