RESULTS AND AVERAGES

(By "Not Out.") ~

Not onjy did the rain sa^e England from what looked like Certain.' defeat in the fourth Test of the present series with Australia, but if also settled all arguments as'to whether the fifth Test should be played to a finish. The position so far as the Tests are concerned— the present series,and the whole series —is that each side has the same number of wins. Tho luck has been against Australia in;this series, but-what more interesting position could be created, than that the last Test should b? the deciding one and. played to a finish.! Thero will bo quite a long w"ait, and between now and August 18, whon the final Tost jit the Oval is to commence, there will be.much to occupy, the cricket mind—reflection and anticipation. Hurriedly glancing back over the present series of Tests, the matches show tho. following results;—First Test, at Nottingham.—Australia 374 and 273 for oight wickets (declared); England: 268 and 141. Australia -won! by 238 runs. ' ' Second Test,'. at Lord's, —England 440; Australia 284 and 118. England won by an innings and 38 runs. ' Third Test, at Manchester.—England 627 for nine -svickots (declared) and 123 for, no wickets (declared); Australia 4!)1 and 66 for. one wicket.. Match drawn. Fourth 'j.,jit, at Leods.—'England 200 and 229 for six wickets; Australia 584. Match drawn. "Without going into details of the individual performances the averages are: AUSTRALIA.

The Australians do not havo a letup, though their immediate engagements are not strenuous. Today they commence a; match with Durham (two •days),-, after; which they, proceed to Scotland, for a, match at Edinburgh commencing on Friday.'.■■: -■-•■•■; ■,_/ • i
