The English team had beencarefully selected , and with one exception no possible objection could be taken to the choice . Unfortunately , at the last moment Mr. A. H. Evans, the onlyfast bowler in the eleven , had to give up his place owing to indisposition , and rather unwisely , according to general opinion , Mr. Ramsay(slow-round arm) was chosen . Thebowling of the English eleven was undoubtedly too muchof the samekind, and the Australians scored freely off all , with the one exception of Mr.Grace. Theygained a very decided advantage in winning the toss , as the wicket cut up considerably towards the finish , and was all in favour of the bowlers . Theground was muchagainst the Englishmen undoubtedly , but except Messrs. W. G. Grace and Steel , none showed any confidence . The former played the best cricket for 61 and 32, but otherwise the batting was altogether a failure . Fromevery point of view the Gentlemen's play was disappointing . TheAustralians wonby an innings and one run. Australians , 334 ; Gentlemen, 182 and 151, total , 333 . Overs. Maidens. Runs. Wickets. 3 1 . 2 1 3 4 9 8 Giffen (1st innings , Gentlemen).
