The weather was. dull, and the wicket in Rood order. The Victorian Gelding w« poor, but the bowling commanded respect, all the batsmen, except Macartney, playing sound, steady cricket. * -Macartney batted brilliantly and attractively, showing a great variety of resource, while Rock played a solid, careful innings, and took no chances. The bowlers used the off theory a lot, but the majority of the bftsmen refused to touch it. Poor fielding wai responsible for a good many rune, and was frequently "barracked." x
