THE ENGLISH AVERAGES

FOR THE TOUR.

The Australian mail which reached Wellington on Tuesday contained details of the Northern Districts match, which enabled the compiler to conclude his task for the Englishmen's tour in Australia. The cabled' figures have been checked, and a satisfactory result has been arrived at. The tourists scored 11,236 runs for 293 wickets, an average of 38.34^ runs. Gilligan received 102 extras, leaving a balance of 10,834 hit by the tauraen, details of which are suppHsd. England's opponent* lo»t 415 .wickeU ion 10,16b run*, 4a aruagt of

Following are the detailed averages:—
