CRICKET.
(PBR PRESS ASSOCIATION^
(Received May 11, noon.) London, May 10. In their second innings Lord Sheffield's team knocked up the required runs with a loss of two wickets. The scores were— Grace, b Turner IS Shrewsbury, c Gramam b Griffen ... 23 Read, not oub ... 10 Extras 5 Total 56 Bowling—Giffen, one for 4, two for 5 : Turner, one for 15 ; Coningham, one for 11, The batting of the Australian Eleven was disappointing, especially as the wicket was in excellent condition. Coningham's dashing play and Blackham'a wicket keeping were the redeeming features ; the play of the new men in the team justified their inclusion. Both sides needed practice. Lord Sheffield expressed delight at the general form of the visitors, but thinks it premature to express an opinion on the character of the sportsmen, and considers the Australians were unable to play Lookweod's fast bowling. '* Sporting Ijife " considers the batting of the team of very ordinary character.
