The Australians had an easy win against Oxford University. Moore aui Patoudi made a stand in the first innings, but thereafter the wickets fell rapidly till Peebles, the secoud-to-last ipan in, offered s some resistance. Grimmett bowled well throughout the innings. Oxford quickly lost three good batsmen for 25 within an hour of following on. Ford and Melville were associated in a useful partnership, but the other batsmen failed to stay long. Wall finished with a good average for the innings. Richardson brought off the most brilliant catch of the tour when he accepted a one-handed chance at deep mid-off from Hill Wood off Fairfax; the ball was almost on the ground when the fieldsman reached it. Australia won by an innings and 153 runs. Following are the principal scores:— AUSTRALIA. —First Innings. Two wickets (declared) for 406 OXFORD. —First Innings.
