Poole batted very freely and placed a respectable total to his credit, Poole being undefeated with 50 when the innings closed. With an hour and a-half to bat, the Australians opened with McGregor and Mailey, but the pair did not stay long together, the former being dean bowled by Doig when he had scored 7 runs. Mailey carried his total to 13, when Bannerman clean bowled him. Dr. Dolling and Cody carried the score along at a steady rate until at 85 the former got his leg in front to ICavanagh and retired. Sims did not stay long, spooning a ball up to square leg early iri his innings.
