CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA . NEW SOUTH WALES v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Played on the Sydney Cricket Ground on November 30 and December 2 and 3. New South Wales won by an innings and 98 runs. The New South Wales eleven won their first home Inter-State match of the season, played on November 29th, 30th and December 2nd, easily by an innings and 108 runs. Neither Gr. E. C. Clarke, their new slow bowler who was in for his final examination, nor L. O. S. Poidevin, the batting hero of the match against the English team, who had strained him­ self, could play. On the other hand, the veteran George Giffen was unable to come to Sydney to represent South Australia. The chief features of the match were the batting of 0. Gregory and J. J. Kelly for New South Wales, of Clem Hill and Kirkwood, the Colt, in the second innings for South Australia. M’Beth bowled well, but the batting of the South Australians, and, indeed, their cricket all round, was very disappointing. N ew S outh W ales . V .

Some high scoring was the result of this match, begun on the Melbourne Club Ground on November 22nd. After five days cricket the Victorians won by five wickets, a good win considering they had to go in against a big total of 410. Victoria was without Hugh Trumble, and South Australia without George Giffen. Hack showed fine cricket each time for South Australia, as did Clem Hill. The East Melbourne Club was in rare form in the persons of H. Stuckey, F. Laver and P. M’Alister, who all got hundreds. Laver was not out in either innings, scoring 145 in the match. Stuckey and Laver added 150 for the seventh wicket in Victoria’s first innings. Besides his big score at the finish, P. M’Alister made five catches in South Australia’s second innings. But for their bad fielding, particularly at the finish, the South Australians might have won the match, or been very near it. S outh A ustralia . First innings. Second innings. B. T.
