CRICKET.
AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND.
MATCH v. M.C.C. AND GROUND.
(per press association.) LONDON, June 13. The wicket played much better today. Some of the fielding was very good. The Australians, who had lost two wickets for -25 at the end of the previous day's play, continued their innings, which closed for 183. They wore thus defeated by an innings and 18 runs. The scores are : — Australians. — Second Innings. Kelly, b Hearne 0 Graham, b Hearne 5 Trott, c McGregor, b Hearne ... 14 Gregory, c McGregor, b Hearne ... 28 Iredale, c McGregor, b arne ... 0 Hill, b Hearne ... 4 Trumble, b Hearne 0 Darling, c Stoddart, b Hearne ... 76 Eady, c Grace, b Hearne 42 McKibbon, not out 3 Gifian, absent '. 0 Sundries 11 • Total 183 Darling and Eady showed a fine defence, the latter-being at the wickets half an hour without scoring. Hearne took the whole nine wickets at a cost af 73 ;no wickets for 33 ; Grace, none for 21. Hearne was simply unplayable until Darling joined Gregory, and then Hearne had the bad luck to miss him in the slips, which was about^the only mistake made in the field. Eady opened with extreme care. Twice he was beaten and narrowly escaped losing his wicket, but afterwards played freely and was at the wickets two hours. Darling played a fine innings, but made a few uppish strokes, one in the slips being dangerous. He was the chief factor in putting on a hundred runs in sixty-five minutes. His score included eight fours. Giffen is recovering.
