James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Companion 1885

45 part of the innings the Australians howled and fielded superbly. Taking the match as a whole thei'e is no denying the fact that the Australians showed by far the best all round cricket. At the finish the Englishmen had a wicket to fall, and were 93 runs to the good. In speaking of the latter part of the game it must-be remembered that England had nothing to play for but a draw.
