(N.Z.P.A.—Pouter— Copyright.)
(11 a.m.) LONDON. June 3. The Australians were dismissed in tlieir first innings for 111 runs by Hampshire. After the calamities that befell them on an unpredictable rain-damaged | wicket they face (he iast day’s play against Hampshire tomorrow with con-! fider.ee which many who watched the j display today do not share, says the Australian Associated Press eorrespon- 1 dent-. The first innings was a repetition of the match against Yorkshire exactly a month ago when the team on a sticky wicket came within inches of defeat. Hampshire are now 83 runs ahead and will be in a strong position if, as the lore-cast indicates, tomorrow's weather is similar to today's and they go for quick runs regardless of the I consequences The Australians were all at sea today on a “sticky dog" pitch. They lost eight wickets for 03 runs in 80 minutes. The ball skidded, kicked and turned unpredictably after the heavy rain last night and alternating sunshine and showers this morning, Miller’s 39 was the one bright spot in the Australian innings. As a measure of the amount of spin the wicket took, Knott, the right-arm off-spinner who took five for 57, had to bowl round the wicket to preventthe ball from spinning too far from the bat. A hail-storm just before lunch prevented any further play today.
