Malden, not out ................. 2 Extras.................19 “ T h e Public School Cricket matches of forty years ago ” by Frederick Gale- ~ being a second edition of “ Public School matches and those we meet there” —has just been published by David Nutt, 270, Strand, atashilling. This little book,which appeals very strongly to all public school boys, more especially Etonians, Harro­ vians, and Wykehamists, is written with all the spirit which usually characterises the work of Mr. Gale. His description of the origin of the book, and of the manner in which it was first published, is delightful. The same firm publishes “ Echoes from Old Cricket Fields,” by the same author at the same price. This contains fourteen chapters on different subjects, and every one of them is full of interest. I n a match at Kenley on Thursday, August 6th, between the Blue Mantles and Kenley, no less than five of the visitors were run out. Only eight of their wickets fell as the innings was declared closed. This must be something like a record. The score is as follows :— B lue M a n tle s . E. A.

Q u it e apart from the winning of the toss, England had a distinct advantage over their opponents in playing on the very tricky wicket at the Oval. It was in all conscience bad enough for England to be confronted with such a wicket after practically a whole season of dry weather, but their players in previous years have had plenty of experience of tricky wickets, and so were not absolutely taken by surprise. To the Australians, on the other hand, who only get a bad wicket two or three times a season, the experiences of the last two days were so unusual that they deserve the greatest credit for their extremely plucky play. T h e 69 runs for one wicket which were made by England on Monday had an enormous influence on the result of the match, and, as things turned out, it was a very great gain indeed to win the toss. If the match had been postponed until Tuesday morning there might not have been much in it either way. I f the Australians had won this match, they might have lost every other match remaining in their tour,without damaging their reputation, for they would have accomplished what no other Australian team had done in England. As it is their brilliant record has been spoiled, for Mr. Murdoch’s teams of 1880 and 1882 only lost four matches, while the present team has lost five. It is the irony of fate that the Australian captain after winning toss after toss in matches which, in all probability, his men could have won whether they had gone in first or second, should lose the toss iu the most important match of all, when it made all the difference in the world.
