CRICKET.
THE GREAT GREGORY. SPLENDID FIELDING. BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPY RIGHT „ (Received Nov 24, 1.55 p.m \ ■ SYDNEY, Nov. 24. Commenting on the cricket match, the Herald *say that there was hardly a. blemish in the attack made, by the home side on the English eleven. The outstanding figure on the ground was Gregory, who displayed such qualities that he must rank among the most prominent fieldsmen of the world today. His performances in the slips were remarkable, and it was chiefly due to them and also to his bowling that England failed to reach the New’ South Wales score.
The Telegraph says Gregory gave perhaps the- most sensational 'display of slip fielding ever seen on a cricket ground. Gilhgan described him as the greatest lie- had ever seen, and the greatest the world will ever see. His catching of Hobbs was one of the most freakish and spectacular catches ever seen. Mailey howled well and repeatedly beat the batsmen and wicket. It was left to Tydesley to show, how he should be played. An ex-inter-Stato cricketer, Albert Lyle, dropped dead while bowling at Anakie, near Geelong.
