T H ECOUNTIES IN 1886. 1 0 1 for twenty -six wickets an average of just under 30 runs . The Players , who wentin first , madea bad start , and six of the best batsmenwere out for 87. Barlow (113) andFlowers (93), whocame together on the fall of the eighth wicket, however, put an entirely different complexion on the game. Flowers w a sinthree hours and ten minutes ,during which time 172 runs hadbeen added to the score , while Barlowwasbatting altogether for five hours and a half . The latter only gave one chance, whenhe hadgot fifty -eight . Giffen's play was decidedly the feature of the Australian batting . In his two innings hemade150 runs, andbothhis scores of 72 and78 werewithouta mistake. T h eall -round cricket of Barlowand Giffen overshadowed the rest of the play. The former scored 113 in his one innings , and took five wickets ; the latter , in his two attempts , realised 150, besides getting four wickets . Owing to a strained side , Barnes wasunable to bowl in the second innings of the Australians . At the finish the Colonists were 107 runs on, with four wickets to fall .
