A splendidly contested game, four runs being wanted to win whentue last Australian batsman went in. • The Aigburth ground has never had i he reputation of weaving well, and on this occasion winning the toss was a great advantage. •Mr. A. G. Steel hit finely for 72, but gave two chances; Trice made 37, Barlow 24, and Briggs 23. A f t e r the Hist day the ground crumbled very much, and the Australians found Cross- land extremely difficult to play. The Liverpool men were 73 runs ahead on the first innings, but in their second they collapsed befoi’e the bowlingof Palmer and Boyle, Mr. A. G. Steel, with 29, being the only double figure scorer. Throughout the last innings of the Australians the cricket as most exciting, the. result being in doubt right up to the finish. Jt'® wickets fell for 23 nuis, and the chances seemed all in favour of Livei- pool. Murdoch and Bluckham, however, made a determined stam, and put on (59 runs. The former scored 38 (not out), and the latter l • Murdoch ought to have been run out a little before the close, o Liverpool might just have won. Crossland took 5 wickets for nb *UT'‘’ and (J for 20. In the two innings of Liverpool, Boyle too wickets for 57 runs. n w
