Total ......-z1_o This was an extraordinary match 11] many ways, aml one that proved efi'ectually the pluck of the Colonials in playing an up-hill game. Leicestcrshire made a good start, as Wheeler and Saukey got 113 runs for the first wicket, aml as will be seen by the other scores on the side of the County, it was solely due to their cfiorts that the Australians were 63 runs behind in the first innings. Wheeler, whose play the Australians assert was the best shown agaillst them duriiig their tour, played another fine second innings of no, but the tail was again weak, the last five wickets only addiiig 16 runs. Tlie Australians had a far from easy task before them of making 20!) runs, but 0. Batnnermau, their great bat, was in mag— nificent form, and when he was thrown out by a substitute he had made asmmiy as 13:3 out of 20] for two wickets, an innings absolutely withmit a fault, and one which for fine, clean, well-timed batting has never been surpassed. It is worthy of remark that in this innings tlie Australians scored their 200 runs from the bat, from 76 overs, and 2 balls, or at the rate of nearly three runs per over. (10) Australia v.
