THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION.] London, August 26. The Press generally condemns the form shown by the Australian cricket team in the match against the South of England, the apathy exhibited by the team being characterised as inexcusable. The Australians are advised, for the sake of their reputation, to declare all their engagements off, unless they are prepared to show more interest in their work. London, August 27. The match between the Australians and Past and Present of Oxford and Cambridge Universities was commenced at Portsmouth to-day. The latter went in first and scored 241, the principal scorers being W. H. Patterson, Cambridge, 84, and Lord Harris, Oxford, 52. Turner took six wickets for 85 runs, and Ferris two for 84. At the close of the day's play, the Australians had made 22 without the loss of a wicket.
