THURSDAY, JUNE 29 th , 1899. $atotiton <&o 0gtp. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet T h e record of the Australians is now as follows:—Matches played, 15; won, 9 ; lost, 1; drawn, 5. Darling has won the toss seven times and lost it eight times. T h e team which is to represent England in the third match against Australia is as follows:— +A. C. MacLaren (Lancashire), capt. *+C. B. Fry (Sussex). *tK . S. Ranjitsinhji (Sussex). J. T. Brown, sen. (Yorkshire). *tHayward (Surrey). +Lilley (Warwickshire). *J. T. Hearne (Middlesex). Young (Essex). W . G. Quaife (Warwickshire). The other two places will probably be filled by two of the following:—T. Richardson, Briggs, Brockwell. * Played at Nottingham June 1, &c. t Played at Lord’s June 15, &c. Mr. Jackson would have been selected by the committee appointed by the Board, but stated that for private reasons he is unable to play. This is a calamity. Shrewsbury was chosen to play, but declined to accept the invitation. This also is greatly to be regretted. The choice of Young may be regarded in the light of another and an interesting experiment. It may be taken for granted that Heame was surprised to find him­ self included in the team, as he has, of late, been unsuccessful with the ball. From the Field :— “ It is, of course, easy to attach too much importance to the main results of the two games that have taken place between our visitors and carefully selected elevens of Eng­ land ; but there is no denying that Australian ciicket now occupies a different position from that which it had previously attained. Whereas hitherto in an England v. Australia match there would invariably have been a general expectation of an English victory, the case is now exactly reversed, and the most sanguine of cricket patriots hardly look forward with assurance to the forthcoming engagement at Leeds. In so far as there can be anything in the nature of a ‘ test ’ match between two elevens of similar calibre, the Australians are entitled to the benefit of all the indications. The best test, however, is not to be found in the mere results, but in the manner in which they have been brought about. As every experienced cricketer knows, ‘ form ’ is a safer guide to an estimate either of a side or of a player than batting scores and bowling analysis.” ■( “ As a mere matter of figures,” con­ tinues the Field, “ such a match as tbwt in which Australia beat England at Lora’s last week proves a great deal too much. The utter failure of some of the b«rt batsmen in the world in both innings
