England won b y 185 runs. This mat eh was unsatisfactory in al­ most every way, except that it enabled the Englishmen to add another victory to their credit. It cannot be open to question that the winning of the toss meant winning the match, for when the rain came after the first day the Aus­ tralians had not the ghost of a chance of being victorious. The Englishmen can hardly be said to have made the most of their advantage on the fortunate first day, for with an almost certain prospect of rain on the morrow, they only suc­ ceeded in scoring 221 runs. True they only lost two wickets in doing this, and as things turned out they had done sufficient for success. As a matter of fact after the rain came the Australians had Blightly the best of matters, scoring more runs per wicket than their opponents, but nothing that they could do could compensate for the long lead which the Englishmen had as the result of the first day’s play on a perfect wicket. Through­ out the first day the play was Blower than anything which had been seen in Australia for a very long time, for even when Bannerman was at his best there were always other men in with him who could score at a reasonable pace. Warner and Hayward played themselves in with the greatest deliberation, and when lunch time came the score was only 65, the first hour having produced 40 runs. Afterwards the two first wicket men continued steadily on, takiDgno liberties, and never hurrying, until at 122 Hay­ ward, after batting for two hours and thirty-five minutes, was caught at c >ver- point for 58. A quarter of an hour after this Warner’s innings came to an end, and two wickets were down for 132. Thus far there was nothing remarkable in the state of sffiirs, and the Austra­ lians cjuld not be said to have done badly, but at the end of the day, when foste r and Tyldesley were still together and no more wickets had fallen it was a different tale. Foster was not out 49, Tyldesley not out 46. Rain fell during the eveniog and follow ing night, and when the game was resumed in the course of the afternoon it was soon seen that the wicket was going to be very difficult. A t first the bowlers were not much helped, because the turf was wet, and the ground slippery, but before long they began to gain the u p jer hand. Unfortunately Foster was unable to con­ tinue his innings, having caught a severe cLill which developed into ikflutnza. In his absence Braund and Tyldesley made the best of things while the wicket remained wet, but after Braund’s dis­ missal Knight, Hirst and Rhodes were speedily disposed of. When rain fell again at four o ’clock Tyldesley was not out 97—a magnificent innings. The rain stopped at five o ’c'ock, but the game was not resumed that afternoon. Total 306 for seven wickets. On the Monday there was some sensational cricket, for the wicket was exceedingly difficult. The remaining three wickets only increased the total by nine runs. Tyld*>sley did not increase his overnight sc >re; his innings lasted three hours and ten minutes. When the Australians went in they very soon found that it was Rhodes’ day, and with the single exception of Trumper no one began to play him. But Trumper played a magDificent game. H e had to take risks, and took them with a light heart, all the more so because he was missed several times during his brilliant inniDgs, which produced 74 runs out of 122. He was the last man out, and without much doubt he could have kept in longer if he had not hit out at almost everything when the end was near. According to the new rule in test matches in Australia, the follow on was saved, the limit being 200 runs. By the time that stumps were drawn the Englishmen had lost half their wickets for 74 runs, Tyldesley, who again played a great game, being not out 48. Thus they were now 267 runs on with five wickets to go down. On the fourth and last day the bowlers, more especially Rhodes, again had very much the best of the situation, and when the Australians
