C r i c k e t : A WEEKLY RECORD OT THE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, L0 ID 0 I, E.C. The abstract and brief chronicle of the tim e.— Samlet. A f t e r the exceedingly close finish in the fourth England and Australia match at Manchester, it was extraordinary that there should have been an even more exciting struggle at the Oval in the fifth and last match. To have to go in for the fourth innings of a test match to make 263 on a difficult wicket, and to win, after losing five wickets for 48, was a feat of which the England team might well be proud. Jessop’s great innings was the main cause of the success of his country, but Hirst, Lilley and Rhodes showed splendid pluck at the critical time, while but for Jackson’s determination in the earlier stages of the innings, victory would not have been possible. The Englishmen were fighting against odds all through the match, and it was indeed a triumph to pull through after all. T h e scores made by England and Aus­ tralia in the five matches this season are as follows:— Australia. England. 36 376 (9 wkts., dec.) 46 (2 wkts.) Edgbaston L ord’s ... Sheffield .. 102 (2 wkts.)

Oval It will thus be seen made 1395 runs for 72 wickets, average 19'37 per wicket; and England 1646 runs for 70 wickets, average per wicket, 23'51. But, despite the superiority thus shown by England, Australia has had the good fortune to win two out of the three finished matches, and therefore comes out on top. Som e years ago George Brann used to be put on to bowl for Sussex pretty often, and although it must be admitted that he did not generally meet with much success, he occasionally surprised his opponents. Last Saturday he was tried as a forlorn hope when Braund and S. M. J. Woods were making runs wholesale, and dis­ missed both batsmen, besides taking a third wicket. His analysis worked out very well viz., 11 overs, 45 runs, 3 wickets. T h e well known Robinson family played Clifton on August 5, and scored 227 for seven wickets against a total of 104. Theo Robinson made 106 not out, carrying his bat through the innings, and Percy Robinson made 63. The score of the innings is as follows:— B ao k w e ll H ouse .
