9 ' ANOTHER AUSTRALIAN SUCCEEDS. (DT TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION— COrYRIaHT.) London, August 4. Playing for Surrey against Notts, tho Queenslander A. Marshal took five wickets I for 19 runs. INVITATION TO VISIT ENGLAND. : • . , . Sydney, August 5. Tho Board pf Cricket Control has received a cablegram from the Marylebone Cricket Club asking the Australians to visit England next season (1909). AN ALL-ROUND CRICKETER. An average of five wickets for 19 runs against last year's champion county is a great performance, and the Queenslander's figures this season should ho very good. In May, playing against Derbyshire, he took in tho first innings seven wickets for 41 runs (five of these wickets being taken in 13 balls, without a run being scored), and in the second innings five wickets for 32. In tho same match he scored 59 runs for Surroy. Marshal, like Tarrant, is an allround man, though his true worth as a bowler was only discovered last season. Ho was ninth in Surrey's bntting averages last year, and also ninth in the bowling averages, - and Wisden has predicted that ho will do bettor. According to tho samo authority, as a batsman lio is by nature a hitter, and in tho past has not let himself go enough. As a bowler, Tight-hand, medium pneo, he gets on a fair amount, of spin, and his great ' height makes tho flight of tho ball rather difficult to follow. Also, ho fields splendidly, and is tho surest catch in tho Surrey eleven. "As an all-round cricketer," says Wisdon, "he gives vety high proiniso indeed." TO COUNTRY READERS.
