OVERSEAS CRICKET

LANCASHIRE MATCH. GRIMMETT’S GREAT BOWLING. AUSTRALIAN START BADLY. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 15, 11 a.m. LONDON, May 14. The Australians to-day commenced their match against Lancashire. The weather was fine, and the wicket good. The teams are:— Australia: Woodful, Kippax, Jackson,, \Bradman. Fairfax, Richardson, Grimmett, A’Beckett, Hornibrook, Hurwood, Walker. Lancashire: Eckersley (captain), Hallows, Watson, E. Tyldesley, R. Tyldesley, McDonald, Iddon, Hopwood, Duckworth, Sibbles, Paynter. Lancashire won the toss. After Grimmett and Hornibrook had dismissed the strong Lancashire side for the small total of 176, the Australian batsmen were themselves mowed down, and are by no means in a happy position. Grimmett maintained his success in breaking up dangerous partnerships, for when 38 had been scored after an hour Grimmett had Hallows caught. The South Australian, who has played in all five matches, is still bowling splendidly. He dismissed E. Tyldesley, Iddon, Hopwood and Paynter in quick succession. Undoubtedly the batsmen were terror-stricken and afraid to use their feet, to the slow bowler. Hornibrook broke Grimmett’s run of fifteen consecutive wickets by getting Watson. Eckersley hit courageously and, together with Sibbles, scored freely. Grimmett at this stage was resting after two hours at the crease. Eckersley went out in attempting to hit The others failed to last, and the innings closed after 225 minutes. Grimmett bowled 32 overs, 13 of which were maidens. McDonald started at a great pace, while Sibbles kept the batsmen on the defensive.

Woodfull was clean bowled for the third time in England. Bradman started prettily, but there was a sensation when his leg stump was sent flying. Richardson gave an easy catch, and Walker went out in the last over of the day. Detailed results are as follow: LANCASHIRE. First Innings.
