AUSTRALIANS’ EASY WIN

GLOUCESTER’S FEEBLE EFFORT SCARED BY SPIN BOWLERS [BY CABLE: —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. June 4, 11 a.m.). LONDON, June 3. The weather was sunny at Bristol to-day. O’Reilly and Ward were dismissed with successive balls from Sinfield, while Tyler finished off the Australians. Sinfield "was applauded for his outstanding figures. Gloucester re-opened at 11.55 a.m. on a tricky wicket. Wickets fell rapidly. Allen was again the only batsman not scared by the spin bowlers. He had a life when 6, but hung on until 42, and finally skied O’Reilly, the catch being accepted by McCabe at forward squareleg. Gloucester were all out after 105 minutes. O’Reilly and Fleetwood Smith bowled very well against batsmen who showed little skill. Australia, needing twenty-two runs victory, McCabe offered batting practice to Waite and Ward. Despite the loss of the whole first day and 70 minutes of the second, Australia, with utmost ease, won with two and a-half hours to spare. Scores: —
