U n til last MoDday English cricketers were inclined to flatter themselves that the great success of the Australian bowlers was due in a large measure to their good fortune in having to bowl on crumbling wickets after their side had won the toss and made many runs while the pitch remained sound. The scathing remarks which were made by some of the critics about the batting of the England team at Trent Bridge on Monday on a somewhat fiery wicket, seemed entirely to kill this cheering theory, but it has been brought to life again by the manner in which the Australian bowling was knocked abcut on the following day, when some of the fire had gone cut of the pitch. In the course of the past month of May every first class team which has appeared in the field, with the exception of Surrey, has had to suffer defeat at least once. The Australians have been beaten by England; Yorkshire and Lancashire and the Gentlemen of England by the Aus­ tralians ; and Surrey is the only county which has escaped. Surrey men will be inclined to say with hope not unmixed with anxiety, “ We wonder how long it will la st! ” T h e first of the test matches is over and England is one up. It was hard on the Australians—extremely hard—to lose the services of Trumper so early in the game, when he was playing perfect cricket, but it was the fortune of war. The Australians must be bitterly dis­ appointed, but they know how to take defeat with equanimity, and some of us who remember our “ panic teams” of 1899 and 1896 may be inclined to think that in this respect they set us a good example. L a s t week N. F. Norman made 204 out of 308 lor three wickets for Downing v. St. Catherine’s at Cambridge, and A. C. Edwards 200 not out for Folke­ stone (358 for seven wickets) v. 7th Dragoon Guards. BOOTS AND OTHER THINGS. [An interesting item of news in connection with cricket appeared the other day. It was to the effect that Burrows had hurst his boots.] Alas ! Alack ! and woe to us, The owl in ivy hoots, And hardly could affairs he wuss, For George has burst his boots. And Jack is in an awful trot— Our Jack with belt begirt— For in his hurry he forgot' To bring his cricket shirt. And Bill is threatening to take His laundress to the court, For washerwomen always make His trousers look so short. And Tom has had his holiday— Our Tom who was so svelte — And, though he tries in every way, He cannot clasp his belt. And Jimmy’s toe is pretty bad— We’re all a lot of crocks— Because, alas ! ’tis very sad, A hole was in his socks. W.A.B. MARLBOROUGH BLUES v. PRIVATE BANKS Played at Catford Bridge on May 20.
