Gregory was bowled off his foot by Storer, who had given up the gloves to take the ball. Iredale was in splendid form, and never gave a chance, although he was at the wickets five hours. Owing to eight counties being engaged in regular matches the Players' team is by no means representative, none of the Yorkshire, Notts, and Surrey cracks being available. July 10. The Australians made 454 in their first innings, Iredale contributing 171, which included one 6 and twenty-two 4's. Graham and Trumble failed to score. Kelly made 25.
