CRICKET

AUSTRALIA V. NOTTS. A WRETCHED DISPLAY. (UNITED SERVICE TELEGRAM.] Recd 11.30 a.m. LONDON July 27. The Australian v. Notts match was resumed in cloudy weather with an intermittent sun. The very slight rain ou Sunday had not hurt the wicket. The attendance in the afternoon was eight thousand. In Barratt’s third over Richmond at point badly missed Hendry when 25. Runs came easily for a while, but J. Gunn missed Oldfield at cover though the ball came straight to him. Hendry reached his 50 after 80 minutes steady batting, but at 666 lost his partner, and was then stumped himself when playing out to a ball well off the wicket. The innings closed for 675. Hardstaff, of the eight bowlers tried, camp out with Iho best average. The Notts men made a shocking display. Three wickets were down for seven. Carr and Hardstaff made a short stand, both batting forcefully to the super-bowling and fielding. The former’s middle stump was upset at 32, and after that Whysall with 15, was the only man to do anything. Most of the batsmen wanted confidence. The wicket was easy and they were obviously unable to cope with the fast bowling though Gregory was not putting on his greatest pace. In the end the County were, out in 94 minutes for the paltry total of 58. Scores:

Nobody could have been more helpful and conciliatory than Mr. Smith, who may rest assured that so far as the English administrators are concerned he has won golden opin. ions.”
