THE E IGH TH AUSTRALIAN TEAM . SIXTH MATCH—v. LANCASHIRE. Messrs. G. Giffen and J. M. Blackham werf, fortunately, able to resume their places in the Aus­ tralian team at Old Trafford on Thursday la6t, and with the best effect as the result proved. Mr. Hornby could not he’p Lancashire, but the County was for once able to obtain the valuable services of Mr. A. G. Steel, and with Messrs. Mc­ Laren and Crosfield also in the eleven the side was as representative as it well cou’d te. Mr. Blackham was unfortunate in the toss, and as the wicket was in good condition there seemed a proe- pect of a longish outing. The effective bowling of Mtssrs. G. Giffen and McLeod, however, poon, destroyed any such chance. In a little over half an hoar five Lancashire wickets had fallen for 10, and though Ward had batted from the first with great judgment and care, when the last batsman, Mold, was out a little before luncheon, Ward was still in with 49 out of 97 to his credit. Tinsley and Mr. Kemble, who hit with greit resolution, alone rendered him assistance. It is worthy of notice, as an indication of the poor show of tbe majority .of the side, that these three batsmen were jointly responsible for 83 out of 93 from the bat. Nor was the out cricket of the Lancashire eleven of a much better order when the Australians went in to bat. Sugg missed Mr. Lyons when he had only made 18, and the big hitter added twenty-two before he was caughfc'out. The life he had was only one of several mistakes, for Messrs. Bruce and Graham, who scored freely while they were together, were each let off. the latter twice. When pJay ceased on Thursday night the Australians had scored 167 for six wickets, and this was in­ creased by 55 before the innings came to a close on the following morning. In arrears to the extent of 125 runs on the first hand, Lancashire had a difficult task before them. As in their previous innings, too, the bowling of Mr. G. Giffen was the chief cause of their failure. Ward again played excellent cricket, and towards the end Mr. Kemble hit with a vigour that was positively refreshing. Still the batting was generally only moderate, and as when the tenth wicket fe 1 the total was only 111, the Australians had an easv vic­ tory bv an innings and 14runs. The bowling of Mr. G. Giffen. as already stated, was the chief ingre­ dient in thejr success. In the match he took eleven wickets for 91 runs, a performance of no small merit. L ancashire . First Innings. Mr. A G.

The Australian team were not seen to advan­ tage at any point in the'r first match against Surrey, legun at the Oval, on Monday, and fin­ ished on the following afternoon, bannerman could not play owing to a strair, but Mr. Turner was able to take his p a ce in the te»m, so that it was as well represented as it has i een as yet. The wicket at the outset was soft from recent wet. and Surrey did well under the circum­ stances to reach a total of 181. The credit of this rested with the later batsmen, and some of the best cricket of the day was shown by Brockwell, who carried out his bat for S3runs. Messrs.Tumer and Giffen equally divided the wickets, the former having a trifle the tester figures. The first over of the Australian innings was a curiosity. Mr. Lyons was nearly caught by Richardson off his own i owling the very first ball. With tbe third, Mr. Trott might have Veen run out, had not Marshall, who threw Mr. Lyons’ wicket down, returned to the bowler’s end. and from tha fourth Mr. Lyons was caught at third man. Richarc- son’d pace proved too much for the next few tatF- men, and the score was only 35 when the sixth batsman went. A heavy downpour of rain sus­ pended the game for an hour, and on the renewal under the disadvantage of an easy wicket and a wet ball, the Surrey towlers fared so badly that Messrs. Gregory and Graham p utcn 57 without the loss of another wicket. On Tuesday morning Mr. Graham was soon out, but his partner con­ tinued to play fine cricket, and was eventually not out at the close of the innings. He came in when the game was altogether against the Australians, and his p'ucky and confident tatting was worthy of the highe.-t praise. After the heavy rain overnight, it was certain that the wicket would not improve, so that Surrey’s lead of 58 on the first innings was of great value. When they went in a second time At el was badly run out by Lockwood, lu t Mr^Read and Hayward played so well that it seemed as if there was an outside chance of a fairly good score. After their separa­ tion, Maurice Read, tent on bitting—the right game—scored freely, but no one else except Henderson, cou d do much with Mr. Ti umble, ai d the last six wickets ooly add*d 44 runs. As the wicket was, the Australians had a difficult task to make 139 runs to win, and it was felt much of their chance depended on Mr. Lyons. Fortunate'y for hurrey, Richardson fowled him with a fu'l pitch for two, and then things went so badly with the Australians that seven wickets were down for only 29 inns. Messrs. Graham and McLeod, h wever, when they got used to the wicket played with great pluck, and the former’s batting wan some of the best cf the match. After they had added 47 runs, Mr. irahamwas cautht at cover point, and Richardson coming on aga-n dismissed the last two batsmen—Messrs. Ti umble and blackham—so quickly that Surrey won with 58 runs to spare. Kichirdson’s fast bowling was a very great factor in their success. In the match, altogether, he took eleven wickets for 95 runs, a very fine performance. This, it may he added, is Surrey’s first victory over the Australians liuce 18i6. S u rr ey . First Innings.
