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.

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.
