AN EASY WIN

M.G.G. TEAM IN AUSTRALIA TOUR CONCLUDED SYDNEY, December 10. Maryleboue had a comfortable win over the Australian eleven when the match was concluded to-day. The visitors won by 203 runs. The Australians again gave a weak batting display on a good wicket. The bowling of the Englishmen was always steady but never hostile. Sims kept a beautiful length, and had all the batsmen subdued. Parks also bowled well. The batting, apart from that by Robinson and Easton, was featureless. The fielding of the Englishmen was very keen. Human took a remarkable catch to dismiss M'Gilvray. Running in the outfield he tripped, but held the ball inches from the ground while stretched at full length on the grass. The M.C.C. hopes to sail by the Wanganella on Thursday. It will not play any further matches in Australia. Details;— MARYLEBONE, First Innings. Nine wickets (declared) ... ... 411 Second Innings. Nine wickets (declared) 207 AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN.

“ SPLENDID LOT OF FELLOWS "

Ifl the event of the team not sailing on. the Wanganella because of the strike, every effort will be made to embark on the Monterey on December 14. The Monterey’s accommodation is already severely taxed. The president of the New South Wales Cricket Association, Mr Sydney Smith, presented each member of the M.C.C. team with a miniature boomerang embossed with the association’s badge, and Hardstaff with an inscribed ball in recognition of his feat in scoring 230 not out. Mr Smith described the players as a splendid lot of fellows, and added: “We will be well pleased if Marylebone sends us a team of similar type next season.” E. R. T. Holmes, in acknowledging the gifts, said there was not a member of the team but would consider himself lucky fo be invited to Australia again next year.
