Played at Durban on October 25, 27 and 28. After the completion of the second test match on October 21st the the Australian cricketers left Johannesburg en route for Durban, whtre they were to play Fifteen of Natal. On their way they took the oppor­ tunity of visiting Ladysmith and Colenso. Arriving at Ladysmith on the night of Octo­ ber 22nd, the following morning they were the guests of the mayor at breakfast at the Royal Hotel. Then they were driven to Wagon Hill and after another festive gather­ ing, this time in the Town Hall, they left for Colenso. After visiting the principal battle­ fields in the district, including Fort Wylie, Hlangweni Bridle Drift, Tugela Heights and the scene of Colonel Long’s disaster, they were entertained to dinner, leaving the same night for Durban. Hugh Trumblo had left the party for Capetown to return home, so the team played their last matches without him. Arriving at Durban on October 24th, the team were welcomed by a reception com­ mittee, after which they proceeded to the Marine Hotel. The Governor would have been preseut had it not been for a serious family bereavement. In a telegram to the Mayor he expressed his regret that he had been prevented from coming to Durban to welcome the Australians in the name of the colony. On the following morning (October 25th), the team began their one match in Natal. This was against Fifteen of the Colony, which included Lees, the Surrey player, engaged for this winter with the well- known Natal club, the Wanderers. Having won the toss the Australians went in. As only thirteen of the Natalians had to field, Thomson and Conroy stood out. The absence of Llewellyn weakened the home side materially and his all-round cricket was greatly missed. Armstrong, who began the batting with Trumper, was soon out for a single, and the latter, after making 51 of the next 90 was clean bowled by Lees. Noble, Hill and Gregory all did fairly well, but the best batting was that of Hopkins, whose 55 included three 6’s and two 4’s. Going in against a total of 268 the Natalians at the end of the first day had made 27 for the loss of Cooley’s wicket. On the second morning Nourae and Collins, the not outs, showed good cricket, with the result that 39 had been added when Collins was bowled. Nourse’s dismissal at 81 was followed by two more wickets, those of Whyte and Hume, the cap­ tain, at the same total. The later batsmen, notably Bisset, Mowatt and Coney, played up pluckily with, in the result, a total of 206. With a lead of 62 on the first innings, the Australians gave a chance to the tail, sending in Jones and Carter. With 25 for one wicket Trumper came in, to be finely caught in the long field when he had made 13. Carter and Armstrong got into the 30’s and then Hill hit the Natal bowlers freely, scoring 61 not out by the drawing of stumps. Heavy showers fell during the night and rain delayed play on the following morning, October 28th. After increasing his score to 90, an innings with some luck, Hill was bowled, and after Noble had been given out l.b.w., Darling closed his innings. Wanting 266 to win the Natalians made a disastrous start, losing Cooley, Nourse and Thompson, all bowled by Jones for seven runs. Collins saw Deane out for three runs and was then caught in the slips for a useful 23, the result of an hour’s batting. Six wickets were down for 45 when Bisset and Conroy became partners. With these batsmen still in rain began to fall, and after one brief resumption it descended so heavily that the game had to be given up altogether. A u stralian s . First innings. Second innings.
