A DIFFICULT WICKET

O'REILLY REAPS A HARVEST THE GLOUCESTER MATCH SLOW BOWLER TROUBLES AUSTRALIANS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. June 2. . (Received June 3, at 11 a.m.) The weather was cloudy and there was a biting wind when the match, Australia y. Gloucestershire, began this morning at Bristol. The wicket at the start appeared slow and easy and not helpful to the bowlers, but the batsmen did not profit from the bleak conditions. M'Cormick appeared valueless under the conditions. The start was delayed until 12.15. Allen won the toss, and decided to bat. The Gloucester team is: B. O. Allen, Barnett, G. Emmett, B. H. Lyon, Crapp, Neale, G. Parker, Sinfield, A. Witson, Cranneld, and C. Tyler. Allen batted brightly, but was troubled by the spinners, and was nearly an hour in making 15 runs. Gloucester’s score at lunch was two for 61, but upon resumption the wicket was difficult, and O’Reilly reaped a harvest. He took five wickets for three runs off four overs. After lunch eight Gloucester wickets fell in half an hour of 17 runs. The batsmen were so nervous that they scarcely attempted to play the ball. The wicket could not fully account for their pitiful display. Australia opened at 2.55. Brown and Badcock’s batting was dull, but Gloucester had nobody to exploit the vice in the wicket. After_ a correct and restrained hour’s batting Brown was caught at fine leg. M'Cabe was beaten playing a purely defensive stroke. Badcock and Hassett played defensively, waiting to < score off loose balls. Upon their dismissal the wickets fell quickly, but Ward stonewalled while O’Reilly hit gallantly until stumps. Sinfield, a slow bowler, was very accurate, and worried all the batsmen, who were unable to penetrate his leg side field. Details

TEST TRIAL SLOW BATTING LONDON. June 2, (Received June 3, at 11 a.ra.) The first test trial match, England v. the Rest, was resumed this morning. The newspaper critics were surprised at the good score by the Rest. They do not think, however, the side should have made so many runs, indicating that the English attack would not be good enough against Australia. Although Edrich and Hutton put on 113 for England’s first wicket, their batting was painfully slow. Details:— THE REST.
