r ENGLISHMEN AT BRISBANE. £ FIVE WICKETS FOR 391. ] ] dY C ABLE —PBESS ASSOCIATION —COPY'EIGHT ] BRISBANE, Nov. 29. ‘ £ Th© English, cricketers, who have J been looking hard for a fast Australian wicket, had their wish gratified today, when they started tne Queensland match in brilliant weather. Ten thousand people were present. Gilligan < won the toss from O’Connor and went / to bat on a perfect wicket. j The English batting in the early stages was solid rather than brilliant, i The most entertaining and dashing dis- < plays were given by Hendren and Chapman, who both charmed the crowd with i crisp shots all round the wicket, being particularly strong in front of 'the j wicket. Chapman’s breezy innings was j a gem, and was one of the best ever played at Brisbane. Hobbs batted se- * dately and correctly, but without bril- ’ liance. Sandham was associated with i Hendren for almost a century partner- t ship. He played stylishly, with some beautiful leg glances. The Queensland bowlers were always on the spot, and commanded respect throughout. They made the batsmen ! play every ball. Hornibrook, who was playing for a place in the test team, ■ sent down plenty of good length stulf, 1 nipping quickly from the pitch. Oxenham (Queensland) was the best allrounder, and had the. early batsmen troubled, cleverly disguising a slow ball. The Queensland fielding was clean and ] finished, and made runs hard to get. * Details:— ENGLAND. < First Innings. !
